Chapter 569 - Lu Tian

Within the battering sands, figures were slowly walking out from the sandstorm,
before coming to a stop a few hundred metres before the big battle happening before
them. As for the person in the lead, it was precisely Mu Chen.

At this moment, a faint smile hung on his face as he surveyed the intense battle
happening before his eyes. Staring at Lin Zhou and his group, whose eyes were
gradually turning wide, he spoke with a smile.

“Mu Chen!”

Opening his eyes wide, Lin Zhou gawked as he took in the sight of the appearing Mu
Chen, before hastily saying, “Why the hell are you here? Leave, now!”

The place before him wasn’t a good place at all! Lu Tian and his gang wouldn’t let
go of any group present here. Mu Chen suddenly intruding here was simply a
impending disaster for the latter.

Although Lin Zhou knew that Mu Chen’s quite strong from their time in the branch
palace of the Divine Wood Palace, he did not believe that the latter would be able
to contend against an extremely famous experted like Lu Tian.

“Leave, now?”

Hearing that, a chilling smile surfaced on Zhou Ya’s face. Darkly glaring at Mu
Chen, he said with a fake smile, “Were you the one that spoke out just now?”

Giving no heed to him, Mu Chen raised his head. Looking right at Lu Tian and his
gang standing in the air not far from him, who had similarly started to pay
attention to him, he said with a smile, “Looks like we’ve found the right guy.”

“Damnable thing!” The corner of Zhou Ya’s mouth slightly twitched. Sending a
backhanded patting forcefully towards Lin Zhou’s chest, the latter was sent flying
a dozen steps back, before yet another mouthful of blood spewed from him.

Bang!

After sending a palm out to push Lin Zhou away, Zhou Ya’s gaze grew increasingly
ice-cold. In the next instant, powerful Spiritual Energy abruptly erupted from his
body, before moving once again in a spectre-like fashion as he hurtled towards Mu
Chen.

“Careful!”
Clutching his chest, Lin Zhou hastily roared.

Despite this, Mu Chen’s head was still raised as he looked towards Lu Tian and his
gang, appearing to not care the slightest bit towards Zhou Ya shooting straight
towards him.

“Stupid idiot!” Seeing that Mu Chen had unexpectedly not cared about him, Zhou Ya’s
face instantly turned ashen as he malevolently laughed out. At this instant, the
white light radiating from his palm grew increasingly dense, while white bones
seemed to surface from within his flesh and blood. With astonishing force, his palm
furiously patted down towards Mu Chen.

Seeing this, the faces of Lin Zhou and his group instantly turned deathly pale.

Whoosh!

Nevertheless, just as the malevolent-looking Zhou Ya’s palm was about to land on Mu
Chen’s body, a golden light suddenly flashed from behind him. In the next instant,
a golden long spear swept out, smashing against Zhou Ya’s chest at lightning speed.

Boom!

As a low and deep voice resounded, golden light radiated. Zhou Ya’s face seemingly
contorted in an instant, with his face fluctuating between green and red. As an
intense shiver shook though his body, he was sent flying back in an exceedingly
miserable fashion.

Zhou Ya’s feet scraped across the ground, creating two gulges spanning hundreds of
metres across the sand. Upon stabilising his body, close to half of his body had
already been buried in the sand.

Puff.

Multiple mouthfuls of blood spewed from Zhou Ya, dying the sand before him scarlet-
red.

The entire region seemed to have quietened down in an instant.

The mouths of Lin Zhou and his groups started to slowly open wide as they took in
the scene in dumbfound shock. They were truthfully somewhat unable to comprehend
how Zhou Ya, who had suppressed them to the point of being unable to put up any
resistance, had unexpectedly been instantly beaten like a dead dog.

Turning their gazes along the length of the golden war spear extending from Mu
Chen’s back, they noticed an absolutely beautiful girl dressed in golden battle
armor standing right by his side.

This girl possessed a graceful and elegant bearing, with the curves beneath her
battle armor appearing exquisite and soul-stirring, causing people’s blood to flow
quicker upon seeing her. However, at this moment, a golden long spear hung in her
hand as an indifferent gaze shot out from her willowy phoenix-like eyes. Sweeping
across towards Zhou Ya, who was sent flying by her, her gaze appeared somewhat
indifferent and uncaring.

“Wen… Wen Qingxuan!” Blood flowed down the corner of Zhou Ya’s face as he looked
towards the absolutely beautiful girl. Upon spotting her, terror and shock abruptly
gushed from his eyes, before crying out her name.

Wen Qingxuan?

A tremble shook through the hearts of Lin Zhou and the others. To them, this name
was akin to thunder piercing their ears. After all, the group led by Wen Qingxuan
was now placed 2nd on the rankings. To them, the shock of hearing the name of
someone so high up on the rankings was truthfully too strong.

After the momentary shock, all of them proceeded to cast vacant stares right at Mu
Chen. Clearly, they did not understand why Wen Qingxuan would appear by the
latter’s side, and even take action for him.

Not bothering to look more than a glance at Zhou Ya, Mu Chen raised his head to
look towards a place in the sky not far away from him. There, the gazes shooting
out had already been trained on him and his group.

Upon spotting Wen Qingxuan, the faces of the people present there involuntarily
changed, while thick shades of dread and fear started to surface within their eyes.

“Wen Qingxuan… why would she appear at this place? Why is she taking action against
us?” A dozen Captains softly cried out in shock, their voices sounding flustered
and worried. Clearly, Wen Qingxuan had quite a bit of a shock factor in this place.

Fiercely staring at Wen Qingxuan, Lu Tian said in a deep voice, “Wen Qingxuan,
we’ve never butted in your business. What’s the meaning of this?”

Sweeping a look out at Lu Tian with her beautiful eyes, Wen Qingxuan didn’t take
notice to his words, merely keeping her long spear back to allow for Mu Chen to
head forward.

“Haha. You must be Captain Lu Tian, right…?” said Mu Chen, sending a faint smile
towards Lu Tian. “I’m the Northern Heavens Spiritual Academy’s Mu Chen. We’ve come
here today to ask for a favor from you, Captain Lu Tian…”

“Mu Chen?”
Hearing that name, Lu Tian’s eyes instantly contracted. Naturally, he had heard
about some news of Mu Chen. Furthermore, he also knew about the great grudges and
grievances between him and Ji Xuan.

A chilling glint started to surface within Lu Tian’s eyes. Nevertheless, remaining

calm and collected, he replied with an different tone. “Oh? I seem to have no
connection with you… I’m afraid that it’ll be somewhat difficult for me to help
you.”

“I’ve quite a simple proposition for you, Captain Lu Tian,” said Mu Chen with a
smile.

“Oh? Let’s hear it.”

Staring straight at Lu Tian, the smile hanging on Mu Chen’s face appeared somewhat
warm and gentle. Replying in a gentle voice, he said, “I wish for Captain Lu Tian
to publicly announce that you have dispelled the alliance with Ji Xuan.

Hearing that, Lu Tian’s face instantly changed. Sinisterly staring at Mu Chen, he

said in a ridiculing fashion, “This joke’s not one bit funny.”

Wrinkling his forehead, Mu Chen replied, “So, Captain Lu Tian’s not willing?”

“Mu Chen, I know that you have some grudges and grievances with Ji Xuan. However I
have to remind you that it's best for you to be more honest. Let me tell you a
fact! There’s not even half an aspect you have that can match up to Ji Xuan,” said
Lu Tian with a sneer as he stared at Mu Chen. “Compared to Ji Xuan, you’re still
lacking too much!”

“Looks like negotiations are over then,” said Mu Chen with a helpless smile.

“So what if negotiations are over? Do you think that you’ll be able to dominate
this place just by licking Wen Qingxuan’s boot?” said Lu Tian with a sneer. With a
wave of his hand, the dozen Captains of First Grade Spirit Disaster gathered around
him, proceeding to covetously stare at Mu Chen and his group.

In the end, they were in the same boat as Lu Tian, and naturally did not want to
see anything happening to Lu Tian. Although Wen Qingxuan was standing before them,
causing extreme fear and dread to surface within them, there was still the
existence of Ji Xuan behind Lu Tian’s back.

That was the most tyrannical person present on the current point rankings.

If they were able to climb on his boat, there would absolutely be no one in this
central region that would dare to aim for them.

Whoosh!

Below, the people that had encircled the groups, with Lin Zhou’s included, within
had also hastily shot back. Hovering in the air, they sent hostile gazes as they
stared right at Mu Chen and his group.

Crossing his hands before his chest, Lu Tian looked down on Mu Chen from above.
Although there was the existence of Wen Qingxuan and her group by Mu Chen’s side,
he had over a hundred men in the groups under his wing. Among them, the experts who
were in the First Grade Spirit Disaster numbered a dozen. Such a formation would
make squashing Mu Chen to death an absolute possibility.

“With the grudges and grievances present between you and him, Ji Xuan would
naturally come and find you without needing me to get involved. For the sake of
giving Wen Qingxuan face, if you take the initiative and leave now, I’ll not haggle
about the matter of you injuring Zhou Ya,” said Lu Tian with an indifferent voice.

“That truly is a pity.”

Mu Chen gave a helpless laugh, merely that his black pupils turned ice-cold in an
instant. With a furious stomp of his feet, black lightning appeared to erupt from
his body in an instant.

Whoosh!

Whooshing sounds rang out as Mu Chen appeared to have transformed into a bolt of
lightning. In the next instant, appearing right before Lu Tian, he sent a palm
abruptly patting out.

Bang!

Lightning converged under Mu Chen’s palm. As it traveled, the air was pressed to
the point of exploded apart, with signs of distortion and warping even appearing in
the surrounding space.

Lu Tian was clearly vigilant towards Mu Chen. Therefore, upon this sudden assault,
not a single trace of fluster was shown by him. On the contrary, a sneer rang out
instead. “I’ve long heard about you, Mu Chen. I really want to see exactly how
capable you really are!”

Lu Tian sent a palm patting out. His palm sparkled with white light, before a
malevolent-looking gauntlet made of bones appeared in a flash. This white bone
gauntlet appeared to be covered with bone spikes, with their tips sparkling with a
dark light. Clearly, it was an exceedingly powerful Spiritual Artifact.
This Lu Tian truly was crafty, being able to even enact such a malevolent plan out
in such circumstances. At this moment, even Mu Chen was not able to pull his palm
back anymore.

If he was to forcefully pull his hand back, what would follow would be a fierce
attack coming from Lu Tian that would completely suppress him.

However, Lu Tian did not appear to notice the corner of Mu Chen’s mouth curling
slightly up when his bone gauntlet had appeared. In the next instant, a flash of
radiance sparkled form the latter’s palm, before an ancient stone seal appeared in
a flash.

This stone seal appeared to be in a dark green shadow, with ancient patterns carved
on its surface. Present on the stone seal was the carving of a stone tortoise.

As it appeared, frightening gravitational forces started to radiated, causing signs

of warping and distortions to appear in the surrounding space. As this happened,
even the Spiritual Energies present in the surroundings were forced to the point of
scattering away.

The originally chilling smile present on Lu Tian’s face instantly froze, with a
look of shock replacing it.

From the Spiritual Energy fluctuations, the stone seal that had appeared in Mu
Chen’s hand was unexpectedly a Divine Artifact?!

Chapter 570 - Black Tortoise Force Field

Bang!

As the dark-green stone seal appeared within Mu Chen’s palm in flash, it

immediately started expanding, instantly expanding to an approximately 1 metre big
size. Extremely powerful gravitational force started to radiate from it, causing
even warping and distortions to appear in the surrounding space as a result.

This stone seal was naturally the Quasi-Divine Item Mu Chen had obtained from the
Divine Wood Palace, the Black Tortoise Seal.

After going through a period of refinement, Mu Chen was clearly able to properly
activate it now.

Boom!

The stone seal within Mu Chen’s palm rotated, before accompanying Mu Chen’s palm as
it smashed against Lu Tian’s malevolent-looking white bone gauntlet without the
slightest bit of mercy.

Bang!

A low bang resounded as everyone saw an incomparably powerful shock wave wreaking
havoc as it traveled. The air within a few hundred metre radius instantly exploded
apart, while some unlucky fellows who were near to the point-of-origin were sent
flying back and spurting blood.

As the Spiritual Energies wreaked havoc, a fierce shutter shook through Lu Tian’s
body, only for him to shoot back in a miserable fashion. He took a dozen steps back
in the air, before finally stabilising himself. Despite that, his face had already
turned ashen.

Upon seeing this, the faces of the Captains on the same boat as Lu Tian
involutarily changed, their eyes brimming with shock as they looked towards Mu
Chen. Clearly, they felt somewhat inconceivable that Mu Chen was actually able to
gain an advantage in this first round of exchanging blows.

Stabilising himself, Lu Tian shot a dark look at the white bone gauntlet on his
hand. At this moment, some of malevolent-looking bone spikes present on it had
actually shattered apart. The dense white light around it had appeared somewhat
dimmer. Clearly, the previous collision of attacks had caused damage to it.

“So that’s why you dare to challenge Ji Xuan. So it turns that it’s due to you
having a Quasi-Divine Artifact in your hands, huh?” said Lu Tian as he chillingly
stared at Mu Chen, with ridicule and disdain present within within his tone.

“However, if you believe that you can contend against Ji Xuan just by relying on a
Quasi-Divine Artifact, I truly believe that you’re just a lunatic raving about his
mad dreams.”

With a calm gaze present in his eyes, Mu Chen extended his palm. As the Black
Tortoise Seal slowly revolved within his palm, he looked straight towards the
ashen-faced Lu Tian. With a faint smile, he said, “You really give off the vibe of
a henchman…”

“The goal I’ve come here for… is for the sake of breaking this henchman of Ji
Xuan.”

Hearing that, Lu Tian’s face started to slightly twitch. As he staring straight

towards Mu Chen, dense killing intent gushed from his eyes. In the next instant, a
chilling smile appeared on his face as he replied, “Since you’re seeking death, you
can’t blame me for it. I’ll capture you before tossing you right before Ji Xuan’s
face.”

“Take action!”
As his voice rang out, he gave an abrupt wave of his hand.

Seeing this signal, the hundreds of groups hovering in the air hesitated for a bit.
Finally, Spiritual Energies started to condense within their palms, before powerful
fluctuations started to radiate from them.

Bang!

As low rumbling noise made by Spiritual Energies gushed out, figures started to
abruptly shoot out, rushing straight towards Mu Chen like a swarm of locusts.
Fierce Spiritual Energy attacks enveloped Mu Chen akin to a rainstorm. Such a
formation was exceedingly astonishing.

Although these people might not have reached the First Grade Spirit Disaster, with
such numbers grouped together, such might would force even an expert in the First
Grade Spirit Disaster to retreat or evade.

Nevertheless, Mu Chen did not retreat at all. Hovering in the air, the Spiritual
Energy attacks heading towards him like a rainstorm started to be reflected within
his black pupils.

Behind him, Luo Li, Wen Qingxuan and the others did not take action, with the only
thing they did being quietly watching the scene unfolding before them.

Suddenly, a faint shuddering noise rang out from the Black Tortoise Seal in Mu
Chen’s hand. Hoisting his hand out, the Black Tortoise Seal instantly rushed
towards the sky. Dramatically expanding in size as it did so, it transformed into a
gigantic hundred-plus version if its former size.

Surfacing in the air, the Black Tortoise Seal appeared just like a mountain, being
unable to budge.

The Black Tortoise Seal came to a stop in the air above Mu Chen’s head, casting its
shadow down below. Faintly, one could discern a low tortoise’s roar as it furiously
resounded.

“Mysterious Tortoise Force Field!”

As the ancient tortoise’s roar resounded, a dim glowing green screen abruptly
descended from the stone seal. This glowing screen was approximately a hundred
metres in diametre, instantly enveloping the same radius around Mu Chen.

Bang! Bang!
Powerful Spiritual Energy attacks howled, before all of them smashed against the
dim glowing green screen. The spectacle that happened next was an especially
peculiar one. At the instant when those attacks struck the glowing screen, they
instantly cracked apart, shuttering like dying flames as they rapidly vanished
without a trace.

This peculiar scene instantly caused the faces of those who had taken action to
instantly contort, before shades of shock and astonishment flashed within his eyes.

“This is the might of a Quasi-Divine Artifact, huh…”

Seeing this, a shiver of shock had also flashed within the eyes of Mu Chen. After
acquiring the Black Tortoise Seal, this was the first time that he had truly
activated it. Thus, the might displayed by the Quasi-Divine Artifact caused him to
feel rather astonished.

The glowing screen seemed to act like a force field. Anything that tries to intrude
within its radius would get suppressed and crushed into bits by the force field.
Even Spiritual Energy was of no exception. This was the absolute combination of
offense and defense in one ability. With such a treasure, Mu Chen need not worry
just one bit about the encirclement from those people.

“Revolve!”

With a change of his hand seal, the Black Tortoise Seal started to revolve. In the
next instant, the gigantic dim glowing green screen proceeded to envelop over a few
groups.

Bang!

As the glowing halo came enveloping over, those bodies of those people that were
unable to evade abruptly froze, before terror and dread gushed from their eyes. In
the next instant, their faces rapidly turned red, appearing as if they were unable
to breath.

The bodies appeared to have a mountain pressing down on them, causing them to be
unable to revolve the Spiritual Energy present within their bodies.

Puff!

Puff!

Within the radius of the glowing halo, figures continued to spurt out successive
mouthfuls of blood, with their bodies flying akin to birds with their wings broken.
Dropping right out of the sky, all of them plopped completely into the yellow sands
below.
As the glowing halo swept out, dozens of people instantly dropped out of the sky,
causing a patch of emptiness to appear within the packed sky.

In an instant, an extremely ugly expression appeared on the face of Lu Tian, while

a shadow of astonishment flashed across his eyes. He never imagined that the
ancient and strange stone seal in Mu Chen’s hand would actually be that formidable.

Chi.

Sweeping his gaze, Mu Chen’s hand seal changed once more. In the next instant, the
Black Tortoise Seal revolved once again, before the glowing halo enveloped straight
over Lu Tian.

Bang!

Seeing this, Lu Tian’s face instantly changed. Giving a furious stomp of his feet,
Spiritual Energy completely blasted out from him, before he shot backwards like a
bolt of lightning, which just so happened to bring him out of the radius of the
glowing halo.

“There’s some flaws in its speed.”

Mu Chen muttered as he slightly nodded his head. Although the Black Tortoise Seal’s
force field was able to combine both offensive and defensive capabilities, it
didn’t possess a quick movement speed. When met against an opponent with extremely
quick speed, the latter would be able to flee from it.

Thinking about this, Mu Chen gave a laugh. With a thought, the dim green glowing
halo shot out once again towards Lu Tian.

Seeing this, the only thing Lu Tian could do was to retreat once again.

Mu Chen seemed to be planning on using Lu Tian to test out the capability of his
Black Tortoise Seal. At this moment, he had diligently focused on controlling the
Black Tortoise Seal. Therefore, despite some comical scenes appearing, the dim
green glowing halo continued to pursue behind Lu Tian’s back. Not daring to become
enveloped within its radius, the latter could only continue to evade in a somewhat
miserable fashion.

After suffering the big loss earlier, a few of Lu Tian’s compatriots did not dare
to take action again. Only at this moment did they understand why Mu Chen and his
group would suddenly appear to knock on Lu Tian’s doorsteps. The key factor was the
assurance of victory. After all, from the looks of the current situation, Wen
Qingxuan had not take action since that initial blow. When the time comes for both
parties to truly take action against each other, despite them having the numerical
superiority, they truly did not possess any confidence at all within their hearts…

“Mu Chen, is your only ability being to use your Divine Artifact to suppress
people?” After being forced to move about in a miserable fashion, Lu Tian’s face
grew increasingly ashen as he roared in a fierce voice.

“If you really possess true ability, you should use your true power to defeat me!”

With a clench of his hand, the Black Tortoise Seal rapidly strunk down, before
transforming into a ray of light that shot straight into Mu Chen’s palm. Raising
his head, he sent a faint smile towards Lu Tian before saying, “I know that you’re
using such ‘I’m not up to the standard’ remarks to provoke me. However, regardless
of what method I use, there won’t be much change to your final ending.”

“Let me see you try!”

“Technique of the White Bones, Divine White Bones Physique!”

With a malevolent laugh, Lu Tian took a fierce step forward. A greyish-white

radiance started to radiate from him. As this radiance started to congeal around
his body, it started to gradually transform into a thin-layered white bone armor.

As the white bone armor encased Lu Tian’s body, a chilling luster started to
suffuse on its surface. Faintly, extremely tyrannical energy fluctuations started
to radiate from him. Lu Tian appeared to have activated some sort of a body-
tempering technique.

The so-called “Divine White Bone Physique” was precisely what Lu Tian had obtained
from the Bone Sect and possessed extraordinary might. Regardless of defense or
offense, it was incomparably tyrannical. Lu Tian’s cultivation can be considered to
be at the Pinnacle First Grade Spirit Disaster, with him not yet passing through
the second level. However, by relying on this so-called “Divine White Bone
Physique”, he was able to engage in intense fights against experts at Second Grade
Spirit Disaster without suffering defeat.

Upon seeing this, the faces of the various groups alongside Lin Zhou’s who had been
encircled by Lu Tian’s gang all slightly changed. From the looks of it, they too
have heard about how tyrannical Lu Tian’s “Divine White Bone Physique” was.

“This is the Bone Sect’s Divine White Bone Physique?”

At this moment, Mu Chen had also raised his head, his black pupils focusing on Lu
Tian, who was now encased in white bones. In the next instant, an indifferent laugh
rang from him, before he slowly clenched his hands, only for black lightning to
immediately gush from his body.
Low rumbles of thunder resounded across the entire region upon the appearance of
that black lightning.

The black lightning bolts appeared to form lightning patterns on the surface of Mu
Chen’s body as they quietly congealed together.

Clearly, Mu Chen was extremely interested in testing exactly which one was
stronger, the Bone’s Sect’s Divine White Bone Physique, or his Lightning God’s
Physique.

Chapter 571 - Lightning God’s Technique VS Divine White Bone Physique

Bang Rumble.

The low rumbles of thunder resounded across the reddish yellow desert, causing even
the azure blue sky to seemingly turn dim.

Standing in the air, black lightning bolts sparkled crazily across his body. As the
black lightning bolt rippled out in halos, they caused the surrounding space to
warp and distort.

As of now, Mu Chen’s Lightning God's Physique, had already been cultivated to the
level of Hexa Rune Lightning Physique. It’s said that when one’s Lightning God's
Physique reaches the Ennea Rune Lightning Physique, one’s physique would be able to
rival that of a Sovereign realm expert.

If was able to reach that level, a casual punch from Mu Chen would be truly able to
shatter space apart. With a wave of his palm, he would be able to wipe out
mountains, showing how exceedingly powerful it was.

While Mu Chen was activating his Lightning God's Physique in complete effect, Lu
Tian swept his gloomy gaze over from the skies above. Looking at the lightning
sparkling across Mu Chen’s body, the corner of his eyes started twitching slightly.

Clearly, he could sense how tyrannical Mu Chen’s physique was.

“I don’t believe that your physique’s even stronger than my Divine White Bone
Physique!”

Lu Tian roared out as a gloomy shade filled his eyes. With the entire situation
already progressed to this stage, he naturally could no longer under estimate Mu
Chen anymore. However, he was similarly extremely confident in his Divine White
Bone Physique. This was due to him having crossed hands with Ji Xuan before.
Although it had result in his defeat in the end, the strength of his Divine White
Bone Physique had caused even Ji Xuan to feel shocked and astonished. This point
was more than sufficient for Lu Tian to feel proud about himself.

Therefore, faced against Mu Chen now, he did not feel any dread or fear.

The chilling white spiritual glow continued to radiate out from Lu Tian’s body.
Bones white to the point of causing people’s hearts to palpitate appeared to have
grown out from Lu Tian’s body. Forming a dense bony armor, it encased Lu Tian’s
body within, appearing to have to be indestructible.

Under the white bones, a sinister looking gaze shout out. With a furious stomp, the
space below his feet rippled, before his figure instantly disappeared.

“Such a quick speed!”

Upon seeing this, the faces of Lin Zhou, Xu Huang and rest involuntarily changed.
Lu Tian’s speed was such that they were seemingly unable to observe him with their
bare hands, with them only being faintly able to discern slight traces of Spiritual
Energy fluctuations.

Due to them being unable to chase up to Lu Tian’s figure with their eyes, their
gazes instantly turned towards Mu Chen. After all, regardless of how fast Lu Tian
was, his goal would always be to attack Mu Chen.

Whoosh!

Just as their gazes locked on to Mu Chen, they noticed ripples appearing in the
space behind Mu Chen. In the next instant, a figure glowing with white light
appeared in a flash. Bringing along a frightening force, the white bone encased
fist rumbled heavily towards Mu Chen’s back without the slightest bit of mercy.

Such a speed was akin to that of lightning.

Bang!

THe white bone fist pierced right through Mu Chen’s body. However, despite that,
there was not a single trace of blood spurting out.

“A remnant shade?”

A faint smile appeared on Lu Tian before swinging his right leg towards the back of
Mu Chen in a whip like fashion. Chilling white Spiritual Energy appeared to form
into a gigantic Spiritual Energy gale, chopping down furiously like a battle axe.
Bang!

A palm suffused with lightning patted out heavily from behind, slamming straight
against the white bony leg.

Boom!

A loud bang rang out,as energy ripples visibles to the naked eye rippled out,
causing the space to split apart. Unable to endure the impact from the collision,
the air present in the surroundings exploded apart, sending shockwaves surging out.

A faint shutter shook through the two people. However, in the next instant, both of
them shot out in spectre like fashion.

Lightning and white brilliance erupted in the air. However, what’s peculiar was
that everyone was unable to notice their figures, with them only being able to see
the two clumps of brilliance smashing against each other time and time after again.
Every single time they collided, frightening energy shockwaves would sweep out,
causing berserk sandstorms to swirl up from the desert below.

“Indeed, that Lu Tian possessed some ability, to be able to contend with Mu Chen
with his physique.” said Xu Huang and the others as their faces grew solemn. They
were extremely clear how strong Mu Chen’s physique was. However, from the looks of
it, Lu Tian was unexpected able to not be in a disadvantage when contending against
Mu Chen on this aspect. From this, one could tell how powerful the latter was.

“The Bone Sect is similarly a powerful regional influence within the shattered
continent in the ancient antiquity. Their inheritance, the Divine White Bone
Physique’s naturally not weak.”

Wen Qingxuan spoke out. “It’s said that this Lu Tian had crossed hands with Ji
Xuan. Despite his eventual loss, by relying on his Divine White Bone Physique, he
was able to cause some trouble for Ji Xuan. If not, the latter would not hold the
former that strongly in regard and allow the former to join the latter’s alliance.”

“Furthermore, Ji Xuan’s Spiritual Energy is stronger than Mu Chen’s by a notch.

Although he has yet to breakthrough to Second Grade Spirit Disaster, by relying on
the strength of his physique, he’s able to put up a fight even against experts of
Second Grade Spirit Disaster.” said Luo Li with a faint smile.

“That strong?”

Shock and astonishment appeared on the faces of Xu Huang and the rest. As of now in
the Great Spiritual Academy Tournament, although the strength of various groups
have all been increasing at an astonishing rate, there were still extremely few
people that have managed to breakthrough to Second Grade Spirit Disaster. These
people possessed absolute qualifications to enter the final match. From the looks
of it, this Lu Tian’s unexpectedly able to possess the strength to contend against
those at Second Grade Spirit Disaster, clearly more than sufficient to show his
might.

Wen Qingxuan and Luo Li nodded towards one another, before raising their slender
and snow white necks, casting their beautiful eyes towards the extremely intense
fight happening in the air. Both of the knew that although Mu Chen can be said to
be crossing hands with Lu Tian, truthfully, this could also be said as another way
he was employing to pit himself against Ji Xuan.

Lu Tian had already suffered defeat in Ji Xuan’s hands, before being subdued by the
latter. On the other hand, although Mu had no interest in subduing Lu Tian, he had
all the interest in the worlds to forcefully break the high place Ji Xuan had in Lu
Tian’s heart.

Bang!

Yet another gigantic bag rang out in the skies, a frightening energy shockwaves
rushed out under of the gazes of everyone present. Two glowing figures abruptly
shot out, retreating a dozen steps in the air, with every step they take causing
the air below to shutter and explode apart.

Everyone’s gaze instantly turned over towards them.

In the air, two figures surfaced from within the dazzling brilliance.

At this moment, charred patches were scattered around the white bone encased body
of Lu Tian. Clearly, those were injuries brought about by the berserk Black Divine
Lightning coming from Mu Chen in their earlier head on confrontation.

Comparatively, Mu Chen appeared to be somewhat in a better state. With the black

lightning encasing his body, it had result his body becoming as strong and
resilient as metal. Although there were white scratches present on his skin, all of
these couldn’t even be counted as anything in the presence of Mu Chen’s tyrannical
physique.

The previous crossing of hands which had causing people’s scalps to turn numb had
unexpectedly not causing any significant injuries for the both of them.

This scene caused the corner of quite a few people’s eyes to twitch. Aren’t the
physique of these two fellows too overpowered…

“Quite a powerful physique.”

Lightning flowed around the surface of Mu Chen’s body as he stared at Lu Tian in

the air, his eyes sparkling with the same lightning radiance. Every since the start
of the Great Spiritual Academy Tournament, the person before his eyes, Lu Tian,
might just be the strongest fellow he had met so far.

“From your expression, could it be that you believe that you’ve already gotten the
advantage?” said Lu Tian with a sneer. In the next instant, chilling white radiance
circulated around his body, before the charred clumps rapidly dissipated away.

The white bones around his body shone in a luster brimming with power once again.

“However, you being able to train your physique to such a degree have exceeded my
expectations. However, I’m very sorry to inform you that there’s still quite a big
disparity between you and Ji Xuan!”

With a cold sneer, Lu Tian shot words of ridiculement out. Despite that, what he
had thought was different from the words he had spoken. That’s due to him knowing
how hard it was to train and temper one’s physique. If not for that bone pond
present within the remnant of the Bone Sect, he might not have been able to
cultivate his Divine White Bone Physique to such a level. He had originally assumed
that there won’t be many people within the Great Spiritual Academy Tournament that
would be a comparable physique to him. However, who would have expected that person
before his eyes, Mu Chen would possess one that wasn’t weaker than his own.

Being able to be heavily regarded Ji Xuan, this fellow indeed possess some ability.

Hearing that. Mu Chen gave a faint laugh in response, before replying in a voice
that appeared to be accompanied by the roars of thunder. “Activate your Divine
White Bone Physique to the limits. Otherwise, your arrogance won’t last much
longer.”

Hearing that, a chilling expression appeared on Lu Tian’s face as he stared at Mu

Chen. However, upon seeing the calm, exceedingly abstruse black pupils of his that
appeared to have not the slightest traces of ripples, for some unknown reason, he
felt a chill surface within his heart.

This chill caused Lu Tian to sink into silence for a while. Extending his hands out
slowly, his eyes staring chillingly at Mu Chen, before abruptly changing his hand
seal. As his hand seal changed, the white bones on the surface of his body started
to slowly radiate with a gem like luster, just like sparkling diamonds. However,
everyone could sense that the might of Lu Tian’s physique had risen once again.

“Your tone’s quite arrogant. I’ve already cultivated my White Bones Divine Physique
to the point of transforming bone into jade. When I cross hands with Ji Xuan some
time ago, although I lost in the end, he was unable to break my White Bones Divine
Physique. As for now, what about you?” the increase in power erupting out from his
physique causing the chill within Lu Tian’s heart to rapidly dissipate away, while
his voice become gloomy and sinister once again.

Lightning flowed within Mu Chen’s black pupils, with not a single trace of any
emotion seemingly present within. Slowly clenching his hands, roars of thunder akin
to those of a furious dragon erupted out from his body.
Bang! Rumble! Rumble!

The roars of thunder grew increasingly loud, before resounding across the entire
region, causing even the hurricanes wreaking havoc within the desert to become
suppressed by them.

The skies started to grow dim.

Crackle.

Due to the spectacle unfolding before him, Lu Tian narrowed his eyes slightly. In
the next instant, as a chilling glint flashed within his eyes, a dazzling splendor
erupted furiously from his jade like body.

Whoosh!

Akin to a jade coloured ray of light, his figure shot across the horizon, hurtling
straight at Mu Chen. Clearly, he could sense some threat from the latter. Thus, he
did not want to allow Mu Chen to successfully activate his strength to his maximum
capability.

“White Bones Divine Physique, Jade Bones Divine Fist!”

A loud roar resounded from Lu Tian, before his figure appeared right before Mu Chen
seemingly in an instant, before a jade like fist rumbled heavily out.

Bang!

The surrounding space started to ripple, while all of the air in a hundred metre
radius exploded apart. Gigantic fissures started to appear on the desert below,
before rapidly expanding out.

Dumbfounded shock and terror immediately gushed out of the eyes of countless
people.

They turned their gazes towards Mu Chen, only to see that the black lightning bolts
that were sparkling crazily on the surface of his body had rapidly retracted within
his body. Such a scene appeared as though he had been suppressed.

“That’s not right!”

However, there were some people who were quick to discuss that something wasn’t
quite right. That’s because the saw that as those lightning bolts retracted within
Mu Chen’s body, lightning like patterns had suddenly appeared on his arm, before
rapidly extending out.

Within a short instant, seemingly half of Mu Chen’s body had already been covered
by the lightning patterns that were sparkling with a black radiance.

This scene gave somewhat of a malevolent flavor.

While the glowing lightning patterns had covered half of Mu Chen’s body, lightning
finally erupted out from his jet black eyes, appearing just like the awakening of a
lightning dragon.

Bang!

The arm covered in black lightning patterns started to move at a slow, yet
unavoidable speed as it sent an attack out.

Boom!

In the next instant, the lightning fist and the jade bone fist smashed heavily into
each other.

At the instant of the collision, Lu Tian noticed faint twitching at the corner of
Mu Chen’s mouth, before an indifferent voice that caused his entire body to turn
cold started to slowly ring out.

“Since Ji Xuan’s unable to break your White Bones Divine Physique, I’ll be the one
to break it.”

Chapter 572 - Great Harvest

Boom!

In this instant, bright and resplendent lightning accompanied by astonishing peals

of thunder resounded across the horizon. Akin to giant pythons, bolts of lightning
wreaked havoc crazily around as they blanketed the surrounding skies.

A myriad of lightning bolts surged around under the dim skies, causing a
exceedingly terrifying spectacle for everyone around.

Figures retreated in miserable fashion on the desert below. At this moment,

everyone’s ears were filled with the peals of thunder, with some unfortunate people
having flood starting to flow out from their ears. Clearly, they were injured by
the roars of the thunder ringing out from the skies.
Below the epicentre of the collision, the desert had collapsed down, with gigantic
fissures extending out like a spiderweb, while sand flowed down within like
waterfalls.

After evading the lightning roars, everyone raised their heads to look towards the
origin where they had raidated out from.

Signs of warping and distortions had appeared space surrounding there, appearing to
have formed an entire stretch of empty space, with the air a hundred metres in
radius around having completely exploded apart.

In the empty space, two figures still maintained their stance, their fists pointed
against each other, while their frozen bodies appeared statuesque.

The frightening energies that have been gushing out from the two people had
completely dissipated away quietly. The only movement present on them was the
gentle breeze blowing at their robes, causing them to flutter slightly.

Every sound within the region had turned quiet, as every single gaze latched on
tightly towards the the two figures present there.

Under the attentive gazes of everyone in the surroundings, a faint shudder shook
through Mu Chen’s body, before the lightning originally sparkling within his black
pupils completely vanished away.

Looking calmly towards Lu Tian standing right before him, he proceeded to slowly
release his clenched fist. As his finger quivered slightly, he gave a gentle flick
towards the layers of jade like bones covering the surface of the latter’s body.

Crack!

This appeared to be a gentle flick that possessed not even one bit of power behind
it. However, it had brought about astonished and shocked responses in the people
around. Following a minute cracking sound ringing out, everyone’s eyes hastily
contracted as cracks suddenly started to extend out from the surface of the jade
like bones.

Crack! Crack!

The minute sounds grew in frequency. As their gazes shot over, they saw dense
cracks have unexpectedly appeared quietly on the bright jade like bones encasing Lu
Tian’s body.

At astonishing speeds, the cracks extended out, completely covering every spot of
the jade like bones in a short span of a few breaths.
At this moment, Mu Chen slowly lowered his fist. As he did so, the faint trace of
blood surfaced on his finger tip. Shooting an indifferent glance over, he gave it a
light rub to clean it off.

Bang!

Suddenly, the bright jade like bones on the surface of Lu Tian’s body shattered
apart. As the jade like bone fragments shot out, Lu Tian’s originally frozen body
appeared to have suffered a strike by lightning as he abruptly shot backwards.

Bang! Bang!

As Lu Tian’s body flew out, clumps of blood mist spurted crazily one after another
from his mouth. In the short span of a few breaths, everyone could feel the
Spiritual Energy fluctuations radiating out from the former started to decrease at
an astonishing rate.

Puff!

Yet another mouthful of blood spurted out from him. Finally, being unable to endure
any much longer, Lu Tian dropped straight down from the skies, before burrowing
head first into the sand below under the terrified and dumbfounded gazes of
everyone around. As blood clumped up the sand as it landed on the desert surface,
Lu Tian gave of an exceedingly miserable sight.

As Lu Tian’s body drilled deeply into the sand, the wind devastated deserted turned
deathly silent once again. Regardless of the various groups that had gathered
around Lu Tian, or those groups like Lin Zhou who were encircled by them, at this
moment, all of them were at a loss for words.

The suppressive feeling coming from Lu Tian was truthfully too heavy for them.
Therefore, upon seeing this person, who was standing high up in the sky, collapse
with such a loud rumble, the shock surging out within them was truly quite huge.

“He’s won.” happiness erupted from the faces of Xu Huang and the others, while
their tense hearts started to relax.

Noticing this, Luo Li and Wen Qingxuan both gave a smile without much of any other
expression. Clearly, they did not feel much of a surprise with Mu Chen being able
to defeat Lu Tian.

The lightning patterns sparkling on the surface of Mu Chen’s body had already
completely disappeared away. Shooting down, he landed on the sands below, before
appearing right by the exceedingly miserable looking Lu Tian.
At this moment, the latter was covered with blood as he continued to gasp painfully
for air. Clearly, he had suffered heavy injuries from the confrontation earlier.

As blood flowed out from Lu Tian’s mouth, he stared right at Mu Chen’s with his
eyes wide open, brimming with inconceivable feelings. He’s White Bones Divine
Physique was unexpectedly defeated by Mu Chen using the strength of his own body…

This was something that Ji Xuan was unable to accomplish them.

“Looks like your White Bones Divine Physique isn’t as strong as you’ve thought.”
said Mu Chen faintly as he stared at Lu Tian.

Shooting a vicious glare at Mu Chen, gloominess and malevolence still remained

within Lu Tian’s eyes. Cracking his mouth open to give a chilling laugh, he spoke
out. “Mu Chen, you’re formidable. This time, I’ve indeed made an error in
judgement. However, so what if you’ve defeated me! Even you will be hard pressed to
imagine how strong Ji Xuan is now! Being treated as his enemy will be the most
sorrowful thing you’ll ever experience in your life!”

“You still never forget to be a good henchman even at such a time.”

Mu Chen spoke out with a laugh, before squatting down. Looking calmly towards Lu
Tian, he replied in a slow manner. “I’ve never treated defeating you as anything
big. In the future, you’ll see the showdown between me and him, am I right?”

Mu Chen’s voice appeared exceedingly calm, with not so much as a fluctuation

present within. However, when Lu Tian stared at him, he was unable to say any
ridiculing remarks back. That’s because he could feel as though there was a lion
hiding within the depths of the calm black eyes of the youth before him, causing
his heart to palpitate in fear.

With a clench of his hand, a ray of brilliance shot out from Lu Tian’s bosom,
before landing within his palm. This was precisely the Academy Plaque of Lu Tian’s
group.

The quantity of points present on it had reach a high number of 20 thousand.

“You!” seeing this, Lu Tian’s face instantly contorted.

“Spoils of war.” replied Mu Chen with a faint smile.

Flicking his hand, yet another Academy Plaque appeared in a flash. After
transferring half of the points that Lu Tian’s Academy Plaque has, the points on
his group’s Academy Plaque had risen to approximately 13 thousand.

This was a quantity that Mu Chen and his group had never reached before. However,
at this moment, it wasn’t even enough to catapult them into the top 16 rankings.

Mu Chen tossed Lu Tian’s Academy Plaque back. Seeing this, the latter clenched his
teeth, with his gaze appearing to contain some hatred and resentment.

Whoosh!

Luo Li, Wen Qingxuan, Xu Huang and the rest of the groups had shot over at this
moment. As Wen Qingxuan walked close, she gently fluttered her gaze towards the
numerous groups in the air that had launched attacks at Mu Chen earlier, before
speaking out, “How to deal with those fellows?”

Toying with the Academy Plaque in his hand, a chilling shade flashed through Mu
Chen’s eyes, before he replied. “Since they had taken action, they naturally have
to pay some price. Having followed Lu Tian for the past few days to snatch points
from quite a few people, they had only themselves to blame for such a result.”

Hearing that, Xu Huang was instantly shocked as he spoke out. “There’s at least a
hundred groups present her. If we are to take action against them, I’m afraid that
will be some trouble in doing so.”

In the air, the numerous groups that had taken action against Mu Chen seemed to
have discovered the gaze filled with ill intent shooting out from the latter,
causing a chill to run through their hearts. They proceeded to quietly gather close
to one another. WIth so many groups converged together, no matter how formidable
that Mu Chen was, he shouldn’t dare to anger the masses, right?

Clearly, Mu Chen had also sensed their actions, causing a ridiculing smile to curl
up at the corner of his mouth, before turning to look at Lin Zhou and his group.

Noticing Mu Chen gaze shooting towards him, Lin Zhou immediately gawked, before his
eyes started to sparkle. He had immediately picked up on Mu Chen’s plan. This
resulted a chilling smile cracking open from his mouth as he nodded his head.

“Everyone, those bastards had snatched our points so happily just moments ago! Now,
we can’t just let them go like that, am I right?” leaping up, Lin Zhou stared at
the dozens of groups that were encircled by Lu Tian and his gang earlier before
roaring out in a fierce voice.

Hearing his roar, the dozens of groups became restless, while anger and hatred
surfaced within their eyes. Nevertheless, with their disadvantage in numbers, they
did not dare to carelessly take action.

“Everyone, an eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth. That’s the basic rule for the
heavens and earth. If there’s anyone that doesn’t accept that, I’ll help you.” said
Mu Chen with a faint smile on his face.
“You’re vicious, Mu Chen!” some people roared out.

However, as those people roared out in anger, rays of brilliance had already
erupted from the eyes of the dozens of groups that were encircled earlier. With a
furious clench of their teeth, they rose in to the skies, forming an encircling
formation, trapping the hundreds of groups within.

“You dare!”

Seeing this, the hundreds of groups instantly roared out in fury. Those groups that
they had encircled earlier had actually dared to take action against them.

Hmph!

However, as their roars rang out,
erupted out, only for everyone to
her hand as she stood in the air.
eyes, those groups under her gaze
fill up with terror and dread.”
a cold snort followed suit, before golden light
see Wen Qingxuan holding her golden war spear in
As a chilling gaze swept out from her beautiful
started to shiver, while their eyes started to

“Hand over your points obediently, and I’ll remain courteous. If any of you
continue to remain stupid and pigheaded, I’ll make sure that you’ll not be able to
participate in the next Great Spiritual Academy Tournament.” Wen Qingxuan’s sweet
sounding voice rang out, yet the icy cold intent present within causing the hearts
of quite a few people to shudder in fright.

“Take action!”

Seeing this, Lin Zhou gave a loud roar, taking the lead as he shot out.

“Take out points back from them!” behind him, the dozens of groups shot out in
succession as their roars resounded out.

Instantly, the surrounding skies became chaotic. Although the hundreds of groups
had the numerical advantage, their morale had seemingly collapsed completely. Added
with Mu Chen, Wen Qingxuan and the others shooting out covetous gazes from the
side, they were utterly defeated in a moments worth of time, all of them suffering
miserable defeat. The few that attempted to fellow were all forced back by Luo Li.

Therefore, within a short span of ten minutes, the hundreds of groups were
completely defeated, with figures dropping down in miserable fashion, before being
forced to hand over their Academy Plaques.

Stepping out, Lin Zhou collected all of the Academy Plaques, before carrying them
and walking towards Mu Chen. Handing all of them over the latter, a smile cracked
open from his mouth as he said, “Although I know Brother Mu’s character, the rules
are the rules. Only you can take the majority of these points.

Looking at the hundreds of Academy Plaques present before him, Mu Chen could not
help but to gawk out.

Chapter 573 - Targeted

The hundreds of Academy Plaques placed before his eyes truly possessed a slight
shock factor. Even with Mu Chen’s character, the scene before his eyes caused him
to slightly gawk.

Mu Chen stared at the Academy Plaques. If he was able to obtain all of those
points, his group should have enough points to catapult themselves into the Top 8 …

Beside him, the eyes of Xu Huang and the others turned scorching hot, similarly
showing their shock due to the presence of so many Academy Plaques.

Standing by his side, Luo Li didn’t say a word, while Wen Qingxuan crossed her
jade-like hands before her chest as she cast her beautiful eyes towards Mu Chen.

Behind Lin Zhou’s back, the dozens of groups were also staring at Mu Chen,
complicated feelings filled their eyes. However, they did not make any noise in the
end. That’s because they knew that if not for Mu Chen appearing here today, they
would be hard-pressed to escape the calamity they were in earlier.

According to the rules, Mu Chen would absolutely obtain the majority of the spoils
of war. As for them, being able to obtain the bits that trickle down would in fact
be an exceedingly good deal by itself.

Hu.

Under the glare of everyone present, Mu Chen continued staring at the Academy
Plaques as he deeply pondered for a bit. Finally, a smile appeared on his handsome
face. This smile was entirely different from the dark and sinister one that Lu Tian
wore earlier, being able to cause warmth to appear in the hearts of people.

It had to be said that the smiling Mu Chen possessed quite some charm, shown by the
gradually relaxed expressions on the faces of the groups behind Lin Zhou.

“Captain Lin Zhou, you’ve truly given me a hard problem to solve,” said Mu Chen as
he looked towards Lin Zhou.

Hearing that, the latter gawked, before scratching his head and replying, “You
don’t need to worry about it. In fact, matters like weak groups being eliminated by
powerful groups are too much of a common thing in the Great Spiritual Academy
Tournament. There’s no one that would say anything about it.”
“Of the points here, I’ll take a one portion, with Wen Qingxuan and her group
taking another. As for the last portion, you can distribute it among everyone here.
After all, these points are your spoils of war,” replied Mu Chen within a smile.

Hearing Mu Chen’s reply, Lin Zhou and the rest immediately gawked while blankly
staring at Mu Chen as they felt slightly inconceivable towards the former’s
decision. After all, they had collaborated with some powerful groups before.
However, those so-called “collaborations” were in fact those powerful groups
wanting to utilise them as cannon fodder or meat shields. Furthermore, when it came
to the distribution of points, the powerful teams would seemly seize half or more
of them. Only the rest would be distributed to the groups that were in
collaboration with them.

Therefore, when Mu Chen had only taken a taken portion, all of them seemed to be
slightly unable to believe what they just heard.

“Don’t look at me like that. I’ve not gotten to the stage where points don’t
matter. On the contrary, I rather love snatching points from them as opposite to
those weaker ones.” replied Mu Chen with a faint smile as he pointed towards the Lu
Tian who was buried in the sand.

Exchanging glances with each other, a slightly unconcealable look of gratitude

emerged from the eyes of Lin Zhou and the others after deeply pondering for quite a
while. Their groups weren’t strong or weak, causing them to feel extremely awkward
in the current situation of the Great Spiritual Academy Tournament. Generally
speaking, upon reaching such a stage, they would seemingly become point banks in
the eyes of those powerful groups. Such a status could be considered as low and
pitiful. Therefore, Mu Chen giving them such an extremely large choice was a first
for them.

That’s because all of them knew what Mu Chen was giving them wasn’t just a choice,
but respect, too.

“Thank you, Captain Mu Chen.” the groups standing behind Lin Zhou cupped their
hands towards Mu Chen as they said their thanks in deep voices.

The dozens of group captains cupped their hands towards Mu Chen while saying their
thanks, with gratitude present within their eyes. During this period of time, their
emotions were truthfully not quite good. Could anyone’s honor not be hurt by being
exploited by powerful groups one after another before having their points snatched
away from them?

Mu Chen was somewhat stunned and amazed by their responses. Giving an awkward
laugh, he turned his gaze towards Wen Qingxuan before saying, “Take two portions of
the points. I’ve said before that I’ll try my best to let you regain your Numero
Uno place again.”
Panning her head to shoot a look at Mu Chen, Wen Qingxuan raised her red lips
before replying in a low voice, “I never knew that Captain Mu Chen also knows quite
a good move to buy the hearts of people.”

Unable to tell whether Wen Qingxuan had any intent of ridiculing him with her
reply, Mu Chen wrinkled his forehead as he said, “That’s not my intention. I purely
dislike doing something like that.”

“Okay, okay. I never said that you were like that.”

Wen Qingxuan replied with a faint smile, with her voice unexpectedly turning
somewhat gentle. Looking deeply at Mu Chen with her beautiful eyes, she said, “If
you had truly devoured all of those points, I would have become slightly
disappointed in you, although this truly is no concern of whether it's right or
wrong. I know that power is the say in this place, and that there’s no one that’s
able to criticise or find fault with what you do. Nevertheless, if you’re unable to
even resist such a temptation, I’d truly be unable to believe that you’d be able to
walk far in the path ahead of you.”

Shooting a look at Luo Li, she said in a profound manner, “If you’re unable to walk
that far, don’t destroy such a lustrous girl as her.”

“Everyone has their own interpretations of the truth. However, it seems as if

you’re praising me,” replied Mu Chen as he rubbed his nose. Truthfully speaking,
his thoughts were extremely simple, as he did not want to use such a way to obtain
points. That’s because he knew that this wasn’t the original intent of the creation
of this Great Spiritual Academy Tournament. The groups that relied on the weak
groups to obtain a large quantity of points would not be able to truly stand at the
peak at the end.

“Your skin’s quite thick, huh,” said Wen Qingxuan as she rolled her eyes towards Mu
Chen. The gentleness that was present within her voice was instantly gone, and she
regained her arrogant, phoenix-like appearance once again.

As she spoke those words, Wen Qingxuan waved her jade-like hand, before taking out
two portions of the points present on the Academy Plaques. As the thick brilliance
rose up, the points on her Academy Plaque drastically rose by 20,000 points,
inching closer towards the Numero Uno, Ji Xuan.

After taking those points, Wen Qingxuan tossed the Academy Plaques towards Lin Zhou
and the others, who hastily took over and distributed the remaining points.

After a moment of chaos, order was regained in the surrounding area, while the
gazes shooting towards Mu Chen were filled with gratitude.

“Brother Mu Chen, there’s no words that can describe our thanks for this great
kindness. All of us will remember your kindness,” said Lin Zhou as he slightly bent
his waist. Without saying anymore roundabout words, he waved his hands, before
turning around and leaving. After expressing their gratitude to Mu Chen once more,
the other groups had also started to leave.

Seeing their leaving figures, a faint smile appeared on Mu Chen’s face.

“What about that fellow? From the looks of it, he seems to not have any good
feelings towards you,” said Wen Qingxuan as she pointed her slender finger towards
Lu Tian. At this moment, the latter appeared to have clenched his teeth, clearly
possessing an extreme amount of hatred towards Mu Chen.

Upon hearing that, Mu Chen’s eyes slightly narrowed. A person of such strength as
Lu Tian was considered somewhat of a threat towards him and his group. If he was to
let the latter go so easily, upon regaining his stride, the latter would definitely
cause some trouble for him and his group.

“Mu Chen, you’ve already taken away my points! What else do you want? Could it be
that you want to kill me?”

“I won’t go as far as to kill you,” replied Mu Chen with a laugh. As his eyes
sparkled, faint black light suddenly surfaced within his palm, with an extremely
strange and mysterious power present within it.

This was the power of sealing that came from the page of the “Undying Blueprint”
present within his body.

Mu Chen pressed his palm onto Lu Tian’s chest, causing the sealing power to rapidly
drill within the latter’s body. In the next instant, Lu Tian discovered to his
horror that the Spiritual Energy within his body had unexpectedly started to
decline at an astonishing speed.

Within the short span of a few breaths, Lu Tian, who was already heavily injured,
had his strength decrease to roughly the realm of Human Body Disaster, while the
Spiritual Energy fluctuations radiating from his body were being supressed to the
extremity.

“What-what have you done to me?!” Lu Tian was finally terrified. That’s because he
could feel that the Spiritual Energy within his body appeared to have been
suppressed, causing him to unexpectedly be unable to circulate it at will.

As he probed with his mind, he discovered black rays of brilliance sparkling within
the meridians of his body. It was precisely those strange and mysterious black
lights that had caused him to lose the absolute control he had over the Spiritual
Energy within his body.

“I’ve only temporarily sealed your Spiritual Energy, that’s all.”

With Lu Tian’s current state, wanting to dispel the sealing force within him would
take a month, at the very least. During that time frame, the Great Spiritual
Academy Tournament would have already reached its conclusion.

Lu Tian’s face lost all colour, with his eyes brimming with unbridled anger and
fury.

Nevertheless, Mu Chen did not continue caring about him as he calmly turned his
body around. Looking towards Luo Li, Wen Qingxuan and the rest, he said, “Let’s go.
We should find the next target now.”

As his voice rang out, his figure started to rise to the sky, with Luo Li and the
rest following suit, leaving being an exceedingly miserable Lu Tian roaring in fury
and anger…

The matter of Lu Tian’s group suddenly dropping out of the Top 16 had caused quite
the big ripples within the vast central region. After all, within this place, Lu
Tian was still considered to be a rather famous expert. Who would have expected
that his defeat would happen so quickly? As people took in this set of news, all of
them could not help sighing and lament. There were truly crouching tigers and
hidden dragons within this Great Spiritual Academy Tournament.

On the top of a green mountain peak.

Looking at the Academy Plaque, faint wrinkles started to appear on Ji Xuan’s

forehead.

“Lu Tian’s been defeated,” said Mu Feng, who was standing behind him. “Could it be
that there are people wanting to deal with us?”

“There’re crouching tigers and hidden dragons in this place. With him being too
rampant, Lu Tian’s defeat was inevitable.” On the contrary, Ji Xuan did not appear
so overly concerned. After all, rising and falling with the current phase of the
Great Spiritual Academy Tournament was all too common.

Hearing that, Mu Feng nodded his head, without adding anymore words.

Clearly, the two of them had not placed such a common matter so heavily within
their hearts.

However, their current frame of mind only lasted for a day, before being abruptly
broken. At that moment, even with Ji Xuan’s state of mind, his face had started to
turn dark.

That’s because they had heard yet another shocking piece of news on the second day
that was circulating around the vast central region.
It was from the Myriad Beasts Spiritual Academy. The group led by Wang Jiang that
had obtained the inheritance of the Demonic Alligator Palace had similarly been
defeated, with the person doing so being known as Mu Chen.

On the mountain peak, Mu Feng looked towards the dark-faced Ji Xuan. At this
moment, they could clearly feel the feeling of being aimed at. That Mu Chen had
already started to launch a challenge towards Ji Xuan.

Chapter 574 - Approaching Storm

As time had elapsed to this phase, the Great Spiritual Academy Tournament had
already entered its final period of the contention for hegemony. More and more
powerful groups continued to emerge, before continuing to constantly change the Top
16 with new names.

Therefore, under the premise of such large changes, other than the few groups that
truly possessed astonishing strength, the other groups all felt alarmed, anxious
and afraid that there would be a powerful group emerging and defeating them at any
moment, before standing on their heads and spreading their fame and reputation
across the entire competition.

Even under such a period of great change, the defeat of Lu Tian and Wang Jiang, the
originally 10th place and 8th place respectively, had still caused quite the big
ripples in the Great Spiritual Academy Tournament.

That was due to the similarity in the group that had led to the defeat of the these
two powerful groups, which was precisely the one from the Northern Heavens
Spiritual Academy that had Mu Chen as their captain.

Furthermore, those people with more informed sources knew about an additional piece
of information, which was that Lu Tian and Wang Jiang were both part of Ji Xuan’s
alliance… as for Mu Chen, he didn’t find anyone else, but had specifically targeted
those groups that were in an alliance with Ji Xuan. The intent of targeting the
latter was already clear and obvious.

Such targeting caused quite a few people to feel amazed and stunned. As of now, Ji
Xuan’s fame and reputation was too extensive and widespread within the Great
Spiritual Academy Tournament. This heaven-gifted son of the Spiritual Road was
still as dazzling as the sun, even in a place like this, where numerous geniuses
were present, causing people be only able to look up to him.

Quite a few powerful groups had all suffered defeat in the hands of Ji Xuan and the
group he led, successfully becoming his stepping stones to reach greater heights.
Therefore, in the current phase of the Great Spiritual Academy Tournament, the
number of groups that were able to send a challenge towards Ji Xuan and his group
might not even exceed one hand.

It was also this reason that caused everyone to feel that stunned and amazed upon
hearing that Mu Chen had actually dared to target Ji Xuan at this current phase of
time. After all, regardless of anything, there was a clear, hard-to-surmount
disparity between Mu Chen’s fame and reputation, when compared to Ji Xuan.

Therefore, everyone was waiting for the response of Ji Xuan towards such targeting
by Mu Chen.

However, what made many people astonished was that after Lu Tian and Wang Jiang’s
groups were defeated, Ji Xuan had unexpectedly not made any retaliatory actions.
Such feelings appeared as if he had forgotten about the focus Mu Chen had made
against him.

Such a response by Ji Xuan had seemingly exceeded everyone’s expectations. They

were completely unable to understand why Ji Xuan, who had always been exceedingly
fierce in his actions, would not invoke any retaliatory response. This was clearly
unlike his usual mannerisms and attitude.

Nevertheless, regardless of how much Ji Xuan’s actions had caused voices of doubt
to rise within the Great Spiritual Academy Tournament, he did not make any changes
to his actions. Appearing to still continue calmly defeating group after group,
obtaining more points and steadying his position as the Numero Uno on the rankings.

It was within those blanketing voices of doubt that yet another attention-grabbing
matter happened, which was a new group that had rushed into the Top 16. Generally
speaking, it was a common occurrence for powerful groups to suddenly rise into the
Top 16 during this period of time. Other than causing everyone to feel astonished
for a moment, things quickly calmed down.

That was because it wouldn’t take long for this dark horse that had emerged to be
brought down by yet another dark horse, something that was common in this current
situation.

Therefore, what made people interested was that this emerging group wasn’t a dark
horse, but a group that was unexpectedly from the Northern Heavens Spiritual
Academy.

Ranked 16th on the point rankings. Northern Heavens Spiritual Academy. Captain,
Shen Cangsheng,

With the addition of this group in the points ranking, the Northern Heavens
Spiritual Academy had become the only Spiritual Academy within the Great Spiritual
Academy Tournament to occupy two places within the Top 16.
That’s because after defeating Wang Jiang, the group led by Mu Chen had rose to the
10th rank on the rankings.

“Ji Xuan’s really able to endure.”

Standing on a hill, Mu Chen looked towards a small town present before him. From
time-to-time, there would be streaks of light descending from the skies, before
landing within. This was a small transaction base within this region, and was also
their temporary resting ground, for now.

“Why won’t Ji Xuan take direct action against us? As of now, we’ve already stepped
into the Top 16, with Ji Xuan being able to find our location,” asked Xu Huang,
standing behind Mu Chen in doubt. This question had been bugging him for the past
few days, as he was guarding against Ji Xuan sending an attack. However, what made
him suspicious was that for the past few days, Ji Xuan, who should be getting angry
and furious at them for such targeting had not shone any movement at all.

“That’s because Ji Xuan’s also afraid,” replied Luo Li in a soft voice.

“You guys underestimate your Captain too much,” added Wen Qingxuan with a smile.
“Within the Spiritual Road, he and Ji Xuan are old opponents. Furthermore, in such
a confrontation, Ji Xuan doesn’t have any obvious advantage over him.”

Hearing that, Xu Huang and the others gave embarrassed laughs in response, with
shock and astonishment appearing in their eyes as they looked towards Mu Chen. As
Ji Xuan gradually increased in fame and reputation, they had also started to know
about the frightening strength the latter possessed. Such a character would
absolutely be rated as a heaven-gifted child, and was more than sufficient to cause
countless geniuses to pale in colour when compared to him.

However, even this heaven-gifted child seemed to not be able to obtain much of an
advantage in Mu Chen’s hands. One could see from this that the latter similarly
possessed the methods and capability that was not inferior to Ji Xuan.

“That’s why there’s no one that could obstruct Mu Chen’s path in our Northern
Heavens Spiritual Academy. So, it turns out that he's a top-class big shot…” said
Zhao Qingshan with a bitter laugh. In the past, they were still brooding about the
fact that Mu Chen was a Freshman, with them being his Seniors. However, now, they
had no choice but to respect and admire the former.

“You guys better not praise me.” Mu Chen could not help laughing. “The accurate
reason why Ji Xuan didn’t take action is due to fearing the three of us.”

His fingers were pointing at himself, Luo Li and Wen Qingxuan.

Among the three of them, other than him, the other two beautiful and soul-stirring
girls were also not ordinary people. Within the Spiritual Road, Luo Li forced Ji
Xuan to the point of him losing the chance of obtaining the Spiritual Crown, while
Wen Qingxuan had obtained it in one sweep, suppressing the outstanding geniuses
present there with her skills.

Among the two girls, the fame and reputation of Wen Qingxuan wasn’t inferior to Ji
Xuan, with her also being the only person in many people’s eyes that could contend
with Ji Xuan for the number one spot. As for Luo Li, she was the one who had the
lowest profile. Even Mu Chen was not clear exactly how much power this future
Empress of the Luo God Clan was concealing. Every single time he had probed her
out, the young girl would only give a smile in response without answering, causing
Mu Chen to feel itchy all over about it.

With these two heavyweight figures beside him, no matter how prideful or confident
Ji Xuan was, he would not dare to carelessly take action.

Furthermore, there were also other reasons behind his decision to not attack them.
That’s because if Ji Xuan really wanted to launch an all-out battle with Mu Chen
and his group, it would definitely result in a heaven-shaking battle. At that time,
regardless of who would win or lose in the end, both parties would get seriously
hurt and injured.

At this moment in the Great Spiritual Academy Tournament, there were other
heavyweight existences within other groups. To Ji Xuan, those groups had similarly
possessed extreme threat to him.

Perhaps, in ordinary circumstances, those few heavyweight groups would not dare to
recklessly confront Ji Xuan in battle. However, once he had crossed hands with Mu
Chen and suffer serious injuries as a result, those heavyweight groups might be the
first to deal with him, who was the opponent with the greatest threat to them.

It was precisely due to such a reason that caused Ji Xuan to not recklessly take
action in response to Mu Chen purposefully targeting him, despite knowing that the
latter had removed his claws being Lu Tian and Wang Jiang completely away.

This fellow clearly possessed a rather strong level of patience and fortitude.

Hearing that, Xu Huang and the other two quietly breathed a sigh of relief. Not
requiring to faces the strongest group in the current Great Spiritual Academy
Tournament was something worth relaxing a bit for them.

“You guys are celebrating too early.”

Seeing that, Mu Chen gave a faint smile as he spoke out. Crossing his fingers
gently, he continued speaking. “With my understanding of Ji Xuan, he would not
completely endure this matter without doing anything. As of now, the reason why he
doesn’t make any action is due to him not having absolute assurance.”
“Ji Xuan’s cautious and prudent, and won’t recklessly take action. Once he takes
action, it would definitely a lightning-quick method.”

“Therefore…” Mu Chen raised his head and looked into the distance. As chilling
intent surfaced within his black pupils, he continued speaking, “The current
tranquility is just the prelude of the storm. Once Ji Xuan takes action, what comes
next… would be the true assault of the storm.”

Hearing Mu Chen’s words, the faces of Xu Huang and the other two turned sluggish.
Although Mu Chen sounded calm and neutral, they were still able to hear the
chilling intent hidden beneath it.

“Cough… let’s not care about him. In any case, we’ve you three heavyweights. If he
really takes action, we aren’t afraid of him.”

Xu Huang gave a dry cough, before looking at his Academy Plaque. With a smile, he
said, “I never would have imagined that Shen Cangsheng and the others would also be
able to rush up into the rankings. Those fellows truly are not simple, too.”

Hearing that, Mu Chen smiled and nodded his head. Looking at the group at the 16th
place, which was now occupied by Shen Cangsheng’s group, this clearly showed that
their strength had progressed by leaps and bounds compared to before. From the
looks of it, they had similarly obtained quite a huge benefit from this Shattered
Continent. This caused Mu Chen to feel quite relieved and gratified.

“It truly has been a long time since we’ve seen them. I don’t know how they are
doing right now,” said Mu Chen with a faint smile. He also wanted to see and meet
up with Shen Cangsheng, Li Xuantong, Su Xuan and the others again.

“Why not we go and find them?” suggested Xu Huang.

Hearing that, Mu Chen shook his head and replied. “As of now, we’ve already brought
the fight to Ji Xuan. If Shen Cangsheng and the others are to move together with
us, we’d bring trouble for them.”

“Oh?”

Suddenly, Luo Li cried out, her beautiful eyes slightly contracting as she pointed
towards the 1st place on the point rankings, before saying in a deep tone, “Ji
Xuan’s position is changing.”

Hearing that, Mu Chen and the others instantly looked over. Indeed, Ji Xuan’s
location was changing extremely quickly. Clearly, they were currently moving at an
extremely quick pace.

“Could they be rushing towards us?” asked Luo Li in astonishment.

Hearing that, faint wrinkles appeared on Mu Chen’s forehead as he stared at Ji
Xuan’s changing location. After an instant, his eyes furiously contracted, while
chilling intent gushed from the depths his black pupils.

“He’s not rushing towards us…”

Mu Chen’s handsome face appeared exceedingly dark at this instant, with his hands
abruptly, tightly clenched, while the killing intent within his eyes soaring.

“He’s planning on taking action towards Shen Cangsheng and the others!”

Hearing those words, the faces of Xu Huang and the others instantly contorted.
Chapter 575 - Retaliate

The atmosphere on the hill froze seemingly in an instant, while a murderous aura
started to quietly appear.

Ugly expressions appeared on the faces of Xu Huang and the others. Never in their
wildest dreams did they expect that Ji Xuan would turn his spearhead towards Shen
Cangsheng and the others.

“He’s planning to return an eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth,” said Wen Qingxuan
in a slow manner.

During this period of time, Mu Chen had been pulling out the teeth and claws of Ji
Xuan’s alliance. Therefore, Ji Xuan had now chosen the same exact method to remove
the other Northern Heavens Spiritual Academy group, as well as to appropriate a
response to Mu Chen.

“Ji Xuan’s extremely cautious in his actions. He knows what kind of action you
would take if he was to do such a thing. However, he still chose to do so.
Therefore… I believe that he should have made his preparations,” said Luo Li in a
deep voice as she looked towards Mu Chen.

Hearing that, Mu Chen slightly nodded his head. With Ji Xuan always having
exceedingly deep and complex schemes, if the latter didn’t have the slightest bit
of assurance, he would absolutely not recklessly do something like that. However,
from the looks of it, he had still gone through and did it. That is to say, did he
already put the fear of Mu Chen and the others dealing with him behind his back?

Exactly for what reason caused him to suddenly not worry about such fear?

A glint sparkled within Mu Chen’s eyes, while slivers of killing intent gushed from
within. Indeed, there had never been a place where this opponent was easy to deal
with.
“What should we do?” Xu Huang and the others stared at Mu Chen. If Ji Xuan and his
group had come prepared, them recklessly moving out might be something that the
former would have expected. At that time, once they engage in combat, it might
start what might be the most intense and cruel fight within the Great Spiritual
Academy Tournament.

In such a situation, even Mu Chen wouldn’t have absolute assurance of being able to
obtain victory.

Ever since he had started to take action against Lu Tian and Wang Jiang, Mu Chen
had already anticipated that Ji Xuan wouldn’t dare to recklessly start a
counterattack against them. This would cause him to silently wait for the right
time. It was this silence that would undoubtedly create a blow towards the latter’s
fame and reputation.

Indeed, the matter had proceeded according to Mu Chen’s expectations. However, he

had not expected that Shen Cangsheng and the other group would rush into the Top 16
at this moment, causing them to appear in the sights of Ji Xuan.

Therefore, this move by Ji Xuan had turned his originally disadvantageous situation
around. At this moment, there might already be quite a few people paying attention
to this matter, and would be anticipating a response from Mu Chen’s side.

Exactly what should he do? Continue to bide his time, or take the risk of the
possibility of Ji Xuan being prepared for him to mount a rescue?

If it was the former, it would result in quite a big blow towards Mu Chen’s
reputation, as this whole matter was started by him. As for now, Ji Xuan had
directed his anger and fury onto Shen Cangsheng and the other Northern Heavens
Spiritual Academy group. If Mu Chen was to watch and not take any action, there
might be quite a few that would wag their tongues about him.

However, if he chose to do the latter, once he suffered defeat, Ji Xuan might not
give them the chance to make a resurgence.

A chilling light slowly congealed within Mu Chen’s black pupils, with the
surrounding atmosphere turned so tense it appeared to have frozen solid. After an
instant, he slowly closed his eyes. Upon opening them, his gaze appeared to have
slightly calmed down.

Slowly tensing his body, he said in a calm voice, “Let’s head out!”

Xu Huang and the others were startled as they looked towards Mu Chen.

“Regardless of what preparations Ji Xuan has prepared for us, this is something
that we’ve started. Regardless of what the outcome is, we have to carry it on our
shoulders,” replied Mu Chen in an indifferent tone.
“Furthermore, I really, really want to know what kind of show Ji Xuan has prepared.
However, regardless of that, I’ll let him know that he might not be able to stomach
me, Mu Chen.”

“It was like that in the Spiritual Road, and will be the same over here.”

Looking towards the calm-faced youth before their eyes, Xu Huang noticed a layer of
gloss reflecting out of the latter’s black pupils under the illumination of the
sunlight. Even when faced against the most elite figure, whose name had shocked the
entire Great Spiritual Academy Tournament, the latter still did not show the
slightest bit of dread or fear.

Mu Chen’s calm appearance caused Xu Huang and the others to gradually calm down,
before solemnly nodding their heads.

Staring at Mu Chen’s face awhile, Luo Li gave a gentle laugh. She loved the self-
confidence that was hidden within the core the youth before her eyes. That kind of
self-confidence wasn’t brought forth by ignorance nor being impetuous, but one that
originated from one’s core.

Admittedly, Ji Xuan was powerful. However, he too possessed an intolerable

arrogance and contemptuous attitude.

Wen Qingxuan twirled a lock of her black hair that flowed behind her ear as she
swept a look towards Mu Chen with her beautiful eyes. At this moment, she knew that
the apex clash of the Great Spiritual Academy Tournament was truly about to start.

There was only one thing she did not know. Exactly who among these two similarly
monstrous talents would end up being the final victor in this clash?

Mu Chen took a deep breath, before giving an abrupt wave of his hand. As his figure
rose into the air, he transformed into a ray of light, shooting straight towards
the direction of Shen Cangsheng and his group, as indicated on the Academy Plaque.

Behind him, Luo Li, Wen Qingxuan, Xu Huang and the others immediately followed
suit, with dense murderous auras following the whooshing sounds that rang out.

While Mu Chen and his group started to rush towards where Shen Cangsheng and his
group was, quite a lot of people within the central region had also discovered this
change in the situation.

Therefore, the atmosphere was on the verge of exploding.

As of now, there was no one that didn’t know about the reputation of Ji Xuan. After
all, being able to lord over the Numero Uno place was more than sufficient to show
the astonishing capabilities he possessed.

Faced against such a monstrous talent, there might not be any group that dared to
show the slightest bit of ignorance towards them. At this moment, everyone knew
that the group led by Ji Xuan absolutely possessed the qualifications to aim for
the championship.

As for Mu Chen, there weren’t many people that knew about him in the earlier phase
of the Great Spiritual Academy Tournament. However, following his destruction of
the large array arranged by Xiao Huang, defeating Mo Xiu, Qiu Ning and Liu San with
a single move, as well as destroying Ji Xuan’s alliance partners, the former 10th
and 8th placed Lu Tian and Wang Jiang respectively, his fame and reputation had
risen at an exceedingly astonishing pace.

This was especially true after he had destroyed Ji Xuan’s alliance. With Ji Xuan
not showing any movement at all, the name of Mu Chen was remembered by more and
more powerful groups.

When thinking about a person that was able to cause a monstrous talent like Ji Xuan
to suffer losses and restrain his emotions made everyone feel fear and dread
towards him.

Therefore, everyone had great anticipation towards the moment when these two people
would bump heads, and to what kind of astonishing battle would take place.

Therefore, upon noticing the movements of Ji Xuan and Mu Chen, seemingly all of the
powerful groups had turned their eyeballs over. All of them had a premonition that
the curtains towards the most eye-catching confrontation within the entirety of the
Great Spiritual Academy Tournament had already started to draw open.

Whoosh! Whoosh!

Suddenly, countless hurried whooshing sounds rang out across the entire earth, as
powerful groups rushed across the horizon in succession. Transforming into rays of
light, all of them rushed across the vast earth as they headed towards a certain
location.

Seemingly inadvertently, this had quietly caused the fiery and intense atmosphere
within this region, where seemingly all of the powerful groups within the Great
Spiritual Academy Tournament had converged, to be pushed to its pinnacle.

Whoosh!
Rays of light shot over the horizon.

Mu Chen’s figure was presently at the lead of those figures, with his eyes tightly
locked on the far distance. At this moment, not the slightest fluctuation was
present on his handsome face, even when he could sense the suddenly fiercy change
in the atmosphere within the entire region, since all of these changes were caused
by his actions.

As of now, they might have already become the most prominent group within the
masses present within the Great Spiritual Academy Tournament.

“Ji Xuan and his gang seems to have discovered our actions, since his speed has
suddenly increased by quite a bit. According to his current speed, I’m afraid that
he might reach Shen Cangsheng and his group before us,” whispered Luo Li after
suddenly moving closer to Mu Chen.

Hearing that, Mu Chen’s eyes slightly narrowed. Taking a look at the Academy Plaque
within his hand, he noticed that Ji Xuan’s movements really did suddenly increase
in speed. Such a speed had caused even him to feel somewhat shocked.

“Let’s speed up.”

Mu Chen spoke out in a deep voice. They needed to find Shen Cangsheng and his group
before Ji Xuan and his gang did. If not, in the off-chance they were to land in the
hands of Ji Xuan and his gang, it would be a form of suppression towards Mu Chen.
Such a method was something that Ji Xuan excelled in.

As his voice rang out, a shadow dragon abruptly took form beneath his feet. As a
dragon roar resounded across the horizon, Mu Chen’s speed drastically increased
once more.

At his instant, Luo Li and Wen Qingxuan had increased their speed without the
slightest bit of restraint as they quickly followed behind him. The only people
left behind were Xu Huang and the rest. Nevertheless, at this moment, Mu Chen could
no longer care about that.

They had to reach Shen Cangsheng before Ji Xuan does!

As the atmosphere within the vast earth had suddenly turned fiery and explosive,
the atmosphere in a certain valley had also turned exceedingly depressed.

Shen Cangsheng, Li Xuantong, Su Xuan and the other two sat within a valley as they
quietly recuperated. They had experienced a great battle not too long ago against a
group that was quite formidable, causing them to expend a considerable amount of
effort to clinch the victory.

Nevertheless, relying on the points they had obtained, they had finally broke into
the Top 16.

“That fellow, Mu Chen, really has climbed very fast. He’s actually at the 10th
place already.” After taking a look at his Academy Plaque, He Yao suddenly cast his
mouth aside as he spoke.

“That brat’s always been remarkable. Him only climbing to the 10th place as of now
is something that I’ve not expected,” replied Shen Chansheng with a smile as he
opened his eyes.

“However, as of now, our Northern Heavens Spiritual Academy is the only Spiritual
Academy with two groups in the Top 16,” added Li Xuantong with a faint smile.

Hearing that, everyone smiled and nodded their heads.

“Oh?”

Suddenly, Su Xuan, who was playing around with her Academy Plaque in her hand,
cried out in shock, before her beautiful face slightly changed. Fiercely raising
her head, she said, “That’s not right, why are there so many groups suddenly
rapidly heading towards our direction?”

Upon hearing that, Shen Cangsheng immediately gawked as he hastily pulled out his
Academy Plaque. Indeed, other than them, the groups present at the Top 16 were
unexpectedly closing in towards their direction.

Among them included the Numero Uno, Ji Xuan, as well as the 10th place Mu Chen.

“What’s the matter?” Sensing that something wasn’t quite right, Li Xuantong and the
others immediately asked in deep voices.

A slight change happened to Shen Cangsheng’s gaze, before he furiously stood up as

he replied in a fierce voice, “Let’s leave, quickly! We’ve become Ji Xuan’s target!
He wants to use us to retaliate against Mu Chen!”

Hearing that, the faces of Li Xuantong and the others instantly changed.

Clenching her Academy Plaque, Su Xuan’s voice turned bitter as she said, “I’m
afraid that we’re too late…”

Shen Cangsheng’s face turned dark as he raised his head. At this instant, whooshing
sounds were already reverberating as they rang from the distant horizon.
Lowering his head to look at his Academy Plaque, he saw that the Numero Uno, Ji
Xuan, was already at a position that was merely a dozen kilometres away from them.
Such a position was more than sufficient to indicate that they had already been
locked on by him.

Chapter 576 - Flee

The atmosphere within the mountain valley froze and turned suffocating as
exceedingly ugly expressions appeared on the faces of Shen Cangsheng and the other
four. Clearly, they were somewhat caught with their pants down by this sudden
trouble…

Although they had obtained quite a big benefit in this fragment of the Shattered
Continent, resulting in their strength improving by quite a bit, they were
extremely clear that they were absolutely not a match for a group like Ji Xuan’s.

Once the two sides were to truly engage in combat, their side would lose without a
doubt.

“What should we do?” asked He Yao as he looked towards Shen Cangsheng with an ugly
look on his face.

As a dark shade fluctuated over Shen Cangsheng’s face, he gave a furious clench of
his teeth as he replied, “I’ll take the Academy Plaque and run away! You guys
scatter and leave!”

Hearing Shen Cangsheng’s reply, Li Xuantong’s face instantly sunk down as he said,
“With such a short distance, they would already be able to lock onto us. Simply
running away would be of no use. Furthermore, once they catch you or any of us, it
would end up with the same result. That’s because if any one of us falls into their
hands, they would definitely use us to deal with Mu Chen!”

“And with Mu Chen’s character, I’m afraid that he wouldn’t just stand by the side
and watch! If not, he wouldn’t be rushing over here with all his might.”

“Let’s go together! Although Ji Xuan and his gang are extremely formidable, we
ain’t just mud on the floor!” growled Yang Lin, the last member of the group.

Creaking sounds rang from Shen Cangsheng’s hands as his face turned ashen. At this
moment, a feeling of humiliation gushed from his heart. Being a rather prideful
person at heart, he was the Numero Uno on the Northern Heavens Spiritual Academy’s
Heavenly Rankings before the appearance of Mu Chen. However, at this moment, they
were forced to such a miserable position, yet he was powerless to change it.

Bang!
Shen Cangsheng fiercely sent a punch against the rock wall beside him, causing
cracks to rapidly extend from his fist. Taking a deep breath, he said in a deep
voice, “Let’s scatter first. As of now, Mu Chen and the others are currently
rushing over. Regardless of anything, we have to drag the time on and wait for him
to arrive. At that time, Ji Xuan will fail at his objective.”

Hearing that, Li Xuantong, Su Xuan and the others nodded their heads in agreement.
All of them were not willing to land in Ji Xuan’s hands and be used against Mu
Chen.

“Let’s go!”

Shen Cangsheng gave a low roar. Taking to the air, he quickly shot in the opposite
direction of where those whooshing sounds were ringing from. Behind him, Li
Xuantong, Su Xuan and the other two wore tense expressions on their faces as they
rapidly followed suit.

Whoosh!

Increasing their speed to the maximum, the five shot across the horizon at
lightning speed, causing sharp and hurried whooshing sounds to ear-piercingly
reverberate within the vast mountain range.

Darkness filled the entirety of Shen Cangsheng’s face, his eyes brimming with
unconcealable anger and fury. With his hands tightly clenched, green veins squirmed
and throbbed on their surface. Such a speedy retreat caused him to feel as if his
heart was burning up.

Crack!

The sharp and incisive sounds of space being split apart appeared to ring from the
horizon behind them.

“Run quickly!” Suddenly, Shen Cangsheng’s face contorted as he fiercely roared.

“Haha. These few friends from the Northern Heavens Spiritual Academy, we’ve hurried
over here from a place far, far away. And yet, you all want to leave before even
saying any greetings. Isn’t this to impolite of you all?” Just as Shen Cangsheng’s
roar rang out, faint laughter, accompanied by a voice, suddenly rang out within the
region.

Upon hearing that voice, the hearts of Shen Cangsheng and the others furiously sunk
down.
“Don’t worry about him! Continue on!” growled Shen Cangsheng. However, before his
voice could fully ring out, his eyes furiously, abruptly contracted. Fiercely
raising his head, he saw a figure with his hands behind his back stand on the
mountain peak before them, looking straight towards them with a grin on his face.

This figure was dressed in white robes, with a warm and radiant smile covering his
handsome face, making it hard for people raise their vigilance against him.
Nevertheless, upon spotting him, the faces of Shen Cangsheng and the other four
instantly contorted.

“Ji Xuan!”

“Please stay behind, the few of you,” said Ji Xuan with a smile as he looked
towards Shen Cangsheng and the other four.

“In your dreams!”

Shen Cangsheng sneered in reply. Sweeping a glance towards Li Xuantong and the
three, the five of them explosively scattered seemingly in the next instant.

Seeing this, Ji Xuan couldn’t help giving a gentle sigh. Not a single flutter of
emotion was present within his eyes, before he gave a wave of his sleeve. In the
next instant, exceedingly powerful Spiritual Energy instantly swept out from his
sleeve just like a long river.

Swish! Swish!

As the long Spiritual Energy river swept out, it split into five parts, appearing
right before Shen Cangsheng and the other four in the blink of an eye. As the long
Spiritual Energy rivers converged together, they transformed into a giant Spiritual
Energy palm that fiercely pressed down from above.

Bang!

A giant thunder-like bang resounded.

Shen Cangsheng and the other four that were originally shooting away were instantly
sent in the opposite direction. Other than Shen Cangsheng and Li Xuantong, who
staggered back a few steps, muffled groans rang out from Su Xuan and the other two,
while a faint shade of paleness appeared on their faces.

This Ji Xuan’s strength is actually that terrifying! He had forced the five of them
back just with a single palm of his.

Shen Cangsheng and the other four were forced to group up once again. At this
moment, a shadow of shock flashed across their eyes. The power and strength of Ji
Xuan had far exceeded all of their expectations.

As of now, within their group, Shen Cangsheng and Li Xuantong were both currently
at the pinnacle of First Grade Spirit Disaster. As for Su Xuan, He Yao and Yang
Lin, all of them had already reached the realm of Spiritual Energy Disaster.
Truthfully speaking, such a lineup was considered to be rather strong. If not, they
wouldn’t be able to rush into the Top 16 by just relying on their own strengths.

However, despite that, their lineup was obstructed just by Ji Xuan alone.

“These few friends from the Northern Heavens Spiritual Academy. You all should be
clear that my true target’s not you all. As long as you all agree to be captured,
I’ll not make things difficult for you all,” said Ji Xuan in a warm tone.

Not giving a reply, a glint faintly sparkled within Shen Cangsheng’s eyes.

Whoosh.

At this moment, more whooshing sounds rang out from behind them as four glowing
figures shot over. Splitting up and moving into four separate locations, they
completely sealed the surrounding space. The four that had shot over were precisely
the members of Ji Xuan’s group.

Seeing this, the eyes of Shen Cangsheng and the other four turned dim. From the
looks of it, they seemed to have no way to easily escape this predicament.

Exchanging glances with one another, all of them took a deep breath before their
gazes gradually turned fierce. Even if there wasn’t anymore chances for them to
escape, they would absolutely not let themselves be captured that easily! They
needed to buy time for Mu Chen!

“Take action!”

Shen Cangsheng and Li Xuantong explosively shot out seemingly at the same instant.
Clenching their hands, long spears appeared in a flash. Spiritual Energies erupted
from their bodies without the slightest bit of restraint, while the incomparably
fierce spear tips explosively rumbled towards where Ji Xuan was at lightning speed.

At the same instant, Su Xuan, He Yao and Yang Lin had rushed towards another
location. They had chosen to collaborate and attack one of Ji Xuan’s group members
that had sealed that direction.

Bang! Bang!

As the spear tips heavily pierced towards the place where Ji Xuan stood, the
mountain peak below had instantly collapsed. As giant rocks tumbled down, Ji Xuan
strode through the air, walking straight up into the skies, while his white robes
appeared clean and unblemished. The fierce attacks coming from Shen Cangsheng and
Li Xuantong had unexpectedly not caused the slightest bit of harm towards him.

“Looks like you all do not approve of my suggestion, huh.” Looking towards Shen
Cangsheng and Li Xuantong, Ji Xuan shook his head with some regret, before taking a
small step forward.

Whoosh!

As his feet landed in the air, his figure appeared to have instantly shifted right
before the two. As the trio exchanged gazes, the eyes of Shen Cangsheng and Li
Xuantong snapped wide open.

Bang!

With exceedingly tacit understanding, Shen Cangsheng and Li Xuantong had sent a
palm out each, patting out at seemingly the same time. Bringing along astonishing
gales, boundless Spiritual Energies heavily patted down towards Ji Xuan’s body.

Boom!

However, just as they had sent their palms patting down, Ji Xuad had sent a palm of
his own out in welcome. In the next instant, the palms of the trio heavily smashed
against each other.

Astonishing Spiritual Energy gales immediately swept out.

Although Ji Xuan’s figure had seemingly not moved an inch, Shen Cangsheng and Li
Xuantong appeared to have suffered a heavy blow. Their bodies shot backwards in a
miserable fashion, skidding over a hundred metres in the air before finally being
able to forcefully stabilise themselves. At this moment, their hands were faintly
trembling as intense pain radiated from them, appearing as if their bones had been
shattered.

“I believe that you two should be the most elite of the Northern Heavens Spiritual
Academy. As of now, with Mu Chen placed above your heads while having the status of
a Freshman, shouldn’t you two be uncomfortable about it? Since that’s the case, why
not collaborate with me? If I settle and finish off Mu Chen, I’ll guarantee your
names in the Saint Spiritual Academy, and will make sure you guys are promoted into
the final match,” said Ji Xuan in a slow manner as he looked towards Shen Cangsheng
and Li Xuantong.

Being a Freshman in the Saint Spiritual Academy, Ji Xuan was extremely clear how
much jealousy and resentment those veteran outstanding students had towards him.
With Mu Chen’s road being similar to his own, one could tell that the latter’s
situation wasn’t much better than his own. The few people before him should not
have good feelings towards Mu Chen.

However, he had clearly made some errors in his judgement this time. Upon hearing
him say those words, Shen Cangsheng and Li Xuantong only gave a laugh in reply. The
smiles present on their faces weren’t deep, yet it showed of a faint flavor of
ridicule and disdain.

It was precisely this ridicule and disdain that caused the genial smile on Ji
Xuan’s face to slowly disappear.

If the people before him were exchanged for the other groups from the Saint
Spiritual Academy, Ji Xuan would dare to bet that they would instantly betray him…
however, these fellows from the Northern Heavens Spiritual Academy were actually
defending Mu Chen, who was now standing on their heads?

Form a certain perspective, wouldn’t this mean that Mu Chen had obtained a more
perfect result than him?

“You two truly don’t know what’s good for you,” said Ji Xuan with an indifferent
smile. In the next instant, his figure disappeared once again.

Bang!

Astonishing Spiritual Energy erupted once again, as the figures of Shen Cangsheng
and Li Xuantong were sent retreating once more, with blood flowing down the corners
of their mouths. However, before they could react, a spectre-like figure had
surfaced once again before them, while an even fiercer attack came enveloping over.

Bang! Bang!

The figures of the two continued to backpedal in a miserable fashion. Even after
collaborating, they were still at a complete disadvantage, and were even unable to
muster the slightest bit of resistance. Therefore, within the span of a dozen
breaths, the amount of blood streaming down the corners of their mouths continued
to increase.

Boom!

At the other location, Su Xuan and the other two had collaborated in an attempt to
break through from another direction. However, they discovered that they were
unexpectedly unable to obtain the slightest bit of advantage over the youth from
the Saint Spiritual Academy before them.

“Haha. Could it be that you’ve chosen to break through from here because I appear
to be the weakest?” After being targeted by Su Xuan and the other two, the youth by
the name of Mu Feng spoke out in a ridiculing manner as he grinned towards the
trio.
At the other three directions, his three other group members had only sealed those
directions without taking action. That’s because they knew that if Su Xuan and the
other two had chosen them as the direction to break through, the trio might have a
slight chance in doing so. However, they had ended up choosing Mu Feng. Other than
Ji Xuan, that fellow was the second strongest within their group.

Solemn expressions appeared on the faces of Su Xuan and the other two.
Nevertheless, none of them made any noise, with them merely attacking with
increasing intensity.

“Don’t drag it on anymore, Mu Feng.”

Just as Mu Feng was wanting to speak ridiculing comments, an indifferent voice rang
out not far away from him. That was precisely Ji Xuan’s voice.

“Look’s like you three are unlucky.”

Hearing that, Mu Feng gave a smile. Looking towards Su Xuan and the other two, his
smile started to become abnormally cold and chilling.

Chapter 577 - Miserable

Seeing the chilling smile curl on the face of Mu Feng, the expressions on the faces
of Su Xuan and the other two grew increasingly ugly. Exchanging glances with one
another, Spiritual Energies proceeded to sweep out from their bodies without the
slightest restraint.

Whoosh!

The trio explosively shot out. After such a long period of tempering within the
Great Spiritual Academy Tournament, their teamwork and rapport had clearly reached
a state of extreme tacit understanding between each other. Although their
cultivation was only at the realm of Spiritual Energy Disaster, when they
collaborated, their combined might would cause even an expert of First Grade
Disaster to feel fear and dread.

However, the person before them, Mu Feng, wasn’t an ordinary person at First Grade
Spirit Disaster, but a genuine expert at Second Grade Spirit Disaster. Such a realm
of cultivation was even higher than that Lu Tian that Mu Chen had defeated earlier.
Therefore, faced against the ferocious attacks coming from the trio, Mu Feng only
gave a faint smile, one which contained ridicule and disdain present within. With a
furious clench of his hand, a dark-red halberd appeared, while his gaze grew even
colder.

A scarlet-red crescent-shaped glowing pattern appeared to be present on the surface

of the halberd, sparkling with heart-palpitating fluctuations.

“Demonic Moon Halberd, Cleaving Moon!”

With an indifferent expression on his face, the halberd in Mu Feng’s hands abruptly
chopped down, only for blood-red rays of brilliance to erupt from it. In the next
instant, they formed into a gigantic blood-red crescent moon. As the crescent moon
howled downwards, it brought about an incomparable chill as it came down on Su Xuan
and the other two.

As the blood-red crescent moon shot out, a scar was carved into the space it had
travelled past.

Seeing this incoming crescent moon, the faces of Su Xuan and the other two
instantly changed. Not daring to show the slightest bit of neglect, they
immediately unleashed their most powerful attacks.

“Phoenix Wing Spiritual Umbrella!” With a clench of her hand, a spiritual umbrella
that appeared to be constructed from phoenix wings appeared in Su Xuan’s hand. As
spiritual light sparkled from it, the cry of a phoenix rang out. In the next
instant, powerful Spiritual Energy fluctuations radiated from it. Clearly, this was
an Peerless Rank Spiritual Artifact that possessed outstanding might.

“Devil Dragon’s Blade!” At the same time, a large blade constructed from the head
of a dragon appeared in He Yao’s hands, with dragon scales covering the entirety of
its surface. With an loud roar, a gigantic dragon-shaped arched blade explosively
shot from it.

“Hundred Beasts Wheel!” Rays of brilliance erupted from Yang Lin’s hand, before
transforming into a malevolent-looking glowing wheel. Spiritual light started to
perfuse around the glowing wheel, before transforming into the shape of a hundred
beasts, with their roars shaking the air around them.

The trio clearly had some luck as they had obtained Spiritual Items that were of
quite a high grade. The might they were able to unleash was also extraordinary. At
this moment, with their collaboration, they appeared to possess an exceedingly
powerful aura.

Bang!

Four fierce attacks smashed together at lightning speed, instantly causing a loud
bang to resound across the horizon. Seemingly at the same time, a Spiritual Energy
shock wave that could be seen by the naked-eye had also swept out.

“A mantis trying to stop a chariot.”

Seeing this, a chilling smile appeared on Mu Feng’s face. As his gaze abruptly
turned ice-cold, the Demonic Moon Halberd in his hand shot out once again. This
time, a bloody light gushed from it, causing blood-red crescent moons to
continuously surface from it, before hiding the skies and covering the earth as
they howled.

Bang! Bang!

Faced against the successive battering from the blood-red crescent moons, the
attacks of the trio appeared to have instantly collapsed. Although they had the
support of their Spiritual Items, the disparity between them and Mu Feng was too
large.

This disparity between Spiritual Energy Disaster and Second Grade Spirit Disaster
could never be made up by relying on Spiritual Items.

Bang!

As their attacks collapsed and failed, a shudder shook through the bodies of the
trio as they miserably retreated back as if they had suffered a huge blow. As they
did so, a sweet taste appeared in their throats, before blood seeped out from the
corners of their mouths.

Whoosh!

However, without waiting for the trio to suppress the tremors shaking within their
bodies, Mu Feng had already appeared behind Su Xuan’s back akin to a bolt of
lightning. Clearly, he was planning to end this fight as quickly as possible.

“Su Xuan, be careful!”

Seeing this, He Yao’s face instantly contorted as he hastily roared.

At this moment, the Spiritual Energy within Su Xuan’s body was rolling and surging.
She had similarly discovered Mu Feng, who had shot towards her. However, with her
strength being exhausted, she was completely unable to evade from him. Thus, she
could only stare as Mu Feng’s fierce palm blade shot over at lightning speed.

Bang!
However, before the hand blade could land on Su Xuan’s body, a huge force came
barreling over, sending her body flying away.

He Yao’s body had appeared where Su Xuan was a moment ago. In the next instant, Mu
Feng’s fierce hand blade chopped down towards the former’s hand without the
slightest bit of mercy shown.

Squirt!

A jet of blood shot out.

A miserable shriek instantly rang out from He Yao’s mouth, as his left hand was
severed by Mu Feng’s palm. His body started to tremble and shake due to the intense
pain radiating from his arm, while he unsteadily retreated and staggered in a
miserable fashion.

“Go!”

Stemming the blood flowing from his arm, He Yao roared towards the blank-looking Su
Xuan.

“What a touching scene,” said Mu Feng with a grin as blood dripped down from his
palm. At this moment, his gaze appeared as cold as the edge of a blade. In the next
instant, he shot out once again towards Su Xuan.

“Bastard!”

With a furious curse, Yang Lin fiercely clenched his teeth. Unable to care much
about anything, he rushed straight out, appearing right before Su Xuan’s body. As
Spiritual Energy howled from him, he sent a fist rumbling straight towards Mu Feng.

Seeing this, a ridiculing smile appeared on Mu Feng’s face. Without showing any
mercy again, he sent a fist rumbling straight towards Yang Lin’s fist like a bolt
of lightning.

Crack!

Frightening energy waves gushed out as Yang Lin’s arm started to instantly warp and
distort. Cracking sounds started to ring out from his bones as he was sent flying
akin to having suffered a lightning strike, spewing blood as he went.

Seeing the two people who had suffered serious injuries in the blink of an eye just
to protect her, Su Xuan’s eyes started to involuntarily turn red.
At the same time when Su Xuan, He Yao and Yang Lin had suffered a complete defeat,
the bodies of Shen Cangsheng and Li Xuantong were completely covered in blood.
Nevertheless, fierce and vengeful shadows were still present in their eyes. Despite
being in such a depressing situation, the two of them did not give up the slightest
bit of hope. Circulating the Spiritual Energies in their bodies to their absolute
maximum, they launched attack after attack right towards Ji Xuan.

Nevertheless, their attacks could only be exchange for an indifferent palm from Ji
Xuan, before the two were sent retreating back in a miserable fashion, the blood
covering their bodies growing increasingly scarlet-red.

Such a scene appeared exceedingly tragic and full of despair.

At this moment, whooshing sounds endlessly rang out within this region as figures
appeared in the distant skies and mountain peaks in a successive fashion, with
their eyes all trained towards the huge battle erupting at this location.

Clearly, those were the powerful groups that had rushed over due to them being not
far away when the fight had occurred.

Upon seeing such a seemingly one-sided fight before their eyes, all of them could
not help quietly givinh a sigh. From the looks of it, this group from the Northern
Heavens Spiritual Academy would suffer a complete defeat today.

However, despite the sighs, there was not a single person that had stepped forward
to offer assistance to them. Faced against the group that was considered to be the
strongest in the current phase of the Great Spiritual Academy Tournament, there
might not be many who would have the courage to start a confrontation with them.

Puff!

Blood spewed from the mouths of Shen Cangsheng and Li Xuantong yet again, Looking
towards Ji Xuan, who wore a calm expression and faint smile in his face, the both
of them could not help tightly clenching their teeth. They had also sensed the
complete defeat at the side of Su Xuan and the other two. Yet, the two of them were
powerless to do anything about it.

At this moment, the eyes of the two had turned blood-red, with their pride and
arrogance appearing to have been smashed and scattered apart. Originally, the both
of them had believed that they had already made great progress in their
cultivation. However, who would have guess that they were still that frail and
weak, even to the point of being unable to protect their compatriots?

“Looks like you two are feeling extremely sorrowful.”

With a faint smile, Ji Xuan said, “In fact, if you want to blame someone, you can
blame Mu Chen. Everything’s due to him. If he had not acted as if he was clever,
you all would not have had to endure such humiliation.”

Ji Xuan’s words were extremely venomous, appearing to be more so than his actions.
Not only did he want to squash Shen Cangsheng and his group beneath his feet, he
even wanted to cause them to feel such humiliation, converting this into hatred and
transfer it onto Mu Chen.

“There will always be some disparity between you and Mu Chen.” However, faced
against such heart-rending words, a smile cracked open for Shen Cangsheng as he
spoke out, the blood at the corner of his mouth causing him to appear somewhat
malevolent.

“What did you say?” Hearing that, Ji Xuan’s eyes started to gradually turn cold.

“You’ll forever be alone. There will be no one that will trust you. Even those
compatriots of yours will give up on you when you meet with such similar troubles
as me. However, we will never give up on Mu Chen,” replied Shen Cangsheng in a
ridiculing fashion.

“Therefore, you’ll never ever be able to match up to Mu Chen! He’ll always be

stronger than you!”

“Haha.” Ji Xuan made a soft laugh. Shaking his head, he said, “Who would care about
something useless like trust? You’re so-called ‘belief’ is so weak in the face of
power and strength that it's really laughable.”

As Ji Xuan’s voice rang out, his face had already turned completely cold. He
proceeded to speak again. “Therefore, you guys should come to a stop at this
point.”

Whoosh!

As the last of his words rang out, his figure had already disappeared like a
spectre.

Without any prior signalling, Shen Cangsheng and Li Xuantong had already
explosively retreated.

Nevertheless, at the instant when they did so, a blurry figure had already appeared
between their midst. In the next instant, an ice-cold palm shot out towards their
throats akin to the talons of an eagle.

Bang!

Their bodies were heavily pressed against the precipitous mountain cliff behind
them. As the rocks behind them shattered apart, blood spewed from them once again,
while the Spiritual Energies radiating from them dropped to their weakest.

Right before them, an expressionless Ji Xuan stood in the sky, his hands on their
throats, causing them to be unable to move even a single inch.

On the other side.

With a smile on his face, Mu Feng looked towards Su Xuan while saying in a soft
voice, “Now, is there anyone else that can protect you?”

Whoosh!

His figure had shot out, heading straight towards Su Xuan.

Tightly clenching her teeth, Su Xuan circulated the Spiritual Energy within her
body to the utmost degree. At this moment, she could only try her best to endure a
bout with Mu Feng.

Boom!

The fierce Demonic Moon Halberd heavily smashed against the spiritual umbrella. As
the frightening power came gushing through, Su Xuan’s body shook as the spiritual
umbrella in her hands was sent flying away.

Pressing close to Su Xuan, Mu Feng looked towards the pretty face just inches away
from him, before giving a faint smile brimming with chilling intent. In the next
instant, sending a palm patting out, Spiritual Energy surged from his body, causing
the horizon the split apart.

“This ends here!”

As Mu Feng’s chilling voice rang out, Su Xuan closed her eyes in despair.

Rumble!

However, at the instant before Mu Feng’s palm was about to land on Su Xuan’s chest,
erratic claps of thunder suddenly resounded across the entire region, causing Mu
Feng’s face to furiously contort.

A black bolt of lightning split the horizon apart at an indescribable speed. Under
the countless astonished gazes shooting from this region, it violently smashed
against Mu Feng’s body.
Bang!

Mu Feng’s body instantly shot away, smashing straight into the ground. As he landed
on the earth, the area around him collapsed and caved in, while gigantic fissures
extended like a spider web.

After smashing Mu Feng away, the bolt of black lightning didn’t come to a stop.
With a shift, it rushed straight out, while a fist sparkling with lightning
mercilessly rumbled out, immediately heavily smash against Mu Feng’s chest, who was
now unable to even evade or dodge.

Puff!

Mu Feng’s eyes rapidly sprung wide open as he spewed a mouthful of blood. As he did
so, the ground beneath him caved in once more.

A roar rang fron him as he attempted to struggle out of his predicament. However, a
palm sparkling with lightning immediately clasped over his throat, causing his
struggling to abruptly freeze.

The black lightning before his eyes started to slowly dissipate away, before a thin
figure finally appeared before everyone’s eyes. Present on the figure was a
handsome face, merely that an extremely malevolent expression covered in murderous
aura had covered its entirety.

“Mu Chen!”

Cries of shock and astonishment instantly resounded across the entire region.

Not far away, the gaze of Ji Xuan, who had alrea

dy defeated Shen Cangsheng and Li Xuantong had also slightly changed. Slowly
panning his head across, he looked towards the familiar-looking lightning-clad
figure, before a smile started to curl from the corner of his mouth.

“You’ve finally arrived, Mu Chen.”

Chapter 578 - Two Kings’ Reunion

In this vast region, figures were faintly discernible at the edges of the distant
sky as they continued to hide the sky and cover the earth as they shot over. As of
now, it was clear that this region had already become the most prominent place
within the entire Great Spiritual Academy Tournament.

Various powerful groups were now standing in the air, with all of their gazes
focused towards the stretch of area before them. To be precise, they were all
trained towards the thin figure clad in black lightning bolts.

They were able to clearly sense the dense killing intent radiating from the figure.
Such killing intent appeared to have caused the temperature of the entire region to
drop by quite a bit.

That was Mu Chen.

“He has finally arrived…” Whispers quietly rang out as the gazes from everyone in
the region converged.

“If he had arrived just a bit later, that Northern Heavens Spiritual Academy group
would have been completely wiped out.”

“Ji Xuan and his group are truly vicious in their actions…”

“From the looks of it, there won’t be an easy conclusion to this matter.”

“Ji Xuan’s not easy to be dealt with. Although that Mu Chen’s fame and reputation
has been skyrocketing recently, can he really match up to Ji Xuan? His cultivation
seems to only be at Spiritual Energy Disaster…”

“……”

Whispering noises incessantly continued to ring out, while everyone’s gazes had
converged on the two main characters present within the region. Anyone would be
able to sense that an intense fight that would shock everyone present would erupt
in this region today.

Under the attentive gazes of everyone, Mu Chen had a hand wrapped around Mu Feng’s
throat while standing within the caved-in ground present below, appearing just like
a prey within the talons of an eagle. Furthermore, the killing intent radiating
from his body informed everyone that if he were to unleash a killing blow, he would
absolutely show no mercy nor remorse.

Being within Mu Chen’s grasp, Mu Feng’s face had already turned ashen, with the
blood dripping from the corner of his mouth causing him to look somewhat miserable.
A venomous and unwilling gaze shot from him towards Mu Chen. Due to the latter
taking such quick action, he was unable to muster any defenses, causing him to
become instantly suppressed by the latter.
He absolutely didn’t believe that Mu Chen would be able to suppress him in a head-
on confrontation!

Su Xuan was staring at the figure standing not too far away from her. It had been
more than half a year since she had seen him, yet he appeared to have not changed
much, merely that his originally handsome and gentle face had appeared somewhat
more healthy and robust. Perhaps, due to the vast killing intent radiating from his
body, he appeared exceedingly sharp and incisive, just like an extraordinary divine
spear standing tall within the heavens and earth.

Wiping away the bloodstain at the corner of her mouth, Su Xuan’s originally tense
heart started to slowly calm down. The youth before her appeared to cause people to
have boundless confidence in him, causing them to feel calm and steady in his
presence.

Panning his head over, Mu Chen looked towards Su Xuan. As his malevolent gaze
started to turn gentle, he said, “Senior Sister Su Xuan, are you alright?”

Hearing that, Su Xuan shook her head. Turning her head to look towards He Yao and
Yang Lin, her eyes turned reddish as she said, “But they’re seriously injured.”

Having his hand chopped off by Mu Feng earlier, blood continued to flow out from He
Yao’s severed stump. At this moment, Yang Lin was completely covered in blood,
giving off an exceedingly miserable appearance. Nevertheless, upon seeing Mu Chen’s
appearance, the both of them heaved a great breath of relief.

Hearing her reply, Mu Chen apologetically nodded his head towards them.

Squirming his body, He Yao leaned against a rock. Sending a smile with much
difficulty towards Mu Chen, he asked, “How confident are you?”

What he meant was naturally about how confident Mu Chen was to deal with the
situation before them. After all, he was extremely clear about exactly how
tyrannically strong Ji Xuan’s group was.

“With me here, they’ll not be able to hurt you all,” replied Mu Chen in a soft
voice.

“I’ll leave it to you, then…” He Yao slowly replied with a nod as he looked towards
the exceedingly dazzling youth before his eyes.

Slightly nodding, Mu Chen proceeded to raise his head up. At this moment, his gaze
turned emotionless and indifferent as he looked towards the figure present not far
away from him.
The figure standing over there had also casted his gaze over at the same time.

As their eyes interlocked, the ice-cold killing intent gushing from within appeared
to have caused even the air to start freezing.

“You’ve finally arrived, Mu Chen,” said Ji Xuan in a soft voice, with his hands
similarly tightly grabbing onto the throats of Shen Cangsheng and Li Xuantong.

“I came here to see what great show you’ve prepared for me. Would it be even more
spectacular than last time?” replied Mu Chen with a faint smile.

Hearing that, Ji Xuan started smiling as he said, “It shouldn’t leave you
disappointed.”

“I very much anticipate it,” replied Mu Chen slowly.

“Release Mu Feng!” Fierce cries rang out across the sky as the three remaining
members of the Saint Spiritual Academy group darkly stared at Mu Chen. Powerful
Spiritual Energies gushed from their bodies as they covetously stared at Mu Chen.

The cultivation realm of all three of them was at First Grade Spirit Disaster.
Although they were inferior to Mu Feng, they were absolutely not weak. Despite
this, Mu Chen appeared to have completely ignored the roars coming from them.

“Hmph!”

Seeing this, the eyes of the trio turned ice-cold. Exchanging glances with one
another, they each sent a palm patting out seemingly at the same instant. Boundless
Spiritual Energies swept from them, transforming into Spiritual Energy palm prints
that started to press down towards Mu Chen.

Despite this, Mu Chen appeared to have not moved even an inch.

Swish!

However, just as those Spiritual Energy palm prints were about to descend, a sharp
sword cry suddenly rang from across the sky, before three gigantic sword arcs
explosively shot over.

Puff!

As the sword lights howled over, they instantly sliced the three Spiritual Energy
palm prints into two, causing them to transform into glowing dots that blotted the
skies.
Whoosh!

Countless gazes shot towards the direction where those sword arcs had come from,
only to see two glowing figures rushing over at a speed akin to chasing the moon
and stars. Finally, two exquisite and beautiful figures appeared right by Mu Chen’s
side.

The two girls appeared graceful and elegant, while possessing flawlessly beautiful
appearances. Nevertheless, they caused people to feel shock and astonishment, with
even the somewhat frozen atmosphere in this region appearing to possess some luster
upon their appearance.

Seemingly all of the eyes had involuntarily shot over and converged onto them.

“That’s Wen Qingxuan!”

“The other girl… she’s called Luo Li, right? I know her. She’s the Queen Luo of the
Spiritual Road. At the end of the Spiritual Road, she had even caused Ji Xuan to
suffer serious injuries.”

“From the looks of it, they appear to be Mu Chen’s helpers. These two girls are
definitely not simple. If they were to genuinely take action, even Ji Xuan wouldn’t
dare to proclaim to have absolute confidence in victory. That’s why Mu Chen dared
to appear here.”

“……”

The appearance of the two girls had instantly caused even greater exclamations.
Compared to Mu Chen and Ji Xuan, they were even more attractive for their
attention.

Flanking beside Mu Chen, Luo Li and Wen Qingxuan shot a look at the former. Turning
their gazes to the front, they rested their eyes on Ji Xuan, who was standing not
too far away from them.

With her not having much previous contact with Ji Xuan, Wen Qingxuan was not
brimming with interest as she proceeded to size up the former. Being the arch-enemy
of Mu Chen, as well as the guy who had snatched first place from her, Wen Qingxuan
was exceedingly curious as to who this Ji Xuan was.

Compared to Wen Qingxuan, a calm and tranquil expression was present on Luo Li’s
face. Her pair of clear glass-like pupils shot a quiet look at Ji Xuan, with not a
single fluctuation present within that tranquil gaze of hers.

With Luo Li’s appearance, Ji Xuan’s gaze had immediately converged to her.
Nevertheless, though, the calm and tranquil beautiful eyes of the latter caused the
corner of his mouth to involuntarily twitch.

“It has been a while, Luo Li.” Suppressing the pounding within his heart, Ji Xuan
said in a slow manner.

Resting her beautiful eyes once more on Ji Xuan, Luo Li replied in a soft voice,
“Do you still remember what I’ve said to you at the end of the Spiritual Road?”

Hearing that, Ji Xuan’s pupils slightly narrowed, while his expression gradually
turned fierce.

That was a scene that he would never, ever forget. By forsaking everything, the
girl dressed in black had caused him and her to become mutually wounded.
Furthermore, at the very last moment, the girl did not pay any other kind of
attention other than to hurt him. WIth a calm voice, she had told him that his life
was Mu Chen’s to claim. That’s why she didn’t kill him…

“I believe that he will make you disappointed.” A dark shadow was present in Ji
Xuan’s eyes as he stared at Mu Chen, while the hands gripping the throats of Shen
Cangsheng and Li Xuantong started to grow uncontrollably tighter.

Hearing that, a faint smile that caused the hearts and souls of the people to stir
started to surface on her absolutely stunning face. With a gentle tone, she
replied, “You’ll be disappointed, as he’s stronger than you.”

Not one bit of ridicule was present in her gentle voice. Yet, that soft and light
tone caused the usually calm Ji Xuan to uncontrollably shiver, while a deep shade
of darkness was present on his handsome face. At this moment, greenish veins even
started to slowly surface on his arms.

Astonishment was present on the faces of Ji Xuan’s three group members as they set
their gazes on the current Ji Xuan. This truly was the first time that they had
seen the usually emotionless Ji Xuan show so much emotional fluctuations.

Every single gaze within this entire region moved around the trio of Mu Chen, Luo
Li and Ji Xuan. As if being able to discern something that had happened between
them, the faces of everyone present started to turn somewhat strange.

“Oh really? I’m really looking forward to it.”

Ji Xuan gave his reply. Taking a deep breath, Ji Xuan suppressed the anger and fury
within his heart, before turning his dark and sinister gaze towards Mu Chen. With a
smile he said, “ What do you have that’s stronger than me? Is it your Spiritual
Energy Disaster realm, or is it your strength?”

Hearing that, Mu Chen gave a laugh. Shaking Mu Feng that he had grasped within his
hand, he replied, “Let’s release the people in our hands. I don’t assume that you
would be that childish to resort to threats like this, right?”

At this moment, Ji Xuan had also laughed; however, it was one that didn’t contain
the slightest warmth at all. With a wave of his palm, he tossed Shen Cangsheng and
Li Xuantong away.

With a calm expression, Mu Chen tossed Mu Feng away, sending the latter flying
against a mountainous rock, smashing it into bits.

Miserably crawling out from the mountainous rock, an ashen expression was present
on Mu Feng’s face as he stared at Mu Chen. Nevertheless, though, he did not dare to
recklessly take action against the latter.

Seeing Shen Cangsheng and Li Xuantong being thrown away, Mu Chen hastily went
forward to assist them. The current appearance of the duo, being entirely covered
with blood, caused them to appear exceedingly miserable.

An expression brimming of apology and regret was present within Mu Chen’s eyes as
he looked towards the duo.

“There’s no need to say any unnecessary words. I’ll leave the rest to you. That
bastard’s very strong. If you don’t have assurance, we’ll just flee as quick as we
can. Better have more chances than to lose lives.” Words rang from a crack of Shen
Cangsheng’s mouth as he patted Mu Chen’s shoulder.

Hearing that, Mu Chen gave a laugh, before nodding his head.

Whoosh! Whoosh!

The whooshing sounds within the region grew louder and louder. Looking over, the
entire mountain range and plains around were filled with figures. With seemingly
all of the powerful groups that have participated in the Great Spiritual Academy
Tournament being attracted towards this location.

With an indifferent expression on his face, Ji Xuan cleaned away the bloodstains
present on his palms. Raising his head, he took a look at the figures that covered
the surrounding mountain range and plains, before giving a soft clap.

“The Mu Chen Elimination Operation begins.”

Chapter 579 - Revealing Cards

Within this vast region, numerous figures were present, blotting the skies and
covering the land. However, these figures were split far away from each other as
they stood in the air, appearing to be vigilant and cautious about each other.
The black sea of humans stood in the air, extending into the distance, with clear
layers of separation between them.

Due the enormous crowd, the Spiritual Energies radiating from their bodies dyed the
entire region in a rainbow shade, causing an especially gorgeous and magnificent
scene to appear before people’s eyes.

At this moment, gazes shooting from all across the sky were locked onto the vast
stretch of area before them, where two groups of people were in confrontation
against each other.

As of now, the group led by Ji Xuan was, without a doubt, the strongest group
amongst all of those that were present here. Furthermore, the most important thing
was that Ji Xuan’s strength was deep, unfathomable and hard to grasp.

Seemingly since the start of the Great Spiritual Academy Tournament till now, Ji
Xuan had yet to experience a single defeat. Faced against any opponent, he would
always sweep them over as if he was brushing away dried twigs, appearing to be
seemingly invincible.

Faced against a monstrous talent like him, there might not be anyone within the
entire Great Spiritual Academy Tournament that would not have fear and dread
towards him.

However, although Ji Xuan’s strong and powerful, Mu Chen and his group weren't any
run-of-the-mill characters, either. Without mentioning about the 2nd placed Wen
Qingxuan and just talking about Mu Chen, his fame and reputation had recently
skyrocketed, appearing just like a black horse that no one could underestimate.

As for Luo Li, she had always kept a low profile. Nevertheless, everyone who had an
understanding of her would know that she was a girl whose appearance and
temperament was not one bit inferior to Wen Qingxuan. Other than that, she also
possessed a rather frightening level of strength.

The triangle formed by the trio possessed a level of might that would be absolutely
more than sufficient to cause people to smack their lips.

Therefore, when these two groups of people were to undergo a head-on confrontation,
there would be a great deal of people who would want to know exactly which group
would be able to gain an advantage.

Therefore, upon seeing Ji Xuan waving his hand down with indifference, the
expression of everyone present in the entire region tensed up, with their bodies
slowly following suit.

With his hand hanging by his side, a calm and tranquil expression continued to be
present on his handsome face. Aside from him, Wen Qingxuan and Luo Li had gradually
started to clench the war spear and longsword respectively in their hands.

The Mu Chen Eliminate Operation…

Just from the words alone, one could tell that it was specifically crafted to
target Mu Chen.

Humm. Humm.

Gales blew across the air, bringing along humming sounds. Although all of the
powerful groups within the Great Spiritual Academy Tournament had gathered over
here, the entire region appeared so silent that one could hear the sounds of the
wind blowing.

“Haha. What a really lively place.”

The atmosphere within the region, which had appeared to have frozen over, did not
continue for long, as a clear and refreshing laughter suddenly rang out, shattering
the ice apart.

Whoosh!

Everyone’s gazes seemingly turned over in an instant, caused their eyes to look
towards a mountain peak in the far distance. As spiritual light flashed at that
place, multiple figures slowly surfaced from within.

Standing right in front of the group of figures was a youth dressed in green robes.
As the long hair flowed from the head of the youth, he gave off an exceedingly
confident and natural appearance. As people looked over, the rampant winds blowing
across the region suddenly turned even more fierce and hurried. Unexpectedly, the
rampant winds that blotted the skies started to converge towards his location,
before transforming into a howling tornado.

“That’s…”

People’s eyes proceeded to look towards the chest of the green-robed youth, where a
green-coloured Academy Insignia was present. A vast, endless dark-green universe
was present there, indicative of Academy Insignia of one of the five Great
Academies, the Azure Heavens Spiritual Academy!

“That’s the Azure Heavens Spiritual Academy’s Liu Qingyun!”

“It’s actually the 4th place Liu Qingyun!”

“So it turns out that Ji Xuan has secretly invited him over?”

Following the appearance of those figures, waves of uproar instantly erupted across
the entire region. Among the entire Great Spiritual Academy Tournament, Liu Qingyun
was similarly an expert at the very peak. Currently placing 4th on the point
rankings was more than sufficient to show his strength and power. Such a person
possessed similar qualifications to contend for hegemony. However, who would have
guessed that Ji Xuan was able to invite him over?

“Liu Qingyun!” Shooting a slightly cold gaze towards the figure with her beautiful
eyes, Wen Qingxuan said in a cold voice, “Looks like you want to interfere in
today’s matter, huh.”

Sweeping his gaze over, Liu Qingyun sent a faint smile towards Wen Qingxuan, before
replying, “Qingxuan, Mu Chen had gone somewhat overboard in this matter. Therefore,
you can’t blame me.”

“I’m not familiar with you, so you better not call me like that. If not, don’t
blame me for being discourteous,” said Wen Qingxuan in an indifferent tone as her
beautiful eyes slightly drooped down.

“In any case, we’ve collaborated before…” Liu Qingyun replied with a frown.
Proceeding to shoot a look towards Mu Chen, an ambiguous shade flashed across his
face, before saying, “Furthermore… it’s extremely rare for me to see you walk so
close to somebody…”

Hearing that, a sparkle flashed within Mu Chen’s eyes. Shooting a look towards Wen
Qingxuan, he gave a helpless laugh, before saying in a teasing fashion, “I finally
understand what a femme fatale is.”

Clearly, Liu Qingyun had known Wen Qingxuan before. Furthermore, from his tone of
his voice, one would be hard-pressed to not discover the fancy that was obviously
present towards the latter. Perhaps, a large reason for him accepting Ji Xuan’s
request to take action to deal with Mu Chen might stem from his envy and jealousy.

After all, he had some understanding towards Wen Qingxuan’s temperament, knowing
that the latter would absolutely not have any close contact with males. Even during
the previous time where they needed to collaborate, she had only done her part,
before immediately leaving once her goal was accomplished, not giving Liu Qingyun
any chance to strike the metal when its hot.

Therefore, this was the first time Liu Qingyun had see Wen Qingxuan collaborating
with a male for so long, and would even not hesitate to go against a thorny
character like Ji Xuan for his sake.

“Mu Chen! If you dare to speak anymore nonsense, do you believe that I will not
trample you to death?!” Wen Qingxuan’s willowy eyebrows immediately turned slightly
vertical. Staring right at Mu Chen, she proceeded to clench her teeth and growled.

Hearing that Mu Chen immediately laughed.

“With Liu Qingyun added in, this isn't good news for us,” said Luo Li in a soft
voice as she looked towards Mu Chen. The people they had defeated earlier, like Lu
Tian and Wu Jiang, were not a match for this Liu Qingyun. The latter was like them,
coming from one of the five Great Academies, and was even a genius from the Wind
Spirit Clan. He was extremely strong, be it his talent or his background. If he
wanted to help Ji Xuan, this would create quite a bit of pressure for Mu Chen and
his group.

Hearing that, Mu Chen nodded his head and replied, “Furthermore, I’m afraid that Ji
Xuan still has more in store for us…”

Ji Xuan stood in the air not far away, a calm and tranquil gaze still present
within his eyes as he looked towards Mu Chen. Without any ripples of shock or
astonishment present on his face, he raised his hand once more, before giving a
gentle wave down.

“Brother Fang Yun, please reveal yourself.”

As Ji Xuan’s indifferent-sounding voice rang out, a chill seemed to have blown

across the expressions of quite a few people. Fang Yun? Could it be that Nine
Cauldrons Spiritual Academy’s Fang Yun, who’s currently the 6th place on the point
rankings?

“Cough. Look’s like this can be considered as the most spectacular confrontation
within the entirety of the Great Spiritual Academy Tournament before the final
match. Therefore, it would be extremely regretful if I’m absent at here.” As Ji
Xuan’s voice rang out, a laughter rang out. Everyone’s sight converged over, only
to see the sea of humans suddenly part there, before multiple figures slowly walked
out from within.

The person standing in the lead was dressed in white robes, while having a delicate
and effeminate appearance. His hair had an ash-grey colour to it, while his pair of
eyes appeared exceedingly radiant. At this moment, a faint smile was present on his
face as he looked over to the stretch of land before him, where the seas of humans
had converged to.

An Academy Insignia was similarly present on his chest, with the image of nine
cauldrons present on it.

That was the mark of the Nine Cauldrons Spiritual Academy. A hundred years ago, the
Nine Cauldrons Spiritual Academy was once a member of the five Great Academies.
Falling into decline thereafter, it had resulted in them losing the title of being
one of the five Great Academies. Nevertheless, though, the Nine Cauldrons Spiritual
Academy similarly possessed exceedingly astonishing might. The group they had sent
to participate in the Great Spiritual Academy Tournament and being about to obtain
the 6th place on the point rankings were more than sufficient to confirm that fact.

Not surprisingly, Fang Yun’s appearance had caused waves of clamoring to erupt,
with shock and astonishment appearing in the gazes of quite a few people.The people
that Ji Xuan had invited over were all peak-level characters that possessed the
qualifications to contend for the 8 quotas present for the final match.

From the looks of it, Ji Xuan truly had came prepared. He truly wanted to
completely destroy Mu Chen and his group.

Gazes that blotted the sky all converged onto Mu Chen, with ambiguous expressions
present within their eyes. At this moment, no one really knew if the latter would
be able to make a proper retreat under such a line-up prepared by Ji Xuan.

“Mu Chen, are you satisfied in the show I’ve prepared just for you?” said Ji Xuan
with a faint smile as he looked towards Mu Chen. “If you’re not satisfied…”

As his voice rang out, he extended his slender palms and gave a gentle clap.

Seeing that action, the eyelids of the crowd around could not help rapidly
twitching, while shock overwhelmed their hearts. Could it be that this hasn’t come
to an end?

Whoosh!

As Ji Xuan’s clap rang out, a blood-red shade suddenly swept across from the
distant horizon. Appearing as blood-red akin to a river of blood, it swept across
the horizon, before rushing towards the region populated by the attentive gazes of
countless experts.

Seeing the river of blood, Mu Chen’s eyes instantly, slightly narrowed, while
chilling intent gushed from the beautiful eyes of Luo Li standing beside him.

As the river of blood dissipated away, multiple figures appeared in a flash from
within. Those figures were dressed in blood-red robes, with a familiar-looking face
located in their midst. That was precisely the person that had escaped from the
Divine Wood Palace after being injured by Mu Chen, Xue Tiandou.

At this moment, Xue Tiandou was sending a dark and sinister gaze towards Mu Chen.
Nevertheless, though, he clearly wasn’t the main character there, as a youth with
blood-red hair stood right before him.

This youth also wore a set of blood-red robes. Sweeping his red, malevolent eyes
over, he finally rested his gaze onto Luo Li’s body, before saying with a faint
smile, “It truly has been a long time, Luo Li.”
Tightly clenching her Luo Shen Sword, Luo Li’s clear and beautiful eyes were
brimming with chilling intent. As her red lips slightly parted, a clear and cold
voice rang out from within, “Xue Tianhe, I never imagined that even you, the third
prince of the Blood God Clan would come over here.”

“For you, the future Empress of the Luo God Clan, it won’t be overboard for any of
our Blood God Clan to come over,” replied the youth by the name of Xue Tianhe with
a smile.

Within the entire region, quite a few gazes fluctuated between shock and doubt as
they looked towards this Xue Tianhe. Although this name had yet to appear in the
Top 16, anyone would be able to sense the pressure brought about by him, which was
not the slightest bit weaker than Liu Qingyun or Fang Yun.

All three of these figures were of the heavyweight-class.

For the sake of dealing with Mu Chen, Ji Xuan had truly done his homework. All of
the people that he had called out to absolutely possessed the qualifications to
contend for the final match quotas. They were the true figures at the peak of the
Great Spiritual Academy Tournament.

“Mu Chen…”

A warm and gentle smile surfaced once again on Ji Xuan’s handsome face. Looking
towards Mu Chen and his group, who were surrounded on all sides, he said in a slow
manner, “Are you satisfied with my preparations?”

Gazes blotting the skies all shot towards Mu Chen. Faced against such a frightening
line-up, even formidable characters like Mu Chen, Luo Li and Wen Qingxuan should
feel extreme pressure.

This wasn’t a good situation to break.

The cards that Ji Xuan had brought out all possessed extreme might.

Faced against this situation, what would Mu Chen do?

Under the countless attentive gazes shooting over, Mu Chen slowly raised his head.
At this moment, there curiously wasn’t much shock or fear present on his handsome
face. On the contrary, a faint smile had surfaced on it, before his soft voice rang
out.

“Are you done already?”

Despite not sounding deep, when this voice entered the ears of the masses, it
caused their hearts to violently shudder.

“Are you done?”

As Mu Chen’s voice softly rang out, the clamoring originally present within the
entire region turned silent once again, with quite a few people looking in shock
and astonishment at Mu Chen. That’s because they were unable to see much of any
shock or fear present on the latter’s face.

This made everyone feel stupefied. Could it be that Mu Chen’s still not clear about
the current situation he was in? Faced against a line-up with the likes of Ji Xuan,
Liu Qingyun, Fang Yun, as well as that Xue Tianhe and their groups, even with Mu
Chen, Luo Li and Wen Qingxuan, they shouldn’t be able to contend against them,
right?

There’s no one present here that would underestimate the might the trio of Mu Chen,
Luo Li and Wen Qingxuan possessed. However, this could also be absolutely said
towards the line-up the trio was up against. Each of the people Ji Xuan had invited
over were heavyweight figures, and this wasn’t a joke.

However, even in such a spot, there was still not a change of expression on Mu
Chen’s face. What does this mean? Is he truly clueless about his current situation,
or does he possess something that can make him so confident in facing such a line-
up?

If it was the latter, it was inevitable for some people finding it hard to believe.

After giving some thought about it, the gazes of some people started to faint
sparkle. Being able to cause a monstrous talent like Ji Xuan to have so much fear
and dread of him, it was clearly that Mu Chen wasn’t an ignorant person.

Since Mu Chen wasn’t having any fear or dread due to ignorance, there’s only one
explanation that fits the picture, which was that he had made a similar form of
preparation, too.

Such a thought caused the hearts of quite a few people to slightly tremble, while a
weird shadow appeared within the gazes that had focused on the exceedingly calm
youth before their eyes.

Naturally, they weren’t the only ones that were in shock and doubt. Even the
heavyweight characters like Liu Qingyun, Xue Tianhe and Fang Yun slightly narrowed
their eyes in response, a sparkling glint present within their eyes as they rested
their sights on Mu Chen’s body.
“Looks like you’ve long expected my preparations?” Ji Xuan’s eyes had similarly
contracted. Looking towards Mu Chen, he said with a faint smile.

“Being opponents for so many years, how would I not understand these methods of
yours?” replied Mu Chen with a faint smile as he looked straight back at Ji Xuan.

“Oh?” Hearing that, Ji Xuan’s eyebrows twitched, before saying with a smile, “Since
it’s the case, I really want to see what kind of preparation you can make.”

“It’s isn’t some shocking preparation, merely that there are many experts present
in this Great Spiritual Academy Tournament. Since you’re able to invite heavyweight
figures, how can I not do anything in this regard?” replied Mu Chen with a smile.

As his voice rang out, Mu Chen turned around. Looking towards the sea of humans
that had extended endlessly across the horizon, he said with a clear voice and a
smile, “Please show yourselves, Brother Wu Ling, Brother Wen.”

As Mu Chen’s voice rang out, the entire region turned silent, before a slightly
helpless-sounding voice slowly rang out from within the sea of humans. “Mu Chen,
this collaboration of yours really is a little spicy.”

As the voice slowly cracked apart from the sea of humans, a group of figures slowly
walked out. The figure in the lead was a youth with a delicate and effeminate
appearance. He was impressively Wu Ling from the Martial Spiritual Academy.

Wu Yingying stood quietly behind him, her pair of beautiful eyes trained on Mu Chen
standing not far away from him as she muttered, “Really what a worrisome fellow.”

Standing right beside Wu Ling was yet another youth, one who had an incomparably
ordinary appearance, and appearing unassuming in any aspect. At this moment, a
harmless-looking smile was present on his face. A hand was revealed from one of his
sleeves, appearing especially abnormal, as an exceedingly white luster was
radiating from it. This caused it to appear as if it was made of gemstones, causing
people to have a feeling of being unable to pull their gazes away.

“That’s the current 3rd place in the point rankings, the Martial Spiritual
Academy’s Wu Ling?”

“There’s also Wen Bushen, the group currently in 8th place. It seems that they have
been at those rankings for a very long time. Although they have yet to rise up,
they have yet to drop below the 8th place.”

“Indeed, Mu Chen had made preparations for this, to actually invite two heavyweight
figures of his own own.”
Upon the appearance of Wu Ling and Wen Bushen, waves of clamoring instantly erupted
across the entire region, while quite a few people sighed in admiration within
their hearts. From the looks of it, this entire matter had truly turned
interesting. Both parties had unleashed their remarkable abilities and invited
heavyweight figures out. The line-up for both sides might be considered as the
strongest within the entire Great Spiritual Academy Tournament.

The few groups that were invited over had the greatest possibility to become the
groups that would qualify for the final match.

Looking towards Wu Ling and Wen Bushen, Mu Chen cupped his hands in gratitude
towards them. During those few days of hunting, not only did he pluck out the fangs
and claws of Ji Xuan, he had similarly sought out allies that could collaborate
with him. After all, being all too familiar with Ji Xuan, if the latter wanted to
deal with his group without any restraint, he would definitely pull other
heavyweight groups to his side.

Therefore, he similarly needed to make some preparations of his own.

From the looks of the current situation, Ji Xuan had pulled Liu Qingyun, Fang Yun
and Xue Tianhe, while Mu Chen had Wen Qingxuan, Luo Li, Wu Ling, as well as Wen
Bushen. With Mu Chen himself added in, the latter’s line-up could be termed as
perfect.

The lineups on both sides were absolutely the best of the best within the Great
Spiritual Academy Tournament. The scene right before their eyes had caused the
blood within quite a few people to show signs of surging and boiling.

This up the beat for the final match.

“I never expect that you would actually team up with Mu Chen, Wu Ling.”

A chill suffused through Ji Xuan’s eyes as he rested his gaze onto Wu Ling. Indeed,
he had not expected that the latter would actually come together with Mu Chen.
After all, Mu Chen’s relationship with Wu Ling while on the Spiritual Road couldn’t
be considered to be close.

“. Don’t look at me like that. I’m also just here to even the field.” A smile
surfaced on Wu Ling’s effeminate face as he gave his reply. Turning around and
looking at Wu Yingying standing beside him, his mouth slightly twitched in
helplessness. Although he admired Mu Chen, he did not have any plan to into the war
between the latter and Ji Xuan, when the latter had sought him out. It was merely
due to him being unable to endure Wu Yingying’s nagging that he finally conceded
and accepted to help.

“. You’re short-sighted. Don’t you know what kind of person Ji Xuan is? That fellow
has extremely big ambitions. If he manages to deal with Mu Chen, we might not be
able to escape from his future plans. For the sake of clinching the Championship,
that fellow would sweep anyone that obstructs his path with no mercy at all.”
Seeing Wu Ling’s expression, Wu Yingying could not help coldly snorting out.

“Are these really the only reasons?” asked Wu Ling in a teasing manner.

“What else are you thinking about?” Wu Yingying growled, her willowy eyebrows
turning slightly vertical as a pinkish shade flashed across her fair complexion.
Nevertheless, she still opened her bright and beautiful eyes to shoot a fierce
glare towards Wu Ling.

Hearing her growls, Wu Ling gave a dry cough. He was completely helpless against
this crafty and unruly younger sister of his. Thus, the only choice he could do was
to turn towards Ji Xuan, before saying with a smile, “Ji Xuan, you’ve really blown
the matter up. From what I can see, if our two lineups were to really duke it out.
I believe that both parties would pay quite a high price…”

“To pay this price, there’s a very high possibility that there will be some people
that would lose the qualifications to get promoted into the final match.”

As Wu Ling’s clear voice rang out across the sky, it immediately caused the eyes of
the heavyweight helpers invited by both parties to sparkle. After all, all of them
were clear that both sides were absolutely not easy to deal with. If they were to
really duke it out, they might have to pay an extremely high price as a result.

Regardless of Ji Xuan or Mu Chen, such a price was clearly not too worthwhile. Due
to the grudges and grievances between the two, they could call for help and
reinforcements, but they would not go so far as to throw their lives for the two’s
cause.

Slightly narrowing his eyes to look at Wu Ling, Ji Xuan proceeded to shoot a look
at Mu Chen, before saying with a faint smile, “Do you have any good suggestions,
Captain Wu Ling?”

“Everyone takes a step back, pack up and go home, before really duking it out in
the final match,” replied Wu Ling with a grin.

As his words rang out, quite a few groups instantly gawked. Could it be that the
astonishing lineups from both sides would just pack up and retreat like that? Is
this a joke? Did they gather their heavyweight allies over just to be dazzling eye-
candy?

Hearing that, Mu Chen only gave a faint smile, declining to give any comment to it.

Ji Xuan similarly gave only a smile in response. Sweeping his gaze over, he finally
rested his eyes on Mu Chen before saying, “I also believe that it isn’t worthwhile
to start the final match here. However, since everyone’s here, there’s still things
that are needed to be done.”
“Mu Chen. Since today’s matter is started with the two of us, how makes us
concluding it sound for you?”

As those words from Ji Xuan rang out, it caused the hearts of quite a few people to
instantly shudder. With the relatively similar line-up between the two, it wasn’t
likely for a group battle to erupt. Furthermore, the line-up brought together by Ji
Xuan was already unable to provide much threat to Mu Chen. Since it was the case,
the only thing he could do was to toss away his helpers and personally grace the
stage.

However, such a scene still needed to be constructed by Ji Xuan. The majority of

the reason why he had feared and dread in Mu Chen was due to Luo Li and Wen
Qingxuan. However, from the looks of it, that fear and dread had been suppressed in
the current situation.

After all, if Luo Li and Wen Qingxuan still wanted to help Mu Chen take action at
this moment, the few heavyweight helpers that Ji Xuan had invited over would not
stand back and watch without taking action.

A chilling glint had glazed over Luo Li’s beautiful eyes, due to her clear
understanding Ji Xuan’s plan. So it turns out that this fellow’s plan all along has
been to force Mu Chen into a duel with him.

From a certain perspective, the current Ji Xuan was indeed extremely powerful.
Although she knew that a fight would definitely happen between Mu Chen and Ji Xuan,
she did not wish for this to happen now, as Mu Chen’s cultivation has yet to truly
reach the realm of Spirit Disaster.

As of now, if Mu Chen crossed hands with Ji Xuan, it wouldn't be advantageous for

him.

This was something that Ji Xuan was clear about. Therefore, he had unleashed all of
these schemes to force Mu Chen to take action. That way, he would be able to force
Mu Chen to completely fluster up, resulting in the loss of his most thorny
opponent.

Chilling covered Luo Li’s beautiful face. In the next instant, tightly grasping her
Luo God Sword, she took a step forward. Nevertheless, she was stopped by Mu Chen,
who had extended his hand to obstruct her.

Slightly shaking his head towards her, the youth proceeded to raise his head to
look towards Ji Xuan. An incisive smile started to surface on his handsome face,
before he slowly nodded his head under the countless attentive gazes shooting over.

“Let’s do as you wish.”

Chapter 581 - Earth-Shattering Confrontation

“As you wish.”

When Mu Chen’s voice spreads to the horizon, experts of all sorts abruptly shrank
their eyes as they looked at the mysterious and slender youth. Mu Chen’s acceptance
of the challenge was out of their expectations.

However, anyone could see from the current situation that Ji Xuan was forcing Mu
Chen to fight with him alone. With Mu Chen’s cultivation at Spiritual Energy
Disaster, he was on the weaker side.

Perhaps Mu Chen had the means to compensate for that weakness. However, that could
only be used on ordinary experts. Facing the monstrous Ji Xuan, he would understand
how hard it was to compensate for the gap between them.

Who dared to say that Ji Xuan did not have his own means as well?

“Mu Chen.”

Xu Huang and the rest looked at Mu Chen with worry. Shen Cangsheng and Li Xuantong
also exchanged looks with their brows furrowed. Clearly, they were not in favor of
Mu Chen’s fight with Ji Xuan.

Earlier, when they confronted Ji Xuan, they understood very well what sort of
horrifying strength that youth possessed.

Wen Qingxuan took a glance at Mu Chen, her rosy lips quivered. However, her
expression was heavy as she maintained her silence without a word. She knew that
the current Ji Xuan could not be compared to all the other opponents that Mu Chen
had encountered so far.

“That fool.” Wu Yingying could not help grinding her pearly-white teeth as she
heavily stomped her feet.

“, if he is a fool, then the amount of normal people could be numbered.” Wu Ling

laughed as he turned his head towards Wen Busheng, who was wearing a harmless smile
that stood beside him, with a smile as he asked, “What is Brother Wen’s view on
this?”

Wen Busheng originated from the Undefeated Spiritual Academy. Although the name of
the Spirit Academy was extremely lavish, the reputation of the Spiritual Academy
was extremely low. The strength of that Spiritual Academy was barely fulfilling the
Great Spiritual Academy Tournament. But no one could have imagined that this youth
from that particular Spiritual Academy could lead his team to Rank 8 in the point
rankings.
It was not an easy task to achieve such a feat as it was a qualification to partake
in the finals. Thus, many teams had targeted their team, but not a single one had
succeeded in their objective.

The result made it clear that this team from a small-sized Spiritual Academy was
the biggest black horse in this tournament.

Hearing Wu Ling’s words, Wen Busheng’s harmless smile that hung on his face
slightly froze as he replied, “Ji Xuan is very formidable.”

As he spoke, he made a pause before continuing his words, “However, Mu Chen… is

very hard to deal with. Despite the fact that he only possesses the cultivation of
Spiritual Energy Disaster, I could feel that the danger coming from him is not any
weaker compared to Ji Xuan.”

“This confrontation… will be very interesting. But the outcome would have to depend
on Mu Chen’s performance.”

Hearing his evaluation, Wu Ling smiled as he lightly nodded his head. He focused
his attention onto that area as he mumbled, “This will be very interesting…”

Under the countless gazes of all sorts, Mu Chen slowly moved forth.

Ji Xuan was looking at Mu Chen with both of his eyes narrowed from smiling as his
gaze flickered, “You are truly extraordinary to have made it this far with your
cultivation of Spiritual Energy Disaster.”

Mu Chen was also staring back at Ji Xuan. However, he did not speak a word as he
flew up into the horizon with a stomp of his feet, standing in the sky. Clenching
his fist, black-colored lightning surged out of his body, bring along the roaring
of thunder.

“Let’s go, I will take a look at how much you have improved all these years.” Mu
Chen said as he slowly extended his palm out.

Ji Xuan smiled in response without any warmth. In the next instant, everyone could
clearly see torrential Spiritual Energy sweeping out of his body.

Rumble! Rumble!

Majestic and powerful Spiritual Energy swept out like the ocean, bring along
rumbling sounds. Spiritual Energy pressure also spread out as it engulfed the
horizon.
Everyone’s faces slightly changed at the Spiritual Energy pressure as it made their
bodies feel heavier.

The Spiritual Energy cultivation that was displayed by Ji Xuan was at Second Grade
Spirit Disaster. However, he clearly already possessed the qualification to attempt
to break through the Third Grade Spirit Disaster. Thus, ordinary Second Grade
Spirit Disasters were not his opponents.

“What powerful Spiritual Energy.”

Someone could not restrain themselves from muttering in a soft voice. In the
current Great Spiritual Academy Tournament, those with Second Grade Spirit Disaster
were the top tiers. However, the current Ji Xuan that stood before them had already
surpassed that level and would come in contact with Third Grade Spirit Disaster
very soon.

The moment he made a breakthrough to the Third Grade Spirit Disaster, the last step
that countless people have yearned for would be right before him, the Sovereign
Realm!

Mu Chen stared at Ji Xuan, who had powerful Spiritual Energy circulates around him.
However, there wasn’t any astonishment displayed on his face as it wasn’t
surprising for Ji Xuan to possess such strength with his talent.

Rumble!

The lightning around Mu Chen became increasingly dense as lightning gathered at his
chest, slowly forming into six lightning runes. In that instant, the entire sky
turned dark as it seemed as if lightning bolts were swimming about in the sky.

As the black lightning traveled across Mu Chen’s body, he also emitted powerful
strength that could flatten a mountain range.

Mu Chen stood in the sky, the Spiritual Energy around him wasn’t as powerful when
compared to Ji Xuan, but the veins underneath his skin were wiggled as if they were
worms. His physical body quietly jolted as the energy ripples exploded the space
around him.

“He actually managed to cultivate his physical body to such a degree…”

Hovering on the sky far away, Liu Qingyun looked at the ripples of energy around Mu
Chen as a flash of astonishment flickered in his eyes. His gaze was even heavier as
he stared at Mu Chen.

Before achieving the Sovereign Realm, it was extremely hard to cultivate the
physical body. It was much harder compared to cultivating Spiritual Energy. Thus,
it was the reason why not that many people paid so much time to cultivate their
physical body before achieving the Sovereign Realm.

“I wonder if your physical body can withstand the impact of my Spiritual Energy?”
Ji Xuan faintly smiled as he stared at Mu Chen.

“We’ll know after we try.” Mu Chen extended his palm as he made a provoking
gesture.

“Such courage you have.”

Ji Xuan’s mouth curled into a cold arc as his gaze turned colder. No one saw him
moving, but the torrential Spiritual Energy swept forth like an ocean. Spiritual
Energy attacks amounting to a dozen shot forth with astonishing speed at the size
of roughly a thousand feet. With a flash, it had already arrived above Mu Chen.

“Sacred Light Wheel!”

Ji Xuan clenched his fist as the dozen Spiritual Energy attacks combined together,
forming into a Sacred Light Wheel that measured up to a thousand feet above Mu
Chen. As the light wheel spun, it turned into a light as it flew down with some
rustling sounds coming from it.

Ji Xuan was clearly vicious with his means as he did not show any signs of movement
to hint his attack.

Lightning exploded on the surface of Mu Chen’s body. He clenched his fist as black
lightning runes slowly extended onto his arm as he threw a fist out.

Rumble!

The roars of lightning shook the horizon.

A colossal black light flew from Mu Chen’s fist as it roared, which resounded
throughout the horizon, clashing against the light wheel.

Boom!

Black and white light tangled together up in the sky, before it dissolved, turning
into a violent storm that swept out.

As the storm swept out, Mu Chen’s figure abruptly disappeared from his original
location.
Rustle!

Mu Chen’s figure reappeared at the rear of Ji Xuan. There wasn’t any expression
worn on his face as he quickly made that instantly made a starry sky form behind
him.

“Four Gods Constellation Scripture!”

“Lightning God’s Fist!”

Mu Chen sent out images of beasts with his left hand, while his right sent out
lightning. Two tyrannical attacks instantly engulfed Ji Xuan.

“Sacred Light Shield.”

Ji Xuan extended his hand as brilliant white light gathered, before turning into a
huge shield. On the shield, it was filled with sacred runes that made it look
impregnable.

Boom!

Mu Chen’s tyrannical attack heavily clashed against the shield. However, he was not
able to pierce through it, only able to make the light shield slightly shake.

Ji Xuan’s methods vastly outstripped all of his opponents in the past. Not only did
he possess powerful Spiritual Energy, the technique in which he cultivated in was
also not your ordinary stuff. His fighting strength was acclaimed as the peak of
perfection.

“Sacred Light’s Hand!”

After withstanding Mu Chen’s attack, Ji Xuan pushed his palm out as the gigantic
Sacred Light’s Hand appeared above Mu Chen as it slammed down, causing the nearby
air to explode from the force.

Boom!

Another black lightning soared into the sky as it confronted the Sacred Light’s
Hand.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The exchange of the two people was extremely fast. In just a dozen breath’s time,
they had already exchanged dozens of moves. Black light exploded as the sacred
light dissipated, causing the entire horizon to be dark and distorted from the two
horrifying attacks.

Countless gazes filled with shock were directed towards the fierce exchange between
the two, to the point that even a few experts that had broken through to Second
Grade Spirit Disaster had the corner of their mouths twitching, since the exchange
was simply too terrifying.

During their exchange, Mu Chen was clearly taking more hits. However, with his
powerful physical body, he managed to withstand it. Therefore, neither side was on
the advantageous side in their fight.

“There won't be any outcome if the two of them were to continue in such a manner,”
said Wu Ling as he watched the battle from afar.

Wen Busheng lightly nodded his head. Shortly after, his eyes instantly shrunk as he
slowly spoke, “So they must reveal some of their cards.”

When Wen Busheng spoke, white light abruptly gathered in the sky that looked like a
blazing sun that was shone onto the land, along with fearsome Spiritual Energy
ripples soaring into the sky.

Chapter 580 - Confront

“Are you done?”

As Mu Chen’s voice softly rang out, the clamoring originally present within the
entire region turned silent once again, with quite a few people looking in shock
and astonishment at Mu Chen. That’s because they were unable to see much of any
shock or fear present on the latter’s face.

This made everyone feel stupefied. Could it be that Mu Chen’s still not clear about
the current situation he was in? Faced against a line-up with the likes of Ji Xuan,
Liu Qingyun, Fang Yun, as well as that Xue Tianhe and their groups, even with Mu
Chen, Luo Li and Wen Qingxuan, they shouldn’t be able to contend against them,
right?

There’s no one present here that would underestimate the might the trio of Mu Chen,
Luo Li and Wen Qingxuan possessed. However, this could also be absolutely said
towards the line-up the trio was up against. Each of the people Ji Xuan had invited
over were heavyweight figures, and this wasn’t a joke.
However, even in such a spot, there was still not a change of expression on Mu
Chen’s face. What does this mean? Is he truly clueless about his current situation,
or does he possess something that can make him so confident in facing such a line-
up?

If it was the latter, it was inevitable for some people finding it hard to believe.

After giving some thought about it, the gazes of some people started to faint
sparkle. Being able to cause a monstrous talent like Ji Xuan to have so much fear
and dread of him, it was clearly that Mu Chen wasn’t an ignorant person.

Since Mu Chen wasn’t having any fear or dread due to ignorance, there’s only one
explanation that fits the picture, which was that he had made a similar form of
preparation, too.

Such a thought caused the hearts of quite a few people to slightly tremble, while a
weird shadow appeared within the gazes that had focused on the exceedingly calm
youth before their eyes.

Naturally, they weren’t the only ones that were in shock and doubt. Even the
heavyweight characters like Liu Qingyun, Xue Tianhe and Fang Yun slightly narrowed
their eyes in response, a sparkling glint present within their eyes as they rested
their sights on Mu Chen’s body.

“Looks like you’ve long expected my preparations?” Ji Xuan’s eyes had similarly
contracted. Looking towards Mu Chen, he said with a faint smile.

“Being opponents for so many years, how would I not understand these methods of
yours?” replied Mu Chen with a faint smile as he looked straight back at Ji Xuan.

“Oh?” Hearing that, Ji Xuan’s eyebrows twitched, before saying with a smile, “Since
it’s the case, I really want to see what kind of preparation you can make.”

“It’s isn’t some shocking preparation, merely that there are many experts present
in this Great Spiritual Academy Tournament. Since you’re able to invite heavyweight
figures, how can I not do anything in this regard?” replied Mu Chen with a smile.

As his voice rang out, Mu Chen turned around. Looking towards the sea of humans
that had extended endlessly across the horizon, he said with a clear voice and a
smile, “Please show yourselves, Brother Wu Ling, Brother Wen.”

As Mu Chen’s voice rang out, the entire region turned silent, before a slightly
helpless-sounding voice slowly rang out from within the sea of humans. “Mu Chen,
this collaboration of yours really is a little spicy.”
As the voice slowly cracked apart from the sea of humans, a group of figures slowly
walked out. The figure in the lead was a youth with a delicate and effeminate
appearance. He was impressively Wu Ling from the Martial Spiritual Academy.

Wu Yingying stood quietly behind him, her pair of beautiful eyes trained on Mu Chen
standing not far away from him as she muttered, “Really what a worrisome fellow.”

Standing right beside Wu Ling was yet another youth, one who had an incomparably
ordinary appearance, and appearing unassuming in any aspect. At this moment, a
harmless-looking smile was present on his face. A hand was revealed from one of his
sleeves, appearing especially abnormal, as an exceedingly white luster was
radiating from it. This caused it to appear as if it was made of gemstones, causing
people to have a feeling of being unable to pull their gazes away.

“That’s the current 3rd place in the point rankings, the Martial Spiritual
Academy’s Wu Ling?”

“There’s also Wen Bushen, the group currently in 8th place. It seems that they have
been at those rankings for a very long time. Although they have yet to rise up,
they have yet to drop below the 8th place.”

“Indeed, Mu Chen had made preparations for this, to actually invite two heavyweight
figures of his own own.”

Upon the appearance of Wu Ling and Wen Bushen, waves of clamoring instantly erupted
across the entire region, while quite a few people sighed in admiration within
their hearts. From the looks of it, this entire matter had truly turned
interesting. Both parties had unleashed their remarkable abilities and invited
heavyweight figures out. The line-up for both sides might be considered as the
strongest within the entire Great Spiritual Academy Tournament.

The few groups that were invited over had the greatest possibility to become the
groups that would qualify for the final match.

Looking towards Wu Ling and Wen Bushen, Mu Chen cupped his hands in gratitude
towards them. During those few days of hunting, not only did he pluck out the fangs
and claws of Ji Xuan, he had similarly sought out allies that could collaborate
with him. After all, being all too familiar with Ji Xuan, if the latter wanted to
deal with his group without any restraint, he would definitely pull other
heavyweight groups to his side.

Therefore, he similarly needed to make some preparations of his own.

From the looks of the current situation, Ji Xuan had pulled Liu Qingyun, Fang Yun
and Xue Tianhe, while Mu Chen had Wen Qingxuan, Luo Li, Wu Ling, as well as Wen
Bushen. With Mu Chen himself added in, the latter’s line-up could be termed as
perfect.
The lineups on both sides were absolutely the best of the best within the Great
Spiritual Academy Tournament. The scene right before their eyes had caused the
blood within quite a few people to show signs of surging and boiling.

This up the beat for the final match.

“I never expect that you would actually team up with Mu Chen, Wu Ling.”

A chill suffused through Ji Xuan’s eyes as he rested his gaze onto Wu Ling. Indeed,
he had not expected that the latter would actually come together with Mu Chen.
After all, Mu Chen’s relationship with Wu Ling while on the Spiritual Road couldn’t
be considered to be close.

“. Don’t look at me like that. I’m also just here to even the field.” A smile
surfaced on Wu Ling’s effeminate face as he gave his reply. Turning around and
looking at Wu Yingying standing beside him, his mouth slightly twitched in
helplessness. Although he admired Mu Chen, he did not have any plan to into the war
between the latter and Ji Xuan, when the latter had sought him out. It was merely
due to him being unable to endure Wu Yingying’s nagging that he finally conceded
and accepted to help.

“. You’re short-sighted. Don’t you know what kind of person Ji Xuan is? That fellow
has extremely big ambitions. If he manages to deal with Mu Chen, we might not be
able to escape from his future plans. For the sake of clinching the Championship,
that fellow would sweep anyone that obstructs his path with no mercy at all.”
Seeing Wu Ling’s expression, Wu Yingying could not help coldly snorting out.

“Are these really the only reasons?” asked Wu Ling in a teasing manner.

“What else are you thinking about?” Wu Yingying growled, her willowy eyebrows
turning slightly vertical as a pinkish shade flashed across her fair complexion.
Nevertheless, she still opened her bright and beautiful eyes to shoot a fierce
glare towards Wu Ling.

Hearing her growls, Wu Ling gave a dry cough. He was completely helpless against
this crafty and unruly younger sister of his. Thus, the only choice he could do was
to turn towards Ji Xuan, before saying with a smile, “Ji Xuan, you’ve really blown
the matter up. From what I can see, if our two lineups were to really duke it out.
I believe that both parties would pay quite a high price…”

“To pay this price, there’s a very high possibility that there will be some people
that would lose the qualifications to get promoted into the final match.”

As Wu Ling’s clear voice rang out across the sky, it immediately caused the eyes of
the heavyweight helpers invited by both parties to sparkle. After all, all of them
were clear that both sides were absolutely not easy to deal with. If they were to
really duke it out, they might have to pay an extremely high price as a result.
Regardless of Ji Xuan or Mu Chen, such a price was clearly not too worthwhile. Due
to the grudges and grievances between the two, they could call for help and
reinforcements, but they would not go so far as to throw their lives for the two’s
cause.

Slightly narrowing his eyes to look at Wu Ling, Ji Xuan proceeded to shoot a look
at Mu Chen, before saying with a faint smile, “Do you have any good suggestions,
Captain Wu Ling?”

“Everyone takes a step back, pack up and go home, before really duking it out in
the final match,” replied Wu Ling with a grin.

As his words rang out, quite a few groups instantly gawked. Could it be that the
astonishing lineups from both sides would just pack up and retreat like that? Is
this a joke? Did they gather their heavyweight allies over just to be dazzling eye-
candy?

Hearing that, Mu Chen only gave a faint smile, declining to give any comment to it.

Ji Xuan similarly gave only a smile in response. Sweeping his gaze over, he finally
rested his eyes on Mu Chen before saying, “I also believe that it isn’t worthwhile
to start the final match here. However, since everyone’s here, there’s still things
that are needed to be done.”

“Mu Chen. Since today’s matter is started with the two of us, how makes us
concluding it sound for you?”

As those words from Ji Xuan rang out, it caused the hearts of quite a few people to
instantly shudder. With the relatively similar line-up between the two, it wasn’t
likely for a group battle to erupt. Furthermore, the line-up brought together by Ji
Xuan was already unable to provide much threat to Mu Chen. Since it was the case,
the only thing he could do was to toss away his helpers and personally grace the
stage.

However, such a scene still needed to be constructed by Ji Xuan. The majority of

the reason why he had feared and dread in Mu Chen was due to Luo Li and Wen
Qingxuan. However, from the looks of it, that fear and dread had been suppressed in
the current situation.

After all, if Luo Li and Wen Qingxuan still wanted to help Mu Chen take action at
this moment, the few heavyweight helpers that Ji Xuan had invited over would not
stand back and watch without taking action.

A chilling glint had glazed over Luo Li’s beautiful eyes, due to her clear
understanding Ji Xuan’s plan. So it turns out that this fellow’s plan all along has
been to force Mu Chen into a duel with him.
From a certain perspective, the current Ji Xuan was indeed extremely powerful.
Although she knew that a fight would definitely happen between Mu Chen and Ji Xuan,
she did not wish for this to happen now, as Mu Chen’s cultivation has yet to truly
reach the realm of Spirit Disaster.

As of now, if Mu Chen crossed hands with Ji Xuan, it wouldn't be advantageous for

him.

This was something that Ji Xuan was clear about. Therefore, he had unleashed all of
these schemes to force Mu Chen to take action. That way, he would be able to force
Mu Chen to completely fluster up, resulting in the loss of his most thorny
opponent.

Chilling covered Luo Li’s beautiful face. In the next instant, tightly grasping her
Luo God Sword, she took a step forward. Nevertheless, she was stopped by Mu Chen,
who had extended his hand to obstruct her.

Slightly shaking his head towards her, the youth proceeded to raise his head to
look towards Ji Xuan. An incisive smile started to surface on his handsome face,
before he slowly nodded his head under the countless attentive gazes shooting over.

“Let’s do as you wish.”

Chapter 581 - Earth-Shattering Confrontation

“As you wish.”

When Mu Chen’s voice spreads to the horizon, experts of all sorts abruptly shrank
their eyes as they looked at the mysterious and slender youth. Mu Chen’s acceptance
of the challenge was out of their expectations.

However, anyone could see from the current situation that Ji Xuan was forcing Mu
Chen to fight with him alone. With Mu Chen’s cultivation at Spiritual Energy
Disaster, he was on the weaker side.

Perhaps Mu Chen had the means to compensate for that weakness. However, that could
only be used on ordinary experts. Facing the monstrous Ji Xuan, he would understand
how hard it was to compensate for the gap between them.

Who dared to say that Ji Xuan did not have his own means as well?

“Mu Chen.”

Xu Huang and the rest looked at Mu Chen with worry. Shen Cangsheng and Li Xuantong
also exchanged looks with their brows furrowed. Clearly, they were not in favor of
Mu Chen’s fight with Ji Xuan.

Earlier, when they confronted Ji Xuan, they understood very well what sort of
horrifying strength that youth possessed.

Wen Qingxuan took a glance at Mu Chen, her rosy lips quivered. However, her
expression was heavy as she maintained her silence without a word. She knew that
the current Ji Xuan could not be compared to all the other opponents that Mu Chen
had encountered so far.

“That fool.” Wu Yingying could not help grinding her pearly-white teeth as she
heavily stomped her feet.

“, if he is a fool, then the amount of normal people could be numbered.” Wu Ling

laughed as he turned his head towards Wen Busheng, who was wearing a harmless smile
that stood beside him, with a smile as he asked, “What is Brother Wen’s view on
this?”

Wen Busheng originated from the Undefeated Spiritual Academy. Although the name of
the Spirit Academy was extremely lavish, the reputation of the Spiritual Academy
was extremely low. The strength of that Spiritual Academy was barely fulfilling the
Great Spiritual Academy Tournament. But no one could have imagined that this youth
from that particular Spiritual Academy could lead his team to Rank 8 in the point
rankings.

It was not an easy task to achieve such a feat as it was a qualification to partake
in the finals. Thus, many teams had targeted their team, but not a single one had
succeeded in their objective.

The result made it clear that this team from a small-sized Spiritual Academy was
the biggest black horse in this tournament.

Hearing Wu Ling’s words, Wen Busheng’s harmless smile that hung on his face
slightly froze as he replied, “Ji Xuan is very formidable.”

As he spoke, he made a pause before continuing his words, “However, Mu Chen… is

very hard to deal with. Despite the fact that he only possesses the cultivation of
Spiritual Energy Disaster, I could feel that the danger coming from him is not any
weaker compared to Ji Xuan.”

“This confrontation… will be very interesting. But the outcome would have to depend
on Mu Chen’s performance.”

Hearing his evaluation, Wu Ling smiled as he lightly nodded his head. He focused
his attention onto that area as he mumbled, “This will be very interesting…”

Under the countless gazes of all sorts, Mu Chen slowly moved forth.

Ji Xuan was looking at Mu Chen with both of his eyes narrowed from smiling as his
gaze flickered, “You are truly extraordinary to have made it this far with your
cultivation of Spiritual Energy Disaster.”

Mu Chen was also staring back at Ji Xuan. However, he did not speak a word as he
flew up into the horizon with a stomp of his feet, standing in the sky. Clenching
his fist, black-colored lightning surged out of his body, bring along the roaring
of thunder.

“Let’s go, I will take a look at how much you have improved all these years.” Mu
Chen said as he slowly extended his palm out.

Ji Xuan smiled in response without any warmth. In the next instant, everyone could
clearly see torrential Spiritual Energy sweeping out of his body.

Rumble! Rumble!

Majestic and powerful Spiritual Energy swept out like the ocean, bring along
rumbling sounds. Spiritual Energy pressure also spread out as it engulfed the
horizon.

Everyone’s faces slightly changed at the Spiritual Energy pressure as it made their
bodies feel heavier.

The Spiritual Energy cultivation that was displayed by Ji Xuan was at Second Grade
Spirit Disaster. However, he clearly already possessed the qualification to attempt
to break through the Third Grade Spirit Disaster. Thus, ordinary Second Grade
Spirit Disasters were not his opponents.

“What powerful Spiritual Energy.”

Someone could not restrain themselves from muttering in a soft voice. In the
current Great Spiritual Academy Tournament, those with Second Grade Spirit Disaster
were the top tiers. However, the current Ji Xuan that stood before them had already
surpassed that level and would come in contact with Third Grade Spirit Disaster
very soon.

The moment he made a breakthrough to the Third Grade Spirit Disaster, the last step
that countless people have yearned for would be right before him, the Sovereign
Realm!

Mu Chen stared at Ji Xuan, who had powerful Spiritual Energy circulates around him.
However, there wasn’t any astonishment displayed on his face as it wasn’t
surprising for Ji Xuan to possess such strength with his talent.

Rumble!

The lightning around Mu Chen became increasingly dense as lightning gathered at his
chest, slowly forming into six lightning runes. In that instant, the entire sky
turned dark as it seemed as if lightning bolts were swimming about in the sky.

As the black lightning traveled across Mu Chen’s body, he also emitted powerful
strength that could flatten a mountain range.

Mu Chen stood in the sky, the Spiritual Energy around him wasn’t as powerful when
compared to Ji Xuan, but the veins underneath his skin were wiggled as if they were
worms. His physical body quietly jolted as the energy ripples exploded the space
around him.

“He actually managed to cultivate his physical body to such a degree…”

Hovering on the sky far away, Liu Qingyun looked at the ripples of energy around Mu
Chen as a flash of astonishment flickered in his eyes. His gaze was even heavier as
he stared at Mu Chen.

Before achieving the Sovereign Realm, it was extremely hard to cultivate the
physical body. It was much harder compared to cultivating Spiritual Energy. Thus,
it was the reason why not that many people paid so much time to cultivate their
physical body before achieving the Sovereign Realm.

“I wonder if your physical body can withstand the impact of my Spiritual Energy?”
Ji Xuan faintly smiled as he stared at Mu Chen.
“We’ll know after we try.” Mu Chen extended his palm as he made a provoking
gesture.

“Such courage you have.”

Ji Xuan’s mouth curled into a cold arc as his gaze turned colder. No one saw him
moving, but the torrential Spiritual Energy swept forth like an ocean. Spiritual
Energy attacks amounting to a dozen shot forth with astonishing speed at the size
of roughly a thousand feet. With a flash, it had already arrived above Mu Chen.

“Sacred Light Wheel!”

Ji Xuan clenched his fist as the dozen Spiritual Energy attacks combined together,
forming into a Sacred Light Wheel that measured up to a thousand feet above Mu
Chen. As the light wheel spun, it turned into a light as it flew down with some
rustling sounds coming from it.

Ji Xuan was clearly vicious with his means as he did not show any signs of movement
to hint his attack.

Lightning exploded on the surface of Mu Chen’s body. He clenched his fist as black
lightning runes slowly extended onto his arm as he threw a fist out.

Rumble!

The roars of lightning shook the horizon.

A colossal black light flew from Mu Chen’s fist as it roared, which resounded
throughout the horizon, clashing against the light wheel.

Boom!

Black and white light tangled together up in the sky, before it dissolved, turning
into a violent storm that swept out.

As the storm swept out, Mu Chen’s figure abruptly disappeared from his original
location.

Rustle!

Mu Chen’s figure reappeared at the rear of Ji Xuan. There wasn’t any expression
worn on his face as he quickly made that instantly made a starry sky form behind
him.

“Four Gods Constellation Scripture!”

“Lightning God’s Fist!”

Mu Chen sent out images of beasts with his left hand, while his right sent out
lightning. Two tyrannical attacks instantly engulfed Ji Xuan.

“Sacred Light Shield.”

Ji Xuan extended his hand as brilliant white light gathered, before turning into a
huge shield. On the shield, it was filled with sacred runes that made it look
impregnable.

Boom!
Mu Chen’s tyrannical attack heavily clashed against the shield. However, he was not
able to pierce through it, only able to make the light shield slightly shake.

Ji Xuan’s methods vastly outstripped all of his opponents in the past. Not only did
he possess powerful Spiritual Energy, the technique in which he cultivated in was
also not your ordinary stuff. His fighting strength was acclaimed as the peak of
perfection.

“Sacred Light’s Hand!”

After withstanding Mu Chen’s attack, Ji Xuan pushed his palm out as the gigantic
Sacred Light’s Hand appeared above Mu Chen as it slammed down, causing the nearby
air to explode from the force.

Boom!

Another black lightning soared into the sky as it confronted the Sacred Light’s
Hand.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The exchange of the two people was extremely fast. In just a dozen breath’s time,
they had already exchanged dozens of moves. Black light exploded as the sacred
light dissipated, causing the entire horizon to be dark and distorted from the two
horrifying attacks.

Countless gazes filled with shock were directed towards the fierce exchange between
the two, to the point that even a few experts that had broken through to Second
Grade Spirit Disaster had the corner of their mouths twitching, since the exchange
was simply too terrifying.

During their exchange, Mu Chen was clearly taking more hits. However, with his
powerful physical body, he managed to withstand it. Therefore, neither side was on
the advantageous side in their fight.

“There won't be any outcome if the two of them were to continue in such a manner,”
said Wu Ling as he watched the battle from afar.

Wen Busheng lightly nodded his head. Shortly after, his eyes instantly shrunk as he
slowly spoke, “So they must reveal some of their cards.”

When Wen Busheng spoke, white light abruptly gathered in the sky that looked like a
blazing sun that was shone onto the land, along with fearsome Spiritual Energy
ripples soaring into the sky.
Chapter 582 - Third Grade Spirit Disaster VS Hepta Rune Lighting Physique
Buzzz.

Brilliant white light rays that looked like a blazing sun as rays of light shone
into this horizon.

The bizarre scene instantly attracted the attention of everyone.

Boom!

Mu Chen wore a serious look in his eyes as he clenched his fist and sent it out. In
an instant, lighting that seemed like an enraged dragon roared as it charged forth
along with boundless Spiritual Energy as it sped towards Ji Xuan, who was emitting
the endless brilliance.
Ji Xuan stood in the sky and was at the center of the brilliant light as powerful
Spiritual Energy fluctuated in his surroundings. His long black hair was fluttering
as a chill filled his eyes.

He raised his head as he fixed his gaze onto the incoming black lightning, his
mouth curled into a ridiculing smile as he moved, bursting forth.

Rustle!

His figure instantly appeared before the black lightning as he casually pushed his
palm out towards the black lightning.

Bang!

Brilliant white Spiritual Energy erupted in the form of a light beam. Wherever the
white light traveled, it destroyed the rampaging black lightning in its way.

“Mu Chen, do you truly think that my strength is only Second Grade Spirit
Disaster?”

Destroying the lightning with a single palm, Ji Xuan’s robes fluttered along with
his black hair. He looked down, from up high, on Mu Chen, who was standing before
him, as he had a profound smile on his face.

Hearing Ji Xuan’s words, countless experts that were present in this place had
their hearts jolted as they became dumbstruck. The meaning behind Ji Xuan’s words…
could it be that he had already broken the threshold to Third Grade Spirit
Disaster?

The gaze of Luo Li, Wen Qingxuan and the rest narrowed as their expressions became
a little heavy at this instant. Ji Xuan had, indeed, concealed his true strength…

Up on the horizon, Ji Xuan lightly smiled and made a holding gesture with his hand.
In an instant, a terrifying Spiritual Energy pressure spread out as the pressure
increased several folds compared to before.

In addition, the boundless white Spiritual Energy was like an ocean around Ji Xuan
as it constantly waved, emitting violent energy.

Compared to before, his Spiritual Energy was a lot more robust.

“I never imagined, in my wildest imagination, that Ji Xuan broke through to Third

Grade Spirit Disaster… what a deep and immeasurable fellow. No wonder he could
firmly occupy the Numero Uno spot. This doesn’t spell good for Mu Chen…”

Sighs resounded around this horizon. The sudden surge of Ji Xuan’s strength broke
the deadlock between the two in an instant.

If Ji Xuan did possess the strength of a Third Grade Spirit Disaster, it would be
impossible for Mu Chen to resist him.

“How are you going to resist me now?”

Ji Xuan’s gaze was sharp as he looked at Mu Chen. Shortly after, his hand seals
changed as a wave of majestic Spiritual Energy swept out with light gathering
together. Forming into a huge light seal above Mu Chen.
The light seal emitted a brilliant light as it fell down. The frightening energy
had instantly locked a few thousand feet, with Mu Chen in the center, not allowing
him to have the slightest chance of escaping.

Compared to before, Ji Xuan’s attack was way more powerful. If Mu Chen still used
his previous method to forcefully withstand it, he would definitely be injured.

The instant Mu Chen fell into the disadvantageous position in this confrontation,
perhaps the outcome would be decided.

Mu Chen raised his head as his black pupils reflected the brilliant light. The
colossal light seal rapidly expanded in his pupils. The pressure that was brought
by that attack made the surrounding space around him locked. So much so that even
the black lightning that was flickering on his body was suffering under the
pressure.

This was how powerful a Third Grade Spirit Disaster was.

That attack was not something that his Hexa Rune Lightning Body could confront. The
Ji Xuan that stood before him was indeed, an enemy that would require him to give
it his all.

Haaaaaa.

Mu Chen deeply sucked in a mouthful of air as he slowly closed his eyes under the
countless astonished gazes.

“Is he giving up?” Far away in the horizon, Xue Tianhe stood in the sky as his
scarlet pupils looked at Mu Chen in indifference as he muttered to himself, “Is
someone that received the love of Luo Li so weak?”

“Seems like the influence of expelling him out of the Spiritual Road is great.” Yun
Fang of the Nine Cauldrons Spiritual Academy mumbled with a faint smile. If Mu
Chen’s cultivation was not disrupted for a year, the current him might not be
weaker than Ji Xuan. However, it was a pity that there were no “ifs” in this world…

“Mu Chen, he…” The faces of Xu Huang and the rest were filled with anxiety. in
strength had instantly flipped the board around.

Shen Cangsheng and Li Xuantong also wore heavy expressions on their faces, since
they never expected Ji Xuan to be so powerful to the point that he had already
managed to pass through the threshold of Third Grade Spirit Disaster. Even in the
entire Great Spiritual Academy Tournament, he is the first person that has managed
to break through to Third Grade Spirit Disaster, right?

Luo Li and Wen Qingxuan did not speak, but their charming gazes were fixed onto the
scene in the sky. Clearly, they had revealed the worries that they had in their
hearts. Ji Xuan was an opponent that no one could belittle.

Rumble!

Just when everyone in this region was astonished by Mu Chen’s actions, the sky
instantly darkened. Thereafter, someone realized that thunderclouds had appeared
above them, without them knowing, as lightning flickered in the thunderclouds with
deep roars of thunder resounding.

Tssssssssi!

As the lightning flickered, a colossal bolt of lightning suddenly fell from the
sky, tearing apart the horizon, before heavily hitting Mu Chen’s body under the
numerous dumbstruck gazes.

The black lightning almost buried Mu Chen’s figure within. Rays of lightning spread
out as they sparkled. The violent ripples caused by it had also made the
surrounding space boiling.

However, the black bolt of lightning did not last a long time as it vanished in a
rapid speed. The lightning seemed to have been attracted as it was being rapidly
absorbed into Mu Chen’s body.

In the blink of an eye, Mu Chen’s figure reappeared before everyone’s eyes.

There weren’t any changes in his body, except for the fact that the black lightning
that covered his body from before had vanished without a trace.

Right at this moment, Mu Chen slowly opened his tightly shut eyes.

Rumble!

It was as if lightning was being born in his black pupils. Shortly after, he
stomped his feet, causing the space beneath him to be distorted. Thereafter, with a
rustle, he soared into the horizon.

Boom!

Mu Chen’s clothes were shredded apart. As his clothes were torn apart, everyone
could see the lightning runes that appeared on his chest.

And there were a total of seven !

Rune Lightning Physique!

Boom!

Roars of thunder rang across the horizon as Mu Chen’s figure turned into a bolt of
black lightning. Within the black lightning, it contained indescribable overbearing
power.

Boom! Boom!

The bolt of black lightning that Mu Chen had formed soared. In the next instant, it
had already heavily clashed with the colossal light seal that was falling.

“Break!”

In the instant the two forces clashed, a deep voice suddenly rang out.

The black lightning seemed like a spear of the lightning god that was about to
pierce through this horizon, causing this horizon to be instantly darkened. What
followed after was even more astonishing, since everyone could see cracks appearing
on the light seal as it rapidly expanded.

Crack!

A clear and crisp sound rang out as the black lightning pierced through the light
seal.

The faces of everyone, drastically changed.

The bolt of lightning pierced through the light seal, before it slowly dissipated
in the sky. Following the dissipation, Mu Chen’s topless, figure appeared once
again. His black pupils looked as if there was a world of lightning in them as his
gaze made others feel fearful.

Beneath him, the light seal exploded as it shattered.

Countless gazes were being widened, bit-by-bit, while following the shattering
light .

Ji Xuan’s attack actually collapsed!

“How is that possible…?” An exclamation resounded as the voice was shaking. The
current Ji Xuan had already used his strength as Third Grade Spirit Disaster. But
despite so, he was unable to defeat Mu Chen?

“His physical body grew stronger.” Wen Busheng wore a heavy expression as he looked
at the topless and slender figure, Mu Chen. The latter’s Spiritual Energy did not
grow much, but his physical body was several times more powerful compared to
before.

Wu Ling also lightly nodded his head in agreement. “He is indeed not someone so
easy to deal with. Seems like the both of them had cards up their sleeves…”

“Haaaaaa.”

Shen Cangsheng and the rest breathed out a mouthful of air in relief. Shortly
after, their hearts were filled with shock. Comparing Mu Chen to the strength he
had when the Great Spiritual Academy Tournament had just begun, he actually grew so
powerful.

“This fellow truly has the same character as Ji Xuan. Both of them like to hide
their cards up their sleeves.” Wen Qingxuan snorted. However, in contrast to her
words, her anxious expression was slightly relieved.

“I’m afraid that not even you know how many cards he has hidden up his sleeves, Luo
Li.”

Luo Li did not reply, but she gave a shallow smile in response.

Under the countless dumbstruck gazes, Mu Chen and Ji Xuan faced off in the sky. One
of them had an ocean of Spiritual Energy around him, while the other had lightning
runes on his body, both appearing extremely overbearing.

“Truly formidable.” Ji Xuan stared at Mu Chen as a chill flowed from his eyes.
However, he still had a smile maintained on his charming face.

“Did you truly believe that the strength of my physical body was only at such a
level?” Mu Chen faintly smiled as he returned Ji Xuan his words.

“It’s still too early for you to be rejoicing.”

Ji Xuan smiled as light circulated in his eyes. “Truth be told. If this is your
limit, then you will still remain here today.”

Mu Chen slowly extended his hand out as he formed bizarre seals with his fingertips
as something like a bladed edge that could even make Ji Xuan feel startled burst
from his eyes.
“Now then, it’s my turn to attack.”
Chapter 583 - Retaliate
“Now, it will be my turn to attack!”

When Mu Chen’s deep voice resounded, numerous experts present in this horizon
narrowed their gaze the whole time, the way Mu Chen fought was Ji Xuan attacking
while he defended.

And now, was he finally going to change his way of fighting?

But, even if his physical body had grown stronger, was he truly able to contend
against Ji Xuan, who had already achieved Third Grade Spirit Disaster?

Upon the horizon, Ji had surging in his surroundings had his eyes flickered upon
hearing Mu Chen’s words. Shortly after, he chuckled, “I’ll be anticipating, then.”

He crossed his arms, not having any intention of obstructing Mu Chen. Although it
was out of his expectation when Mu Chen’s physical body grew stronger, it was still
too naive for Mu Chen to think that he would fear him based on that.

Mu Chen wasn’t bothered with Ji Xuan’s chuckle since he was already forming blurry
seals with his hand when he spoke earlier.

As his hand seals changed, a dark-green halo spread out with his palm in the
center.

“Tree Planting Art!”

Mu Chen barked inwardly in his head as the dark-green halo was seen expanding.
Under the countless dumbstruck gazes, the green light fell from the sky. A rustling
sound was heard before a vast dark-green forest rose up from the ground.

The forest was filled with gigantic trees with light circulating on their surfaces.

“This is…”

The sudden appearance of the dark-green forest made everyone widen their eyes in
shock. However, their expressions changed, not knowing whether to laugh or cry when
they could not sense any dangerous ripples coming from the forest.

“Really… what a convenient way of growing trees.”

Someone couldn’t resist commenting. This was the first time that they had witnessed
such a bizarre method, being able to grow a forest in a move.

But, then again, they knew that this wasn’t created by Mu Chen out of nothing. As
such means of creation wasn’t something that they could achieve at their current
level.

The forest should be something that Mu Chen had prepared long ago as some unusual
Spiritual Artifacts did possess such capabilities. Forming a small interspatial
realm where one could keep living things in it.

Luo Li and Wen Qingxuan were exchanging looks since this was the first time that
they had seen Mu Chen executing such… a peculiar method.

Shen Cangsheng and the rest quietly wiped their cold sweat. If it wasn’t for now
not being the right time, they might have laughed out loud.
Mu Chen, who stood on the horizon, wasn’t bothered by the unusual gazes of everyone
as he glanced down at the vast forest. Thereafter, his hand seals changed again.

Buzzz! Buzz!

Following the change of his seals, dense, dark-greenish light surged forth from the
forest. The light was filled with vigorous Spiritual Energy.

The Spiritual Energy was filled to the brim with life force. Compared to the
natural mottled Spiritual Energy, it vaguely possessed a fine spirituality.

“Something’s not right.” The gaze of Wu Ling and the rest who were staring at the
dark-green forest suddenly narrowed, along with their expressions becoming a little
heavier. They seemed to have sensed something.

Dark-green light spread out from the forest like an ocean as a peculiar pressure
began being emitted.

The whispers started to die off since they were starting to feel that something
wasn’t right. Mu Chen definitely had a reason for creating such a huge forest, not
simply for viewing purposes.

Upon the horizon, Mu Chen’s expression was calm. Shortly after, his slender fingers
quietly intertwined.

Divine Wood Scripture!

Whoosh!

The gigantic trees in the vast forest started to explode as the dark-green
spiritual ocean soared up as it suddenly gathered towards Mu Chen.

Rumble!!

The torrential Spiritual Energy gathered beneath Mu Chen’s feet, it was like a
sheet of the ocean. The dark green was filled to the brim with life force. The of
the Spiritual Energy even made Ji Xuan’s face slightly change.

He felt danger from the Spiritual Energy.

Haaaaaa.

Mu Chen sucked in a mouthful of air as he fixed his cold gaze towards Ji Xuan as he
faintly smiled. However, his smile seemed like there was a blade hidden in his
smile, “It’s your turn to be receiving attacks from me.”

“Lesser Divine Art - Divine Wheel of the Heavenly Wood!”

Mu Chen’s eyes suddenly turned cold as his hand seals changed. The dark-green ocean
beneath his feet soared up to the sky in an instant as it gathered at a rapid
speed. Thereafter, a wooden light wheel with the size of a few thousand feet
started to form under the countless startled gaze.

wheel quietly hovered above Mu Chen’s head. Although the dark-greenish color made
it look as if it was made of wood, it was emitting an unstoppable fluctuation,
seems like a deity conducting divine punishment!
The faces of everyone turned heavy. Even those as strong as Wu Ling, Wen Busheng,
Liu Qingyun and various pinnacle experts of the Great Spiritual Academy Tournament
had slightly narrowed their eyes.

The Divine Wheel of the Heavenly Wood that was created my Mu Chen was a genuine
Lesser Divine Art. Adding on to the energy that it had absorbed from the Divine
Wooden Scripture and the fact that these two Divine Arts were of the same origin,
the of this Lesser Divine Art was much more powerful to all the other times that Mu
Chen had used it due to the fact that the two Divine Arts complemented each other.

Faced with this sort of fearsome attack, even an expert that had stepped into the
Third Grade Spirit Disaster would be afraid.

“He truly is not simple, to possess such means.” Xue Tianhe slowly said as he
stared at the scene. Even he could sense danger from Mu Chen’s attack. That fellow
was indeed able to match evenly with Ji Xuan and stand out from the masses.

Up in the sky, the smile that was hung on Ji Xuan’s face slowly faded. He stared at
Mu Chen as he clenched both of his fists, causing the white Spiritual Energy around
him to grow stronger. Clearly, he sensed how powerful Mu Chen’s attack was.

“Go!”

Mu Chen finally extended a slender finger under the countless startled gaze
pointing down, his chilling voice resounded.

Buzzzzzz!

Following the action of Mu Chen pointing his finger down, the colossal and antique
wheel started to slowly spin as the rotation quickly accelerated at a rapid speed.

Buzzz! Buzzzzzz!

The divine wheel turned into a dark-green arc as ear-piercing buzzes were emitted
from it. Even the space had traces of being sliced on the region of the blade.

Woooooooosh!

The divine wheel flew out when the rotation had reached its limits.

Boom!

The speed of the divine wheel was indescribable, looking like it had teleported. In
a flash, it pierced through the space as it appeared barely three hundred meters
away from Ji Xuan.

“Sacred Light Divine Art - Sacred Light Guardian!”

Ji Xuan’s face turned heavier as his hand seals changed, following a bark that
resounded.

Woooooooosh!

A sacred light that engulfed the heavens and earth surged forth from his body as it
expanded around his surroundings at an astonishing speed. In the blink of an eye,
it had taken the form of a colossal sacred light image. That image had spread out
its wings as it protected Ji Xuan.

Boom!
When the sacred light image made its appearance, the divine wheel had also suddenly
swept forth. It seemed like a collision from a meteorite as it clashed against the
colossal wings.

Indescribable light exploded as it covered even the sun. This entire region was
covered in a dazzling light that made others find it hard to even open their eyes.

Rumble!

The intense dazzling light only lasted for a few breath’s time, before everyone
could sense a fearsome Spiritual Energy tornado that swept out.

Boom! Boom!

The ground cracked along with the surrounding mountain peaks being sliced off…

Countless people that were closer flew away from the shock. Only several experts
who possessed decent strength could barely stabilize their bodies. However, a smear
of shock was on their faces.

The clash was simply too startling.

The shock wave of the Spiritual Energy that wreaked havoc lasted for a few minutes,
before gradually dying down. When the heavens and the earth had its serenity
restored, a complete disorder appeared before everyone. The sight of the crack that
was roughly ten thousand feet wide made the eyes of those looking at it twitch.

Rustle!

However, their lines-of-sight only stopped on the ground for an instant, before
directing their gazes up.

On the horizon, stood two figures. However, the both of them were sent flying
thousands of meters apart. The colossal sacred light image around Ji Xuan was also
dissipating before his figure was revealed to everyone.

More than half of his clothes were torn apart, his face was dark as he viciously
stared at Mu Chen’s eyes.

“He blocked it.”

When everyone saw Ji Xuan’s current state, they could not help exclaiming. At the
same time, they felt fear in their hearts. Ji Xuan was simply too formidable. Even
when he was faced with such a fearsome attack from Mu Chen, he could still defend
himself.

However, the reason why Ji Xuan was able to defend himself was due to the fact that
he grasped a Divine Art. Furthermore, it was a defensive-type Divine Art.
Otherwise, he would definitely be wounded.

Nevertheless, Ji Xuan was able to defend himself from Mu Chen’s attack.

“Formidable.”

Ji Xuan stared at the traces of blood on his arm as he directed his dark gaze
towards Mu Chen. He eerily smiled. “You are indeed formidable. To be able to
unleash an attack of this level with your cultivation at Spiritual Energy
Disaster.”
“However… I still have to tell you with regret that it was still impossible for you
to harm me, even if you have mastered a Divine Art!”

“And now, what other moves do you have?”

When he spoke to the end, Ji Xuan’s gaze was thoroughly filled with a chill.

Mu Chen’s black pupils were looking at Ji Xuan in calm. Shortly after, a peculiar
smile surfaced on his handsome face as he lightly said, “It’s still too early for
you to rejoice.”

Hearing his words, Ji Xuan’s pupils instantly narrowed as he sensed something. He

raised his head and saw that after the layers of white clouds were torn apart,
black thunderclouds appeared that were hidden behind the layers of white clouds.
The black lightning in the thunderclouds looked like a colossal dragon as it
rolled, emitting destructive power.

At this instant, a voice quietly rang out in Mu Chen’s heart.

“Lightning Controlling Art!”

Chapter 584 - Concealed Trump Cards
Rumble!

A huge sound rang out, sounds of enraged lightning instantly resounded between this
heaven and earth. The roar made even the sky tremble in that instant.

Black thunderclouds were stacked in the sky as a colossal black lightning that
looked like a black dragon was wiggling in the thunderclouds, emitting ripples of
destruction.

Everyone was dumbfounded by the sudden scene. Even those as powerful as Wu Ling,
Xue Tianhe, and Liu Qingxun were shocked since they did not sense any peculiar
fluctuations earlier.

“What a sly method.”

Liu Qingyun spoke with a heavy voice. At this instant, he finally understood what
was going on. The divine wheel that Mu Chen had used wasn’t his final move. The
true ultimate technique was the lightning that was hidden behind the divine wheel.

Mu Chen used the divine wheel to cover it up. When he was drawing in the boiling
Spiritual Energy between this heaven and earth, he secretly covered up this
ultimate technique of his.

“What a deep scheme.” Wu Ling faintly sighed. The previous attack was already so
frightening. However, Mu Chen was not complacent by it and had hidden a bigger
ultimate technique behind his first…

Facing the revealed and hidden twin attack, even if someone had managed to
withstand the first one, it would be impossible to defend against the second that
was hidden away.

Rumble!

Just when everyone was shocked at the appearance of the thunderclouds, Mu Chen’s
cold gaze was already fixed onto Ji Xuan, whose expression was a little ugly at the
moment.
“Lightning Controlling Art - Go!”

Without any superfluous words, his hand seals changed as he drew down his slender
fingers.

Boom!

The black thunderclouds were instantly torn apart as a loud roar resounded across
this horizon. When everyone raised their heads, the black lightning looked as if it
was conducting lightning judgment as the colossal black lightning fell.

Tsssssssssssi.

The speed of the falling lightning was so extremely fast that it was impossible to
avoid. In the places that the lightning had swept past, space was distorted and
looked like a glass that was about to shatter at any moment.

Because the black pillar of lightning had extremely fast speed, it had appeared
above Ji Xuan in a flash. Currently, the amount of Spiritual Energy around Ji Xuan
was frozen still. Because he had to defend himself against the Divine Wheel of the
Heavenly Wood from Mu Chen earlier, he had to circulate the Spiritual Energy within
his body, which caused it to be sluggish for an instant.

Furthermore, when Mu Chen’s attack came, it was the exact moment that the Spiritual
Energy within Ji Xuan’s body was unable to restore back to its peak.

All of this could be said as invulnerable.

This attack was the true ultimate move that Mu Chen had been brewing!

The faces of everyone froze at the sight as they stared at Ji Xuan, who was
engulfed by the black lightning pillar. After dominating the Numero Uno slot for so
long and having not been defeated before, was he going to lose today?

Faced with the attack that Mu Chen had perfectly grasped the chance to use, even
someone like Ji Xuan had to be defeated, right?

Bang!

Under the countless gazes that had all sorts of moods, the black pillar of
lightning finally fell as it hit Ji Xuan, completely engulfing his body.

The black pillar of lightning fell from the sky as if it was a pillar that could
prop up the sky as it pierced the heavens and earth. It could clearly be seen from
anywhere within a fifty-meter radius.

Liiiiiiiii!

Just when the black lightning pillar shot at the location where Ji Xuan was at, a
primordial bird’s cry rang throughout this region.

That cry was extremely ancient, with an indescribable ferocity. As if a primordial

beast was waking up.

Boom! Boom!

Spiritual Energy in this region exploded from the bird’s cry. Sound waves that
could be seen with the naked-eye swept out, causing the surrounding space of a few
hundred meters to have traces of distortion and was twisting.

Mu Chen’s figure trembled as he flew away. His feet were sliding on the sky for a
thousand meters before he was able to stabilize himself.

When he managed to stabilize his figure, his facial expression was heavy. His eyes
were fixed on the black lightning. Clearly, the fearsome cry originated from that
location.

“What is that…?” Mu Chen’s brows were furrowed as his palm lightly touched the
Mustard Seed Bracelet. When the primordial cry rang out, he sensed that the black
egg that was the Nine Netherbird had jolted a little.

All the eyes in this region were looking at the black pillar of lightning.
Evidently, the bizarre change-of-event earlier had attracted their attention.

Under the countless gazes, the black pillar slowly dissipated as the lightning
scattered. We the lightning pillar started to dissipate, a human figure that was
faintly discernible appeared in their eyes.

Everyone widened their eyes in that instant, whereas Mu Chen’s eyes narrowed.

Lightning dissipated as Ji Xuan’s figure appeared before everyone’s eyes. However,

going against everyone’s expectations, there wasn’t any injury on his body.

His current state was the same as before, not even his skin was charred by the
lightning. Under that fearful attack, he was actually unharmed!

“How is that possible?!” Xu Huang exclaimed as his face drastically changed, along
with the rest.

Faced against Mu Chen’s attack that was unleashed at a perfect timing, even a Third
Grade Spirit Disaster would have to pay the price from it. But, right now, how was
Ji Xuan still fine?

Luo Li’s curved eyebrows slightly knitted together as she became submerged in her
thoughts. Thereafter, she gave a glance at Wen Qingxuan and saw the smear of shock
that flashed through the latter’s eyes.

“That primordial cry from before…” Luo Li said softly.

“It seems to be similar to the super Spiritual Beast Ranked 8th on the Myriad Beast
Record, the Primordial Skydragon Hawk…” Wen Qingxuan lightly nodded her head as she
continued, “But I have no idea how Ji Xuan was able to unleash that cry. Did he
have any treasures in his possession that were linked to the Primordial Skydragon
Hawk?”

Luo Li faintly shook her head. Ji Xuan was indeed, someone hard to deal with. She
originally thought that Mu Chen’s plan was perfect, but who could have expected
that it was countered at the crucial time?

An uproar exploded in this region. Everyone was startled by the fact that Ji Xuan
was unharmed. At the same time, they could not help feeling respect in their
hearts. This fellow that was the Numero Uno of the point rankings was indeed, too
ferocious to the point that even such an attack could not do anything against him.
In the entire Great Spiritual Academy Tournament, who else could rival him?

Whereas experts on the level of Wu Ling, Wen Busheng, Xue Tianhe, Liu Qingfun and
Fang Yun have a heavy expression as their eyes flickered when they looked at Ji
Xuan.

Up in the sky, Mu Chen was also closely staring at Ji Xuan. There wasn’t any
expression on his face. His attack that should have guaranteed his victory was
actually mysteriously countered. This made the degree of danger he had for Ji Xuan
in his heart rise.

Far away, Ji Xuan was also standing in the sky. Although he had managed to defend
himself against Mu Chen’s fearful attack, he wasn’t pleased, from the look of his
face, as a dark killing intent filled his eyes as he stared at Mu Chen.

“Mu Chen, you have indeed surprised me!” Ji Xuan’s eerie voice was filled with
killing intent as if it could pierce through the clouds in the sky.

Right now, he clearly wished he could tear Mu Chen to pieces.

Just to deal with Mu Chen, he had revealed too much of his trump cards. Earlier, he
nearly revealed the trump card that he had hidden the deepest.

Before the finals, revealing too much of his trump card wasn’t good news for Ji
Xuan. After all, aside from Mu Chen, there were many other pinnacle experts in the
Great Spiritual Academy Tournament that were also not easy to deal with.

Especially Luo Li and Wen Qingxuan… the level of danger he had for the two girls
wasn’t any inferior to Mu Chen.

If he revealed too much of his trump cards, the danger that he would face in the
finals would be greater.

Originally, he intended to get rid of Mu Chen while his Spiritual Energy

cultivation was still lacking. But who could have expected that Mu Chen could
confront him to such a degree…?

Mu Chen looked at Ji Xuan, whose eyes were filled with killing intent, as he
laughed, “You have surprised me quite a bit as well. Seems like you are still
hiding your trump cards. Why don’t you use them and see if you can get rid of me?”

Ji Xuan’s pupils narrowed as his killing intent spiked.

Luo Li felt the violent killing intent coming from Ji Xuan as she tightly gripped
her Luo God Sword, a chill flowing in her eyes. Wen Qingxuan, who stood by her
side, had also tensed her body.

This entire region seemed as if it was engulfed in Ji Xuan’s violent killing intent
as everyone was shocked to the point that they could not speak.

Mu Chen’s gaze was calm as he looked at Ji Xuan, who looked a little terrifying.
After a long time, he suddenly lightly smiled. “Stop showing a strong front. Since
you no longer dare to attack, let’s call it off.”

The corner of Ji Xuan’s mouth twitched as he loosened his fist.

He knew that it was impossible for this match to carry on unless they were going to
risk revealing all of their trump cards. If that was the case, it would definitely
not be good news for them in the finals.

In addition, he understood that Mu Chen wasn’t an easy opponent from their battle
earlier. Although he had his trump cards, he could not guarantee that Mu Chen had
used all of his trump cards as well. If he still hid some of his cards, the final
result would be the two of them suffering and neither side wins. Thus, it was not
good news for Ji Xuan.

He could guarantee that the instant he was injured, no one would give him a chance
to make a comeback, be it his opponent or his so-called ‘alliance mates’.

Thus, he could no longer continue this battle anymore.

The terrifying killing intent that was emerging from Ji Xuan withdrew at a rapid
speed. When the pressure in this heaven and earth dissipated, everyone felt
inwardly relieved.

Only those pinnacle experts were somewhat disappointed as their gazes flickered.

Ji Xuan deeply glanced at Mu Chen before turning around and left. At the same time,
his eerie voice rang out between this heaven and earth.

“Mu Chen, I will let you taste thorough defeat in the finals. Enjoy your last
moments.”
Chapter 585 - End of show, for the time being
As Ji Xuan’s team left, his cold voice that contained dense killing intent still
echoed in this region for a long time.

Under that dense killing intent, countless teams in this region were shocked
without words as they exchanged looks.

Although the current scene seemed as if Ji Xuan was forced to retreat, no one
thought that he looked miserable, since they could all feel that Ji Xuan had yet to
use his true strength.

The primordial hawk cry earlier was the best proof. As everyone knew how powerful
Mu Chen’s black lightning was, Ji Xuan was still able to withstand it unharmed…

The trump card that Ji Xuan had concealed was clearly very fearsome.

But, under the current situation, it was a shackle for him not being able to
unleash his trump cards without any worries, since his opponent was likewise not a
fish that laid on the chopping board.

Although Mu Chen’s strength only appeared to be Spiritual Energy Disaster, his

fighting power was something that could heavily change the expression of any expert
here and cautiously deal with them.

Naturally, an opponent like Mu Chen was someone that even the monstrous Ji Xuan
would have to fear a little, fearing for a tragic battle.

If that was the case, even if he had managed to defeat Mu Chen, he still had to pay
a huge price for it. When it comes down to that, he still had to deal with the
enraged Luo Li and the Wen Qingxuan, whose stances were unknown.

Facing the two absolute beauties, even Ji Xuan was not confident that he could win.
Unless if he were to risk it all…

Under that circumstances, Ji Xuan had no choice but to retreat.

Although Ji Xuan had retreated, everyone knew that this confrontation had not ended
yet. It was just pushed back a little… because Ji Xuan was waiting, waiting for the
finals.
At the finals, he would be able to reveal all of his trump cards without any fear.

At that time, it was another story if Mu Chen would still make Ji Xuan afraid…

When that time comes, it would definitely be a ferocious battle.

Up in the sky, Mu Chen was calmly looking at Ji Xuan as he departed. He slowly

eased his tense body as a faint smear of paleness flinted across his face.

It was a great exhaustion for him to execute three Divine Arts, the Divine Wheel of
the Heavenly Wood, Divine Wood Scripture, as well as the Lightning Controlling Art,
with his cultivation at Spiritual Energy Disaster.

It was also fortunate that he was able to reach Spiritual Energy Disaster, allowing
the Spiritual Energy within his body to grow by several times. If he was still at
the Human Body Disaster, it would definitely be impossible for him to achieve such
a feat.

He directed his sight towards the direction that Ji Xuan left with a calm
expression. However, hints of sharpness were surging in the depth of his eyes.

The confrontation could be considered a little as having a strong start, but a weak
finish. However, it had also allowed him to know how powerful Ji Xuan was. This
opponent of the past had become so deep and unpredictable now.

“What a formidable opponent.”

Mu Chen slowly clenched his fist as he muttered to himself, “Spiritual Energy

Disaster is still insufficient…”

During their confrontation, Mu Chen could feel
The depth of his strength shouldn’t be at this
for the first time that his strength was still
Spiritual Energy. Compared to Ji Xuan, who was
he was still too inferior.
that Ji Xuan had hidden many things.
level. Thus, it made Mu Chen feel
insufficient, especially his
at the Third Grade Spirit Disaster,

Although he could shorten the distance with his physical body, Spiritual Energy was
the most crucial. If he wished to unleash more powerful trump cards, he would
require the larger support of Spiritual Energy.

Thus, if he wished to thoroughly defeat Ji Xuan, he would definitely have to raise

his strength.

Mu Chen inhaled a mouthful of air as he suppressed the waves in his heart as he

softly muttered, “The Finals… it should be very soon. Ji Xuan, let us unleash all
of our trump cards at that time and let us see who will have the last laugh.”

The silence in this region lasted for a long time. The torrential killing intent
had also thoroughly dissipated, allowing all the powerful teams to be relieved.

They exchanged looks as they strangely looked at Mu Chen, who was up in the sky.
Some teams had already started to leave. As the battle had already ended, there was
no reason for them to remain any longer, in case they would be targeted by the
other powerful teams.

Having this thought, whooshing sounds rang out in the sky as the other teams left
in an orderly manner. Even when they left, they maintained their guard to the
highest level.
In just a few minutes, this region that had gathered countless teams had emptied
out, leaving behind the destruction and the broken mountain peaks as proof that a
huge battle had occurred in this location.

“Haha, you're indeed formidable for someone that is fancied by the next Empress of
the Luo God Clan.” Xue Tianhe said as he smiled towards Mu Chen.

Mu Chen faintly glanced at Xue Tianhe as he replied, “Your Blood God Clan must be
bored to have traveled such a distance just to participate in the Great Spiritual
Academy Tournament.”

“Even the next Empress of the Luo God Clan is here, there’s nothing odd of us being
here.”

Xue Tianhe then directed his gaze towards Luo Li as a chill flashed across his
scarlet pupils. He pursed up his lips as he smiled, “She’s the hope of the Luo God
Clan now. If I could kill her, the Luo God Clan would be thoroughly hopeless…”

As he spoke, Mu Chen’s gaze turned extremely terrifying. The gaze that he had used
to look at Ji Xuan earlier was vastly incomparable to his current one as it had
made Xue Tianhe narrow his eyes.

“Then I can only slaughter your trash here.”

A savage smile surfaced on Mu Chen’s charming face. A red light flashed across his
pupils as torrential killing intent spread out.

The startling killing intent that was suddenly unleashed by Mu Chen made everyone
here alarmed. They involuntarily shifted their gazes towards Xue Tianhe’s party.
Clearly, they were unaware of how Xue Tianhe’s party suddenly provoked Mu Chen to
such a degree.

Luo Li’s figure moved as she appeared beside Mu Chen. Her crystal-clear pupils were
exceptionally cold at this moment as her hand that was gripping her Luo God Sword
had tiny tremblings as a sword cry rang out.

Shen Cangsheng, Li Xuantong, Su Xuan and the rest below were also fixating their
eyes on Xue Tianhe’s party.

Wen Qingxuan swept a gaze at Xue Tianhe as she softly snorted. A golden warspear
appeared in her hand as it was inclined, pointing downwards. The golden battle
armor wrapped around her as it flaunted her startling figure.

When Xue Tianhe saw the reaction that the other party had from his words, he
narrowed his eyes as he looked at Liu Qingxun and Fang Yun.

“Haha.”

When Liu Qingxun and Fang Yun saw Xue Tianhe’s gaze, they smiled. However, they did
not have any intentions to help as they tapped their feet on the air and flew away.

Although they were in alliance with Ji Xuan, they did not have much of a
relationship with Xue Tianhe. Thus, it was impossible for them to fight with Mu
Chen just for Xue Tianhe.

Especially when Mu Chen had revealed his strength that could cause even them to
feel fear.
After all, entering the finals with their strength was a certainty. Therefore, they
did not want to offend Mu Chen anymore right now.

Mu Chen gave a look at Liu Qingxun and his group, but he did not obstruct them. At
this point in time, he did not wish to fight with those top teams, since it would
only push them closer to Ji Xuan.

When Xue Tianhe saw Liu Qingyun and his group leave, his gaze was dark as he issued
a cold snort. He tapped his feet on the air as a blood river swept out, engulfing
him and his team.

“I’ll let you guys enjoy this for now. I will not allow any of you to smile in the
finals.”

Xue Tianhe’s cold voice resounded as the blood river exploded into a bloody light
as it flew away, disappearing in the blink of an eye.

Although he wanted to deal with Luo Li, the other party’s formation was too
powerful. If they were to fight in that situation, they would definitely lose.
Thus, Xue Tianhe could only sullenly escape with his team.

Mu Chen did not obstruct Xue Tianhe’s party as they left since he knew that this
wasn’t the right time yet.

“If I come across them in the finals, they can dream of returning to the Blood God
Clan!” Mu Chen’s eyes were filled with killing intent. Although it would be a
little troublesome to kill here, the rules would be gone in the finals.

Clearly, he couldn’t wish harder to slaughter the Blood God Clan that had their
eyes on Luo Li.

Luo Li turned her head as her cold gaze rapidly turned gentle. Her rosy lips
lightly rose as she looked extremely charming with her smile.

“Why are you so angry?” Luo Li slightly tilted her head. Looking at Mu Chen, there
were hints of a smile in her crystal-clear eyes.

It must be because of the shocking killing intent that had suddenly surged out from
Mu Chen that made her in a good mood.

“Those bastards are putting their ideas on my wife, how can I not be angry?” Mu
Chen snorted.

“Nonsense, who is your wife?” Luo Li’s face was red as she looked at Mu Chen,
looking angry and shy at the same time.

Mu Chen chuckled as his heart was stirred by the rare looks of Luo Li being shy and
he couldn’t help extending his hand, grabbing the shy girl’s hand into his.

Luo Li was slightly startled. After all, there were too many people present here
and on the spot, she struggled a little. But when she saw the hints of paleness
hidden on Mu Chen’s face, she stopped her struggle as she bit down on her lips,
staring at the direction that Ji Xuan left with a cold gaze.

“Cough.”

A dry cough suddenly resounded. When Mu Chen raised his head, he saw Wu Ling
smiling as he appeared before him. Behind Wu Ling, stood a voluptuous girl wearing
a fresh red long dress that did not have any expression on her face. However, her
eyes were faintly staring at him.
Chapter 586 - The Unfathomable Ji Xuan
“Brother Wu Ling, Brother Wen.”

Mu Chen stared at the decent-looking youths before him as he smiled as he cupped

his hands towards Wu Ling as well as Wen Busheng next to him. “I have to thank the
both of you this time.”

The formation of the two sides was important in this fight with Ji Xuan. If it
wasn’t for the fact that he had managed to pull Wu Ling and Wen Busheng to his
side, the one that would be fighting today would not have been Ji Xuan alone, but
his entire alliance.

The eyes of that scheming fellow were extremely vicious. The instant he felt that
he could deal with Mu Chen if all of them had joined hands together, he would
definitely not hesitate.

However, the appearance of Wu Ling and Wen Busheng had strengthened the formation
of Mu Chen’s party. This made Ji Xuan’s alliance know that even if all of them had
attacked, there wouldn’t be any benefits today. Thus, those fellows chose to watch
from the side as they did not see any advantages.

When Wu Ling heard Mu Chen’s words, he smiled, “Brother Mu is being too polite. If
it wasn’t for Yingying adding fuel to the fire, I would also hesitate a little.”

Mu Chen was a little flabbergasted as he looked at Wu Yingying. Clearly, he never

thought that this girl, who had prejudice of him, would choose to help him.

When Wu Yingying saw his gaze, she snorted in response.

“Thanks.” Mu Chen sincerely thanked her.

Wu Yingying cast her lips aside. Just when she wanted to mock him out of habit, a
smear of redness involuntarily flushed across her face when she saw the gentle
smile on Mu Chen’s face as she swallowed her words and changed them, “That Ji Xuan
isn’t a good guy as well. But if we allow him to carry on pulling people to his
side, it will not be advantageous to us.”

“I was thinking for my Martial Spiritual Academy, I was not trying to help a lecher
like you.” Wu Yingying snorted as she pridefully raised her chin.

Mu Chen coughed as he was a little embarrassed by the name that Wu Yingying was
calling him, especially when Wu Ling’s suspicious gaze was looking at his
direction.

Wu Yingying blushed, even more, when she realized her words as she turned her head
away in guilt, not daring to look at her own brother.

“We did nothing to help. Brother Mu is truly hiding deep ability, truly worthy of
being the Blood Calamity of the Spiritual Road.” Wen Busheng laughed as he looked
at Mu Chen with interest.

“Brother Wen is not simple as well.” Mu Chen smiled in response as he swept his
gaze on Wen Busheng. Thereafter, his gaze stopped at the latter’s fair right hand.
That hand was exceptionally perfect as it was glittering like a gem, flickering
with faint luster. Mu Chen could sense dangerous ripples from his right hand.

“I’m just lucky.” Wen Busheng smiled as he covered his right hand with his sleeve
and did not explain much. Mu Chen also wasn’t bothered by it as everyone had their
own secrets.

“Perhaps the Great Spiritual Academy Tournament will enter the finale in the
remaining time left.” Wu Ling looked at Mu Chen as he said, “In this period of
time, perhaps there might be countless powerful teams targeting the Top 8 in the
rankings. We can’t be certain that Ji Xuan doesn’t have any plots in his retreat
this time. Thus, I feel that we can work closer together in the remaining time
left.”

Wen Busheng nodded his head in agreement. Their reveal this time had angered Ji
Xuan. If Ji Xuan plans to deal with them, it would definitely be troublesome for
them.

Although they weren’t any pushovers, they did not wish to confront with the
monstrous Ji Xuan at this timing.

Mu Chen nodded his head as well, it was always better to have a friend.

Seeing as no one had any disagreements, Wu Ling smiled as he took out three dark-
red jade pendants with light circulating on their surfaces. “This is the Messaging
Jade that I have obtained from a ruin. If anyone of you encounters trouble, all you
have to do is activate it and the two other jade pendants will be able to sense
it.”

“Furthermore, when we are ready, we can also use it as a signal to burn the Academy
Plaques to start the finals.”

To start the finals, half of the Top 16 teams have to burn their Academy Plaques.
The moment this requirement is fulfilled, the Top 8 teams would then enter the
finals.

Mu Chen took a glance at Wen Qingxuan, who was behind him, as the two of them
nodded their heads, before taking a jade pendant from Wu Ling, while Wen Busheng
took the other.

“Haha, today’s event can be considered an end. We no longer have any reasons to
stay here.”

Seeing as the agreement was made, Wu Ling casually laughed as he made a little chat
before bidding his farewell, leading Wu Yingying, whose face was still a little
red, as they left.

After Wu Ling had left, Wen Busheng also bid farewell as he left.

Staring at their leaving figures, Mu Chen felt relieved. The paleness that he had
been suppressing on his face spread out as his figure staggered a little
involuntarily.

When his body staggered, Luo Li quickly supported Mu Chen’s arm. When Wen Qingxuan
saw Luo Li’s reaction, she quietly withdrew her hand that was extending forth. A
charming smile surfaced on her face as she teased, “So you are just forcefully
holding yourself up.”

“Truly Ji Xuan.” Mu Chen said with a soft voice as he continued, “If the battle
went on, it would be tough to end it.”

He had exhausted too much of his Spiritual Energy. If they were to carry on
fighting, he would have to start fighting for his life. After all, Ji Xuan was
powerful.

“You don’t have to undervalue yourself. Ji Xuan didn’t look that good in your
battle as well since he was forced to reveal some of his hidden cards during the
last attack. Otherwise…” Wen Qingxuan replied.

Luo Li nodded her head at Wen Qingxuan’s words. The two earth-shattering attacks
from Mu Chen could be called perfect. One was revealed, while the other was hidden
away, the timing was excellent as well. If it wasn’t for that primordial hawk’s
cry, Ji Xuan would definitely be heavily injured.

“Ji Xuan had concealed his genuine trump card.” Mu Chen said slowly as his black
pupils flickered with a chill. He had heard the primordial hawk’s cry as well,
sensing an indescribable danger coming from it at the same time. The danger that he
felt far surpassed all those he had faced so far in his generation.

Luo Li pondered for a brief moment, before speaking up, “If I am not wrong, there’s
a high chance that the cry was from the Primordial Skydragon Hawk, Ranked 8 of the
Myriad Beast Record.”

“Primordial Skydragon Hawk?”

Mu Chen narrowed his eyes at Luo Li’s words as his gaze was a little shaken. No
wonder there were movements from the egg of the Nine Netherbird. So that hawk cry
actually had such a shocking origin.

The Primordial Skydragon Hawk was Ranked 8 of the Myriad Beast Record, three ranks
higher compared to the Nine Netherbird. In the Great Thousand World, the Primordial
Skydragon Hawk possessed resounding fame. It was a powerful beast compared to the
rest. Even Sovereign Realm experts would be afraid to provoke it.

“Could it be that Ji Xuan had ingested the Primordial Skydragon Hawk’s Soul Essence
in the past?” Mu Chen muttered to himself as his gaze flickered.

In the Spirit Stage of the Spiritual Energy cultivation path, one had the ability
to ingest the Soul Essence of a Spiritual Beast. However, there was a limit to the
Soul Essence. After all, when one gets stronger, the Soul Essence that one had
refined before would gradually lose its effect. Thus, many people who had refined
Soul Essences have all lost their effect when they grew stronger.

However, it wasn’t an absolute situation… when the Soul Essence that one had
refined was powerful to an extent, the power would still be present, becoming a
powerful method for cultivators.

Take Mu Chen’s Nine Netherbird for example…

If Ji Xuan possessed that sort of strength, he should have refined a powerful

Spiritual Beast’s Soul Essence when he was in Spirit Stage. For example… the
powerful Primordial Skydragon Hawk.

Naturally, with his strength at Spirit Stage, it was absolutely impossible for him
to refine a Primordial Skydragon Hawk with his own strength, just like how it was
impossible for Mu Chen to refine the Nine Netherbird. Thus, there should be a
powerful expert that had aided him.

Ji Xuan’s background must be rather complicated.

“That’s highly possible.” Luo Li and Wen Qingxuan nodded their heads with heavy
expressions. If that was the case, then the difficulty of handling Ji Xuan would
without a doubt increase.

Mu Chen breathed out a mouthful of air as his gaze became a little shaken. However,
there wasn’t any fear in his eyes. After all, even if Ji Xuan possessed the Soul
Essence of the Primordial Skydragon Hawk, he possessed the power of Nine Netherbird
as well.

Furthermore, he had a Bloodlink Bond with the Nine Netherbird, the both of them
were similar to a single body. So Mu Chen would be more perfect at fusing with the
power of the Nine Netherbird.

Certainly, the Primordial Skydragon Hawk was ranked higher compared to the Nine
Netherbird. However, that doesn’t mean that it was more powerful compared to the
Nine Netherbird. After all, when Spiritual Beasts reached that level, it would be
hard for them to differentiate their levels when they fight.

The most crucial point was that Nine Nether… was no longer a Spiritual Beast as she
had successfully evolved into the Nine Netherworld Bird. Rising to the levels of
Divine Beasts. The instant she awakens, she would possess strength comparable to
Sovereign Realm!

“How interesting.”

Mu Chen pursed his lips as he smiled. He looked at the direction that Ji Xuan had
left as a chill flickered in his eyes, before turning around and left for the
opposite direction with a wave of his hand.

Seeing his action from below, Shen Cangsheng, Li Xuantong and the rest followed
behind him.

Ji Xuan, let us see who will have the stronger trump card in the upcoming finals.

No matter what… I will beat you this time!

Let the grudges from the Spiritual Road end once and for all in the finals!
Chapter 587 - Fighting for Numero Uno
The battle between Mu Chen and Ji Xuan had spread throughout the Great Spiritual
Academy Tournament in a few days. Everyone was aware of the astonishing battle
between the two powerful figures.

What made others feel even more astonished was the fact that Ji Xuan, who held the
Numero Uno of the point rankings for a long time had actually retreated from the
fight, as the fame possessed by both parties were not equal.

Although Ji Xuan did not lose the battle as he retreated, it did show the fear he
had for Mu Chen had grown to the extent that he would have to be cautious to deal
with Mu Chen, even if he had to lose some of his fame.

Thus, Mu Chen’s fame grew to a frightening extent in just a few days time. So much
so that he was famed to the point that he could rival Ji Xuan.

At this moment, every single team was well-aware of Mu Chen’s name as it was like
thunder piercing the ears.

Even if the battle between Mu Chen and Ji Xuan sparked many discussions, the ripple
caused by the battle started to quickly die down as the Great Spiritual Academy
Tournament entered the most chaotic stage.

There wasn’t an exact time for the tournament to end, but as long as eight of the
Academy Plaques of the Top 16 were ignited, the Great Spiritual Academy Tournament
would enter into the final stage. Because of that, everyone could vaguely feel that
the final stage would be approaching soon.

The elimination rate of the Great Spiritual Academy Tournament was too harsh.
Countless teams had participated, those that could successfully ascend to the next
stage were only eight teams.

That sort of elimination rate was simply too frightening.

That was precisely the reason why this period was the most chaotic moment of the
Great Spiritual Academy Tournament. The eyes of many teams had turned red in order
to fight for points.

The result of this was endless chaotic battles to the point that every single spot
of this Shattered Continent’s central region had battles breaking out.

All the capable teams had their eyes redden as they hunted for prey. At the same
time, without their knowledge, they were already preyed on by teams that were
stronger than them when they were searching for prey…

In this period of time, there wasn’t a definite classification between the hunters
and the hunted.

As the chaotic battles spread throughout the Great Spiritual Academy Tournament,
there were drastic changes to the Top 16 spots as well. The points were crazily
jumping every single moment…

Right now, those in the Top 8 were all familiar teams.

Rank 1, Saint Spiritual Academy - Captain Ji Xuan. [108,000 points]

Rank 2, Myriad Phoenix Spiritual Academy - Captain Wen Qingxuan. [90,000 points]

Rank 3, Martial Spiritual Academy - Captain Wu Ling. [83,000 points]

Rank 5, Blood Spiritual Academy - Captain Xue Tianhe. [70,000 points]

Rank 6, Nine Cauldrons Spiritual Academy - Captain Fang Yun. [65,000 points]

Rank 7, Undefeated Spiritual Academy - Captain Wen Busheng. [62,000 points]

Rank 8, Northern Heavens Spiritual Academy - Captain Mu Chen. [60,000 points]

The current Top 8 were all occupied by the best eight teams in the Great Spiritual
Academy Tournament. Behind the Top 8, there were teams frantically dashing towards
the dividing line. However, they were short-lived as they were stunningly buried by
the other dark horses and were reduced to merely mediocre.

Shen Cangsheng’s team managed to reach Rank 10. However, it was tough for them to
climb further as they did not possess any qualification to go into the Top 8, even
from the fact that the strength of their team was pretty strong. After all, there
were too many powerful teams suddenly emerging in this period of time.

If it wasn’t for the fact that they had been together with Mu Chen, their outcome
would also be being buried by the other dark horses.
The entire Great Spiritual Academy Tournament carried on in the madness. Even if
many teams knew that their efforts would all be in vain, they refused to give up so
easily…

Flames of war expanded throughout the Great Spiritual Academy Tournament.

Boom!

Violent Spiritual Energy soared up into the sky in these plains as more than ten
human figures charged towards the slender figure with their eyes reddened,
unleashing their powerful Spiritual Energy attacks as they burst forth in waves.

Boom!

However, there wasn’t any effect from their attacks. That slender figure merely
took a step forth and there was dark lightning that seemingly flew from his body.

Brilliant lightning spread out, sending the dozen or more figures flying back from
the impact with blood spurting from their mouths. At the same time, those dozen or
so figures drew marks of over a hundred meters in length on the ground.

Lightning dissipated as a charming face of a youth was revealed. Aside from Mu

Chen, who else could it be? He was smiling as he looked at those unfortunate
fellows. He made a gripping gesture as three Academy Plaque flew from their sleeves
into his hand.

Without batting an eye, he took the points as he stared at his Academy Plaque that
had thousands of additional points as he helplessly flung the corner of his lips to
the side. He flicked his fingers as he threw back the three Academy Plaques.

He turned around after dealing with those fellows, there was a similar battle as
well. Luo Li, Wen Qingxuan and the rest were surrounded by a dozen or more teams.
Although the other party had the advantage in numbers, the outcome was close to
being one-sided.

Although these teams that were preyed upon by Mu Chen’s group had decent strength,
it was not on the level comparable to his. Thus, the battle only lasted for a few
minutes before it ended.

Luo Li, Wen Qingxuan and the rest divided the Academy Plaques and obtained points.

“That fella Ji Xuan is pretty quick in his actions.”

Wen Qingxuan approached as she gave a glance to her Academy Plaque with her brows
narrowed. There was an increment of over 20,000 points for Ji Xuan, his speed of
increasing his points was faster compared to them.

Shen Cangsheng and his team looked at the points possessed by the Numero Uno of the
point rankings as they involuntarily sighed. That frightening amount of points was
something that could make those looking at it feel their scalp tingling.

Mu Chen looked at Ji Xuan’s name for a long time, before smiling and said, “No
worries, we’ll work harder than.”

Wen Qingxuan shifted her charming gaze towards Mu Chen as she hesitated for a brief
moment. “Hey, I will not be taking the biggest share in our collaboration anymore.”
“Hmm?” Mu Chen was startled by her words.

“I’m well-aware that you are trying to return me the Numero Uno. But I feel that
the points are already sufficient. Right now, your main objective is to surpass
him.” Wen Qingxuan responded as her fine fingers pointed at the Numero Uno on the
Academy Plaque.

During this period, Mu Chen had given the majority share of the points that they
had obtained from assaulting the other teams to Wen Qingxuan. Whereas he only
obtained a sufficient amount to maintain at Rank 8.

“Right now, the Numero Uno doesn’t mean much.” Mu Chen spoke indifferently.

When Wen Qingxuan saw how indifferent Mu Chen was, she was a little furious as she
refused him, “Since you are planning to fight with Ji Xuan, you shouldn’t be so
passive about it. Even if the point rankings don’t have much meaning behind it
right now, are you okay with him surpasses you by that much? Even if you are okay
with it, I… I’m not.”

Mu Chen was a little astonished as he looked at Wen Qingxuan, muttering how weird
she was. Here, he was trying his best to push her up to Numero Uno and she was
unhappy because of it?

Shen Cangsheng and Li Xuantong exchanged a glance as they spoke out as well,
“Captain Wen Qingxuan is right in her words. If you are not planning to fight with
Ji Xuan for real, then it doesn’t matter if his points surpassed us by this much.
But since the fight has already started, then you should suppress the other party
with your full strength.”

“Perhaps you are not concerned about the points. But who knows if Ji Xuan and his
team are mocking you right now seeing your points at Rank 8…”

Seeing as they were taking it so seriously, Mu Chen’s mood changed as well as he

hesitated for a brief moment, before looking at Luo Li and sought her opinion.
“What do you think?”

“I trust in your decisions.”

Luo Li shallowly smiled as she held Mu Chen’s hand with her ice-cold hands and said
with a soft tone, “But, Mu Chen, I have always considered you to be more
outstanding than him.”

“Do you remember what you had said to me back in the Spiritual Road?”

Luo Li’s crystal-clear pupils were looking at Mu Chen as she smiled, “You told me
at that time that… you will bring me to stand in the brightest spot in the
Spiritual Road.”

Her words heavily struck Mu Chen’s heart as he blankly stared at the charming face
of the girl. Certain old memories resurfaced from the depths of his mind.

At that time, he was still very young and behaved befitting of his age. It was a
dark night with a warm bonfire that was lit up. At that moment, he was a little
drunk from the alcohol that he had fished out from the tree hole. He held onto the
young girl’s hand as he spoke directly to her. “I will lead you to stand at the
brightest spot in the Spiritual Road.”

However, he wasn’t able to fulfill his promise as he was expelled from that event…
When he left, the young girl’s figure looked especially lonely.

Mu Chen slowly clenched his fist as a peculiar feeling surged forth in his heart,
traveling into his brain. Not knowing when it had started, the blood in his body
was boiling.

“I’m sorry.” Mu Chen responded with a soft tone.

Luo Li smiled at Mu Chen’s apology as she shook her head.

“I wasn’t able to fulfill my promise to you in the past…” Mu Chen’s gaze shifted
towards the Numero Uno on the point rankings. As he stared at the name, a fire
blazed in the depths of his pupils.

“This time… I will not break my promise.”

“The Numero Uno of the point rankings… is mine!”

Chapter 588 - Splitting in two ways
The objective was certainly a problem for Mu Chen’s current team to aim for Numero
Uno in the point rankings. After all, there was an enormous distance between their
points compared to Ji Xuan

Mu Chen was well-aware that the huge gap between them wasn’t something that could
be pulled closer through ordinary means.

Therefore, they couldn’t afford to use ordinary methods at this point in time.

It was a common knowledge to everyone that the Top 16 had the most points in the
Great Spiritual Academy Tournament. Generally speaking, the Top 16 teams
represented the strongest teams in the tournament.

Thus, very few teams had the Top 16 as their targets. The majority of the
participating teams would search for the teams that they could handle based on
their strength to seize points, few would attempt to target the Top 16.

They knew that there was a certain degree of danger to it and thus, they did not
aim for those top teams.

If Mu Chen wished to chase after Ji Xuan, he could only take the risk and hope for
victory. As a result, he placed his targets on the Top 16 teams that were ranked
after the 8, with Shen Cangsheng’s team aside.

Furthermore, Mu Chen no longer collaborated with Wen Qingxuan in this mission. He

only took along Shen Cangsheng, Li Xuantong, Su Xuan and Xu Huang for it.

He did not even bring Luo Li along as he required her and Wen Qingxuan for another
task, to cause trouble for Ji Xuan.

He did not need the both of them to defeat Ji Xuan. Based on their strength and the
support of their teams, they could definitely cause some trouble for Ji Xuan. At
least they would be able to greatly decrease their efficiency of gaining points.

Generally speaking, it wasn’t too wise for them to split up in this period of the
Great Spiritual Academy Tournament. After all, they could be targeted by the other
teams that had teamed up. However, Mu Chen wasn’t worried about this factor as he
had great confidence with Wen Qingxuan and Luo Li. With the two of them uniting,
they were a force that not even he could defeat.
Therefore, Mu Chen was more assured of them both compared to himself.

As for seizing points, that would have to depend on Mu Chen’s capability.

Violent Spiritual Energy swept out in the plains.

There were a dozen or more figures in the path of the Spiritual Energy. It was
clearly a gang up as there were over twenty people in the surroundings. As for
their target, it was naturally the team that was trapped inside their encirclement.

Despite the fact that they were at the disadvantage in terms of numbers, the
shocking fact was that the group that ganged up on them was the one slowly losing.

“Ssssssssss!”

A sharp explosion of wind roared as a human figure mysteriously appeared. He held a

black long spear in his hand, the spear tip was extremely sharp, like a hawk’s
beak. Even space was torn apart as Spiritual Energy flowed.

That figure had powerful ripples of Spiritual Energy around him. He had simply
charged into the encirclement, breaking the formation as light spears shone.

The group that was involved in the encirclement was in chaos. No matter how their
Captain tried to yell, they weren’t able to unite their attacks.

That human figure relentlessly pursued them and in just a few minutes, the majority
of the encircling team was wounded by him. Lastly, there was a painful howl as
their Academy Plaque was seized.

“Tsk, tsk, did you think that you would be able to hunt us, the Demonic Vulture
Spiritual Academy just because you found help? How stupid!”

That figure halted, revealing his skinny and shriveled body. It was a youth dressed
in black robes with a pair of gloomy-looking eyes. He had an aquiline nose as he
ruthlessly trampled on a person to the point that blood was spewed from his kick.

“Haha, Boss, we have obtained another 2,000 points.”

From the rear of that black-robed youth, four figures skimmed over. They looked at
their Academy Plaques as they grinned, “If this goes on, we might be able to catch
up to Mu Chen, who is at the 8th Rank.”

“Mu Chen? Hmph, that fellow has been in the limelight a lot, recently.” When that
black-robed youth heard that name, he coldly snorted as he spoke with jealousy in
his tone.

“Hehe, Boss, you are not weaker compared to him. It was just that we have not
encountered him. Otherwise, we would witness for ourselves how powerful Mu Chen
is.” Hearing the words of the black-robed figure, the four other teammates
immediately gave praise.

Hearing the praise, the black-robed youth’s face became a little better. Just when
he was about to speak, his gaze suddenly changed as he raised his head, looking at
the hillside not far away, there were several figures that slowly appeared in
flashes.
“Haha, since you guys want to be witnesses, why don’t we make it today? I, Mu Chen,
am looking forward to it.” A clear and bright laughter resounded from the hillside.
A youth with a slender and tall figure appeared in the sight of the Demonic Vulture
Spiritual Academy’s team.

“Mu Chen?!”

Hearing that name, not only did the faces of the four members of the Demonic
Vulture Spiritual Academy drastically change, even the mouth of the black-robed
youth was slightly trembling.

“Mu Chen, we have always minded our own business. What are you trying to do by
suddenly appear here?” The black-robed youth spoke with a heavy voice as his eyes
flashed with alertness. Clearly, the person before him did not come with good
intentions.

“I just want to borrow the Academy Plaque from Captain Xu Yao.” Mu Chen lightly
smiled as he glared at the black-robed youth before him. The team before him wasn’t
a nameless one.

Captain Xu Yao of the Demonic Vulture Spiritual Academy, was ranked 9th in the
point rankings with 40,800 points.

The highest ranking that this team of the Demonic Vulture Spiritual Academy had
reached their peak was Rank 6. However, as the competition became more and more
intense later on, they were starting to be surpassed and fell to Rank 9 as of
today.

However, the strength of this team was extremely powerful. Shen Cangsheng’s team
had encountered them in the past and fought as well. However, they weren’t able to
gain any advantage from them and they had to retreat.

Clearly, this team was the first prey chosen by Mu Chen.

“Haha, so you are after our points. Captain Mu Chen, your appetite is pretty big!”
Xu Yao furiously smiled. He knew the rules and that those of the Top 16 would
generally not interfere with each other as each of them was powerful. At this point
in time, paying a considerable price just to deal with their team was absolutely
unwise. Thus, from his point-of-view, Mu Chen was blinded by points.

Mu Chen did not reply as he smiled, he chose to speak with his actions.

He took a step forth as black light exploded on the surface of his body. Seven
lightning runes surfaced on his chest and at the same time, a scarlet pillar of
light soared up into the horizon from his head, taking the form of a titanic
demonic pillar.

Mu Chen clearly did not intend to take his time as he pushed his Lightning God’s
Physique to its limits from the start and he even summoned the Great Meru Demonic
Pillar right from the start.

He planned to end this battle as fast as possible.

“Go!”

Mu Chen did not have any expression on his face as he flew out at lightning speed
with a stomp of his foot. He hugged towards the empty air before him as the Great
Meru Demonic Pillar fell from the sky, a huge shadow drawn out by the pillar was
shrouding towards Xu Yao’s team.
At his rear, Shen Cangsheng, Li Xuantong and the rest of his team had also pushed
their Spiritual Energy to the limits as they exploded forth.

Seeing the torrential waves of killing intent from Mu Chen’s team, the faces of Xu
Yao’s team turned extremely ugly.

With that, Spiritual Energy that was even more violent compared to before exploded
in this region.

When the battle ended, huge cracks appeared on the plains that looked like spider
webs. The wretched sight was heart-alarming.

Mu Chen stood in the sky as the lightning around him had already dissipated. He
grasped the air as an Academy Plaque streaked out, landing in his palm from Xu
Yao’s sleeve, who was embedded in the cracks on the ground.

Mu Chen indifferently took the points from the Academy Plaque. In an instant, the
points in his Academy Plaque that was roughly around 60,000 grew to 80,000. His
ranking also followed as he flew up from Rank 8 to 6.

“Thanks for that.”

Mu Chen threw the Academy Plaque back to Xu Yao as he cupped his hands and flew
off. Shen Cangsheng and the rest slightly tidied themselves as they followed
behind.

They had to rush to the location where their next prey was at.

As Mu Chen and his team left, Xu Yao gave out an enraged roar. The roar was similar
to the roar of a beast.

At the same time, Mu Chen defeated Xu Yao.

In another location in the central region, several figures stood in the sky, it was
Ji Xuan’s team.

“Captain, the points of Mu Chen’s team have suddenly soared, they are currently at
Rank 6…” Behind Ji Xuan, the youth named Mu Feng said with his brows narrowed.

Ji Xuan’s eyes narrowed from his words as he took out his Academy Plaque and looked
at it for a long while, before replying, “Xu Yao of Rank 9 was suddenly kicked out
of the Top 16…”

“Mu Chen is actually so daring to target a team of this level?” Mu Feng exclaimed.

Ji Xuan’s eyes flickered as he coldly smiled, “Seems like he’s trying to aim for
the Numero Uno of the point rankings, how naïve he is…”

“What should we do, then?” Mu Feng asked.

“We will start targeting the teams after the Top 8 without any reservations. We
will target them all!” Ji Xuan’s cold voice rang out.

“Great!” Mu Feng grinned.

Ji Xuan waved his hand and just when he was about to move, his eyes narrowed before
his hand could fully wave down. He slowly raised his head as he saw a light
appearing from the mountain peak. Thereafter, the two leaders of the team were
clearly in their sights.

“Wen Qingxuan!”

“Luo Li!”

When Mu Feng saw the two familiar figures, his face instantly changed.

“You guys don’t have to harass the other teams now.”

Wen Qingxuan laughed as she looked at Ji Xuan. Thereafter, she tightened her grip
on the warspear as she spoke, “But then again, if you guys are eyeing on the points
we have, then go for it. We’ll see who’ll be able to defeat the other.”

Ji Xuan’s face slowly turned icy.

Mu Chen, what a good strategy!

Chapter 589 - The price to pay for rapidly rising in the ranks
In just one day, there was a drastic change to the Top 16 in the point rankings.
Clearly, it had also caused a storm of commotion in this vast central region.

They realized that aside from one team of the Northern Heavens Spiritual Academy
that was after Rank 8, the rest of those that were in the Top 16 after Rank 8 were
all kicked out of the point rankings.

Those replacing them were powerful teams that had newly appeared.

If it was just one or two teams, the changes might not attract that much attention.
After all, the battle for points right now in the Great Spiritual Academy
Tournament was simply too intense, even those powerful teams could be easily
dragged down.

However, when the changes were all at the same time, there would, without a doubt,
be astonishments. Especially when they saw the team that was on Rank 8 soaring on
the point rankings at a terrifying speed. In the end, that team managed to surpass
the Rank 3, Wu Ling. When that team was able to stand firmly on Rank 3, the
exclamation of astonishment became heavier.

At this point of time, even a retard could tell why those powerful teams were
kicked out…

The cause of this was the one that recently had his name spreading throughout the
Great Spiritual Academy Tournament, Mu Chen!

“That fella is abnormal. How could he defeat so many powerful teams in one day? Was
he not afraid that he would meet with unexpected failure?”

The entire Great Spiritual Academy Tournament was in a clamor. It was out of their
imagination that Mu Chen would be insane to such an extent, to the point that he
would place his targets onto those powerful teams.

In addition, the terrifying fact was that he succeeded!

In just one day, Mu Chen had defeated seven teams that had experts of Second Grade
Spirit Disaster in them!

The achievement made many others dumbstruck as his actions were a little insane.
Was Mu Chen not afraid that those powerful teams would put up a life-and-death
struggle that would result in his defeat?

In this current situation, the instant Mu Chen was gravely injured, there would be
many powerful teams aiming at him… precisely so, that was the reason why those
teams in the Top 8 did not lay their hands on those teams as they were afraid as
well.

They did not dare to try it, despite knowing that it was an efficient way of
obtaining points.

However, no one had expected that the method which they dared not to try was
attempted by Mu Chen and he succeeded.

At a lonely peak.

Wu Ling was looking at the team that had surpassed him on the Academy Plaque as he
helplessly cast his lips aside.

“What is Mu Chen trying to do? Why did he suddenly go crazy, is he trying to snatch
the Numero Uno from Ji Xuan?” Wu Yingying, who was behind Wu Ling said in doubt.

“That should be his objective.”

Wu Ling smiled, “Didn’t you notice that the efficiency rate of Ji Xuan’s team
slowed down? I heard that they are under pressure at this moment. Wen Qingxuan and
Luo Li joined hands to obstruct Ji Xuan. Although it is a little problematic for
them to get rid of Ji Xuan with their strength, there is nothing Ji Xuan can do if
the two of them are just intending to cause trouble for him. Haha, they are trying
to give Mu Chen time.”

“The grudges between those two has been fully unveiled. In the Spiritual Road, Ji
Xuan schemed against Mu Chen once and this time, Mu Chen is returning the favour.”

“However, Mu Chen must have a huge amount of exhaustion as well to challenge so

many powerful teams in a day. If he is injured, the other powerful teams would
definitely be eyeing him.” Wu Yingying said worriedly.

She was well-aware that no matter how powerful Mu Chen was, there would definitely
be a considerable amount of exhaustion for him to challenge so many powerful teams.
Furthermore, Luo Li and Wen Qingxuan weren’t by his side at the moment. Thus, he
was probably being targeted by many teams.

Those powerful teams would definitely not allow Mu Chen to recover his strength.
Therefore, this period of time was the most dangerous for their team.

“Right now, the difference between Ji Xuan and Mu Chen’s points is only around
20,000.” Wu Yingying stared at the Academy Plaque. Ji Xuan still held the Numero
Uno with over 130,000 points, whereas Wen Qingxuan occupied the second with 110,000
points. Mu Chen on the other hand, was just a little lower compared to her.

In just one day, Mu Chen managed to jump from Rank 8 to 3, pulling the enormous
distance between him and Ji Xuan closer.

“His strategy half-succeeded. Right now, he must be thinking about how to keep his
points under his huge amount of exhaustion.”
Wu Ling said with a faint tone, “Perhaps Wen Qingxuan and Luo Li are rushing over
to protect Mu Chen right now to intimidate the other teams that are eyeing him.
However, Ji Xuan will definitely not allow them to successfully leave.”

Wu Yingying nodded her head as well. Mu Chen’s current state might be the worst
considering that the battles he had gone through.

“Hmm?”

Wu Ling suddenly exclaimed as his gaze was focused, staring at the Academy Plaque.

“What is it?” Wu Yingying hastily questioned.

“Finally, it seems that a powerful team could not hold it anymore.” Wu Ling pointed
towards the Academy Plaque. It was a familiar team that was rapidly approaching Mu
Chen.

That team was Rank 6 on the point rankings, the team from the Nine Cauldrons
Spiritual Academy with the Captain being an ally of Ji Xuan, Fang Yun!

“Fang Yun is going to attack Mu Chen!” Wu Yingying’s face instantly changed.

Whooooooosh!

Screeches of wind resounded in the blue sky.

Mu Chen’s figure rapidly flew with Shen Cangsheng, Li Xuantong and the other two
closely following behind. The Spiritual Energy ripples around them were a little
chaotic at this moment.

They defeated seven powerful teams in one day. Although Mu Chen handled the
strongest person in the opponent’s team, Shen Cangsheng and the rest dealt with the
remaining enemies.

Therefore, they had a huge amount of exhaustion. In addition to the lack of time,
the Spiritual Energy within their bodies could not recover.

At the same time, they did not dare to remain in one location for too long as they
knew that there were many eyes staring at them.

Shen Cangsheng looked at Mu Chen before him. Although the youth maintained a calm
expression, he knew that Mu Chen had the greatest exhaustion as he ended his
battles as soon as possible. Thus, he exhausted a lot of his strength.

“Mu Chen, Luo Li and Wen Qingxuan must have been hindered. Otherwise, their speed
would not be so slow.” Shen Cangsheng inhaled a mouthful of air as he said with a
heavy voice, staring at the Academy Plaque.

Mu Chen lightly nodded his head. Ji Xuan wasn’t someone that was easy to deal with.
Knowing this, he definitely wouldn’t let Luo Li’s group leave and regroup with them
so easily.

“We have to find a place to recover ourselves. Otherwise, we won’t be able to last
for long.” Li Xuantong spoke with a heavy expression, “I can feel that many teams
are secretly approaching us.”
“Yeah, follow me. When we reach there, our mission can be considered a success.” Mu
Chen nodded his head as he increased his speed.

When Shen Cangsheng and Li Xuantong heard his words, their minds jolted as they
quickly followed behind.

The group of five traveled at a rapid speed. Along the way, they met some teams
that were greedily looking at them. But because of Mu Chen’s fearsome power, no one
dared to obstruct them.

As they traveled at rapid speed, Mu Chen’s speed started to slow down after half an
hour. The end of his sight was a pitch-black forest.

The forest was vast and covered with spike trees with a peculiar ripple lingering
within. Those thorny trees shaped this forest similarly to a hedgehog.

This forest wasn’t unfamiliar at all, it was the spike trees forest of the Divine
Wood Mountain. In this forest, there was the Hidden Spiritual Courtyard.

This was Mu Chen’s destination, since he knew that the power of this forest was
able to seal Spiritual Energy. Anyone that went in could not use their Spiritual
Energy. Thus, if they could go in, they would be thoroughly safe. As long as no one
bothered them, they would be able to recover their energy. When they had thoroughly
recovered, those eyeing fellows would no longer be able to target them anymore.

“Go in!”

Mu Chen made a gesture towards his team. The four people rejoiced as they increased
their speed and was about to enter the spike forest.

“Careful!”

However, just when they was about to land, Mu Chen’s face suddenly changed as his
body flashed, appearing right at the front as black lightning exploded off him.

Boom! Boom!

A shocking Spiritual Energy swept out from a mountain peak as it heavily bombarded
Mu Chen. Black lightning flickered as it withstood the bombardment. However, Mu
Chen’s figure slightly trembled.

His gaze was dark as he stared at the mountain peak. There were several people at
the location and the one leading was familiar to him, Fang Yun of the Nine
Cauldrons Spiritual Academy.

Fang Yun was holding onto a Divine Cauldron, glittering with spiritual light as he
looked at Mu Chen with a smile hung on his face.

“Captain Mu Chen, I have been waiting here for quite some time.”
Chapter 590 - Dragon-Tiger Cauldron
Outside the black spike forest stood Mu Chen’s group of five. Mu Chen’s brows were
slightly narrowed as he looked ahead. On the hillside, Fang Yun was smiling as he
looked at him with four of his teammates behind him eyeing their group, as well as
powerful Spiritual Energy ripples around them.

The direction of Fang Yun and his team blocked off the path for them to enter the
forest. If they intended to enter the forest, they would have the pass-through Fang
Yun’s team.
From the looks of it, Fang Yun had been waiting for a long time.

“Haha, Captain Mu Chen, you can’t blame me for this, you can only blame yourself
for being too greedy.” Fang Yun smiled as he looked at Mu Chen.

Mu Chen narrowed his eyes as he spoke, “Seems like Captain Fang Yun is not
intending to let me pass?”

Fang Yun lightly shook his head as ferocity flashed past his eyes, looking at Mu
Chen. The gentle smile still hung on his face as he replied, “Captain Mu Chen, I
know that you are formidable. But after going through seven battles, I believe that
you have exhausted a huge amount of your energy dealing with those Captains, right?
Do you still have half of your fighting strength right now?”

“Furthermore… even if you managed to maintain your strength, your teammates are
already a spent force. If you want to fight with us, I believe that your chances of
winning aren’t too high.”

Mu Chen’s expression was indifferent as Shen Cangsheng and Li Xuantong’s gazes grew
colder behind him, tightening their grip on their long spears.

“Therefore, I have to ask Captain Mu Chen to hand your Academy Plaque over to me.”
Fang Yun extended his hand to Mu Chen as he laughed, “Don’t try to resist. Right
now, there are many people eyeing your team as well. I’m afraid that your team
can’t go through another round of exhaustion.”

A wind breezed by, but it wasn’t able to scatter the frozen atmosphere at this
moment.

Fang Yun wore a cold smile on his face. His gaze stared straight towards Mu Chen.
Admittedly, after the fight with Ji Xuan, Mu Chen’s fame had soared to the peak.
However, he, Fang Yun, was not a weakling as well. Otherwise, he wouldn’t be able
to come this far.

The two gazes interweaved in the air as sparks flickered.

“From the looks of it, you guys don’t seem too interested in my suggestion.” When
Fang Yun saw that Mu Chen had no intentions of handing over his Academy Plaque, he
helplessly smiled. However, there wasn’t any warmth in his smile.

“Since that’s the case, then I can only help myself to it.”

Fang Yun slowly lifted his palm up. On his palm, there was a palm-sized Divine
Cauldron with spiritual light flowing on the surface. Ancient runes were imprinted
on the bronze cauldron, looking vivid and life-like. Roars of a dragon could be
heard as if it came from the surface of the cauldron.

This Divine Cauldron quietly floated on Fang Yun’s palm. Although there weren’t any
terrifying ripples coming from it, Mu Chen could sense the dense danger.

“Divine Artifact?” Mu Chen said softly as his eyes narrowed, looking at the bronze
cauldron in Fang Yun’s hand.

Mu Chen had a Quasi-Divine Artifact, the Black Tortoise Seal. However, he could
vaguely sense that the cauldron in Fang Yun’s hand was more formidable compared to
his Black Tortoise Seal.

The Black Tortoise Seal was a Quasi-Divine Artifact. Therefore, didn’t that imply
that this bronze cauldron had already surpassed the level of Quasi-Divine Artifact
and reached the Low Rank Divine Artifact?!

Low Rank Divine Artifact, entering the category of Divine Artifact, possessing
unmeasurable power!

“Haha, this is the Divine Artifact of our Nine Cauldrons Spiritual Academy, a Low
Rank Divine Artifact, the Dragon-Tiger Divine Cauldron…” Fang Yun looked at Mu Chen
as he indifferently said, “Mu Chen, did you think that there was no one in the
Great Spiritual Academy Tournament that could deal with you, just because you could
fight with Ji Xuan on an equal level?”

Low Rank Divine Artifact - Dragon-Tiger Divine Cauldron.

When Fang Yun spoke the name, the look on Shen Cangsheng and the rest involuntarily
changed. Although they had yet to witness the might of Fang Yun’s cauldron, the
word Divine Artifact was sufficient to instill fear in their hearts. The Divine
Artifact was a powerful term in the Great Thousand World, no matter where it was.

Those that possessed a Divine Artifact could even challenge those stronger than
themselves.

Shhhhhhhhu! Suuuuuuu!

Just when Mu Chen and Fang Yun were facing off, there were screeches of wind
ringing from the far away horizon. Streaks of light could be seen from far away,
traveling at a rapid speed.

Clearly, those were probably teams that were after Mu Chen’s team.

Those teams stopped a distance away from the spike tree forest as they threw their
gaze over. When they saw that Mu Chen’s team was obstructed by Fang Yun, excitement
surged in their eyes.

Mu Chen’s current state wasn’t good. If he could battle with a powerful expert like
Fang Yun, he would have to pay a huge price. At that time, they would have their
opportunity.

“Fang Yun actually took out his Dragon-Tiger Divine Cauldron… seems like even he
fears Mu Chen.” The eyes of some were sharp as they saw through the bronze cauldron
in Fang Yun’s palm with a glance.

“Mu Chen is not an easy opponent. Even if his state isn’t in tip-top shape, it
would be stupid to underestimate him. But clearly, Fang Yun isn’t someone like
that.”

“Haha, fight. Fight as ferocious as possible, best if the both of them are gravely
injured. At that time, we will have our opportunity.”

“…”

Whispers were coming from far away and the gazes directed over weren’t good.

Mu Chen had already taken notice of those distant people. Shen Cangsheng and Li
Xuantong exchanged a glance as their hearts felt heavy.

Fang Yun was smiling as he looked at Mu Chen’s team. Thereafter, his hand seal
changed and the bronze cauldron flew out from his hand. Spiritual light spread out
as the bronze cauldron expanded in size, instantly expanding to over a few hundred
meters in diameter.

Above the bronze cauldron, spiritual light expanded, emitting unspeakable dignity
from it. Even the space showed signs of vague distortions from the dignified
ripples.

“Go!”

Fang Yun had an indifferent expression as the bronze cauldron flew out with a
rustle, appearing above Mu Chen’s team. Thereafter, a fearsome suppressive power
that was similar to a mountain was being emitted.

Bang!

When the cauldron pressed down, the space instantly exploded as the shadow engulfed
them, causing the faces of Shen Cangsheng and the rest to drastically change from
the pressure.

The cauldron had still not landed, yet it was already so terrifying. The might of a
Divine Artifact truly was outstanding.

Mu Chen’s gaze was cold as he watched the cauldron fall. He waved his sleeves as a
brilliant spiritual light shot forth in a streak of light as it clashed against the
cauldron.

Boom!

A crisp metallic ringing resounded as the ear-piercing sound waves caused an

explosion in this space. An energy fluctuation that could be seen with the naked-
eyes exploded, spreading to a scope of a few thousand meters.

Everyone raised their heads, looking at the two colossal objects. There were a dark
cyan-colored stone seal and a bronze cauldron…

At this instance, both objects were emitting terrifying Spiritual Energy ripples as
they clashed. Every single time they clashed, it would stir up a Spiritual Energy
tornado.

The stone seal was the Black Tortoise Seal, a Quasi-Divine Artifact in Mu Chen’s
possession.

However, the formidable Black Tortoise Seal had finally met its match. No matter
how it emitted spiritual light, it was unable to defeat the bronze cauldron. On the
contrary, it showed little signs of being suppressed by the boundless spiritual
light…

“Haha, Quasi-Divine Artifact? But it seems to be a little inferior compared to a

genuine Divine Artifact.” Fang Yun watched the scene as he smiled.

Rustle!

Mu Chen faintly glanced at Fang Yun as he stomped his feet. His figure flew towards
his target, Fang Yun.

“If you are at your peak, maybe I might not dare to confront you. But to act so
recklessly at your current state, are you not being a little too overconfident?”
When Fang Yun saw Mu Chen flying towards his direction, he coldly smiled without
any panic.
“Palm of the Divine Cauldron!”

Fang Yun’s hand seal changed as a boundless Spiritual Energy storm swept from his
body, turning into a titanic bronze hand. On the bronze hand, imprints of a dragon
and tiger could be vaguely seen on it.

“Go back!”

Fang Yun barked as the titanic bronze hand heavily pressed down towards Mu Chen,
along with boundless fearsome power.

Fang Yun was ruthless in his attacks as he knew that Mu Chen’s Spiritual Energy had
undergone a huge exhaustion. If they were to forcefully clash, the latter would
definitely not be able to fight with him.

At the rear, the faces of Shen Cangsheng and the rest drastically changed when they
saw Fang Yun’s ruthless moves. From the strength of Fang Yun’s attacks, that fellow
must be endlessly approaching Third Grade Spiritual Disaster.

If Mu Chen was at his peak, he might not have any troubles dealing with Fang Yun.
However, he had a huge amount of exhaustion in his Spiritual Energy in his current
state. Therefore, the fighting power that he could exhibit was also weakened.

Rumble!

Mu Chen raised his head and looked at the titanic hand that was pressing down.
However, going against Fang Yun’s expectations, there wasn’t any panic on his face.

“You are still going to pretend at this time?” Fang Yun’s expression turned cold.
His mind stirred as the titanic bronze hand became even more violent.

“Even if my current state isn’t good, it is still not something someone like you
can make use of!”

A mocking smile surfaced on Mu Chen’s indifferent expression. Thereafter, he

started to form bizarre seals with one of his hands.

Boom!

In the instant Mu Chen had completed his hand seals, the heavens and earth seemed
as if they had violently jolted. Thereafter, everyone could feel the sky turning
darker.

Rustle!

Far away, those teams that were watching the fight had their facial expressions
drastically change when they raised their heads.

In the spike forest, those spike trees that were flickering with radiance were
suddenly rapidly withering away. As those trees withered, black Spiritual Energy
soared into the sky, looking like black tidal waves.

It was a scene that looked like a black flood had fallen from the sky in
destruction.

Fang Yun’s face changed as well from the sight of it.

Chapter 591 - Smashing his way through

The black Spiritual Energy appeared like a black screen in the sky as it flickered
with a cold luster as it soared. Powerful Spiritual Energy pressure swept out as if
it was trying to set off a tornado in this region.

Everyone was dumbstruck as they watched the scene before them since they could
sense how powerful that black Spiritual Energy was. They found it too hard to
believe that Mu Chen could still exhibit such strength even in his current state.

Fang Yun was also looking at the vast and mighty black Spiritual Energy with a
little shock in his eyes.

“Damn it!”

Fang Yun heavily clenched his teeth. Originally, he had planned to take action
while Mu Chen’s state wasn’t good and seize his Academy Plaque. However, who could
have expected that even after so many battles, Mu Chen could still exhibit such
strength?

However, there was no way he could retreat at this point in time.

Boom!

Fang Yun’s gaze grew cold as he changed his hand seals, causing the titanic bronze
hand to ferociously slam down.

Mu Chen still wore an indifferent expression as he flicked his finger. The powerful
Spiritual Energy swept out like several tidal waves as it clashed against the
bronze hand.

Boom!

Terrifying Spiritual Energy shock waves were sent spreading out as if it was
scraping a tornado on the horizon, trying to tear apart the heavens and earth along
with a humming noise.

The bronze palm was rapidly falling apart from the black Spiritual Energy. In the
end, it was reduced to nothing from the layers of Spiritual Energy impact.

Mu Chen’s expression was calm as he glanced at the spike forest. The trees in the
forest had already withered as if it was drained of Spiritual Energy.

He had executed the Divine Wood Scripture earlier. Obviously, the might of this
Divine Wood Scripture was more tyrannical compared to the one he used when he faced
Ji Xuan.

This wasn’t because Mu Chen’s strength had grown in just a few days, it was because
he was drawing power from ordinary trees before and, right now, he was drawing
power from those spike trees…

It was a rare species of Spiritual Trees that had absorbed Spiritual Energy between
this heaven and earth for a long time, allowing those spike trees to possess a
certain level of destructive power. If those spikes on the spike trees were used as
weapons, it was easy to penetrate through mountains and shatter stones by injecting
Spiritual Energy into them.

The Spiritual Energy that was contained in those spike trees was more powerful
compared to ordinary trees. Therefore, when Mu Chen displayed the Divine Wood
Scripture, he could draw out such powerful Spiritual Energy.

Mu Chen’s hand seals changed after destroying the bronze palm with these tidal
waves of black Spiritual Energy. A faint voice rang out in his heart, “Divine Wheel
of the Heavenly Wood!”

Buzzzzz!

Torrential waves of Spiritual Energy rapidly gathered as it turned into a colossal

black light wheel the size of a few hundred meters under the countless gazes.

An Ice-cold luster was flickering at the corner of the light wheel. The sharpness
of it looked as if it could shred the space apart.

Clearly, the power of this Divine Wheel of the Heavenly Wood was more powerful
compared to the time he used it on Ji Xuan!

Fang Yun also realized the terrifying might contained within the black wheel as his
face changed.

Whoooooooosh!

At the same time, Mu Chen pointed his finger down, causing the wheel to start
frantically spinning. In the next instant, it turned into a black light that could
not be perceived through the naked-eyes as it made its way towards Fang Yun.

Bang! Bang!

The blurred black light streaked across the horizon, causing faint tears in the
space that the black light had passed through.

“Divine Cauldron Art - Divine Cauldron Wall!”

At the sight of it, Fang Yun’s gaze turned a lot more heavy as he changed his hand
seals, pressing down with his hand on the space before him.

Boom!

Powerful Spiritual Energy swept out as it instantly expanded before Fang Yun. It
had turned into a cauldron light wall with the size of a few hundred meters. Bronze
color filled the light wall, making it look indestructible.

Boom!

When the cauldron light wall took shape, the black light wheel had already flown
over at lightning speed. In the instant, it clashed, ear-piercing metallic ringing
rang out in this horizon.

Creak! Creak!

The black wheel was spinning at a rapid speed, exhibiting the astonishing sharpness
of the Spiritual Energy. Cracks started to appear on the surface of the cauldron
wall and began to spread out.

The black wheel was even sharper than when Mu Chen had used it earlier. Even
experts like Fang Yun would have his scalp tingling from the sharpness of it.

Fang Yun’s face turned ugly from the rapid spreading of the cracks.

“Break!”
Mu Chen’s slender fingers pointed down once again along with a faint voice. The
rotation speed of the black wheel rapidly increased at a terrifying speed and with
an earth-shattering noise, the cauldron wall was penetrated.

Boom!

The cauldron wall shattered as it turned into fragments, raining down from the sky.

Despite penetrating through the cauldron wall, the power of the wheel wasn’t
lessened as it was still approaching its target, Fang Yun!

“Damn it!”

Fang Yun’s expression paled as he never expected Mu Chen’s attack to suddenly be so

powerful. He had not seen Mu Chen use such a powerful wheel when he faced Ji Xuan.
However, he was certain that this wheel was more powerful compared to the previous
one!

The discovery made Fang Yun extremely depressed. Mu Chen had gone easy when he
faced off with Ji Xuan? Otherwise, why would the same attack with the same strength
suddenly get so powerful?

Rustle!

As thoughts circulated in Fang Yun’s heart, his figure was already mysteriously
retreating as he attempted to dodge the wheel’s attack

However, he had clearly belittled the speed of the wheel. No matter how much he
tried to dodge, the black wheel was like a shadow following his body, not allowing
him to break away from it.

“Since you want to go at it, then pay the price for it.” Mu Chen’s gaze was cold as
he watched Fang Yun, who was trying to constantly dodge. His hand seals changed as
the speed of the wheel exploded, appearing before Fang Yun in a flash as it slashed
down. The sharpness of it even tore the space apart.

“Bastard!” Shock filled Fang Yun’s eyes as he gritted his teeth. Willing it in his
heart, the Dragon-Tiger Cauldron that was suppressing the Black Tortoise Seal
abruptly shot back to his direction.

Roar!

A dragon and tiger roar rang out as the Dragon-Tiger Cauldron dissolved into bronze
liquid, flickering with spiritual light, as it engulfed Fang Yun’s body.

Fang Yun turned into a bronze statue as the bronze liquid engulfed his entire body.

The black wheel ferociously slashed down as it hacked against Fang Yun’s body.

Boom!

Ear-piercing clashes rang out across the horizon as Fang Yun’s figure was sent
flying back, heavily slamming against a mountain peak. The peak was unable to bear
the impact as it exploded and Fang Yun’s body was deeply embedded into the body of
the mountain.

Hisssss!

Far away, those teams that were watching the battle involuntarily sucked a mouthful
of chilled air as disbelief filled their eyes. It was beyond their expectations
that Mu Chen was able to suppress Fang Yun with his current state.

Just how frightening is that fellow!

Mu Chen looked at Fang Yun, who was embedded in the mountain, before shifting his
gaze to his teammates. When they saw his glance, they tacitly understood as they
flew out, charging towards the direction of the spike tree forest.

The faces of Fang Yun’s teammates slightly changed as they attempted to obstruct
them.

Boom!

However, just when they were about to move, Mu Chen’s figure mysteriously appeared
before them. He had an indifferent expression, which made the four retreat in an
instant with fear and respect filling their eyes.

Not even their Captain could obstruct Mu Chen. Although they weren’t weak, they
weren’t so daring to attack Mu Chen.

When they hesitated, Shen Cangsheng and the other three had already entered the
forest and disappeared into the shadows with a few flickers.

Mu Chen felt relief in his heart at the sight of that. Shen Cangsheng and the other
three had the Array Plate that was made by him and thus, they were able to neglect
the effect of the Sealing Spiritual Array. Inside the forest, they still retained
their abilities to use their Spiritual Energy, whereas those that intrude in the
forest would have their Spiritual Energy taken away from them. As long as they made
it to the forest, all threats would disappear.

Boom!

Huge stones shattered in the mountain body as a sorry-looking figure soared into
the sky. Fang Yun was covered in dirt as he reappeared. At this current moment, his
face was ashen, but he still had bronze covering his body. However, there were fine
cracks in his chest area.

Mu Chen’s gaze involuntarily narrowed at the sight of it. The attack that he
previous unleashed could even gravely wound a Third Grade Spirit Disaster expert
and right now, aside from looking a little bad, Fang Yun did not suffer any
injuries.

“What a formidable Dragon-Tiger Cauldron.”

Mu Chen sighed inwardly as he knew that the reason why Fang Yun was able to appear
uninjured was due to the protection of the Dragon-Tiger Cauldron. A Divine Artifact
was indeed a Divine Spiritual Artifact. It was tough for even Third Grade Spiritual
Disaster experts to pose a huge threat to Fang Yun with the defensive capabilities
of that treasure.

“Mu Chen!”

Fang Yun’s face was still pale as the bronze liquid wiggled on his body, before
returning to the shape of the Dragon-Tiger Cauldron. He ferociously stared at Mu
Chen. Clearly, he never thought that a task he had deemed so easy to be so
problematic.

Mu Chen’s gaze was indifferent as he looked at Fang Yun. With a clench of his fist,
the Black Tortoise Seal returned to his sleeve as his body moved. In a few
flickers, his figure had mysteriously appeared outside the forest.

He arrived at the edge of the forest as he halted his steps. He turned his head as
he smiled indifferently at Fang Yun, whose face remained ashen, “If you still
haven’t had enough, then follow me. I will keep you company.”

Fang Yun tightly clenched his fist but he did not dare to follow as he knew that
this region was a little strange. The moment he went in, his Spiritual Energy would
disappear.

“Thanks for entertaining me. If there’s a chance, I will definitely return it

back.”

A sneer rose from Mu Chen’s lips as he waved his hand towards Fang Yun with his
back facing the latter and made his steps into the forest as shadows engulfed his
figure.

“Bastard!”

Fang Yun heavily gritted his teeth and could only give up in disheartened. Those
teams that were observing from far away were also sighing in regret.

Mu Chen was simply too powerful.

However, they were unaware that the instant Mu Chen stepped into the shadows, his
face had instantly turned pale and even his hand was trembling. The Spiritual
Energy in his body was violently surging at this instance.

Mu Chen’s black pupils seemed to be blazing with fire as he lightly pulled the
corner of his lips. He knew the reason for this abnormality…

His Spirit Disaster was coming.

Chapter 592 - Spirit Disaster
Within the dark forest, the ancient palace still remained as Shen Cangsheng, Li
Xuantong and the other two quietly sat down with their legs crossed. Their faces
were a little pale since the Spiritual Energy ripples around their bodies were
exceptionally weak at this moment.

Clearly, they exhausted too much of their Spiritual Energy.

Mu Chen stood outside the Hidden Spiritual Courtyard as he took a glance at the
tightly shut gate. The previous time he was here, the Courtyard Spirit had
appeared. However, it did not make its appearance this time as the entire Hidden
Spiritual Courtyard looked ordinary at this moment and entry was no longer
possible.

Mu Chen held his chest as a fiery blaze flared within his eyes. His entire body was
in a high temperature to the point that even his Spiritual Energy showed signs of
igniting.

This was a sign that the Spirit Disaster was coming.

“Mu Chen are you alright?” As a girl, Su Xuan was more attentive as she instantly
noticed that Mu Chen’s body was slightly trembling and thus, she went up to support
him. However, the instant she came in contact with Mu Chen’s skin, she was
instantly startled by the temperature.

“Nothing much, my Spirit Disaster is coming.”

Mu Chen waved his hand as he sat down at the gate of the Hidden Spiritual
Courtyard. He then shifted his glance towards Shen Cangsheng and the rest as he
said, “It is impossible to use Spiritual Energy in this forest. However, with the
Jade Plates that I have given to you guys, you will be able to neglect the effects
of this region.”

“Although we are safe for the moment, we will split ourselves into groups of two to
alternate our rest for insurance. To prevent any disturbances to us.”

Shen Cangsheng and the rest nodded in agreement to his words.

“Furthermore, here are four drops of Sovereign Spiritual Liquid. When you guys
recover your strength, try to refine them. Perhaps they will be beneficial.” Mu
Chen flicked with his fingers as four drops of crystal liquid flew towards the
direction of Shen Cangsheng and the other three.

The four of them hastily received them with a stretch of their hand. They stared at
the crystal liquid that was hovering on their palms as joy surged from the depths
of their eyes. Obviously, they had sensed the vast Spiritual Energy contained in
that Sovereign Spiritual Liquid.

They had already reached a bottleneck in their cultivation. If they could refine
this Sovereign Spiritual Liquid, they might be able to take another step forth.

Mu Chen looked at the four of them, who were filled with joy, as he lightly smiled
and became thoroughly relieved in his heart. Heavy exhaustion surged from his heart
as he slowly closed his eyes and his mind sank into his body.

He had to prepare for the Spirit Disaster.

When Mu Chen’s mind sank into his body and into the Aura Sea, he saw his Spirit
quietly seated in his Aura Sea with an enormous spiritual light loop that looked
like a planet ring. It was placed beneath his Spirit as it slowly circulated, the
scene was magnificent.

In this instance, his Spirit was different from how it was before. The high
temperature was spreading from this Spirit as it looked like it would burst into
flames at any moment, combusting his Spirit into nothingness.

This was a sign of Spirit Flames gathering.

The Spirit Flames were flames that were born from within the Spirit. These sorts of
flames were harmless to the physical body but were extremely fatal for Spirits. The
moment he wasn’t able to endure the fire, there was a high chance that his Spirit
would be burnt to dust.

In the path of cultivation, the Spirit gathered the three energies of the human
body. Thus, it was the most important part. If the Spirit was destroyed, not only
would the person’s cultivation path be ruined, his consciousness would also fade
away, leaving behind a body with no consciousness, which was similar to a puppet.

In the Three Sovereign Disasters, the Spirit Disaster was undoubtedly the most
dangerous trial amongst them all. The slightest error would cause the Spirit to be
destroyed and there was no way of saving it.

Thus, even Mu Chen did not dare to be careless in this tribulation.

Huuuuuuu.

He sucked in a mouthful of air in his heart as he willed his mind, sinking into his
Spirit bit-by-bit. In the instant when Mu Chen’s mind sank into his Spirit, the
scorching blaze that was wrapped around his Spirit made him involuntarily jolt.

The acute pain started to spread.

The tiny hands of Mu Chen’s Spirit slowly formed into cultivation seals as it
started to devour the Spiritual Energy between the heavens and earth. After the
Spiritual Energy passed through his meridians and was refined, it was injected into
his Aura Sea and, thereafter, was absorbed by the small mouth of his Spirit.

Ssssssssi tsssssssiii.

As more and more Spiritual Energy was devoured by his Spirit, the temperature
around his Spirit increased, causing the scorching pain to become even more
intense.

Tsssssssssiiiii!

As the scorching pain grew stronger, the surface of Mu Chen’s Spirit suddenly
turned sparkling. Thereafter, a tiny flame started to gather.

The tiny flame was sparkling and translucent, it was like a flame of glass.
However, the tiny flame was the cause for his Spirit to violently tremble.

His tiny face on the Spirit was twisted from the pain, his hand that was used to
form the cultivation seals was constantly trembling. An indescribable pain spread
from the Spirit, the pain was similar to his soul burning.

Tssssssssssiii siiiiii.

More sparkling flames appeared on the surface of his Spirit as time passed. In just
half an hour, Mu Chen’s Spirit was already engulfed by the flames.

His Spirit was engulfed by the sparkling flames in his Aura Sea. Although looking
from afar, those sparkling flames didn’t appear to be dangerous, but Mu Chen knew
that he was in an extremely dangerous position right now.

Compared to facing Ji Xuan and Fang Yun, the danger was way far higher. The
slightest mistake at this moment would cause him to pay the price that he would not
be able to bear.

However, despite the heart-piercing pain, Mu Chen still carried on with his teeth
clenched, since there wasn’t any other way for him. This was the tribulation that
every cultivator had to experience in order to ascend the realm of Sovereigns.

Only through these stages of pain, can he break open the cocoon and evolve into a
butterfly, taking the step to Sovereign Realm and become a genuine expert that
everyone would respect in the Great Thousand World!

As time passed, the figure of Mu Chen’s Spirit became blurred, bit-by-bit, as the
pain was devouring his consciousness. However, regardless of how the acute pain
impacted him, he still retains his last bit of consciousness. The tiny hands of the
Spirit still maintained the cultivation seals without wavering.

Right now, he had to endure it, no matter what.

One day had passed under his bitter endurance from the pain.

After one day of rest, Shen Cangsheng, Li Xuantong and the other two had recovered
their strength. Both their Spiritual Energy and mind were recovered to their peaks,
no longer having any weak sensations from before.

When the four of them recovered to their peak conditions, they understood that Mu
Chen was in his most crucial moments of breaking through to Spirit Disaster, from
the pain shown on his face.

Thus, they set aside their own cultivation for the time being as they enhanced
their senses, chased away those teams who were not giving up and snuck into the
forest.

Based on the Jade Plate that Mu Chen had given them, they could casually use their
Spiritual Energy in here. Whereas those teams that had entered this forest had
their Spiritual Energy suppressed. Faced with Sheng Cangsheng’s team of four, they
weren’t able to put up any resistance.

Two days passed under their protection.

Outside the Hidden Spiritual Courtyard, Mu Chen’s figure quietly sat like a
boulder, not moving a single jolt.

Shen Cangsheng and the other three were spread around him as they stood on those
towering trees. Their gazes were sharp with alertness as they constantly looked
around.

“Mu Chen has still not passed through his Spirit Disaster…” Other than being alert
about their surroundings, Shen Cangsheng said helplessly as he took the time to
take a glance at Mu Chen.

“Back then, when we were going through our Spirit Disaster, we only took four days.
However, judging from Mu Chen’s current state, his time might take longer compared
to us.” Li Xuantong lightly nodded his head. Under ordinary circumstances, the
Spirit Disaster took the shortest time amongst the Three Sovereign Disasters.
However, the danger in it was the highest in comparison.

“This fellow is getting more and more powerful now.” Shen Cangsheng bitterly
smiled. Ever since they entered the Great Spiritual Academy Tournament, their
strengths had also soared. Right now, he and Li Xuantong already had the capability
to give Second Grade Spirit Disaster a go. Even amongst the Great Spiritual Academy
Tournament, their strengths were considered top. However, when comparing themselves
to Mu Chen, they seemed a little lacking.

Li Xuantong softly sighed as his gaze became a little complicated. He never

imagined that the Freshmen that once received three of his moves would surpass him
at a speed that he could not catch up to in just two years.

“Luo Li’s eyesight is truly great.” Li Xuantong bitterly commented. Back then, he
rejected Luo Li’s choice because Mu Chen didn't possess the qualification to match
her. But the truth made him understand that the ordinary youth whom he had
considered back then had stepped out of the ordinary, sharpened on the grindstone
as he displayed his brilliant character.

Seeing the bitter smile on Li Xuantong’s charming face, Shen Cangsheng patted the
former’s shoulders to comfort him.

Whoooooosh.
Li Xuantong replied with a shake of his head and just when he was about to speak,
his gaze suddenly changed and he shifted his sight forward. There were sounds of
whistling wind coming from that direction. Furthermore, what made him even more
startled was that there were Spiritual Energy ripples from that whistling wind
sound.

There was someone actually capable of using Spiritual Energy in this forest?

Li Xuantong and Shen Cangsheng exchanged a glance as their gazes turned heavy.
Thereafter, they made a hand sign, calling Su Xuan and Xu Huang over. Together, the
four of them fixed their gazes towards the dark tree shadows.

The whistling wind became even more rushed and two figures appeared from the
shadows, flashing at the speed of lightning.

When the two figures appeared, Shen Cangsheng’s group of four felt a heavy relief
as unconcealable joy appeared on their faces.

The two figures were Luo Li and Wen Qingxuan.

They knew that the moment those two appeared, they would be absolutely safe. In the
Great Spiritual Academy Tournament, not even Ji Xuan could bring harm to Mu Chen
under the protection of those two.
Chapter 593 - Queen Luo shows her Migh
t

When Shen Cangsheng, Li Xuantong and the rest saw the two girls, unconcealable joy
surged on their faces. They had been on the edge guarding Mu Chen for the past few
days, fearing that someone would come and disturb Mu Chen’s cultivation.

The moment Luo Li came, her crystal-clear pupils were looking at Mu Chen, who was
in his cultivating state. Her worrying expression that she had on her face
gradually loosened.

“He’s undergoing the Spirit Disaster?” Wen Qingxuan, however, looked at Mu Chen in
astonishment as she felt the bizarre ripples.

Shen Cangsheng and the rest nodded their heads.

“Are you guys alright?” Luo Li enquired.

Shen Cangsheng and the rest nodded their heads as they bitterly smiled, “It’s
thanks to Mu Chen for finding this place. Otherwise, it would be hard for us to
retreat. That Fang Yun isn’t an easy opponent, the Divine Artifact in his
possession was extremely strong. Mu Chen had paid a certain price and thus, we were
able to retreat here. Precisely so, his Spirit Disaster is more dangerous.”

Generally speaking, those undergoing their Spirit Disaster all had their conditions
restored to their peak. However, Mu Chen had undergone a battle with Fang Yun and
thus, he had to undergo his Spirit Disaster when his condition wasn’t at his best.

“Fang Yun.” A smear of chill appeared in Luo Li’s pupils. Clearly, she was enraged.

“It was probably Ji Xuan’s instructions for Fang Yun to attack Mu Chen. The scheme
of that fellow runs too deep. He used all sorts of methods to obstruct us to give
Fang Yun time to deal with Mu Chen.” Wen Qingxuan spoke as well with a cold
expression.
Shen Cangsheng and the rest nodded at their words, before taking a glance at Mu
Chen and continued, “We have no idea how long Mu Chen will take. It seems like Ji
Xuan will once again pull apart the difference in points that we did so much to
pull closer in this period of time.”

Right now, their points were Rank 3 with roughly 110,000 points. Ji Xuan still
remained Numero Uno with nearly 140,000 points. If Mu Chen was going to take a few
days, the gap between them would only grow bigger to the point that it could no
longer be recovered.

Luo Li fell into her own thoughts. Right now, the battle between Mu Chen and Ji
Xuan had the attention of everyone and she did not want others to look down on Mu
Chen.

“Qingxuan, I would like you to stay here for a few days until Mu Chen passes
through his Spirit Disaster.” Luo Li softly said as she looked at Wen Qingxuan
after a brief moment of pondering.

“What about you?” Wen Qingxuan was startled as she asked.

“I will leave with them for the time being. At the very least, I would like to
maintain the gap.” Luo Li lightly smiled as she continued, “But, naturally, I will
give you half of the points I obtain to make up for your loss.”

“Only guys like them would fight head-over-heels for the rank.” Wen Qingxuan cast
her lips aside as she continued, “Rest assured. No matter what, Mu Chen has helped
me before in the past. Thus, I will naturally help him as well.”

“Thank you for that.” Luo Li responded with a faint smile.

When Shen Cangsheng heard that Luo Li was intending to bring them out, they were a
little dumbfounded. Although they knew that Luo Li wasn’t as simple as she looked,
they still thought of her as a girl in their hearts. And, at this timing, they felt
a little ashamed that a girl like Luo Li had to hold up the barrier amongst them.

“Rest assured, the team leading under Luo Li won’t be any weaker than Mu Chen.” Li
Xuantong, however, smiled. Although Luo Li had never displayed her true strength
from the start, he knew that this girl before him wasn’t any weaker than Mu Chen.

“Alright then, we’ll give Mu Chen a surprise when he wakes up.” Su Xuan smiled as
she covered her mouth.

Shen Cangsheng could only nod his head with a bitter smile.

Wen Qingxuan approached Luo Li as she softly said, “From the looks of it, your
target isn’t a small one.”

Luo Li pulled her hair behind her ears with her slender fingers. Her action was
extremely charming to the point that Wen Qingxuan’s heart was a little stirred.
Shortly after, a faint smile surfaced on her face as she said, “I want to snatch Ji
Xuan’s Numero Uno position back. Thus, my target is Fang Yun.”

Wen Qingxuan was startled by her words. She knew that her target wasn’t small, but
she never imagined that she would be so daring to actually plan to snatch Ji Xuan’s
ranking. Moreover, Fang Yun wasn’t someone easy to deal with either, as he
possessed the Low Rank Divine Artifact.

“Rest assured.”
Luo Li knew about Wen Qingxuan’s worries as she smiled.

“Then, you be cautious.” Wen Qingxuan could only nod her head at Luo Li’s words.

After their discussion, Luo Li stayed there for another half a day before leaving
together with Shen Cangsheng, Li Xuantong and the other two without wasting more
time.

Wen Qingxuan smiled as she looked at the leaving Luo Li. Looks like there will be
no more peace in the Great Spiritual Academy Tournament. Perhaps it is time for
everyone to know the strength of this girl that has always been standing behind Mu
Chen.

Wen Qingxuan idly stretched her slender arms as she walked to Mu Chen’s side with
her hand on her cheek as she slightly curled her lips and spoke in an envious tone,
“This fella has it cheap for Luo Li to do so much for you.”

Three days quickly passed.

During these three days, Mu Chen still had not woken up. However, the surface of
his body was turning more and more red as a high temperature was emitting from
inside his body, even the space was slightly distorted from it. Under the intense
pain, his face was a little hideous.

Clearly, his Spirit Disaster was still ongoing.

Under this situation, Wen Qingxuan, who was guarding him, was also helpless as the
Spirit Disaster required one to go through it by themselves with their own ability.
There was no room for others to help them.

However, Wen Qingxuan was slightly relieved. Despite Mu Chen’s face slightly
twisted, there weren’t any signs of the Spiritual Energy in his body going berserk.
Clearly, he did not allow his mind to be devoured and retained a hint of conscious.

Under this situation, as long as Mu Chen could endure it, it was just a matter of
time for him to pass through the Spirit Disaster.

In the three days that Mu Chen was undergoing his Spirit Disaster, the Great
Spiritual Academy Tournament shook, which was caused by Luo Li.

Luo Li wasn’t like Mu Chen when she led the team. She did not sweep those after
Rank 8 like Mu Chen had done. She had directly fixed her aim onto Rank 6, Fang Yun.

Her actions were undoubtedly audacious. After all, everyone was clear on the fact
that those within the Top 8 were the most powerful teams in the Great Spiritual
Academy Tournament. Among those teams, there were several powerful experts,
especially when it came to someone like Fang Yun, who possessed a genuine Divine
Artifact.

Thus, when the news of Luo Li and Fang Yun’s confrontation spread out, a shaking
uproar was instantly unleashed in the Great Spiritual Academy Tournament. Even when
compared to Mu Chen and Ji Xuan’s battle, the level of their confrontation wasn’t
any weaker in comparison.

The earth-shattering battle still took place in the end.

That battle was extremely intense as everyone could see a titanic cauldron rise up
in the air, emitting divine light as the roars of a dragon and tiger resounded in
the sky. Even the Spiritual Energy in the heavens and earth seemed to be boiling.

However, despite the cauldron being so powerful, everyone watched as the titanic
cauldron was being suppressed the moment a crisp and resonant sword cry rang out…

Everyone that watched the battle could clearly witness that scene.

A grandiose sword intent gathered in the sky as it turned into an earth-shattering

sea of swords. The sea of swords was like a storm as it whistled its way past.
Anything standing before it was torn to shreds by the rampant storm of Sword
Aura... even the Low Rank Divine Artifact, whom Mu Chen failed to break through
despite using all his strength, the Dragon-Tiger Cauldron rapidly lost its luster
in the sea of swords. Thereafter, a colossal sword light took form as it heavily
slashed down from the sky.

The sea of swords dissipated as it turned into a longsword, whistling across the
horizon as it returned to Luo Li’s hands. The Spiritual Energy Sword Intent that
even the heavens and earth could not withstand had also dissipated.

Puuuuf! pooofff.

Everyone saw the scene of Fang Yun spewing a mouthful of blood as his face paled.
Clearly, he was gravely injured.

It was a closure to the heart-shaking battle.

Fang Yun handed over his Academy Plaque with unwillingness in the end. A total of
40,000 points was bluntly seized by Luo Li, allowing an increase in points for the
Academy Plaque of Mu Chen’s team from 110,000 to 150,000 points, surpassing Ji
Xuan, who only had 140,000 points, in one go.

Henceforth, the owner of the Numero Uno position changed.

The entire Great Spiritual Academy Tournament was shaken. After such a long time,
the rank of Numero Uno finally welcomed its third owner…

It was precisely this battle that allowed Luo Li’s name to resonate throughout the
tournament. Her reputation even showed signs of surpassing Ji Xuan and Mu Chen.
After all, in comparison to them, Luo Li had an advantage in terms of her looks and
temperament.

But, naturally, the crucial point was her battle with Fang Yun. All in all, she was
the only one that dared to attack a team that was within the Top 8 throughout this
entire tournament.

After experiencing that battle, Fang Yun’s team dropped out of the Top 8. However,
with his ability, he had once again entered the Top 8 in just one day. However, he
was clearly much more low-profile this time as he did not show any signs of
jumping.

It was evident that his drive was thoroughly suppressed by Luo Li.

After the Numero Uno ranking had changed, everyone was curious as they waited for
Ji Xuan’s reaction. With the latter’s character, he was definitely not someone that
would give up the ranking of Numero Uno so easily.

Just when everyone was in anticipation of Ji Xuan moving, Mu Chen had finally
slowly opened his eyes to the depths of the spike tree forest. His black pupils
blazed as if there were crystal-clear flames surging within.

He had finally passed through his Spirit Disaster!

Chapter 594 - Disaster Success
The instant Mu Chen opened his eyes, crystal-clear flames seemed to be blazing
within his pitch-black pupils, giving a pure and clear look from his pupils.

Haaaaaaa.

A lump of breath faintly containing a high temperature was slowly exiting Mu Chen’s
mouth. The high temperature even made the space around him show small signs of
distortion as if a charred smell was released as well.

“I’ve finally succeeded!” The flames in Mu Chen’s pupils quickly retreated as he

returned to normal. His tightly tautened body loosened up as if he was relieved of
a burden as he felt the intense burning pain from his Spirit also dissipating.

He had already succeeded his Spirit Disaster.

“Congratulations.”

An idle voice rang out from his rear. Turning his head back, Mu Chen saw a charming
face with a jade-like hand supporting it on the stone stairs staring at him with a
full smile.

Mu Chen was slightly startled when he saw Wen Qingxuan. However, he quickly
recovered from his shock as he understood the reason why she was there. “Thanks.”

When he was submerged in his cultivation, Wen Qingxuan must have been by his side,
guarding him.

Wen Qingxuan waved her jade-like hands as her phoenix-like eyes glanced at Mu Chen,
“How’s the feeling of Spirit Disaster?”

Mu Chen slowly clenched his fist as he smiled, “Very powerful.”

He could feel the powerful surges of Spiritual Energy in his body. Compared to
before he underwent the Spirit Disaster, it was definitely much more powerful.
Earlier, when he was sweeping those powerful teams, it would have been so much
easier if he had the cultivation of Spirit Disaster. After all, no matter how
powerful his fighting power was, there was a limit to how powerful his Spiritual
Energy could get. If he compared Spiritual Energy from when he was at Spiritual
Energy Disaster, it was naturally way inferior to opponents like Ji Xuan and Fang
Yun, who were powerful Spirit Disaster experts.

“My Spirit has grown stronger as well…”

Mu Chen willed in his mind, spiritual light surged around his head as a similar-
looking Spirit appeared above his head. The current state of his Spirit had clearly
undergone a huge transformation. Its small body became even more sparkling and
translucent as if it was made from glass. The hands of his Spirit made a seal with
a solemn expression, having a sacred appearance.

Mu Chen’s Spirit opened his eyes as he waved his small arm. In an instant, the
Spiritual Energy that existed between this heaven and earth rapidly gathered. The
Spirit was extremely sensitive towards Spiritual Energy. Thus, the stronger the
Spirit, the stronger control, and senses one would have towards Spiritual Energy.
Cultivating to this point, the Spirit was nearly an essence as it was no longer
illusory in appearance and the cultivation of their Spirit could be considered as a
small success. Even if their physical body was destroyed, as long as their Spirit
managed to escape, they would have a chance of reforming their physical body and be
reborn.

Naturally, the Spirit Disaster was the most important turning point in the path of
cultivation, as it was a bedding a foundation for the Sovereign Realm. As long as
the Spirit was sufficiently powerful, only then can one become a true Sovereign.

There were three grades of the Spirit Disaster, which implied the existence of
three tribulations. However, they were all preparations for the Sovereign Realm.

Mu Chen’s Spirit was flickering in the spiritual light as it returned to his body.
He stretched his body. Hearing the crackling sound from his body, he involuntarily
comfortably breathed out.

The sensation of going through levels upon levels of tribulations and becoming
stronger was too bizarre.

Mu Chen stood up as he looked around. After a brief moment, he asked in doubt,

“Where’s Luo Li? Isn’t she together with you?”

“Congratulations, the team lead by you is the Numero Uno in the point rankings.”
Wen Qingxuan flicked her fingers as an Academy Plaque flew towards Mu Chen.

Mu Chen received it in a little astonishment as he swept his glance over. He was

stunned when he saw the Numero Uno on the point rankings.

Rank 1 - Northern Heavens Spiritual Academy, Captain Mu Chen. [150,000 points]

Rank 2 - Saint Spiritual Academy, Captain Ji Xuan. [140,000 points]

“This is Luo Li’s doing?” Mu Chen was stupefied.

“Yeah.”

Wen Qingxuan made a lovely chuckle as her hand supported her chin, her charming
gaze locked on Mu Chen. “She defeated Fang Yun and seized half of his points. Thus,
she successfully surpassed Ji Xuan and replaced the Numero Uno. Right now, Luo Li
is the most dazzling person in the Great Spiritual Academy Tournament. Probably
even you and Ji Xuan are incomparable to her in this factor.”

As she spoke, she continued speaking with a teasing tone, “How is it? Luo Li
achieved something that you never managed to accomplish. Are you feeling affected
by it?”

Mu Chen looked at the Academy Plaque for a brief moment, before smiling. “At the
very least, I’m not affected by it. With her talents, it was natural for her to be
dazzling. I have never requested for her to restrain herself.”

“Perhaps she was well-aware of how dazzling she was. Thus, ever since she entered
the Northern Heavens Spiritual Academy, she has been trying her best to restrain
herself and quietly stood beside me. However, I hope that she can reveal herself as
she pleases at times.”

Wen Qingxuan looked at Mu Chen, whose gaze was exceptionally gentle at the moment.
She felt the deep affection Mu Chen had for Luo Li and on the spot, she went silent
for a brief moment, before saying, “She restrained herself out of concern for your
feelings. She did not want to bring any unnecessary troubles for you.”

Mu Chen lightly nodded his head. He raised his head as he looked at the glimpse of
the light ray shooting from the tiny crack in the forest, and extended his hand as
it passed through the light. A heavy voice, along with unswerving determination and
self-confidence, rang out.

“I know how dazzling is she. Perhaps in the future, there might be an even more
powerful figure standing between us. But no matter what, I will never give up. I
have promised her that one day, I will become an absolute expert. At that time, no
one will be able to obstruct me from holding her hands!”

The heavy and faint voice spread out in this forest, making Wen Qingxuan stunned.
She lifted her head up and looked at the slender figure. The handsome youth had
sunlight shining on his body, covering him in a layer of light. There wasn’t any
fear or hesitation in his eyes. He was like a warrior that would blaze a new trail,
pacing forth and would neither regret nor hesitate.

“Absolute expert…”

Wen Qingxuan’s slender fingers were fiddling with her hair as she muttered to
herself. Her gaze was a little complicated. There were too many talented people in
this world, but how many of those were able to become an absolute expert,
intimidating the entire Great Thousand World?

However, the unswerving gaze from the youth before her slightly shook her heart as
she became a little stunned. After that, she felt Mu Chen’s gaze looking over at
her direction and stopped at her face.

Wen Qingxuan sobered up as a rarely seen smear of redness surfaced from her
charming face. She immediately avoided Mu Chen’s gaze as she cast her lips aside.
“Talk about becoming an absolute expert after you defeat Ji Xuan, that fellow isn’t
that simple.”

Mu Chen smiled as he nodded, “Indeed, he isn’t simple. However, it isn’t a simple

matter for him to defeat me as well.”

“Self-confidence, I like it.” Wen Qingxuan gracefully stood up as she chuckled,

patting her hand on Mu Chen’s shoulders.

“You like guys as well?” Mu Chen said in amazement. However, the instant he spoke
those words, he had a bad feeling.

Just as expected, Wen Qingxuan that stood before him had her brows narrowed as she
grabbed Mu Chen collar and stuck her ice-frost expression over as she gritted her
teeth, “What did you say?!”

Mu Chen dryly laughed as he drifted his sight away.

“Your mother, I only dislike being close to guys. If I meet a guy I like, I will
naturally follow him obediently. It’s not as if I have a problem!”

Looking at the blushing Wen Qingxuan, Mu Chen awkwardly rubbed his nose. He had
stepped onto Wen Qingxuan’s Achilles heel. Otherwise, how would someone like her to
use ‘your mother, I’ as a form of addressing herself?

“Okay, fine, I’m in the wrong.”

Mu Chen raised up his hand. He gave Wen Qingxuan a glance and was a little curious
about her earlier words. He was very curious, how charming would such a prideful
girl like Wen Qingxuan be if she was quiet and sweet when she fell for a guy?

“Hmph.”

Wen Qingxuan coldly snorted as she calmed down. However, when she realized that she
was pulling onto Mu Chen’s collar and nearly stuck up to him, she hastily released
her grip and pushed him away. However, the redness on her face was much denser and
her heartbeat increased. She could only curse at this damnable fellow that broke
her calmness.

“Let’s go as well.”

Mu Chen no longer dared to provoke Wen Qingxuan as he suggested with a dry laugh.

Wen Qingxuan snorted again as she no longer bothered about Mu Chen and flew out
first.

Mu Chen wryly smiled as he moved as well, appearing in the sky over the forest.
Thereafter, he formed seals with his hands and a colossal ring of light spread out
from his palm and rapidly expanded.

Whooooosh! Whooosh!

As the green ring of light expanded, the spike trees in the forest beneath him
turned into black rays of light as they flew up into the light halo in his hand.

A few minutes later, more than half of this forest was emptied.

Seeing the scene, Mu Chen finally stopped as the dark-green halo disappeared. He
breathed out a long breath as he shifted his gaze towards the northwest direction,
a chill circulated in his black pupils.

He had a premonition that it will soon be the finals.

Let us fight for real this time, Ji Xuan!

Chapter 595 - Igniting the Academy Plaque
The lush green mountains stood towering on the ground as the mountain range
extended to the end of one’s sight.

In this region, the voices were a little noisy as all sorts of commotions gathered
and soared into the sky. There were many teams gathered in this region to rest.

Although there wasn’t any designated safe region in the Great Spiritual Academy
Tournament, there was naturally rules and regulations set up in places with people.
Taking this resting region, for example, a majority of those that came here would
lay down their weapons to rest, putting a pause to their battle to prevent enraging
everyone.

Every corner in this mountain peak was gathered with people talking among
themselves. Even the atmosphere in this area was harmonious.

At this instant, those teams who were chatting amongst themselves earlier directed
their gazes towards a mountain peak not far away. On that peak, there was roughly a
group of ten.

Amongst that group, there was a slim and elegant figure that attracted most of
their eyeballs. It was a girl dressed in a navy blue dress, she possessed a nearly
perfectly charming face. Her silvery hair was gorgeous as it looked like a silver
river, there wasn’t any dust in her crystal-clear pupils that looked fascinating.

The girl quietly sat down, even her expression was calm and tranquil, not affected
in the slightest from the gazes that were directed at her from all different
directions. She gave off an air of beauty and elegance.

Within the gazes that were directed at her, every one of them had a smear of
charmed emotions in the depths of their eyes. No one wouldn’t be charmed by such an
outstanding girl.

However, despite being intoxicated by her temperament and beauty, it was unexpected
that no one dared to approach her. They were all well aware that this girl before
them was the Numero Uno of the point rankings. She was a frightening existence that
had defeated Fang Yun and surpassed Ji Xuan in the lead.

Luo Li.

Such a fragile and charming name was already the most dazzling star in the Great
Spiritual Academy Tournament in just a few days.

Some of the teams here had encountered the team led by the girl before them during
these few days. However, the outcome was evident, the points that they managed to
obtain through their hard work became the spoils of war for her.

Out of the ordinary, despite the fact that they lost their points, they weren’t too
furious about it in their hearts. On the contrary, a breathtaking figure was left
behind in their hearts.

They were a little ashamed by the thought of it and could only constantly remind
themselves of femme fatale. A beauty that could devastate a country… they were well
aware of the wide gap between them and that girl. Her beauty and ability was proof
of her brilliance in the future…

Just as they were in the center of all that attention, Luo Li still kept her eyes
closed on the mountain peak as a breath of wind lifted her long hair, dancing along
with the wind, emitting a faint fragrance.

“Luo Li, Ji Xuan’s team pulled closer to us by another 2,000 points.” Shen
Cangsheng suddenly said behind Luo Li as he looked at the Academy Plaque.

“That fella has been tightly chasing after us.” Li Xuantong furrowed his brows
together. Ever since they surpassed Ji Xuan, the latter had been clearly moving in
the dark as he worked hard to seize points in an attempt to surpass their rankings.

This was precisely why they were so busy these few days. Under Luo Li’s leadership,
they went around seizing points. However, it was fortunate that after defeating
Fang Yun, Luo Li no longer went after those powerful teams and chose to go after
those teams that wouldn’t exhaust too much of their strength. Although this method
was slow in terms of obtaining points, it was clearly a safe method. There wouldn’t
be another situation similar to Mu Chen, who had swept all the powerful teams
beneath Rank 8 and experienced a huge exhaustion of his strength.

In this series of continuous battles, Shen Cangsheng and Li Xuantong’s strengths

grew. Using the one drop of Sovereign Spiritual Liquid that was given by Mu Chen,
they managed to break through to Second Grade Spirit Disaster. As for Su Xuan and
Xu Huang, the both of them were able to successfully break through their Spirit
Disaster. Thus, their strength as a team grew to the pinnacle.
Right now, regardless of their Captain or members, all possessed strength
comparable to those powerful pinnacle teams. The issue of having unequal strength
in the team was gone.

Luo Li opened her eyes at this instant as she took a glance at the Academy Plaque.
They still occupied the Numero Uno throne with points of 160,000. Ji Xuan stood at
second with 153,000 points.

The difference between their points was extremely close.

“Then, let’s keep moving.” Luo Li stood up, her dress was perfectly outlining her
slim waist. Her skin was similar to a jade as it reflected a lustrous light off
when the sunlight shone onto her. It was hard for others to shift their gazes off
her.

Hearing her words, Shen Cangsheng, Li Xuantong and the other two immediately stood
up. After a brief moment of rest, the Spiritual Energy in their bodies had
recovered.

In the past few days, they had personally witnessed Luo Li’s strength and
thoroughly understood how deep this girl that stood before them had hidden her
strength.

The group stood up as they were prepared to move.

Whooooooosh.

However, just when they were about to move, a screeching sound of wind came from
the sky far away. Thereafter, two figures rapidly flew over at lightning speed.

Luo Li paused her step that she was about to take as she looked at the two figures
flying over in the horizon. The whole time, her eyes were tranquil, without any
ripples, but at this moment, there was joy surging in her eyes.

Everyone in this region saw the abruptly spirited, charming eyes of the girl as
they couldn’t control their eyes from lighting up. Shortly after, they shifted
their gazes over to that direction with two figures approaching. Who was it that
could make such a tranquil girl reveal joy from the depths of her heart?

Rustle.

Under the numerous gazes, two streaks of light rapidly appeared in the sky. When
the lights dissipated, a male and female figure was revealed with a flash.

Mu Chen stood in the sky. His figure was slender with a handsome face. At this
moment, he was smiling as he looked at the girl below him with a gentle gaze.

Beside him stood Wen Qingxuan. Her golden battle armor wrapped around her chest and
her fine waist. Underneath her skirt, it was a patch of snow-white skin. Her
appearance wasn’t any inferior compared to Luo Li, her prideful temperament was
being emitted from deep within her bones. Regardless of when it was, that
temperament of hers never weakened.

“It’s Mu Chen!”

Mu Chen’s appearance wasn’t unfamiliar to the majority of the teams in the Great
Spiritual Academy Tournament. The moment those teams saw him, they exclaimed out
with undisguisable jealousy in their tones. That jealousy was naturally directed at
the smile revealed on Luo Li’s face after Mu Chen had appeared.

That bewitching smile.

Mu Chen fell from the sky as he landed beside Luo Li. He looked at the smile hung
on the face of the girl as his gaze became even more gentle. He extended his hand
out and swept the hair on the girl’s forehead as he said in a gentle tone, “You’ve
worked hard.”

“I am also a member of the team, it’s my obligation.” Luo Li said with a slight
smile.

“But, since the Captain has returned, then you can have the spot of the Captain
back.”

Luo Li handed over the Academy Plaque to Mu Chen as she gave a rare charming blink
to him. The scene made the hearts of all those that had their attention directed
over to stop. In the past few days when they had encountered Luo Li, she did not
have any expression on her face, even when she was facing off against an expert
like Fang Yun. But, right now, she was looking so cute before a man which made them
grieve and lament.

Mu Chen smiled when he heard her words as he extended his hand to grab onto the
Academy Plaque. At the same time, he had grabbed onto Luo Li’s hand as well.

Having her hand grabbed by Mu Chen, a faint blush appeared on Luo Li’s face. She
lightly struggled but it was ineffective. Thus, she could only stare at Mu Chen
with a little anger.

Mu Chen looked around and noticed that there were many gazes that were staring at
him. He was a little confused by the gazes. He wasn’t aware that he had attracted
so much jealousy from his actions.

“Let’s go, you have worked hard for this rank. I won’t let anyone else seize it.”
Mu Chen said as he looked at Luo Li.

Luo Li lightly smile as she nodded her head.

Buzzzzzz.

However, just when Mu Chen finished his speech, a buzzing noise came from the
Academy Plaque in his hand as a brilliant light was unleashed from it. At the same
time, all the Academy Plaques held by the Captains in this region also emitted a
brilliant light.

Everyone was a little stunned as they lifted their Academy Plaques. However, when
they looked at it, their faces drastically changed.

Ji Xuan who was Rank 2 in the point rankings soared at an astonishing speed. In an
instant, they had surpassed Mu Chen with points soaring to a terrifying 200,000
from 150,000 points!

Their points increased by over 50,000!

“How is that possible?!” Someone exclaimed. They couldn’t understand the reason
behind the sudden spike in Ji Xuan’s points because there wasn’t any from the Top 8
falling out of the point rankings. If there wasn’t any team dropping out, that
implied that Ji Xuan did not defeat a team in the Top 8. But how did he get so many
points?
An earth-shaking commotion covered the horizon as countless startled gazes were
directed at Mu Chen.

The smile hung on Mu Chen’s face slowly disappeared as he narrowed his eyes. But
before he spoke, his pupils shrunk again.

He saw Ji Xuan’s name suddenly ignite.

Even Luo Li and Wen Qingxuan’s faces drastically changed as well.

Because they knew the reason for his name to be burning, that meant that Ji Xuan
and his team had ignited their Academy Plaque…

Ji Xuan was intending to start the final battle!

Chapter 596 - Beginning of the Final Battle
Ji Xuan had ignited his Academy Plaque!

An uproar exploded in this region, every team’s Captains were blankly staring at
the Academy Plaques in their hands. Their eyes were fixed on the flaming Numero Uno
ranking as there were all kinds of expressions written on their faces.

According to the rules, as long as half of the Top 16 ignited their Academy
Plaques, the Finals would begin in the Great Spiritual Academy Tournament. At that
time, those in the Top 8 would proceed to the next round.

But, generally speaking, only those teams that were confident in their points would
ignite their Academy Plaques. The moment they ignited their Academy Plaques without
the coordination of the other teams, their points would be fixed. That way, they
might be easily surpassed by the other teams. If they were careless, they might
even drop out of the Top 8.

Thus, unless they were confident, they would not ignite their Academy Plaques so
easily. Now that Ji Xuan had taken the initiative, was he certain that his spot as
Numero Uno was unshakable?

Many teams were looking amongst themselves. Although they were unaware of how Ji
Xuan had a sudden surge of 50,000 points, that wasn’t sufficient as a guarantee,
right?

“What is Ji Xuan doing?” The faces of Shen Cangsheng and the rest had heavy
expressions as they voiced their questions when they saw the scene.

Mu Chen narrowed his eyes as he slowly said, “I’m afraid that there will be more
follow up…”

When Luo Li and Wen Qingxuan heard his words, they narrowed their gorgeous eyes as
well. They were staring at the Academy Plaques. Roughly ten minutes later, the Rank
6 Xue Tianhe, Liu Qingyun and Fang Yun’s teams turned red as if they were burning
on the plaques as well.

This region shook again.

Even Xue Tianhe, Liu Qingyun, and Fang Yun had ignited their Academy Plaques!

“Now that there are four Academy Plaques that have ignited, as long as there are
four more amongst the Top 16, the Finals will begin!”

“That’s some patience from Ji Xuan, he was probably waiting for this moment!”
Hearing the commotion that sounded throughout this wilderness, the faces of Shen
Cangsheng and the rest turned ugly. It wasn’t easy for them to climb up to Numero
Uno and then, all of a sudden, the Numero Uno was taken away from them.

Furthermore, they were a little sullen as they had no idea about how Ji Xuan
suddenly got the 50,000 points. There wasn’t much change in the Top 16 so,
evidently, the 50,000 points did not come from anyone amongst the Top 16.

The faces of Luo Li and Wen Qingxuan grew cold as Mu Chen slowly rubbed his Academy
Plaque. No one knew what he was thinking from the unknown light flickering in his
black pupils.

“Another two Academy Plaques ignited!” Another exclamation resounded. Amongst the
Top 16, another two Academy Plaques lit up as well. Those two Academy Plaques
belonged to Rank 16 and Rank 14. Generally speaking, those teams would not ignite
their plaques so easily as it would deny their entry to the Finals. But, at this
moment, such a scene was displayed before them.

Anyone with discerning eyes could tell what was going on. This was definitely the
work of Ji Xuan. Otherwise, there wouldn’t be so many teams igniting their Academy
Plaques at the same time. Everyone could tell that Mu Chen was tricked by Ji Xuan
at such a crucial time.

As long as there were two more Academy Plaques lighting up, the Finals would start.

Furthermore, the only way for Mu Chen and his team to obtain another 50,000 points
was to defeat a team in the Top 8. However, amongst the Top 8, Ji Xuan, Xue Tianhe,
Liu Qingyun and Fang Yun could no longer increase their points or have their points
taken. Thus, his remaining targets could only be Wen Qingxuan, Wu Ling, and Wen
Busheng. However, those three teams had a good relationship with Mu Chen. If Mu
Chen placed his target on one of those three teams, his fame would be in a complete
mess.

This move from Ji Xuan truly was vicious.

“That bastard!” Shen Cangsheng clenched his teeth as his voice became filled with
anger. Clearly, they had uncovered Ji Xuan’s vicious plans. He was trying to force
Mu Chen into a corner.

“What should we do now?” Li Xuantong’s face was dark as he spoke and shifted his
sight to Mu Chen and Luo Li at the same time.

Luo Li was slightly clenching her fists, but she did not speak. She looked at Mu
Chen with a hint of worry in her eyes.

However, Mu Chen looked as if he had not heard their words, because he was still
staring at his Academy Plaque.

Wen Qingxuan lifted a strand of hair to her ears as she quietly looked at Mu Chen.
Thereafter, she extended her hand with an Academy Plaque flickering with light in
her palm.

“Take the points from our team. Even if we lose half of them, we will still be able
to stay within the Top 8. Furthermore, these points don’t mean much to us as the
genuine Champion will be born in the Finals.”

Shen Cangsheng and the rest blankly stared at Wen Qingxuan as they never expected
the latter to willingly give half of her points.

“This…” They exchanged looks as the present was simply too expensive, which they
did not dare to receive.

Luo Li bit on her rosy lips as well as she looked at Mu Chen. The latter was also
in shock as he raised his head, looking at Wen Qingxuan.

“Hey, being indecisive at this time isn’t good, right?” Wen Qingxuan had her brows
furrowed as she looked at Mu Chen, “Perhaps you might feel that these points aren’t
too honorable. But isn’t it your capability as well for me to willingly give you
half of my points?”

“Thus, if you are going to reject me for your so-called ‘pride’, I will feel that
you are not mature. And I do not like having such friends.”

Hearing her words, Mu Chen rubbed his nose as he bitterly laughed as a trace of
being touched was shown in his eyes.

Those around him did not speak as they looked at Mu Chen, waiting for his decision.
As long as he nodded his head, he would be able to surpass Ji Xuan once again,
giving a slap to Ji Xuan’s face as he reclaimed the Numero Uno.

However, a smear of a smile rose from the youth’s handsome face under all the gazes
as he lightly shook his head.

“You!” Wen Qingxuan was enraged as she couldn’t help stomping her feet on the
ground as she furiously looked at Mu Chen.

“Sorry, I’m not denying your points for my pride. I have still not fallen so low as
to take that step yet.” Mu Chen said softly.

Wen Qingxuan crossed her arms as she tilted her head with a cold expression. At
this point in time, what method do you still have? Perhaps, are you going to sweep
those powerful teams once again?

If Mu Chen showed any slight intentions, those in the Top 16 would immediately
ignite their Academy Plaques.

Seeing her reaction, Mu Chen helplessly smiled as he replied, “I believe I know

where Ji Xuan got his points from.”

Luo Li and the rest looked over at his direction, even Wen Qingxuan as well.

“They used temptations and threatening means to keep a bunch in storage.” Mu Chen
said lightly as he continued, “Those in storage could provide Ji Xuan with a large
sum of points at the last minute. However, he had it deeply concealed this whole
time and has never revealed them.”

The so-called “storage” was similar to raising livestock, butchering them the
moment they were fattened. However, it wasn’t flesh that was butchered, but points.

“Storage?” The eyes of Luo Li and the rest changed a little. They never imagined
that Ji Xuan would resort to such a dishonorable method. It wasn’t easy to have
storages in the Great Spiritual Academy Tournament. There wasn’t any meaning to it
if it was a small amount and it would easily lead to a rebound as well. The moment
hundreds of teams began to fight back, no one could withstand it. The moment there
was a large number of casualties, they would have their qualifications in the Great
Spiritual Academy Tournament stripped from them as well.
“How did you know about it?” Wen Qingxuan questioned in puzzlement. If Ji Xuan had
resorted to such methods, he should have concealed himself deep enough that he
wouldn’t reveal it.

“Because I know him too well. No matter what he does, he would leave a backup plan.
Thus, I had someone secretly investigate and, fortunately, there were results of
the investigation.” Mu Chen replied with a smile.

“Even if you know that he had resorted to such methods, right now…” Shen Cangsheng
spoke with a helpless voice. With the current situation, it wasn’t an easy task to
make a comeback.

“You have also made your preparations, right?” Luo Li’s crystal eyes were quietly
looking at Mu Chen.

“Pretty much.”

Mu Chen smiled with a smear of charming confidence. Thereafter, he flicked his

fingers as a pillar of Spiritual Energy soared up to the sky as it emitted an
enormous radiance.

Everyone in this region was looking at him in astonishment.

The atmosphere was still tranquil, but after about ten minutes, the peace was
smashed. Everyone raised their heads as they saw streaks of light in large amounts
across the horizon.

Whoooooosh! Whooosh!

The streaks of light finally stopped in the sky as hundreds of teams were gathered.

Seeing those teams, those that were sharp seemed to have sensed something unusual
as astonishment surged from their hearts. Overwhelmed with shock, they looked at Mu
Chen.

Amongst the teams, a figure stepped out as he looked exceptionally familiar. He was
the Captain of the Desolate Spiritual Academy that was once rescued by Mu Chen, Lin
Zhou.

“Haha, Brother Mu, all the teams gathered here were saved by you in the past. We
will return the favor we owed you back then.

Lin Zhou cupped his hands towards Mu Chen as his laughter roared in the sky, luring
countless startled gazes onto him.

Who could have expected that when Ji Xuan had such a backup plan, Mu Chen had one
of his own as well?!
Chapter 597 - The Finals
More than a hundred teams majestically stood on the sky. Their formation had
attracted the attention of everyone in this region, along with unconcealable
astonishment in their eyes.

Even Shen Cangsheng, Li Xuantong and the rest of the team, with Luo Li and Wen
Qingxuan included, were looking at the abrupt appearance of Lin Zhou’s group with
astonishment in their eyes. Clearly, this was out of their expectations as well.

“What is going on?” Wen Qingxuan involuntarily asked as she looked at Mu Chen.
“Ji Xuan had his method and so I made my own preparations as well.” Mu Chen lightly
smiled as he looked at Lin Zhou’s group and continued, “And, they are the
preparations I have made.”

“You’ve created a storage as well?” Shen Cangsheng spoke out in astonishment.

“These teams owed me a favor. After that, I contacted Lin Zhou to contact the other
teams with the hope that they could help me if there were any sudden changes.”

Mu Chen continued with a soft voice, “But, naturally, if Ji Xuan did not resort to
any dishonorable methods, they also would not show themselves.”

Shen Cangsheng and the team exchanged looks amongst themselves and couldn’t help
smacking their lips. They were looking at Mu with odd gazes as these perfect
preparations had thoroughly stunned them.

“Don’t look at me with those gazes. I have fought with Ji Xuan too many times, so I
have an understanding of his methods. In the Spiritual Road, I was tricked by him
once. Although I was willing, I will not be tricked by him the second time.” Mu
Chen smiled.

“But, even if those teams do owe you a favor, it wouldn’t be so simple for them to
give their points to you, right?” Luo Li’s clear pupils glanced at Mu Chen.

Although only those in the Top 8 would proceed to the next round, while the rest
were eliminated, that didn’t mean that those points had no use to those teams. If
their points were too low in the Great Spiritual Academy Tournament, the academy
that they represent would be excluded out for the next tournament.

Mu Chen nodded his head as he spoke, “So I promised them 5 drops of Sovereign
Spiritual Liquid per team.”

Luo Li and Wen Qingxuan understood what was going on from Mu Chen’s words as they
looked at him with peculiar gazes. It turns out that there was an important
condition. After all, the Sovereign Spiritual Liquid wasn’t an ordinary item at
their current cultivation.

Thus, it wasn’t too surprising that those teams were willing to help Mu Chen for
the Sovereign Spiritual Liquid, including the favor they owed to him.

“How are you going to get so much Sovereign Spiritual Liquid?” Luo Li asked in
doubt. They hadn’t obtained so much Sovereign Spiritual Liquid back when they were
at the Hidden Spiritual Courtyard.

“Could it be that you can unseal the Spiritual Condensing Bowl?”

Mu Chen nodded as he smiled. “Because of the fact that I have grown stronger, I
tried using some methods. Although I wasn’t able to completely unseal the Spiritual
Condensing Bowl, I managed to open a tiny crack. Through that crack, I was able to
obtain over eight hundred drops of Sovereign Spiritual Liquid.”

Luo Li nodded her head from Mu Chen’s answer. No wonder Mu Chen could be so
generous, so it turns out that he had obtained a huge amount of Sovereign Spiritual
Liquid.

“That’s filthy rich.” Shen Cangsheng, Li Xuantong and the rest smacked their lips.
An ordinary person could definitely not give out something like five hundred drops
of Sovereign Spiritual Liquid so easily. The Sovereign Spiritual Liquid was
important to even Sovereign experts, not to mention those that were around their
levels who had yet to come in contact with Sovereign Realm.

“I don’t want to do this as well…”

Mu Chen sighed as he let out a mouthful of air. Five hundred drops of Sovereign
Spiritual Liquid was not a small amount. Even if Mu Chen had the Spiritual
Condensing Bowl, he was heart pained at this decision. But aside from this, he had
no other way.

He knew that Ji Xuan was sly, thus to keep things in check, he had to resort to
unusual methods as well.

“Indeed, you have already made your preparations, seems like I offered a favor for
naught.” Wen Qingxuan’s slender eyes stared at Mu Chen as she said faintly after
understanding what Mu Chen had said as she flung her lips aside.

She was still quite worried earlier, but who could have expected that in an
instant, Mu Chen had already flipped the unfavorable situation around? Although the
latter had always maintained a cautious mindset, she was also slightly startled or
even admired him. However, her prideful character made her feel unhappy. After all,
with her character, it was extremely rare for her to have said those words earlier.
But who could have imagined that, in the end, she was the one overthinking the
situation?

Mu Chen stared at Wen Qingxuan’s charming face for a long time, before speaking
with an earnest tone, “Although my methods were in place to keep Ji Xuan in check,
it isn’t too honorable as well. Thus, I have not spoken about it. Furthermore…
thanks for that, Qingxuan.”

Mu Chen’s gaze stopped at Wen Qingxuan’s face. Seeing that the former was using an
earnest gaze as he looked at her, her face was a little red, but she continued to
make a strong front as she replied, “I’m not that close to you, what are you
calling me? You only need to explain these matters to Luo Li, it has nothing to do
with me. If it wasn’t for you traveling a long distance to rescue me back then, and
in addition to my loathe for Ji Xuan, I wouldn’t bother myself with your matters.”

Luo Li pursed her lips as she smiled from the side.

Mu Chen also smiled as he knew how prideful Wen Qingxuan was, thus he did not speak
any further and shifted his gaze to Lin Zhou’s group. He cupped his hands as he
said, “Captain Lin Zhou, I express my gratitude for this.”

“Haha, what are you talking about, Brother Mu? We have all received favor from you
and, naturally, we will return the favor you gave us.” Lin Zhou roared with
laughter as he waved his hand. Over a hundred other Captains from various teams
took out their Academy Plaques as their plaques flickered with light, turning into
streaks of light as they flew out.

Mu Chen raised the Academy Plaque in his hand as rays of light surged, absorbing
all those lights directed at him.

As the lights were absorbed, the Academy Plaque in Mu Chen’s hand glowed with
radiance. Along with it, his points were soaring at a terrifying speed.

180,000… 200,000… 230,000… 260,000…

After reaching 260,000 points, it finally slowed down and the scarlet points
instantly made every team in this region suck in a mouthful of chilled air.
The points of Mu Chen’s team had flown by nearly 100,000.

When Mu Chen’s points soared, the team led by Mu Chen went up as well, surpassing
Ji Xuan and stood firmly at the Numero Uno.

In less than half an hour, the Numero Uno ranking had changed its owner again!

Mu Chen looked at the drastic increase of his points with a faint smile.
Thereafter, he cupped his hands towards Lin Zhou’s group and waved his hand, more
than a hundred streaks of light flew out from his sleeve towards the direction of
Lin Zhou’s party.

Lin Zhou’s party knew what Mu Chen’s action meant as they grabbed a streak of light
each with their hands. The streaks of light turned into sparkling and translucent
jade bottles. Inside those jade bottles, there were five drops of sparkling
Sovereign Spiritual Liquid roaming inside, emitting astonishing Spiritual Energy
fluctuations at the same time.

Looking at the Sovereign Spiritual Liquids contained within the jade bottle, the
eyes of Lin Zhou’s group were surging with unconcealable excitement. Soon after,
all of them deeply cupped their hands at Mu Chen to express their gratitude.

Numerous teams in this region were looking at Mu Chen with complicated glances. Who
could have imagined that the hopeless situation had flipped around under the smile
of that youth?

“How formidable.” A soft sigh resounded. In this sort of situation, no one would
criticise Mu Chen’s methods. After all, they were well aware that the way Ji Xuan
obtained his points wasn’t honorable as well. All Mu Chen did was giving Ji Xuan a
taste of his own medicine.

“Mu Chen and Ji Xuan are both monstrous characters. Who knows how intense their
battle will be in the Finals when they face against each other…”

On the mountain peak, Mu Chen’s gaze fell onto Shen Cangsheng and the rest of the
party as he solemnly said, “The Finals will soon begin and I hope that the two
teams of our Northern Heavens Spiritual Academy can be reorganized to participate
the Finals with our strongest.”

“We’ll heed your instructions.” Shen Cangsheng, Li Xuantong, Xu Huang, He Yao and
the rest nodded their heads with heavy expressions.

“I plan to reorganize the two teams with Shen Cangsheng, Li Xuantong, and Su Xuan
joining my team.” Mu Chen looked at He Yao, Zhao Qingshan and the rest of the
group. Shen Cangsheng, Li Xuantong, and Su Xuan were the strongest aside from him
and Luo Li. Thus, if they could reorganize their team, it would naturally become a
powerful formation.

“I have no opinions except for one request.” He Yao, Zhao Qingshan, Mu Fengyang and
the others exchanged a look as they smiled. They weren't bothered by this matter as
they understood the importance of the Northern Heavens Spiritual Academy’s victory.

“What is it?”

“Defeat Ji Xuan for us!” He Yao’s group said with heavy voices.

“Leave it to me.” Mu Chen smiled as he extended his hand out.

Luo Li also extended her slender hand out as she placed it on top of Mu Chen’s. Su
Xuan, Shen Cangsheng, Li Xuantong followed after as fighting intent blazed in their
eyes.

“The Seniors and Juniors of our Northern Heavens Spiritual Academy are waiting for
us, we can’t let them be disappointed.”

Mu Chen placed his other hand on the Academy Plaque as he looked at Wen Qingxuan,
“Qingxuan, are you ready?”

Wen Qingxuan was also holding onto her Academy Plaque as she raised her brows at Mu
Chen with laughter. “If we are unlucky and meet each other in the Finals, don’t
blame me for not having any leniency. Our cooperation ends here.”

“Likewise.”

Mu Chen laughed as his black pupils surged with spirit.

Tssssssss!

The Academy Plaque in Mu Chen’s hand turned red as a flame sprouted out, engulfing
his Academy Plaque.

At the same time, Wen Qingxuan had also ignited hers.

Every single team in this region was looking at this scene with complicated
expressions. Eight of the Top 16 had ignited their Academy Plaques, meaning this
tournament that lasted nearly half a year had finally come to an end.

Coming up next would be the decisive battle that everyone would be focused on.

Whooooosh!

When the Academy Plaques in Mu Chen and Wen Qingxuan’s hand lit up, every single
Academy Plaque in this tournament combusted as well, turning into radiant pillars
of light as they engulfed the teams within them…

Countless pillars of light soared over the horizon.

At this instant, fighting intent filled the entire heavens and earth.
Chapter 598 - After half a year, the Northern Heavens Spiritual Academy
The Northern Heavens Spiritual Academy.

Compared to the Great Spiritual Academy Tournament filled with cruel battles, the
atmosphere in the academy was rather calm. The Spiritual Energy in the heavens and
earth were indolently moving about. The Northern Heavens Spiritual Academy was
emitting youthfulness from the breeze of wind.

They had already left the academy for half a year.

When Mu Chen’s group joined the Great Spiritual Academy Tournament, almost every
single student was looking with expectation while raising their heads. However,
there wasn't any news of the tournament as time passed. Thus, everyone could only
unwillingly pacify their hearts and returned to their daily cultivations. But,
occasionally, they would raise their heads and look at the antique huge bell at the
center of the Northern Heavens Spiritual Academy.

If there was any news of the tournament, the ancient bell would ring.
But, regrettably, there wasn’t any activity from the bell for half a year.

The Northern Heavens Spiritual Academy was filled with vitality and the academy
wouldn’t stop their progress for anyone. Not even Mu Chen and his group that was
sent to participate in the tournament.

Thus, when they left, the colossal Spiritual Academy was still very interesting,
since there were newcomers constantly appearing as they set off ripples in the
academy.

No matter how outstanding those newcomers and black horses were, no one could
surpass that name on the Heavenly Ranking that had disappeared for half a year.

That name was an indomitable great mountain to all the geniuses in the Northern
Heavens Spiritual Academy.

That was precisely the reason why those geniuses in the Northern Heavens Spiritual
Academy had not given up. The pressure brought to them from the name was the
motivation for them to keep pressing forth. Even if they failed, they would still
stand crawl back up with excitement as they convinced themselves that they were a
step closer to that name.

The outcome from that resulted in more and more people cultivating in the Lightning
Territory and the Spirit Convergence Array. The teachers and Elders of the Northern
Heavens Spiritual Academy were gratified as their dedication in cultivation grew
stronger.

Northern Heavens Spiritual Academy, Goddess Luo Association

The current headquarters of the Goddess Luo Association was located at the center
of the academy. The Spiritual Energy gathered there was thicker compared to the
outer sector. Furthermore, there weren’t many cases of mistreatment of a student’s
association.

The headquarters of the Goddess Luo Association still had a vast cultivating field
with a huge lake on both sides of the field. The spiritual fog that took form from
thick Spiritual Energy floated on the lake, making it seem like an immortal’s
paradise.

On the cultivating field, there were thousands of people training as they sparred
with each other and the screeches of wind that were caused by their actions
constantly rang out.

In just half a year, the Goddess Luo Association had grown larger. The Freshmen
from back then had shredded their freshness as they started to display their
talents, blossoming their radiance in the Northern Heavens Spiritual Academy.

The Goddess Luo Association had already become the full deserving title of being
the strongest student’s association.

On the cultivating field, there were many figures moving about and, occasionally,
those members of the Goddess Luo Association would direct their sights on the
central region during their training. The main reasons for this were naturally the
two beautiful silhouettes in the center.

One of those two beautiful silhouettes were extremely familiar, one was Su Xuan’s
younger sister, Su Ling’er. In half a year, this pampered girl had matured a lot,
yet she still wore a scarlet-red dress, being exceptionally eye-catching. Her
graceful figure had a marvelous curve to it, is extremely attractive.

Su Ling’er joined the Goddess Luo Association not long after Mu Chen’s party went
into the Great Spiritual Academy Tournament. Naturally, the association was
extremely welcoming on her joining. After all, Su Ling’er pretty much had a decent
amount of fame in the Northern Heavens Spiritual Academy. There were many that
admired her and her joining would make the Goddess Luo Association stronger as
well.

As for the other figure, it was Yu Xi that came from the Northern Spiritual Academy
before Mu Chen embarked for the Great Spiritual Academy Tournament.

Although she was young and her age was more or less similar to Sun’er, her fame was
extremely resounding in the Goddess Luo Association. After joining the Northern
Heavens Spiritual Academy, she had displayed astonishing talent as she had already
leaped to the 2nd of the Spirit Ranking.

Whereas the first was a record left behind by the past Mu Chen…

Although her speed was a little inferior compared to Mu Chen’s, she was still
breathtaking. If Mu Chen was the representative from his batch, then Yu Xi was the
representative for hers…

Who knows, she might replace Mu Chen’s position after two years. But without a
doubt, Mu Chen would have left the Northern Heavens Spiritual Academy by that time.

Currently, Yu Xi was sitting on a huge rock located at the corner of the

cultivating field as she lifted a rock with both of her arms. Her green long dress
made her figure seem even more slender as her charming face attracted many gazes
over.

In the Goddess Luo Association, there was a ranking of Three Fairies. Su Ling’er
and she took the first and second, while Sun’er took the last.

However, Sun’er spent most of her time practicing Spiritual Arrays. Although her
Spiritual Energy cultivation wasn’t too outstanding, she displayed astonishing
talent in terms of Spiritual Arrays. In half a year, there was already a huge
improvement in her cultivation regarding Spiritual Arrays. Some time ago, she
managed to accidentally defeat a Senior that was Ranked 10 on the Heavenly
Rankings, causing quakes in the Northern Heavens Spiritual Academy.

Thus, the Seniors weren’t the strongest in the Goddess Luo Association, but these
three beautiful girls…

Yu Xi sat on the ice-cold rock as she had just finished her cultivation. She slowly
bent her straightened legs as she placed her lovable chin on her knees. Her jet-
black eyes were directed on the bell, a mountain in the center of the Northern
Heavens Spiritual Academy, and paid no attention towards the surrounding admiring
gazes that were directed at her.

Beside Yu Xi, Su Ling’er had also raised her head, looking at the bell. Her usual
lively expression was quiet as she looked as if she was submerged in her thoughts.

“Haha, you guys are thinking of Mu Chen again?” A gentle laughter came from the
side. Yu Xi and Su Ling’er abruptly looked over as they saw Ye Qingling standing at
the side as she was looking at them full of smiles.
“Who’s thinking of that guy!” Su Ling’er pouted as she continued, “I was just
thinking about my older sister and the rest…”

“No, no…”

Yu Xi, however, had her face flushed red as she quickly waved her hands in denial.
However, it wasn’t too convincing as her gaze had been evading. To be exact, she
had only seen Mu Chen once, but she was already too familiar with the latter’s
name. Ever since she entered the Northern Spiritual Academy, she had been hearing
stories about Mu Chen and now that she came to the Northern Heavens Spiritual
Academy, she was still hearing that dazzling youth. But still, she had to admit
that when she first came to the Northern Heavens Spiritual Academy, she saw the
battle for the Heavenly Ranking’s Overlord position between Mu Chen and Shen
Cangsheng, and her heart was shaken.

At that time, the figure that was filled with fighting intent had left behind a
shadow in her heart. That day, Mu Chen’s appearance was too dignified, many girls
had his figure branded in their hearts.

“Big Sister Ye, do you… think that Big Brother Mu Chen and the rest could get into
the Finals?” Yu Xi hesitated for a moment but still couldn’t hold herself back to
ask the question.

Ye Qingling sat down beside them as she looked at the bell. She pondered for a
moment before answering, “I heard that the competition for this tournament is the
most intense in the past decades.”

The face of Yu Xi and Su Ling’er changed a little as they bit on their lips. They
were well aware of how powerful Mu Chen and his team were, but at the same time,
they were also well-aware that their opponents were geniuses from various
academies. Thus, it would definitely not be an easy task for them to rise above
others under the cruel competition.

“Big Brother Mu Chen and the rest will definitely make it to the Finals!” Yu Xi
clenched her fist as she firmly spoke. She refused to believe that the undefeated
figure in her heart would be defeated by someone else.

“We hope so as well.” Ye Qingling rubbed her head. A few days ago, she heard from
Sun’er that a monstrous figure had appeared from the Saint Spiritual Academy. The
name of that fella was called Ji Xuan and in addition, he was a sworn enemy of Mu
Chen’s. So much so that even the Elders of the Northern Heavens Spiritual Academy
had slightly heavy expressions when they mentioned his name. Thus, one could expect
how monstrous he was. If this fellow targeted Mu Chen, it was definitely a
worrisome matter.

Although Mu Chen was very powerful, was he able to maintain his foothold while
dealing with that guy whom even the Elders of the academy would have their
expressions changed just from mentioning his name?

Ye Qingling lightly sighed in her heart as she felt a little uneasy.

Yu Xi and Su Ling’er seemed to have sensed the uneasiness in Ye Qingling as they

exchanged a glance and became silent as well.

Dong!

Suddenly, just when they went into silence, an ancient bell rang out as it
resonated between these heavens and earth.
The bell’s ringing spread throughout the Northern Heavens Spiritual Academy. The
hustle and bustle that was filled with vitality suddenly went silent. Countless
students were blankly staring at each other. It was after a brief moment later that
they recovered and understood the meaning behind the bell.

Ye Qingling, Yu Xi, and Su Ling’er, who was seated on the mountain, were dazed for
an instant, before abruptly raising their heads. Their eyes were looking at the
ancient bell in surprise as excitement and nervousness rose up in their hearts.

Whooooosh! Whooosh!

Up in the sky, there were screeches of wind that rang out from every single
direction. In an instant, the entire academy went into an uproar.

Everyone knew what that bell meant…

The Great Spiritual Academy Tournament’s Finals was coming!

Chapter 599 - Battle World
Dong!

The Northern Heavens Spiritual Academy fell into silence as the ringing bell
reverberated throughout the heavens and earth. However, that silence lasted for a
brief moment, before it was ruined by the quaking cheers.

The Final Battle of the Great Spiritual Academy Tournament that they had been
anticipating for half a year had arrived at last!

The entire academy was ignited by the fiery atmosphere as innumerable students were
looking at the bell with excitement, expectations, and nervousness in their eyes.

They yearned to know the results of the two teams that represented their Northern
Heavens Spiritual Academy to participate in the Great Spiritual Academy Tournament…

Whooooooosh!

Hasty and hurried whooshing sounds resounded in the sky as a sea of humans quickly
gathered. Those that were intending to enter the Lightning Territory to cultivate
turned around as they rushed for the direction of the bell in excitement.

The news had spread at lightning speed into the Lightning Territory and Spirit
Convergence Array, waking those that were enclosed in their cultivation. When they
heard that the Final Battle of the Great Spiritual Academy Tournament was
approaching, they could no longer be bothered to cultivate as they quickly stood up
and rushed for the academy.

In an instant, the atmosphere in the academy boiled.

As the boiling atmosphere started to spread, the usually closed door located on a
certain secluded mountain faraway opened as an elegant silhouette strode forth.

That silhouette was dressed in a snow-white dress, with her hair draped down to her
waist like a waterfall. She was holding onto a simple and unadorned scroll with
complicated Spiritual Array runes on the surface of it. Her complexion was lucid
and elegant. In the past, her face was filled with indifference, as if there was
nothing in this world that could disturb her heart.

However, at this moment, the indifferent expression that she had been wearing in
the past had now shown a rare tint of vividness as a smear of joy rushed forth in
her gorgeous eyes.
She stood outside the house as her gaze was directed at the bell. Her rosy lips
were slightly lifted as she revealed a charming smile, which had a distinctive
feature that could not be reproduced by others.

“Big Sister Ling Xi, will Big Brother Mu Chen be able to enter the Finals?” At her
rear, Sun’er asked as she blinked her big eyes. She still had her black ponytail.
Excitement covered her face because she had finally heard news from Mu Chen and the
rest after waiting for half a year.

“Certainly.” Ling Xi answered with no hesitation. Mu Chen is the child of Aunt

Jing, how hard is it for him to get into the Finals?

Although Ling Xi understood how intense the competition in the Great Spiritual
Academy Tournament was, a small part of the reverence that she had for Aunt Jing
was shifted onto Mu Chen. Thus, she did not think that Mu Chen would be weaker
compared to anyone of his age.

Sun’er covered her mouth as she secretly laughed, “Looks like Big Sister Ling Xi is
the most confident about Big Brother Mu Chen. Some time ago, even the Dean and the
rest were very worried about it because the strength of Big Brother Mu Chen’s enemy
is a little too powerful.”

“Furthermore, ever since Big Brother Mu Chen left, Big Sister Ling Xi has never
smiled once. But you become so happy the moment you hear news with regards to him.”

Ling Xi’s face blushed for a moment as she narrowed her eyes and shooting a
dangerous glance at Sun’er. “Looks like the time you spent in the Spiritual Array
House was a little too short. I’ll increase it next time.”

“Ah? Nono, Big Sister Ling Xi, I’m in the wrong!” Sun’er spoke in a pitiful manner
as her face paled from Ling Xi’s words.

Ling Xi softly flicked Sun’er pearly forehead, letting her off. Her gaze was on the
bell as a tint of graveness surfaced in her eyes. After regaining her calm, she
also understood that Mu Chen must be having a difficult time.

All in all, that person called Ji Xuan truly was a troublesome opponent. With that
fellow’s current strength, he might even be comparable to some Elders in the
Northern Heavens Spiritual Academy.

She wasn’t skeptical if Mu Chen could make it to the Finals. However, if he truly
encountered Ji Xuan in the Finals, it would definitely be a ferocious battle
between colossal titans.

Even for those Clans with long and deep history, Ji Xuan’s talent could be
considered pretty good.

Whoooooosh.

Just as the atmosphere in the academy was boiling to new heights, several figures
had also flown out of the Inner Palace of the academy as they stood on the sky,
with Dean Tai Cang in front.

Right now, they were also looking at the bell with a little nervousness. Although
the two teams that represented their Northern Heavens Spiritual Academy weren’t
weak, they were aware that the intensity of the competition present in this
tournament far surpassed those in the past decades, those participating were the
strongest as well.

Thus, it wasn’t an easy task to acquire achievements in this tournament.

However, no matter how challenging it was, they had no other choice but to compete,
their title as one of the Five Great Academies was on the line in this round’s
tournament.

If they lost the title, it would definitely have a huge impact on the students of
the Northern Heavens Spiritual Academy. They couldn’t bear to imagine how far the
morale in the academy would fall if that happens.

If that happens, it would definitely have a fatal impact on the entire academy.

Dean Tai Cang looked towards his rear, exchanged looks with Hallmaster Mo Yu and
the other Elders, and saw the hint of graveness in each other’s eyes.

“Dean, let’s get prepared to open the Battle Domain.” Hallmaster Mo Yu spoke in a
soft voice. Right now, worrying was useless and what they could do was to open the
world and see if Mu Chen and the other representatives managed to achieve any
results.

Dean Tai Cang unhurriedly nodded his head as his hand seals started to change. A
ray of spiritual light that seemed like a meteor shot forward from his fingertips
as it streaked across the horizon, before heavily striking against the bell.

Dooong!

A long-lasting bell ringing sound resounded as it resonated again.

Buzzz. Buzzzzz.

Along with the bell ringing, golden light poured out in waves from the bell as the
entire area looked as if it was being filled with the golden light.

The golden light slowly came together in the sky, distorted the space as it formed
a golden passage.

“This passage leads to the Battle Domain, a small space meant for the Final Battle
of the Great Spiritual Academy Tournament. Aside from the Freshmen, all the
remaining students are allowed to enter. You are not allowed to obstruct or act in
a disorderly manner. Otherwise, you will be punished as per the academy rules!”
Dean Tai Cang swept his gaze around the entire Northern Heavens Spiritual Academy
as his thunderous voice rang out in everyone’s ears.

“Yes!”

Hearing his announcement, innumerable students were filled with excitement, leaving
the Freshmen in grief. Although there was a Spiritual Projection Screen, how could
it be compared to watching it on the spot?

However, Dean Tai Cang gave no regards to their grief, he moved as he turned into a
streak of light and entered the golden passage with Hallmaster Mo Yu following
closely behind him.

Whooooosh! Whoooosh!

Screeches of wind were heard from everywhere, the vast amounts of figures were like
locusts as they soared towards the Northern Heavens Spiritual Academy, entering the
golden passage.

On the mountain peak, Ling Xi hesitated as she looked at the golden passage.

“Big Sister Ling Xi, let’s go as well. I want to know the situation of Big Brother
Mu Chen.” Sun’er blinked her wide eyes as she spoke while tugging on Ling Xi’s
sleeves.

Hearing her plea, Ling Xi lifted her brows for an instant, before replying as if
nothing had happened, “Okay then, since you want to watch, I’ll bring you to take a
look at it.”

As she spoke, she saw Sun’er secretly laughing with her mouth covered. In an
instant, her face flushed red as she shot a furious glance at the latter as the
little lass actually dared to make fun of her.

Ling Xi extended her hand as she held onto Sun’er’s tiny hand. With a wave of her
hand, they turned into a streak of light and flew away.

“Let’s go as well!”

Ye Qingling spoke with excitement in the Goddess Luo Association.

“But, I’m a Freshman.” Yu Xi pouted as she looked as if she would burst into tears
at any moment.

“Don’t worry about it, we’ll sneak in. Although there are guards from the
Punishment Hall, they have to give our Goddess Luo Association some face. Back
then, Mu Chen defeated three Seniors of the Punishment Hall, so they wouldn’t dare
do anything to us from the Goddess Luo Association.” Su Ling’er made a lovable
smile as she incited.

“Okay!” Yu Xi hesitated for a brief moment and, eventually, her feelings

overwhelmed her rationale as she nodded while biting her lips.

“Let’s go!” Ye Qingling waved her hand as she took the initiative to move first.
Behind her, Yu Xi and Su Ling’er immediately followed as the three of them joined
into the streaks of light, entering the golden passage.

When they entered the golden passage, Ye Qingling, Yu Xi, and Su Ling’er could
sense the distinct unstable ripples in the space. Golden light flooded their sights
as they felt dizziness.

Fortunately, the dizziness only lasted for a brief moment, before the radiant
golden light gradually disappeared. Immediately, the scene before their eyes
started to change as their mouths widened, bit by bit.

A vast golden world had appeared right before their eyes as it became filled with
noise.

There was no end to the number of people.

In the sky a long distance away, there were similar golden vortex passages with
people constantly exiting them. Judging from the clothes they wore, they were
evidently students from the other Spiritual Academies.

Nearly all the large-scaled Spiritual Academies had opened the Battle World,
allowing their students to enter and observe the battle.
Although the multitude filled the area, students of different Spiritual Academies
were separated as they gathered amongst themselves as they stood in the sky. The
grandiose scene was extremely spectacular.

The majestic formations made Ye Qingling’s group feel dumbfounded and they
recovered from their shock a long time later. They looked up ahead, there was a
vast floating golden-colored stone platform that engulfed the golden light,
separating the stone platform with the outside area.

Whoooooosh! Whooosh!

Just as a multitude of people gathered in this region, countless golden lights fell
onto the stone platform and as the golden light dissipated, countless teams wearing
different clothing appeared.

These were all the teams that had participated in the Great Spiritual Academy
Tournament.

Countess gazes filled with respect were directed at those teams. It didn’t matter
if they were from the same academy as them, the fact that they fought for their own
Spiritual Academy deserved respect.

Dong!

The antique bell rang out once again.

This time, everyone’s eyes were blazing as they looked at the central region of the
golden-colored stone platform, which was radiating with golden light.

The uproars that filled every corner went into silence as everyone’s eyes widened.

They knew that the top eight teams that would proceed to the Final Battle would
soon make their appearance!
Chapter 600 - Golden Battle Stairs
A colossal Golden Battle Stage appeared, as if a god had descended on the world,
and remained hovering in the sky. A golden ocean of radiant light covered the
region, the sight of it was extremely grandiose.

The four sides around the vast Battle Stage was already occupied by students of
various Spiritual Academies, there was no end to the sea of people.

The students from various Spiritual Academies staying in the region belonging to
their own academy as screens of light shone down and dividing them based on their
factions. After all, there were too many people here, preventing the possibility of
fights between the various academies if those vigorous students were overwhelmed by
their emotions when the tournament starts.

Since such an incident took place in the past, the Five Great Academies carried out
such perfect measures to prevent such incidents from taking place again.

At this moment, everyone was looking at the central region of the Battle Stage. The
golden light started to spread out as a golden platform of stairs took form under
the countless gazes.

There were eight flights of steps and the highest level was roughly three hundred
meters in size, a golden light shaped into a golden lotus that looked extremely
gorgeous.

Only those in the Top 8, could have the qualifications to stand here on the golden
stairs, commonly known as the Stairs of the Final Battle.

Whoooooosh!

Just when everyone’s sight was gathered on the golden platform, the space above the
platform started to distort as five figures appeared.

The moment those five figures appeared, golden light gathered behind them that
formed a huge light throne as they overlooked the vast Golden Battle Stage.

Countless students from the various Spiritual Academies that were present in this
region shifted their gazes onto the five figures as reverence reflected in their
eyes. Those five people were the leaders of the current Five Great Academies.

The Deans of the Five Great Academies.

Dean Tai Cang sat at the last to the right with an indifferent expression. His eyes
were as abstruse as the starry skies. Also, although he looked ordinary, an
indescribable power was emitting from him, intimidating this entire region.

The one on the right of Dean Tai Cang was an elder wearing an azure robe. His brows
and mustache were ash-grey, while his skin was as fair as an infant. An azure pine,
which was similar to jade, seemed to be growing on his palm as it swayed and
flickered in the azure light. Along with it, even the surrounding space seemed to
be swaying as well.

He was the Dean of the Azure Sky Spiritual Academy, Dean Tian Song.

The first on the left was a dried-up old man with a small figure and a pair of
drowsy eyes and was rubbing his mustache with his bony palm. However, despite how
he looked, he had an overbearing name.

Dean of the Martial Spiritual Academy, Wu Tianwang.

Seated beside Dean Wu Tianwang was a gorgeous woman. She wore a beautiful long
dress, along with a graceful and luxurious appearance, her hair was coiled together
as it looked like a phoenix’s tail and had glossy jade-like skin. Compared to the
four other Deans, she appeared extremely young. However, everyone knew that aside
from the Saint Spiritual Academy’s Dean, no one could surpass her in terms of
seniority.

She was the Dean of the Myriad Phoenix Spiritual Academy, Dean Tang Qiu.

Amongst the five thrones, there was one that was exceptionally prominent, sat by an
imposing figure and whose true age could not be identified. He had ash-grey hair,
while his face looked as if it was carved, looking rather handsome. He sat
indifferently on his throne, but he was like a colossal mountain that stood
towering, instilling fear in others.

This person was the Dean of the Saint Spiritual Academy, Dean Tian Sheng. Amongst
the Five Great Academies, his name was the most resounding with unfathomable
strength.

The five great figures represented the pinnacle strength amongst the countless
Spiritual Academies, is a tremendous figure in the field of academics.

As the Five Great Deans showed themselves, they greeted each other as they
exchanged looks and nodded their heads with one another.
“Deans from the various Spiritual Academies, please take a seat.” A smile surfaced
on the sculpture-carved face of Dean Tian Sheng as his spring filled voice rang out
to every corner of this space.

As he spoke, space distorted in the sky again as numerous figures appeared in a

flash as they stepped on the space. All of them were emitting terrifying power,
despite the fact that there weren’t any powerful Spiritual Energy ripples around
them. However, everyone knew that those people before their eyes were the pillars
of the numerous Spiritual Academies with extraordinary strength.

When the Deans of various Spiritual Academies made their appearance, they cupped
their hands in the direction of the Five Great Deans. They waved their hands,
gathering light to form light thrones in the sky and sat on them, overlooking the
earth.

Dean Tai Cang shot a glance Dean Tian Sheng, who was unconsciously occupying the
lead as he slightly pulled the corner of his lips. Does Tian Sheng really think of
himself as the Head of the Five Great Academies?

Although the three other Deans did not speak, there were glimpses of resent in
their eyes.

Dean Tian Sheng acted as if he had not noticed their unhappiness as he shifted his
gaze onto Dean Tai Cang and smiled, “Dean Tai Cang, the Great Spiritual Academy
Tournament this round is rather crucial to your Northern Heavens Spiritual
Academy.”

Dean Tai Cang replied with a smile as well, “I do not need your reminder, Dean Tian
Sheng. We, the Northern Heavens Spiritual Academy, will definitely do out best.”

“That is for certain.” Dean Tian Sheng smiled as he nodded his head. “I also hope
that the Northern Heavens Spiritual Academy will perform well this time. Otherwise,
it would be a loss to our four Great Academies if you lose your placing as one of
the Five Great Academies.”

Lights flashed in the eyes of the three other Deans. Naturally, they could make out
the verbal confrontation between the two Deans. However, they weren’t surprised by
it as the Saint Spiritual Academy and Northern Heavens Spiritual Academy didn’t
have a good relationship, to begin with. Back then, Dean Tian Sheng tried to assist
a powerful academy to ascend up to the position of the Five Great Spiritual
Academies so that he would have more support and be closer to being the Head of the
Academies. But, who could have expected that the Northern Heavens Spiritual Academy
would suddenly appear and seize a place of the Five Great Academies, wrecking the
plans of the Saint Spiritual Academy?

“There’s no point talking, let’s begin the Golden Battle Stairs. I also yearn to
know which academy will be in the Top 8.” Dean Tang Qiu of Myriad Phoenix Spiritual
Academy displayed a mature elegant smile which was very charming.

“Haha, Dean Tang Qiu is right. It’s a waste of time wasting saliva if the students’
abilities aren’t up there. Dean Tian Sheng, although you have Ji Xuan in your Saint
Spiritual Academy, don’t underestimate the brats from my academy.”

The small-figured Martial Spiritual Academy’s Dean spoke with an eye-narrowing

smile. Among the five, he had the worst appearance. But when facing this old man,
even Dean Tian Sheng didn’t dare to speak as he nodded with a faint smile on his
face.
The Five Great Deans acted at the same time as they flicked their fingers,
spreading five spiritual lights that shrouded the Golden Battle Stairs, which
attracted the attention of everyone present.

Tsssssshhh Ssssssshhh

As the spiritual light spread out, everyone witnessed the distortion of the space
above the Golden Battle Stairs.

The atmosphere in this region froze as all of the noise turned into silence with
innumerable gazes fixed on the Golden Battle Stairs.

Under the innumerable gazes, the golden light on the eighth level started to
dissipate as five silhouettes showed themselves, slowly being presented before the
countless gazes.

Fang Yun and this four teammates showed themselves. They had already worn their
academy badges and, thus, they were recognized the instant they appeared.

“Rank 8 - Nine Cauldron Spiritual Academy’s team!”

“Truly formidable, no wonder they were once in the Five Great Academies!”

When Fang Yun’s team appeared, an uproar instantly exploded in this region.

As the uproar exploded, the golden light in the remaining levels of the Golden
Battle Stairs started to dissipate as one powerful team after another appeared in
the eyes of the crowd.

“Which academy is in the 7th Rank?”

“Looks like the Undefeated Spiritual Academy, they should be an ordinary Spiritual
Academy, right? They actually made it to the best 8? How is that possible?”

“Where did the Blood God Academy at Rank 6 come from? I’ve never heard of that name
before!”

“Truly well-deserving of the Great Spiritual Academy Tournament, truly hidden

dragons, and crouching tigers! No matter what Spiritual Academy they came from,
their strengths are well-proven by the fact that they are in the best 8.”

“Rank 5 is the team from the Azure Sky Spiritual Academy, led by Liu Qingyun,
right? Haha, the teams from the Five Great Spiritual Academies are finally
appearing!”

“Rank 4 is from the Martial Spiritual Academy? Heavens! That’s Wu Ling, the
absolute genius of the Martial Spiritual Academy! Even someone like him was only
Rank 4? Just how fearsome are the remaining three?!”

When the five powerful teams descended on the golden platform, an uproar exploded
between the heavens and earth as countless voices soared into the skies. Many
people had excited expressions on their faces as the quality of the Great Spiritual
Academy Tournament had far surpassed their imaginations.

Seeing this scene, the Five Great Deans seated on their light thrones had different
expressions flickering in their eyes. Dean Wu of the Martial Spiritual Academy
snorted with his eyes widened. Clearly, he was unsatisfied with the fact that Wu
Ling had only managed to achieve Rank 4.
Dean Tai Cang had a heavy expression with the light in his eyes constantly
changing. Five out of the best 8 have already appeared, leaving the remaining three
hidden and, until now, there wasn’t a single team from his Northern Heavens
Spiritual Academy.

There were only two outcomes to this situation, either the team from their Northern
Heavens Spiritual Academy had not made it to the best 8 or the results achieved by
the team had surpassed his imagination.

Two outcomes, separated by hell and heaven.

The difference between the two outcomes raised billows even in the heart of Dean
Tai Cang.

Even Dean Tai Cang couldn’t maintain his calm, not to mention about the students of
the Northern Heavens Spiritual Academy.

In the region gathered by the students of the Northern Heavens Spiritual Academy,
every single one of them could not sit or stand still as the intense atmosphere
nearly choked them.

Standing at the front, Ye Qingling, Su Ling’er, and Yu Xi’s faces were filled with
nervousness. Even Elder Ling Xi was tightly pursing her lips as her hand, which was
holding onto Sun’er’s tiny hand, was gripping tighter, causing Sun’er to have a
bitter expression, but she didn’t dare to speak up.

Buzzzz.

The golden light started to, once again, spread out on the remaining three
platforms as the silhouettes of the three teams started to reveal themselves.

Everyone had their eyes fixed on the remaining platforms.

Golden light gathered and dissipated in the end, revealing the three remaining
teams, who represented the three strongest teams under the countless gazes.

However, when the three teams were revealed, the atmosphere between the heavens and
earth froze in an instant.
Chapter 601 - The Best 3
The brilliant Golden Battle Stairs stood towering on the Golden Battle Stage. At
this instant, the best 3 teams were thoroughly revealed under all the gazes on the
top three platforms of the Golden Battle Stairs.

However, when those gazes were shot over, the heavens and earth went into silence
as numerous people couldn’t help widening their eyes.

On the third level of the Golden Battle Stairs were five charming girls, especially
the one that stood at the front, who had instantly attracted the attention of
everyone present.

The girl held onto a golden long spear with her hair draped down. Golden battle
armor wrapped around her slender and flexible figure, possessing picturesque looks.
Her phoenix-like eyes made her look arrogant, her fair neck made her look like a
swan, a voluptuous chest with an heart-shaking arc, a slim and tight waist with a
snow-white patch beneath her skirt was so beautiful that nothing more could be
imagined.

Although the four other girls beside her were appealing, they were a little dull
standing beside her as she was simply too dazzling.
Countless gazes were revolving around her body, with many of those gazes radiating
with light and blazing with flames.

“Woah!”

When that team appeared, an alarming burst of cheers exploded from the direction of
the Myriad Phoenix Spiritual Academy. That was basically the most glamorous region
as countless girls were cheering with excited expressions since the team that had
just appeared represented their academy.

When the students from the other Spiritual Academies heard the cheers, they
involuntarily directed their sights over as their eyes became filled with longing.
After all, amongst the Five Great Academies, the male students liked the Myriad
Spiritual Academy the most, since no guys could resist the wonderful feeling of
being surrounded by tens of thousands of flowers.

“Senior Sister Qingxuan made it to the best 3!”

“Hehe, she’s truly worthy of being someone I worship.”

“But I imagined Big Sister Qingxuan taking 1st. From the looks of it, there are
truly hidden dragons and crouching tigers in this Great Spiritual Academy
Tournament.”

Under the soft and delicate voices that filled the air, someone finally directed
their gazes at the second level as another team was revealed.

That team was dressed in white and every single one their momentum was out of the
ordinary. But their facial expressions at this instant weren’t as excited as they
had imagined as they had gloom all over their faces, especially the one leading
whose face was ashen.

“Rank 2 is the team from the Saint Spiritual Academy!”

“Their Captain is that Ji Xuan, right? I have long heard of his name. Reportedly,
he was the most popular predicted champion, how did he end up in 2nd place?”

“Not sure about that, either…”

“Even Ji Xuan only took 2nd, who’s in 1st?”

An uproar filled the sky as they abruptly shifted their gazes upwards and stopped
at the peak of the Golden Battle Stairs. That area was the most eye-catching at
this instant.

The light that filled the heavens and earth gathered as the golden light
dissipated, revealing five silhouettes in the eyes of everyone.

The one standing at the front was a youth dressed in navy clothes. His figure was
tall, like a spear, with outstanding looks. His black pupils were as abstruse as a
starry sky and the outline of his face didn’t make him look young and
inexperienced. On the contrary, there was a smear of decisiveness and self-
confidence that was rarely seen for those at his age.

However, be it his appearance or temperament, he wasn’t in any way inferior to Ji

Xuan.
Standing beside this youth, was a graceful figure. She wore a navy dress and
beneath that dress of hers, was an impressive figure that outlined her curves,
instilling a rush of excitement for those that were looking at her.

The fact that made countless others gasp in surprise was that she wasn’t in any way
inferior to Wen Qingxuan. Her skin was as white as the snow with moon-curved brows.
Especially her crystal-clear pupils, which seemed to possess magic power,
intoxicating others. Looking at her, no matter what troubles they had, all seemed
to disappear by looking into her clear pupils.

Her silvery river long hair fluttered in the wind and in the next moment, two words
rose in everyone’s heart.

Absolutely breathtaking.

Facing such an outstanding girl, even those girls from the Myriad Spiritual Academy
who had extremely high judgment fell into silence as they did not dare to make a
comparison between her and Wen Qingxuan.

Standing beside that girl, was another beauty. Her hair draped down that made her
look exceptionally gentle. Although she wasn’t as breathtaking as the former, her
gentle temperament was still charming.

Standing beside her, were two towering youths, one with handsome features, while
the other was emitting a disdainful temperament. With a glance, anyone could tell
that they weren’t any ordinary goons. Regardless of temperament or appearance, this
team made others gasp in surprise.

The heavens and earth seemed to have fallen into silence for a brief instant as if
they were intimidated by this team that stood at the top.

“It’s the team from our Northern Heavens Spiritual Academy!”

Suddenly, a voice filled with excitement broke the silence. Countless students from
the Northern Heavens Spiritual Academy direction had their faces glow red from
excitement as they yelled.

Astonishment and joy surged from everyone’s eyes as the shock brought by the scene
before them was simply too strong. They never, in their wildest imagination,
imagined that Mu Chen and his team would make it to 1st place!

They actually managed to surpass Ji Xuan, Wen Qingxuan, Wu Ling and Liu Qingyun
from the remaining four of the Five Great Academies!

“Big Brother Mu is mighty!”

Innumerable students of the Northern Heavens Spiritual Academy yelled with their
faces flushed red as the eyes of everyone were filled with excitement and deafening
cheers thundered. Aside from the time when they managed to squeeze into the Five
Great Academies, they never had such similar achievements.

Amidst the thunderous roars, Ye Qingling, Su Ling’er, and Yu Xi couldn’t control

their widening mouths as their eyes were filled with shock.

“Big Brother Mu Chen is simply far too formidable!”

Yu Xi was so excited that her face flushed red, even her speech stuttered. Her eyes
were filled with admiration as the achievement by Mu Chen and his team far
surpassed the expectations of the Northern Heavens Spiritual Academy.
“What a monster.” Ye Qingling also couldn’t help herself as she muttered.

Su Ling’er had stars flashing in her eyes as well that even as someone with her
barbaric personality had troubles controlling her emotions from the over-
excitement.

“Wa, Big Brother Mu Chen is too great!” Sun’er cheered along.

Ling Xi felt relieved in her heart. Half a year of separation, that youth had been
growing up at a rapid speed as he seemed more mature as well.

The excitement from the Northern Heavens Spiritual Academy pulled back the students
of the other academies from their astonishment. Every single one of them had a
complicated gaze, especially the students of the Saint Spiritual Academy. The whole
time, they believed that the Numero Uno belonged to Ji Xuan, thus the current
situation had caught them unprepared.

“What is there to be proud of, it’s just the elimination round. The Finals have yet
to begin.” Criticism spoke from some students of the Saint Spiritual Academy since
they couldn’t bear how cheerful the Northern Heavens Spiritual Academy group was.

The Myriad Spiritual Academy also had countless delicate gazes shoot over at the
top of the Golden Battle Stairs.

“I never imagined that the Numero Uno of the elimination round would go to the team
from the Northern Heavens Spiritual Academy.”

“Their Captain is quite handsome, but why haven’t I heard of such a powerful person
of the Northern Heavens Spiritual Academy in the past?”

“…”

Whispers resounded from the Myriad Spiritual Academy as many girls were a little
curious since they were unfamiliar with Mu Chen.

“His name is Mu Chen, a Freshman from the Northern Heavens Spiritual Academy.”

Amongst all the curious whispers, a voice suddenly rang out. All the girls were
looking at the direction of the voice in astonishment and saw a green-dressed girl,
who was looking at the dazzling figure on the Golden Battle Stage with a
complicated gaze.

The appearance of the girl was also extremely gorgeous. Even amongst the flowers,
she was still rather eye-catching. Her black hair was tied into a ponytail, with
her ponytail curving in at her waist area, which made her look more lively.

“Mhm? Qian’er, you know him?” a voice of exclamation sounded out from a girl.

“Qian’er and he grew up together as childhood sweethearts.” A red-dressed girl

smiled as she covered her mouth. She was Hong Ling, originated from the Northern
Spiritual Academy as well.

The Qian’er that they were referring to was Tang Qian’er, who grew up together with
Mu Chen and went to the Myriad Phoenix Spiritual Academy later.

In just two years, the young girl from before had become increasingly more slender
and elegant and became even more charming. Her eyes were fixed onto that figure,
whom she had not seen for a long time. Although back in the Northern Spiritual
Academy, Mu Chen was already very outstanding, she never imagined that he would be
able to achieve such a feat two years later.

“Haha, so it turns out that Qian’er and he had that relationship. Why don’t you
secretly tell him to lose to Big Sister Qingxuan in the Finals, maybe our Dean will
make an exception for him to join our academy.” The girls that stood by the side
laughed.

Tang Qian’er’s face flushed red as she shot them an annoyed gaze. Shortly after,
her gaze was focused on that figure again as a hint of sentiment that was hard to
defect flashed across her eyes When she saw the girl standing beside him, who was
comparable to Wen Qingxuan, she couldn’t stop herself from biting her rosy lips.

Not knowing why she felt a little regret in her decision to enter the Myriad
Phoenix Spiritual Academy.

Despite so, she still felt happy in her heart to see how outstanding he was.

Tang Qian’er pursed her lips as they slid down an unset arc. However, it was only a
brief moment, before she firmly lifted them up as she clenched her small fist and
spoke in her heart. Mu Chen, you can do it.

If Uncle Mu saw how outstanding you were right now, he would definitely be very
happy.
Chapter 602 - The Finals
When the eight teams made their appearance on the Golden Battle Stairs, deafening
cheers resounded in this region. Whether or not it be the teams that represented
their Spiritual Academy who made it into the Finals, they all held great
expectations for the Final Battle that was about to begin.

All in all, these eight teams before their eyes had risen above the countless
Spiritual Academies. Thus, speaking from a certain degree, their strength
represented the stronger fighting power amongst the academies.

The Five Great Deans who were seated on the sky overlooked the Golden Battle
Stairs, with the exception that every single one of them wore a different
expression.

A dense smile had long replaced the indifferent expression on Dean Tai Cang’s face
as his heart was similarly engulfed in astonishment and surprise.

He wasn’t surprised by the fact that Mu Chen’s team could make it to the Finals; he
just never expected Mu Chen to achieve such a feat in the elimination round.

“Haha, looks like there is a fresh talent emerging from your Northern Heavens
Spiritual Academy in this tournament as well, Dean Tai Cang.” Dean Wu of the
Martial Spiritual Academy shot a glance at Mu Chen as he spoke with an eye-
narrowing smile.

“They are just lucky. That Wu Ling of your school doesn’t look simple, either. I’m
guessing that they are trying to hide their strength and, thus, did not compete for
the best 3. Am I right?” Dean Tai Cang responded with a smile as the joy between
his brows leaked out. After all, it was years since their Northern Heavens
Spiritual Academy achieved such results.

“From the looks of it, Northern Heavens Spiritual Academy seems to have improved.”
Dean Tian Sheng, who was quiet this whole time, let out a faint smile at this
moment as he continued, “Dean Tai Cang, I bid my congratulations to you.”
The smile on Dean Tian Sheng’s face was indifferent with abstruse eyes; no one
could tell what he was thinking. From the looks of it, he didn’t seem too affected
by the fact that Ji Xuan wasn’t able to obtain the first place.

“Dean Tian Sheng must be joking, it doesn’t mean anything since it was only the
elimination round.” Although Dean Tian Sheng was an old fox, Dean Tai Cang wasn’t
someone that's easy to mess with as well as he spoke with a smile. “But no matter
how powerful the opponents are, my Northern Heavens Spiritual Academy will spare no
effort.”

“How expecting.”

Dean Tian Sheng responded with a smile as he nodded his head. He shifted his gaze
onto the three remaining Deans and spoke, “Since the best 8 are already here, shall
we proceed to the Finals?”

The three Deans nodded upon hearing his words.

Looking at their response, Dean Tian Sheng stood up from his throne, which was made
from light. In comparison to the vast heavens and earth, his silhouette was
especially small. But not knowing why the instant he stood up, it felt like he was
overlooking the heavens and earth, unleashing might which was beyond any ability to
describe. Under that terrifying might, the cheers that were resounding in this
region fell into silence in an instant as countless revered gazes were looking at
him.

Mu Chen, who stood at the top of the Golden Battle Stairs, was also looking at the
white-robed figure with his head raised. The might that was emitted from him made
his heart jolt and felt his mind sway. That’s the true power of experts, compared
to that level, there was a huge gap between them. However, he wasn’t dismayed by
that, because he knew that it was just a matter of time to temper himself to that
level.

“Firstly, I would like to congratulate those who managed to get into the Best 8. No
matter what the outcome will be, you are already outstanding amongst all the
Spiritual Academies.” Dean Tian Sheng’s voice was faint as it contained sound waves
that caused a fine trembling between the heavens and earth; even the Spiritual
Energy in everyone’s bodies was trembling along with it.

“The elimination round has already come to an end, and now, we will soon start our
Final Battle.”

“Only the person who rises amongst the others in the Final Battle can be the
strongest amongst the innumerable Spiritual Academies, he will represent the apex
of all academies.”

A multitude had their blood boiled as they heard his speech. The apex was a spot
that held unreachable glory for them and right now, there were only eight teams
that could fight it out for that glory.

“Every single one in the Champion team will receive a thousand drops of Sovereign
Spiritual Liquid and a Sovereign Elixir.”

Whooooooosh.

His words caused an uproar as many people had their eyes reddened. They were well
aware what the Sovereign Spiritual Liquid represented. It was something that was
indispensable to ascend the Sovereign Realm.
Even for some Clans, a thousand drops of Sovereign Spiritual Liquid was not a small
amount.

Moreover, the Sovereign Elixirs were extremely rare, since it was reported that
only Sovereign Spiritual Liquid that had been refined to the limits could be formed
into elixirs, having a price tag comparable to a Low Rank Divine Artifact

Everyone was well aware that even if they did manage to get through the Third Grade
Spirit Disaster, they still required the support of a huge amount of Sovereign
Spiritual Liquid. Not to mention that it wasn’t a hundred percent success rate. The
moment they failed, the Sovereign Spiritual Liquid that they had stockpiled would
all be for naught. Although a Sovereign Elixir still couldn’t guarantee an absolute
success, it increased the success rate by several folds.

The miracle effect was even more precious compared to a Divine Artifact for them
who had not reached the Sovereign Realm.

“Sovereign Elixir… what generosity.”

Even Mu Chen exclaimed in admiration. Due to the fact that he had the Spiritual
Condensing Bowl, although a thousand Sovereign Spiritual Liquid was still very
attractive for him, it still was insufficient to leave him stunned to this level.
But his heart was jolting when he heard the Sovereign Elixir.

“It should be a reward pooled by the Five Great Spiritual Academies, making this
tournament worthy of participating.” Luo Li smiled as she stood by his side.
Although the Sovereign Elixir was extremely precious, it wasn’t to an extent to
make her moved.

“You’re the future Empress of the Luo God Clan. A fulfilled Empress has no idea how
starved her husband is.” Mu Chen teased.

Luo Li helplessly shot an enraged look at him, the flirtatious expression what was
unintentionally revealed by her made the minds of others shake. Even those gazes
gathered on her from outside the Golden Battle Stage lit up.

When Mu Chen’s heart was also shaken by her expression, he sensed a cold gaze
staring at him. Turning his head over, he saw Ji Xuan staring in his direction.

At this moment, Ji Xuan’s face was covered with a layer of chill, no longer having
the gentle expression he had in the past. Clearly, he had fallen into a pit this
time. Originally, he thought that he already had Mu Chen stomped beneath him with
that surge of 50,000 points at the last minute, but his contentment didn’t last
long as he saw Mu Chen’s points soaring at a terrifying speed, surpassing him
before he could firmly sit on the Numero Uno ranking.

Within his raging and shaken heart, Ji Xuan’s pride was clearly broken. If it
wasn’t for the strand of rationale that he held, he might have lost control and
attacked one of the best 8 to seize their points…

However, Mu Chen did not give him much time to plan as eight Academy Plaques
amongst the Top 16 were already ignited when he surpassed Ji Xuan.

Who would have thought that when Ji Xuan attempted to use his schemes on Mu Chen,
he'd smash his own feet instead of with a rock when he chose to end the elimination
round and determined his points.

Although the ranking in the elimination round was completely unrelated from the
contest over the Championship title, in the end, the feeling of being stepped on
still filled Ji Xuan’s heart with rage.

He had never suffered such a huge loss in his life, even his confrontation with Mu
Chen in the Spiritual Road ended with him as the winner.

Mu Chen looked at Ji Xuan’s cold gaze as he replied with a smile and cupped his
hands, “Thanks for that.”

Hearing Mu Chen’s words, Ji Xuan felt suffocation in his heart as his breathing
became heavy, even the movements on his face lessened with his gaze turning colder.

“It’s still a little early for you to be complacent.”

Ji Xuan sneered, “Just hope you don’t encounter me in the first round. Otherwise,
you might not even get into the Best 4.”

“I’ll return your words unchanged.” Mu Chen smiled as an eerie light spun in his
black pupils, “But rest assured, I will have a good fight with you this time.”

“It seems like our previous fight gave you a little too much confidence.” The
corner of Ji Xuan’s lips rose as he continued, “You have to be more careful.
Otherwise, it will be painful when you fall with such high confidence.”

“Don’t fall to your death.” Mu Chen shrugged.

The exchange between the two was filled with chill, making the confrontation in
their words obvious.

Luo Li quietly stood beside Mu Chen as she shot an indifferent glance to Ji Xuan
with her clear eyes. Although she did not speak, the supportive attitude she had of
Mu Chen made the veins on Ji Xuan’s arm throb.

“And now, we will draw lots to determine your opponent!”

Dean Tian Sheng’s voice in the sky resonated once again. He waved his sleeve as
eight light balls flew from his palm and hovered above the battle stage.

“Pick for yourself. Inside the eight light balls, there are colors classified in
pairs. Those who obtained the same color will be your opponent.”

Hearing his voice, all those below raised their heads as the Captains of the eight
teams made a suction gesture, pulling a light ball into their palms.

The light ball hovered above Mu Chen’s hand, he gave Luo Li, Shen Cangsheng and the
rest a glance as all of them lightly nodded their heads at him.

Haaaaaaah.

Mu Chen lightly breathed out a mouthful of white mist as his eyes turned sharp, he
clenched his fist and caused the light ball to explode.

As the light ball exploded, a pillar dyed in a scarlet red that looked like flames
soared into the sky from his palm.

At the same time, the remaining seven teams crushed their light balls and along
with that, seven light pillars soared.

All the gazes in this region were nervously directed at them.

Chapter 603 - Battle of the Best 8
Eight dazzling pillars of light soared into the horizon that looked to have even
pierced through the layers of clouds, clearly seen within a radius of a hundred
miles.

Eight pillars colored in red, green, black and yellow. The sight of the eight
pillars intertwining was extremely spectacular.

Everyone’s eyes were fixed to the eight pillars of light as waves of uproars burst
out with dense expectation contained in their voices.

Mu Chen had also directed his gaze at the sky following the uproar. His eyes were
fixed onto the other red light and slowly moved his gaze along it and stopped at a
team donned in green robes.

The Captain of that particular team, Liu Qingyun stood with his hand behind his
back as his gaze was also staring at Mu Chen and his team.

Their opponent was the team from the Azure Sky Spiritual Academy.

Haaaaaah.

Shen Cangsheng and the rest of the team inwardly felt relieved. It was a miracle
that they did not encounter Wen Qingxuan, Wu Ling and the rest. After all, they had
a decent relationship with them, thus meeting them and having any one of them
eliminated wasn’t something that they wanted to see.

Speaking from a certain angle, the team from the Azure Sky Spiritual Academy was
part of Ji Xuan’s alliance and could be considered as their enemy. Now that they
were facing off, it was a good time to teach them a lesson.

They were well-aware that Liu Qingyun helped Ji Xuan threaten Mu Chen. If it wasn’t
for the fact that the latter possessed a similar means, they might’ve been in a bad
situation.

Mu Chen shifted his gaze from Liu Qingyun’s team as he looked at the battle
allocation and was slightly stunned when he discovered that the opponent of Ji
Xuan’s team was the Undefeated Spiritual Academy, represented by Wen Busheng.

Amongst the Best 8, the Undefeated Spiritual Academy’s strength was probably the
weakest. Generally speaking, it was impossible for a Spiritual Academy of such
strength to get into the Best 8. However, Wen Busheng achieved this feat and no
matter what the results might be, he would still be the glory of their Undefeated
Spiritual Academy.

Mu Chen looked towards Wen Busheng. The latter’s expression was, as usual, he
wasn’t in dismay from the fact that he had such a thorny opponent like Ji Xuan as
his first opponent.

At this time, there was no way Mu Chen could help him, except to cheer for him in
his heart.

Wen Qingxuan’s opponent was the Nine Cauldrons Spiritual Academy led by Fang Yun,
who was once defeated by Luo Li.

The last group made Mu Chen feel a little surprised since it was between Wu Ling of
the Martial Spiritual Academy and Xue Tianhe of the Blood God Academy.

Mu Chen did not have any favorable feelings for Xue Tianhe and he even had a hint
of killing intent for the latter, since the latter was clearly aiming for Luo Li.

As a person, Xue Tianhe was rather crafty, since he had never revealed his true
strength in the elimination round. But, even so, his strength was well-proven by
the fact that he could still make it into the Best 8.

Likewise, Wu Ling wasn’t someone to mess with. Similar to Xue Tianhe, he had also
concealed his strength in the elimination round, since he had never thoroughly
displayed his strength.

Right now, the two fellows who had deeply concealed their strengths were allocated
to face off against each other. Just thinking about it, the outcome of that battle
must be a little confusing.

“What luck… meeting Ji Xuan in the first round.” The teammate standing at the rear
of Wen Busheng spoke with a bitter expression.

“We have already profited from the fact that we made it to the best 8.” Wen Busheng
smiled as he fixed his gaze on Ji Xuan. There wasn’t a hint of fear in his eyes; on
the contrary, there was a blazing fighting intent surging within.

“We just need to do our best. It wasn’t easy for us to make it this far. So, at the
very least, we should fight for the honor for our Undefeated Spiritual Academy.”

Seeing how unperturbed Wen Busheng was, the emotions of his teammates calmed down
as they grinned. Indeed, it was already out of everyone’s expectations with the
fact that they could make it to the Best 8. So it didn’t matter if they win or
lose, they just needed to give their best, since there was nothing to lose.

“Good, let us experience how powerful the team representing the Saint Spiritual
Academy is!”

“An opponent defeated by Luo Li.”

Wen Qingxuan leisurely shot a glance at Fang Yun’s team as she lightly flung her
mouth aside as she spoke to the four flowers standing behind her, “Don’t lose my
face. If you guys lose, hmph, don’t blame me for being ruthless when we return to
the Myriad Phoenix Spiritual Academy!”

She clenched her fists, but when she made the malicious expression with her
charming face, it was exceptionally lovable and gorgeous instead; there wasn’t any
threat coming from her at all.

“Hehe, we got it.” Hearing her words, Le’er, Pin’er and the rest showed lovely
smiles. Their smiles were like flowers as they shook the hearts of others.

But when Fang Yun’s team saw their response to the results, they bitterly smiled
inwardly. Even Fang Yun’s face wasn’t too good as he had also felt the pressure of
facing Wen Qingxuan as an opponent.

“The Blood God Academy…”

Mu Ling narrowed his eyes as he looked at the team dressed in blood-red long robes
and at the face that was as delicate as a girl as he muttered. Not knowing why he
felt a faint danger from Xue Tianhe.

“Those fellows don’t seem that simple.” Wu Yingying said with a heavy expression
behind Wu Ling. At this time, their team had been reorganized at the last moment
and thus, this was the reason why Wu Yingying was here together with them.

Wu Ling nodded his head as he lightly flicked his ten fingers and replied with a
calm expression on his face, “Leave Xue Tianhe to me, you guys steadily bring out
your abilities and try not to make any mistakes.”

Wu Yingying and the other three nodded their heads at his words.

While the eight teams were secretly examining their opponents on the Golden Battle
Stairs, all sorts of whispers came from the students of the various academies
outside the Golden Battle Stage. However, none of them could easily come to a
conclusion.

Although the Best 8 were ranked, everyone was clear that it was just the
elimination round. Thus, it was impossible for every single team to display all of
their powers in that round, which simply meant that the Numero Uno of the
elimination round might not end up as the Champion.

It wasn’t a rare scene that the Rank 8 of the elimination round would end up
flipping the situation around and seized the Championship.

But, regardless, this Final Battle would definitely be absolutely interesting.

Nearly everyone was curious which of the eight teams would end up in the Best 4.

When the Five Great Deans saw the allocation in the sky, they each had a different
expression on their faces; but there wasn’t any worry written on their faces since
they were clearly confident in the teams that represented their academies.

“Since the allocation is done, the eight teams can respectively stand on their
stage.”

Dean Tian Sheng’s faint voice rang out as he waved his hand, splitting the colossal
Golden Battle Stage beneath him into four smaller Golden Battle Stages.

Every single stage was further separated into five pieces as the stage became
covered in golden light, making it look like it was made from gold; looking
extremely tough.

“The battle for the Best 4 will be regulated in points of seven. Every team member
that loses will lose a point and three for the Captains, a total of seven points.
The team with the most points between the two will have the qualifications to
ascend to the Best 4.”

“Seven points… the Captains are actually worth three points.”

Mu Chen was a little startled. A total of seven points and the Captains alone would
hold nearly half of them. Thus, the importance of the Captain could be seen.
Technically, as long as a team managed to defeat the Captain, their victory would
be nearly secured, unless the four other team members were defeated.

“Are you all clear?” Dean Tian Sheng overlooked from the sky as he spoke in a slow
manner.

The eight teams nodded their heads in acknowledgment.

“Since that’s the case, then go up to the stage.” Dean Tian Sheng waved his hand.

Rustle!

The eight teams flew out at the same time and with several flickers, they landed on
one of the four respective colossal Golden Battle Stages under the countless
excited gazes.

Mu Chen’s group of five appeared on the utmost left Golden Battle Stage.

“Leave Liu Qingyun to me.” Mu Chen said as he looked at the rest.

Their team was reorganized and, thus, the formation of their team wasn’t any weaker
than any of the other teams. In fact, with Luo Li, they were a little stronger.
However, due to the seven points rule, especially since the Captains were worth
more points, there was an element of uncertainness in this. The moment the Captains
were defeated, it was basically a loss for that team.

Thus, Mu Chen had to deal with the strongest of the opposing team, Liu Qingyun, by
himself. Despite understanding that Liu Qingyun wasn’t an easy opponent, he still
wouldn’t fear any opponent at this point in time.

“Be careful.” Luo Li nodded her head as she warned. Liu Qingyun wasn’t an easy
opponent and was a genius from the Wind Spirit Clan. It was definitely not easy to
deal with a race that had such a long history.

Mu Chen nodded his head in response.

When Luo Li and the other three saw his reaction, they no longer spoke as they
moved to the four other battle stages.

Mu Chen stood on the colossal Golden Battle Stage, alone, with a multitude of sky-
shattering cheers bellowing in waves outside the stage.

Whoooooosh!

Screeches of wind rang out as an azure figure mysteriously appeared on this vast
Golden Battle Stage. Liu Qingyun stood with his hands behind his back as he shot an
indifferent expression over as a faint smile was shown on his face.

“Mu Chen, I am here to halt your steps.”

Chapter 604 - Fighting Liu Qingyun
“Mu Chen, I have come to halt your steps.” When Liu Qingyun spoke, an apathetic
light shot from his eyes as he maintained an indifferent expression on his face.

Perhaps no one would find it inappropriate for Liu Qingyun to speak of such words
since he did have the capability to back those words up. Although Mu Chen was the
Numero Uno for the Elimination Round, everyone knew that the Final Battle and the
Elimination Round were entirely different. All eight teams possessed peak-leveled
strengths and every single one of the eight Captains wasn’t people to be trifled
with.

No one could be guaranteed a hundred percent victory in this kind of battle since
the slightest mistake they made would have them ended up as a stepping stone for
their opponent.
Mu Chen smiled as he heard Liu Qingyun’s words and clenched his fist, following
with the appearance of his Devouring Dragon Demonic Spear. A surge of Baleful Aura
was unleashed from him as he slowly lifted his spear, pointing the tip of it
towards Liu Qingyun.

“Then, we’ll have to see if Captain Liu is capable to achieve that.” Mu Chen
lightly smiled. There weren’t any ripples in his voice and showed no signs of being
enraged by Liu Qingyun’s words. His heart was as calm as an abyssal pool.

Liu Qingyun narrowed his eyes as the indifference on his face faded a little. He
wasn’t stupid and he had witnessed the fight between Mu Chen and Ji Xuan. Thus, he
had a little fear towards Mu Chen, since the latter’s strength could be seen as
evenly matched to his.

The reason why he provoked Mu Chen was to attempt to break his calm since the
slightest mistake made in this battle could make an entirely different result.

However, it was a pity that his small tactics weren’t useful.

“What a difficult opponent.”

Liu Qingyun smiled indifferently as his heart gradually calmed down. Whirling wind
blew with the clench of his fist as the appearance of an azure light was rapidly
gathering in his palm.

Rustle!

The azure light condensed into a halberd that was flickering in a similar azure
luster in the hands of Liu Qingyun. As the halberd appeared, visible wind could be
seen gathering around him.

The tip of the halberd was constantly devouring the violent wind, sweeping up a
gale at the tip of his halberd. Even the surrounding space had fine trembles to it.

The might emitted from the halberd of azure light was even more ferocious compared
to the Devouring Dragon Demonic Spear in Mu Chen’s hand.

Mu Chen’s gaze flickered when he saw that the astonishing fluctuations emitting
from Liu Qingyun’s halberd weren’t something a Spiritual Artifact could possess.

Mu Chen slowly inhaled a mouthful of air as a sharpened luster rose in his black
pupils.

Longspear versus halberd.

The confrontation between those two was equal in comparison!

As the atmosphere between Mu Chen and Liu Qingyun seemed like daggers being drawn,
ripples of Spiritual Energy were being unleashed from the other battle stages as
mighty Spiritual Energy pressures were starting to spread out.

Outside the battle stage, students from the various Spiritual Academies held their
breaths as they watched the battles. Unconcealable excitement rose in their hearts
as the battle of the Best 8 would soon begin.

No one could be certain which team would emerge into the Best 4.
Dong!

A clear and sharp bell rang out as it resonated between the heavens and earth.

The instant the bell rang, the gaze of Mu Chen and Liu Qingyun grew sharp and,
along with it, gales of powerful Spiritual Energy swept out from the two of them.

Rustle!

The two silhouettes stomped on the ground as their figures flew out like specters.
Everyone could only see their blurry figures and, in the next instant, the two
figures clashed in the colossal Golden Battle Stage.

Tsssssssshiii!

The Devouring Dragon Demonic Spear furiously stabbed forth, enveloped in a Baleful
Aura. It was like a ferocious beast pouncing on its prey. Under the powerful
Spiritual Energy, the gale pierced through the atmosphere.

On the opposite, the halberd lit in the azure light carried along the wind, and the
tip of the halberd was flickering with ancient runes, giving a tint of mystery to
it.

Ding!

The tips of the long spear and halberd clashed with great precision, creating
sparks and visible ripples of Spiritual Energy that swept out. In an instant, they
caused explosions in the surroundings.

“Pretty good spear you have there.”

Looking at the Devouring Dragon Demonic Spear held in Mu Chen’s hand, Liu Qingyun
lightly smiled as the corner of his lips rose. “But, it’s a pity. You shouldn’t
have clashed with me.”

“Divine Wind Halberd - Howling Winds!”

A deep roar thundered from Liu Qingyun as the runes on the tip of his Divine Wind
Halberd flickered, creating a substantial gale as it swept out. The great power
behind it forced Mu Chen to take a dozen steps back.

“Wind Thrust!”

As Mu Chen moved back, Liu Qingyun looked as if he was one with the wind as he
pounced at rapid speed. The illusions of the halberd that filled the sky integrated
into the wind and soundlessly aimed for all the vital points on Mu Chen.

Liu Qingyun’s attacks were sharp and ferocious, without the slightest bit of
sloppiness.

Mu Chen’s gaze grew heavy as he rapidly vibrated his arm, causing the Devouring
Dragon Demonic Spear to sharply whistle as it turned into countless illusions of
spears and shot forward, spreading throughout the space before him.

Ding ding dang dang!

Countless illusions of spears and halberds furiously clashed and each time they
clashed, an ear-piercing noise rang out along with it as sparks blossomed. Although
the sight of it was beautiful, the danger held in it was fatal.
Anyone could tell that neither Mu Chen nor Liu Qingyun held back in their attacks.
Even if a Spirit Disaster expert were to be trapped in their attacks, that expert
would probably be instantly pierced by them.

In that short instant, the illusions of spears and halberds had already undergone
thousands of clashes, the speed of them simply made everyone else dumbfound.

However, those with exceptionally keen eyes had their brows furrowed together as
they realized that with each clash, Mu Chen’s attacks were progressively being
suppressed.

Accurately speaking, it could be perhaps the Spiritual Aura that was emitting the
Baleful Aura in Mu Chen’s hand being suppressed by Liu Qingyun’s halberd.

Dang!

Radiant azure light burst forth from the halberd illusions that abruptly filled the
sky and a thirty meter-sized storm shot forth. It was like a hurricane as it sped
towards Mu Chen.

The gaze of Mu Chen flickered as the Devouring Dragon Demonic Spear in his hands
exploded in a scarlet blood-like luster. That surge of Baleful Aura was
strengthened to the limits as a blood river swept out.

Boom!

The two attacks ferociously clashed, but at the moment of contact, the blood river
collapsed as it was torn apart by the hurricane. Along with that, Mu Chen was also
pushed back over a hundred meters.

Rustle!

It was a scene of a complete uproar outside the stage. No one imagined that the
Numero Uno of the rankings, Mu Chen, would be suppressed by Liu Qingyun in the
first round of their confrontation.

“How is Liu Qingyun so powerful?” Countless students of the Northern Heavens

Spiritual Academy were exchanging looks, even the faces of Ye Qingling, Su Ling’er,
and Yu Xi were filled with astonishment.

“Mu Chen’s weapon was too weak.” Ling Xi spoke with an indifferent voice.

With her keen eyes, she could naturally tell that the halberd in Liu Qingyun’s
hands that could beckon winds was a Quasi-Divine Artifact, whereas Mu Chen’s
Devouring Dragon Demonic Spear was only a Peerless Rank Spiritual Artifact.

In the confrontation of such a level, the perks from a Quasi-Divine Artifact

weren’t insignificant enough to neglect.

“What’s there that can be done?” Sun’er spoke with a worried tone.

“What are you being anxious for? The show has just started.” Ling Xi lightly smiled
as she patted Sun’er’s tiny head. Her gaze, however, was directed at the slender
silhouette on the stage.

Standing on the Golden Battle Stage, Mu Chen gave a glance at the Devouring Dragon
Demonic Spear. It had been dulled and the Baleful Aura on it had also weakened.
Evidently, it was damaged from their earlier confrontation.
Liu Qingyun lightly readjusted his halberd as he gave Mu Chen a smile. “Looks like
I have the advantage this time.”

Finishing his speech, he flew up into the air as boundless Spiritual Energy swept
forth from his body as he poured an earth-shattering amount of Spiritual Energy
into his Divine Wind Halberd.

Buzzzz buzzzzzzz.

Hundreds of storms were seen forming behind Liu Qingyun, it was like a wind dragon
issuing its roar, displaying its desire to rip the heavens and earth apart.

“Divine Wind Halberd - Sky Devouring Wind Dragon!”

Liu Qingyun’s gaze was cold as the halberd flew out of his hand, engulfed in azure
light as it absorbed the storms and shaped them into a colossal wind dragon of
about three hundred meters.

The wind dragon looked extremely realistic, with detailed scales that covered its
colossal body and whirling hurricanes from its roar. Its savage appearance made the
color of countless others change.

What was most shocking was the fact that there was a Dragon Aura being emitted from
the Wind Dragon. Clearly, the reason behind it should be the Divine Wind Halberd,
since the Blood Essence of the Dragon Clan must have been added during its forging.

“Go!”

Liu Qingyun stood midair as he pointed his finger down with a gaze covered in
chill.

ROAAAAAAAAAAAAAAR!

The azure Wind Dragon roared as its body flashed, the speed of it was unfathomable
as a huge shadow had already descended upon Mu Chen.

A violent hurricane that looked as if it could tear apart the heavens and earth
caused a distortion in the space around the stage.

Everyone’s hearts trembled from the sight of Liu Qingyun’s absolutely shocking
attack. Is this the Finals? It is truly a tournament that only those extraordinary
people could participate…

Would Mu Chen be able to hang on?

Every single gaze was looking at the tiny figure that was shrouded by the huge
shadow of the Wind Dragon.

Under the countless gazes, Mu Chen raised his head as he looked at the incoming
Wind Dragon. He deeply inhaled a mouthful of air as his gaze gradually turned cold.

“Quasi-Divine Artifact?”

He muttered as he formed seals with his hands in the next instant. A scarlet light
swept out from the depths of his black pupils.

Buzzzz!
A sound like a roar of a detestable demon from the primordial resounded between the
heavens and earth, everyone could see a black ray of light soaring into the skies
from Mu Chen’s head.

In the black pillar of light, an enormous demonic pillar soared. Mu Chen took a
step forth as he hugged the air, looking as if he was embracing the heavens and
earth. Lightning flickered on his arms and his veins were wiggling like earthworms.

“Since the demonic spear doesn’t work, let’s try and see if my demonic pillar can
suppress you!”

The demonic pillar, which was emitting an abyss amount of Baleful Aura, swept down
at this instant. The Baleful Aura from the Devouring Dragon Demonic Spear paled in
comparison to this pillar.

At this instant, everyone had widened their eyes bit by bit.

The black-colored demonic pillar fell as it heavily struck against the Wind Dragon
that was whistling over in its direction!
Chapter 605 - Divine Wind Image
The black demonic pillar brandished down, issuing a sound that sounded like a Demon
Dragon’s roar. Along with a terrifying power that even the heavens and earth could
not withstand, it heavily struck against the body of the incoming Wind Dragon.

Dong!

In that instant of collision, a deep ear-piercing sound rang across the horizon.
Thereafter, it carried along a violent wind as it wreaked havoc. Fine cracks began
to appear on the Golden Battle Stage that seemed to be forged from gold.

Clearly, the Battle Stage was forged with a special material that made it extremely
firm. Even if a Spirit Disaster expert were to attack the stage with their full
power, it would still be tough to damage it. But right now, the confrontation
between Mu Chen and Liu Qingyun created cracks on that very same stage. Thus, one
could infer how powerful the impact was.

ROAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAR!

A dreadful gale wreaked havoc as the azure Wind Dragon issued a mournful roar, it’s
radiant azure eyes were being suppressed by the black light at this instant.

Faint changes occurred on Liu Qingyun’s face as well.

Bang!

Mu Chen maintained a calm expression with his gesture of embracing the air as if he
was hugging the colossal Great Meru Demonic Pillar as it swung it down once again.
As the demonic pillar was brandished down, it caused explosions in the space.

Boom!

The azure Wind Dragon finally could not withstand the dreadful power of the demonic
pillar as it was sent flying away, the azure light flickered as the dragon
exploded. An azure light shot back as it fell into Liu Qingyun’s hands, returning
back to the form of a halberd.

Liu Qingyun firmly grasps onto the Divine Wind Halberd, but the power behind it had
made him take several steps back before he could suppress the impact with his
Spiritual Energy.
Lowering his head, he saw the Divine Wind Halberd shrouded in traces of a Baleful
Aura. The Baleful Aura was exceptionally violent as if it was eroding the halberd
in his hands.

“Hmph.”

Liu Qingyun made a cold snort as he poured the Spiritual Energy in his body into it
in waves. The body of the halberd trembled as it dissipated the eroding Baleful
Aura. Liu Qingyun raised his head and saw Mu Chen standing still on his original
spot with the colossal demonic pillar hovering above his head as the Baleful Aura
was endlessly emitting from the demonic pillar, almost like a pillar of the demonic
gods.

“What a good Ominous Artifact.” The Deans of various Spiritual Academies in midair
were startled in their hearts. They could naturally sense the astonishing Baleful
Aura coming from the Great Meru Demonic Pillar. Clearly, it had a history behind
it. The ancient boundless feeling that it was giving off was definitely not
something that an ordinary Divine Artifact could rival against.

However, the Great Meru Demonic Pillar seemed to be in a sealed state at the
moment. Otherwise, the Quasi-Divine Artifact of Liu Qingyun, the Divine Wind
Halberd would definitely be gravely corroded by it.

Outside the Battle Stage, countless students were filled with astonishment. No
wonder Mu Chen could rise above others amongst the countless Spiritual Academies
and stand in the Best 8, he truly was terrifying. Such a confrontation could
already be considered as the peak amongst those in their age.

“No wonder even Ji Xuan has fears against you…”

On the Battle Stage, Liu Qingyun looked at Mu Chen with a cold piercing gaze. He
tightened his grip on the Divine Wind Halberd as his expression turned grave, he
knew that if he wanted to defeat Mu Chen, he could no longer hold back any of his
strength.

Haaaaaah.

Liu Qingyun inhaled a deep mouthful of chilled air as his eyes gradually turned
jade-green as an azure-colored Spiritual Energy swept out in waves, engulfing the
heavens and earth in an instant.

Azure Spiritual Energy covered the skies, along with faint ripples that looked like
steam that was quietly residing in midair. But, despite how quiet it was, those
students with keen eyes had their faces changed.

They sensed a skin-chilling fluctuation spreading out in the sky.

Everyone felt the Spiritual Energy pressure as they lightly smacked their lips, the
power of his Spiritual Energy had already gone through Third Grade Spirit Disaster.
Liu Qingyun was indeed powerful.

“Mu Chen, you’re truly not bad.”

Liu Qingyun’s figure slowly rose into the sky as he became shrouded within the
boundless azure Spiritual Energy. His jade-green pupils looked as if there were
tornadoes forming in them as he stared at Mu Chen.
“Thus, to show that I am taking you seriously, I will use the strength of our Wind
Spirit Clan to defeat you.”

Mu Chen’s black pupils were staring at Liu Qingyun as well. He naturally sensed the
piercing ripples fluctuating behind the latter as his Spiritual Energy felt as
sharp as a blade, spreading to every corner of this space.

The Spiritual Energy that Liu Qingyun obtained from his cultivation was different,
to some extent, when compared to ordinary Spiritual Energy. The power behind his
Spiritual Energy was stronger, which showed that the Spiritual Art that he had
cultivated it wasn’t a simple one.

“This must be the Wind Spiritual Energy of the Wind Spirit Clan… rumor has it that
only those who belong to the Wind Spirit Clan can cultivate it. The attacking power
of it is extremely powerful and it isn’t something ordinary Spiritual Energy can
resist.” A few Deans slightly nodded their heads in the air. Generally speaking,
only after stepping into the Sovereign Realm, would one experience changes in
Spiritual Energy. Prior to that, the majority of the Spiritual Energy was similar,
unless they had cultivated a special cultivating technique, but those were secrets
that belonged to those mighty clans that ordinary people wouldn’t know about.

Thus, if ordinary people were to confront those belonging to those clans, they
would definitely be at a disadvantage in terms of Spiritual Energy confrontation.

For ordinary Spiritual Energy, in order to hold the advantage, they would have to
fork out Spiritual Energy that was several times more in order to achieve such an
unusual Spiritual Energy suppression.

“The special Spiritual Energy of the Wind Spirit Clan…”

Mu Chen muttered to himself as he narrowed his eyes. His hands started to form
peculiar seals, the seals of the Great Pagoda Art.

The Great Pagoda Art was a mysterious cultivating technique left behind by his
mother. It was extremely profound to the point that Mu Chen still couldn’t
completely comprehend it. However, the Spiritual Energy produced from the Great
Pagoda Art was remarkable.

Since Liu Qingyun intended to compete with Spiritual Energy, then Mu Chen wouldn't
mind giving it a try and compare, the Wind Spirit Clan’s Wind Spiritual Energy and
his Great Pagoda Art, which was more superior.

Boom!

A black and white mix of Spiritual Energy swept out from Mu Chen’s body as he
finished his hand seals. The black and white Spiritual Energy whistled through the
heavens and earth as they mixed together, similar to the fusion of Yin and Yang.

Compared to Liu Qingyun’s piercing Wind Spiritual Energy, the Great Pagoda
Spiritual Energy didn’t show too many offensive characteristics. However, as it
whistled, a surge of profundity started to spread out.

“He’s going to use the Great Pagoda Art?” When Ling Xi saw that scene, her eyes lit
up. Ever since she passed the Yin Scroll of the Great Pagoda Art to Mu Chen, she
had never seen him execute the completed Great Pagoda Art.

Although she knew that the Wind Spirit Clan was a considerable clan, even amongst
those in the Great Thousand World, compared to the primordial clan behind Aunt
Jing, it paled into insignificance in comparison.
In midair, when Liu Qingyun saw the majestic black and white Spiritual Energy
behind Mu Chen, he slightly narrowed his eyes. Although the latter’s Spiritual
Energy didn’t seem too special, he vaguely felt an abnormal fluctuation coming from
it.

“The Spiritual Energy cultivated by Mu Chen doesn’t seem like the ordinary ones?”

When that thought flashed through Liu Qingyun’s mind, he quickly suppressed that
thought. He couldn’t afford to have his mind wandering around at this moment as he
refused the believe that Mu Chen could resist the Wind Spiritual Energy of their
Wind Spirit Clan!

“No matter what other means you have, I will definitely emerge victorious in this
battle!”

Liu Qingyun spoke in a deep voice. In the battle between their two teams, his match
here was the crucial one as Mu Chen’s team still had Luo Li and she would
definitely win her match. Perhaps the others might not be able to achieve results
like her, there wasn’t a high chance in their victory. The ones called Shen
Cangsheng and Li Xuantong were very powerful as well. Thus, unless he was capable
of defeating Mu Chen, it was basically impossible for their team to get into the
Best 4.

He definitely had to win this battle!

Liu Qingyun’s gaze grew heavy as he spat a mouthful of white mist from his mouth,
and formed seals with both of his hands. He couldn’t afford to hold himself back,
even in the slightest!

“Mu Chen, if you are truly capable, then try to receive this attack of mine!”

Liu Qingyun rapidly formed his seals and at this instant, the torrential azure
Spiritual Energy swept out, turning into countless rays of light as it turned into
a colossi-complicated rune with the size of a few thousand meters up in the sky.
From the looks of it, those runes appeared to be a Spiritual Array, but at the same
time, there weren’t any ripples of a Spiritual Array.

Hoooooooof Phoooooooof.

A mouthful of Blood Essence was spewed from Liu Qingyun’s mouth as it went into the
colossal light array.

“Divine Wind Art - Requesting Image of the Wind Ancestor!”

Liu Qingyun’s expression was grave as he kowtowed towards the light array.

Buzzzzz Buzzzzzzzz

As Liu Qingyun kowtowed, violent winds started to sweep between the heavens and
earth as everyone was startled to see gigantic tornadoes forming, they were
wreaking havoc between the heavens and earth, emitting fearsome destructive powers
at the same time.

Mu Chen’s gaze was fixed onto the colossal light array as an azure light suddenly
soared into the skies. Within the azure light, a huge azure light image slowly took
form.

The instant that azure light image appeared, an indescribable pressure started to
spread throughout the heavens and earth.

Some Deans in midair had their faces uncontrollably changed as they nervously
stared at the azure light figure as their gazes fluctuated, along with mutters from
their mouths. “To actually be able to summon the Ancestor of the Wind Spirit Clan,
the Wind Ancestor’s Spiritual Image, out… that kid from the Northern Heavens
Spiritual Academy is in trouble.”
Chapter 606 - Battle of the Captains
The vast space was radiating with golden light as terrifying Spiritual Energy
ripples swept out in waves from the colossal Golden Battle Stage.

Silhouettes flickered on the Golden Stage as fearsome impacts exploded from every
confrontation.

The eight teams were undergoing intense battles.

Only by giving their all, would they rise above the Best 8.

Amongst the eight teams, the most attractive battles were the battles between the
Captains as everyone knew that in the seven points battle, the victory of the match
would be more or less decided with the results of the Captains’ battle.

The results of their Captains was the crucial turning point for every team.

Thus, the one that attracted the most attention was the battle between the
Captains, even the Deans of the various Spiritual Academies were nodding their
heads as they watched the battles.

Violent Spiritual Energy impacts were constantly exploding from the battle between
the Captains. Aside from the battle between Mu Chen and Liu Qingyun, Ji Xuan and
Wen Busheng, as well as the battle between Wu Ling and Xue Tianhe, attracted the
most attention.

As for the battle between Wen Qingxuan and Fang Yun, it was rather easy, generally
speaking. Fang Yun could be considered the weakest amongst the eight Captains.
After all, he relied on a Low-Rank Divine Artifact to boost his fighting power. But
what a pity, the opponent he encountered wasn’t any weaker than Luo Li.

Thus, despite Fang Yun utilizing his Dragon-Tiger Cauldron, he was still thoroughly
suppressed by Wen Qingxuan. That figure, who was holding onto a golden long spear,
was like a goddess, her attacks were like torrential waves as they came in layers
upon layers. At the same time, the Dragon-Tiger Cauldron was constantly shifting
backward from the impact.

According to this situation, it was just a matter of time before Fang Yun was
defeated by Wen Qingxuan.

While it was evident who held the upper hand in Wen Qingxuan’s battle, the other
two Battle Stages was still a stalemate, especially the battle between Wu Ling and
Xue Tianhe.

The both of them had fully exploded their strength without the slightest restraint.
The Spiritual Energy fluctuation being emitted from them had clearly undergone the
Third Grade Spiritual Disaster, having only the last step left to step into the
Sovereign Realm.

Blood-red Spiritual Energy whistled out in every movement of Xue Tianhe, it was
like a river of blood that pierced the heavens, rumbling in the skies as it made
attacks towards Wu Ling.
Wu Ling held a black rod as the black light was being emitted from the surface of
his body. His handsome looks now seemed like it was forged from metal. Clearly, he
had also cultivated his physique to a considerable level.

Thus, when facing the rumbling blood river, he only made a sweep with his rod,
which caused the space to distort and a surge with a dreadful power that shattered
the blood river, causing blood light to rain down.

Their battle was the most erratic as they unleashed an attack upon an attack
against one another without the slightest thought of defending. Cheers roared from
their heart-racing battle.

But, generally speaking, their battle was locked in a stalemate.

The next most attracting battle would be the one between Ji Xuan and Wen Busheng.

It was a battle with unequal fame, since Ji Xuan’s name rang throughout the various
Spiritual Academies, whereas no one knew of Wen Busheng’s name nor even the
overbearing name of the academy behind him, the Undefeated Spiritual Academy. In
fact, it was a nameless Spiritual Academy that many people had not heard of before.

Thus, they predicted that Wen Busheng would quickly lose to Ji Xuan. However, the
truth made them a little dumbfounded as Wen Busheng was able to resist against Ji
Xuan’s attacks.

Furthermore, he relied on his palm to confront the piercing spear in Ji Xuan’s

hands.

This scene made many others startled as they now understood the reason why the
Undefeated Academy’s team was able to rise into the Best 8.

This youth that seemed ordinary was, in fact, not. Looks like it didn’t matter how
small the Spiritual Academy was, it was just a matter of time before a genius
emerged.

However, although Wen Busheng didn’t look to be falling behind from Ji Xuan’s
attacks, those Deans of the various Spiritual Academies could tell that Wen
Busheng’s attacks were gradually being suppressed by Ji Xuan.

Whoooosh!

A light spear pierced the space as a sun seemed to be appearing on the speartip.
The Spiritual Energy was so violent, it looked like it could shatter space.

That ray of spear light shot forth against Wen Busheng.

Faced with the increasingly sharp attacks from Ji Xuan, the facial expression on
Wen Busheng turned a little heavier. His right palm emitted a radiant white light,
appearing to be made of a jade-stone as he pushed his palm forth.

Ding!

The spear and palm clashed, creating a metallic collision sound that spread out. A
massive visible shock wave exploded, destroying the ground beneath those two.

Ji Xuan’s figure jolted, whereas Wen Busheng was sent back several steps, every
single one of his steps left deep footprints on the ground.
Rustle!

The long spear in Ji Xuan’s hand trembled as he gazed at Wen Busheng and spoke in a
faint voice, “If that’s all you got, then this is the end.”

As he spoke, his eyes turned increasingly sharp as the long spear in his hand
thrust into the ground, both of his hands were placed together as a brilliant
sacred light was emitted from his body. It was like a sun as it appeared behind
him.

An astonishing Spiritual Energy exploded like a volcano from his body, the strength
of his Spiritual Energy had nearly reached the pinnacle of Third Grade Spirit
Disaster.

Compared to the time he fought with Mu Chen, he seemed to have grown stronger.

Wen Busheng sensed the dangerous aura coming from Ji Xuan and knew that the latter
no longer intended to waste any more time, he inhaled a deep breath as he slowly
extended his right hand forth.

His right hand was exceptionally slender and fair, and as it sparkled, it looked
like it was crafted from jade-stone. At this instance, dark golden runes started to
spread out from his palm.

The golden runes flowed into his palm, almost like blood. In that short moment, his
right hand had already turned into a dark golden color as a peculiar pressure
spread out.

That bizarre pressure made the eyes of Ji Xuan shrink, he fixed his eyes on Wen
Busheng’s right palm as a smear of doubt flashed across his eyes.

“These ripples…”

The Deans up in the sky were looking over in astonishment, their faces were soon
replaced with shock as their eyes flickered.

“That lad from the Undefeated Spiritual Academy… he actually transplanted the hand
bone of a Sovereign expert? No wonder his right hand is so powerful…”

The colossal azure light array hovered in the sky as an extremely large azure light
Spiritual Image appeared on the light array, it was like a divine being that had
traveled here through space, looking down on the land from high above.

An indescribable pressure spread throughout the heavens and earth.

Countless gazes were filled with astonishment as they looked at the azure light
figure. The appearance of the light silhouette wasn’t clear, but the powerful
pressure that was emitting from it gave others an understanding of how powerful it
was.

“What is that?”

“After hearing Liu Qingyun’s words, it should be the Wind Ancestor of his Wind
Spirit Clan…”

“Wind Ancestor? The almighty being that founded the Wind Spirit Clan? Is he not
dead yet?”

“That naturally can’t be the real body of the Wind Ancestor, it should be a Secret
Art that Liu Qingyun executed from his Wind Spirit Clan and paired with his
bloodline, thus he could summon a Spiritual Image of it. But even so, the power
coming from it is extremely frightening.”

“Looks like Liu Qingyun is not going to waste any more time, he has even revealed
such a trump card…”

“…”

Fine whispers circulated amongst the countless students. Many had shock contained
in their voices as they were clearly startled by this move from Liu Qingyun. Not
even an expert that had gone through the Third Grade Spirit Disaster could resist
that large azure light Spiritual Image.

“To be able to walk this far and is not the slightest bit afraid of Mu Chen, who
was the Numero Uno of the Elimination Round, he truly does have his trump card.”

Many students in the Northern Heavens Spiritual Academy region had worries in their
eyes.

“This Liu Qingyun is indeed formidable.” Ye Qingling sighed, not a single one of
those Best 8 were easy to deal with. The Elimination Round was probably just a
warm-up for them and right now was the time for them to truly unleash their trump
cards and fight.

“Can Big Brother Mu Chen withstand it?” Yu Xi spoke in an anxious voice as she
clenched her fist.

Ye Qingling bitterly smiled as it was impossible for her to give an opinion on a

battle of this level. Right now, they could only see if Mu Chen possessed a similar
trump card as well.

“Although the Wind Ancestor’s Spiritual Image that Liu Qingyun summoned isn’t weak,
Mu Chen is not someone to be easily messed with.” Ling Xi lightly smiled as she
appeased their worries. The Wind Spirit Clan might be powerful, but Ling Xi didn’t
think that they could be stronger than the mysterious clan behind Aunt Jing, a clan
that even Aunt Jing feared would definitely not be an existence that the Wind
Spirit Clan could compete against.

Seeing the smile on Ling Xi’s face, Ye Qingling and the rest slightly felt
relieved, but their eyes were still fixed on the Golden Battle Stage.

Mu Chen’s black pupils were also fixed on the huge azure light Spiritual Image on
the stage.

“Mu Chen, if you can withstand this attack, I’ll admit my defeat!” Liu Qingyun
coldly looked at Mu Chen as his hand seals changed. The azure light Spiritual Image
strode forth as it sent a palm down, pressing towards Mu Chen.

Under that palm, the Spiritual Energy residing between the heavens and earth was
being dissipated, before that palm even land, a huge shadow already engulfed the
Battle Stage.

Mu Chen’s clothes stuck close to his body from the pressure as he looked at the
terrifying azure light Spiritual Image, he inhaled a deep breath as his expression
became solemn, and started to form seals with both of his hands.
Rumble.

As he formed the seals, the black and white Spiritual Energy behind him abruptly
whistled as it started to converge together at a rapid speed.

As the black and white Spiritual Energy started to converge, everyone could see a
three hundred meter black pagoda slowly taking form.

The colossal black pagoda stood towering in the sky as the surface of the
primordial pagoda looked as if there were golden dragon Spiritual Images coiling
around it. Vaguely, vast and ancient dragon roars rang out.

When the colossal black pagoda appeared, the corner of Dean Tai Cang’s lips
uncontrollably twitched, since he still clearly remembered how Mu Chen’s mother
used a black pagoda to refine the Yellow Dragon Sovereign…

And, right now, Mu Chen could also execute such a terrifying means?

However, can that black pagoda of his withstand the Wind Ancestor’s Spiritual Image
summoned by Liu Qingyun?
Chapter 607 - Black Pagoda Refines Spiritual Image
The black pagoda that formed behind Mu Chen attracted countless attention with the
eyes of many filled with shock. Judging from the might itself, the black pagoda
didn’t seem to be inferior to the Spiritual Image summoned by Liu Qingyun. Thus,
they were wondering if Mu Chen’s trump card could defeat Liu Qingyun’s.

Only certain Deans that were more powerful compared to others could vaguely sense
the peculiar fluctuations coming from the black pagoda as astonishment flashed
across their eyes as they inwardly nodded their heads. Looks like the confrontation
this time will be interesting.

Those two youths aren’t so simple.

When Liu Qingyun saw the black pagoda behind Mu Chen, he slightly narrowed his eyes
as he issued a cold snort. He believed that even Ji Xuan would have a hard time
dealing with this Spiritual Image that he had summoned, he refused to believe that
Mu Chen could withstand it!

“Let me see just how capable you are!”

Liu Qingyun coldly sneered as he changed his seals once again, the palm that was
approaching Mu Chen grew even more radiant as the terrifying Spiritual Energy
ripples created huge cracks on the firm Golden Battle Stage.

When Mu Chen raised his head and pierced through the space to the pressing energy,
although it was extremely violent, it was still unable to cause any harm to him
with his current physique.

What he needed to pay attention to was the azure light figure that was incoming.

Haaaaah.

A white mist slowly exited from Mu Chen’s mouth as his black pupils turned
exceptionally cold, like blades, and the seals that he was forming with his hands
also changed.

Buzzzzz!
The black pagoda behind him started to tremble as it issued buzzing noises, the
golden dragon patterns on the surface of the pagoda also shone more brilliantly.
Dragon roars resounded as a Golden Dragon separated from the pagoda. Sunlight shone
onto its body, reflecting the radiant luster off the golden scales.

The Golden Dragon faced the sky and issued a roar that trembled the skies and
turned into a ray of golden light that charged forth as it whipped its tail. A
realistic dragon pressure spread out, compared to the Wind Dragon what was created
by Liu Qingyun earlier, it was even more intense.

A bundle of golden light charged forth as it clashed against the azure light palm
that was pressing downwards under the countless viewers.

Boom!

The instant the two colossi clashed, golden and azure light turned into two
brilliant light rays as they swept out.

Beneath the brilliant color, it was an extremely ferocious clash between Spiritual
Energies.

At the point of the impact of the two attacks, space was drastically distorted.

“Liu Qingyun’s attack is being blocked!” someone exclaimed since the azure palm was
unable to land under the sweep of the golden light.

“Mu Chen truly does have some capability, no wonder he was the Numero Uno of the
Elimination Round.”

Up in the sky, seeing as his attack was being blocked, Liu Qingyun frowned his
brows as his hand seals changed again. In an instant, the brilliant azure light
exploded with a deep thunderous roar. The azure palm was like a meteorite as it
pushed downwards.

Boom! Boom!

The terrifying impacts wreaked havoc in the sky. What made everyone startled was
that no matter how ferocious the azure palm was, it could not break through the
golden light.

Liu Qingyun’s facial expression finally turned a little ugly.

“Since you’ve finished attacking, it’s my turn next.” Mu Chen faintly laughed as he
strode forth, his feet were heavily stomping on the ground as the black pagoda
behind him soared into the skies.

Whoooosh!

Under the countless gazes, the black pagoda descended from the horizon as the size
rapidly increased. In just a few breath’s time, the size was already a few hundred
feet in size as it enveloped the azure light image.

“Hmph!”

Liu Qingyun’s eyes grew gold at the sight of it as the azure light figure opened
its mouth. It was letting out a substantial sound wave, like a tornado, as it
charged towards the black pagoda.
There wasn’t the slightest trace of the black pagoda dodging the sound wave;
however, the bottom of the black pagoda was like a bottomless pit as it sucked the
sound waves in, it only created a burst of ripples before it perished.

“Get in!”

Mu Chen coldly barked as the black pagoda brought along a massive shadow,
enveloping the azure light image and sucked it into the pagoda under the countless
dumbfounded gazes.

“Sucking everything in, aren’t you afraid of overloading?!” Frost covered Liu
Qingyun’s face as his seals changed. Violent Spiritual Energy ripples burst out of
the light image as dreadful palm winds were rapidly smacking against the wall of
the pagoda.

Boom! Boom!

A heavy voice constantly resounded as fine trembles were displayed from the black
pagoda.

“Its appetite is too huge and your capability is too puny. Do you want to overload
it? Fat chance.” Mu Chen smiled, but there wasn’t much of a smiling expression in
his eyes. He sat down on mid-air and started to form hand seals.

“Great Pagoda Art - Flames of Pagoda Refines the Heavens and Earth!”

Along with Mu Chen’s hand seals constantly changing, he slowly closed his eyes and
a solemn bark rang out from his heart.

Roar!

When Mu Chen barked in his heart, an earth-shattering dragon roar resounded from
the pagoda, everyone witnessed three Golden Dragons from the first to the third
layer of the black pagoda that looked to have been resurrected. The dragons flew
into the body of the pagoda and transformed, they started to blaze with golden
flames.

The golden flames whistled in the pagoda. These golden flames were similar to the
ones his mother had used to refine the Yellow Dragon Sovereign, the only difference
was the size.

After all, when Mu Chen’s mother had executed it back then, there were hundreds of
Golden Dragons transforming into pagoda flames. It was still far from possible for
Mu Chen to achieve what she did.

However, it was more than sufficient to deal with Liu Qingyun.

As the golden flames appeared, the azure Spiritual Image in the pagoda turned stiff
for a moment, as if it had sensed a fatal danger and the colossal body condensed a
little more.

Outside, Liu Qingyun had a heavy expression on his face as he had clearly felt that
threat as well.

“Go.”

Mu Chen paid no attention and pointed with his finger when the golden flames rushed
in, they had instantly engulfed the azure light image.
The brilliant azure light was like a tidal wave as it swept out of the azure
figure, forming a defense as it withstood the terrifying refinery process of the
golden flames.

Tsssssssssss ssssssssssiiii!

When the two opposing forces came into contact, the azure light image was being
dissolved at a rapid speed. The destructive power of the golden flames was simply
frightening beyond expectations.

Through the pagoda, everyone could witness the scene as they felt a chill in their
hearts in that instant. How could those golden flames be so dreadful? Even the
Spiritual Image summoned by Liu Qingyun cannot withstand it?

In midair, Liu Qingyun’s face was ashen. However, he managed to calm his agitated
heart in the next moment as he glanced at Mu Chen with a cold gaze, he sucked in a
mouthful of air as he pointed his finger. Then, some dark-red blood appeared on his
finger.

Rustle! Rustle!

His fingertips were dancing in the air as the blood formed into a blood-red ancient
rune before him.

Shhhhhhiii!

The moment the rune appeared, it assimilated into the space and at the same time,
the body of the azure light image inside the pagoda jolted. The azure light started
to turn denser and denser, the facial features of it also became clearer.

Faintly, there was an astonishing might spreading out.

“Liu Qingyun does have some means, to be able to summon his Spiritual Image to such
a level.” Several Deans praised as they nodded their heads at that scene.

Clearly, the clearer the appearance, the Spiritual Image that was summoned by Liu
Qingyun would be even more powerful. Once it was cultivated to the limits, the
power of the Spiritual Image summoned by it could be comparable to the genuine
Spiritual Image of the Wind Ancestor.

The azure light around the light image grew deeper and, at the same time, more
refined. As the azure light surged, it was able to withstand those golden flames.

Tsssssssssssssssssssii.

Two terrifying powers were eroding one another. Although the golden flames had the
initiative, it was certainly not as violent as before. If this went on, Mu Chen’s
Spiritual Energy might not be able to hold out for much longer; after all, he was
in a disadvantage in terms of Spiritual Energy, compared to Liu Qingyun, who had
gone through the Third Grade Spirit Disaster.

Countless gazes were nervously staring in their direction since they knew that the
battle between Mu Chen and Liu Qingyun had reached the climax. The moment one of
them fell to the disadvantage, the results would be determined.

Under the countless gazes, Mu Chen slowly opened his eyes as he stared at the
pagoda. His expression was exceptionally calm as he formed seals with both of his
hands again.
Buzzzzz.

As Mu Chen’s hand seals changed, everyone witnessed that there was actually a
golden rune appearing on the fourth layer of the pagoda’s walls, the golden rune
was spreading out at a rapid speed and quickly transformed into a Golden Dragon
Rune.

When the fourth Golden Dragon Rune appeared, Liu Qingyun’s face drastically
changed.

Roar!

Dragon roars resounded as the Golden Dragon Rune separated itself from the pagoda’s
wall and turned into golden flames, joining the sea of flames that engulfed the
azure Spiritual Image.

Fhooooooooo!

As the fourth Golden Dragon joined the array of flames, the golden flames became
more radiant as its power increased.

“Flames of Pagoda, Refine!”

Mu Chen slowly extended his hand out towards the black pagoda and clenched his fist
as a cold voice resounded from his heart.

Fhooooo!

When his voice stopped, the raging golden flames rolled in the pagoda and engulfed
the entire azure Spiritual Image.
Chapter 608 - Untitled
On the Battle Stage that belonged to Ji Xuan and Wen Busheng.

Ji Xuan stood on midair as boundless Spiritual Energy swept out from his body.
Behind him, the vast Spiritual Energy seemed to have formed into a huge sacred sun.

The sacred sun floated in midair while emitting terrifying power. Looking at it,
the students outside the stage felt their scalps tingling, the level of that attack
was something that not even Third Grade Spirit Disaster experts could withstand. To
be able to emerge into the Best 8 and possess the most prominent fame, Ji Xuan did
have his own capabilities.

While many people were sighing, Ji Xuan focused his gaze on Wen Busheng; and in
that direction, Wen Busheng maintained a calm expression as the dark golden color
in his hand grew darker. From the outer appearance, it seemed to be made of gold,
but an ineffable pressure was being emitted.

“The hand bone of a Sovereign…”

Ji Xuan fixed his eyes on Wen Busheng as he slowly said, “What good luck you have
there.”

Only now did Ji Xuan realise why Wen Busheng was able to lead his team of decent
strength to surmount all difficulties and make it to the Best 8. It turns out that
this ordinary-looking fellow had such a powerful trump card.

“The hand bone of a Sovereign?”

The surrounding students felt their hearts jolt upon hearing their conversation as
they looked at Wen Busheng’s golden right hand in overwhelming shock. A Sovereign’s
hand bone is in that fellow’s hand?

Similarly, Wen Busheng was also looking at Ji Xuan and smiled, “It was just good
fortune. Fortunately, I was able to obtain a Senior’s hand bone that he had managed
to leave behind by using his Blood Essence in an ancient ruin. I was able to
succeed because I was compatible with his hand bone and there’s the fact that I
know a little about the transplant technique.”

“What good fortune he has.” Someone involuntarily voiced out. Rumor had it that
when a Sovereign expert dies, their body could last for a millennium, without being
destroyed. Those that were fortunate to obtain the bones of a Sovereign could not
transplant it directly into their body, since it wasn’t something that belonged to
them, if they were to transplant it carelessly, they could be devoured by it
instead, unless that person was really fortunate to have a high compatibility with
the Sovereign’s bone…

Even with such a small chance, Wen Busheng actually encountered it. That fellow’s
luck was really envious.

“But, looking from the might of your Sovereign’s hand bone, the owner of it
wouldn’t exceed Fifth Grade Sovereign Realm. So I’m afraid that it will not be that
easy if you want to defeat me by just relying on it.” Ji Xuan spoke in a faint
tone.

“If I don’t risk it, how would I know the results?” Wen Busheng showed an
indifferent smile. Even when facing the powerful Ji Xuan, he still showed no trace
of fear.

“Then, let me take a look at how much strength the Sovereign expert has left behind
after his death.” Ji Xuan deeply looked at Wen Busheng as his gaze gradually turned
cold. His body slowly rose up and the sacred sun formed from his boundless
Spiritual Energy was becoming clearer and larger in size behind him.

Everyone could feel the violent movements of Spiritual Energy between the heavens
and earth, the light shone from the sacred sun was actually causing the natural
Spiritual Energy in the heavens and earth to boil.

Everyone could tell that Ji Xuan was intending to end this battle with his
finishing move.

Haaaaaah.

Wen Busheng deeply inhaled a mouthful of air as he suddenly clenched his golden
hand, the clothes on his entire arm were instantly torn to shreds. With blue veins
that were like earthworms wiggling on his arm, the blood in his body started to
flow, endlessly pouring into his hand.

As the blood flowed, the dark color of his palm grew darker, the power being
emitted from it also grew stronger.

Many people held their breaths as the two of them were preparing to have a decisive
clash.

Rumble! Rumble!

Violent Spiritual Energy fluctuated in the heavens and the earth in ripples. The
silence before the calm made the atmosphere between the heavens and earth a little
frozen.

Up in the sky, the sacred sun behind Ji Xuan grew in size to a few hundred meters.
Before the sacred sun, his figure, which was floating before it, looked extremely
tiny. The sacred sun was like a blazing sun that had descended; it was extremely
stunning.

When the sacred sun reached a limit, a radiant light shot out of Ji Xuan’s cold
gaze. He looked down at Wen Busheng as he formed hand seals and his chilled voice
resonated throughout the heavens and earth.

“Great Divine Sun Art - Sacred Sun Cleanse!”

Buzz! Buzz!

The colossal sun emitted a buzzing noise and as Ji Xuan formed his seals, everyone
witnessed the sun abruptly shoot up to the horizon.

Whoosh!

The sun rose towards the nine heavens and after a few breath’s time, it dived down,
a descending sun from the sky, along with unimaginable destructive power. Under the
countless gazes that were overwhelmed with shock, it descended towards the Battle
Stage.

Under the terrifying attack, the firm stage caved in as cracks started to spread.

Wen Busheng’s face turned even more solemn as he looked at the dreadful power
falling from the sky. He raised his head as the sun that was reflected in his
pupils grew bigger and bigger.

In that instant, he slowly raised his right hand, a dark golden liquid seemed to be
circulating in his golden hand, his face turned pale as he waved his hand down in
the air.

“Sovereign’s Hand!”

A faint voice resounded from Wen Busheng’s heart.

Buzzz!

The space violently trembled when Wen Busheng waved his hand down, so much so that
the ripples were visibly seen spreading out like waves.

Golden light burst forth and everyone could clearly see a golden palm print flying
from Wen Busheng’s palm. The palm grew in size and in a short amount of time, it
had already grown to a few hundred meters.

The massive golden palm soared, it was as if a giant was waving his palm and, under
the countless startled gazes, it heavily clashed with the descending sun without
fear.

Boom!

The heavens and earth became silent from the moment of contact. However, the
silence only lasted for an instant before an eye-piercing radiant light exploded.

That scene was similar to two meteorites clashing together.

Dreadful Spiritual Energy impacts violently swept out as everyone raised their
heads, looking at the clash between the sun and the golden palm in astonishment.
The two constantly eroded one another, trying to destroy the other party.

However, due to the fact that the two abilities were extremely powerful, the two
attacks fell into a stalemate.

On the stage, Wen Busheng was watching the clash as he waved his hand down in the
empty space again and at this same time, his face turned even paler.

Buzzzz!

The golden palm was abruptly strengthened and everyone saw that the golden palm had
suddenly clenched, crushing the sun.

Hissssssss

Innumerable people sucked in cold air because no one expected Wen Busheng to be so
powerful, even such a powerful attack unleashed by Ji Xuan was crushed by him.

The hand bone of a Sovereign was, indeed, formidable.

Whoosh!

After the golden palm crushed the sun, taking advantage of the extremely violent
Spiritual Energy explosion, it charged towards the direction of Ji Xuan in the sky.

Space was distorted by the impact of the Spiritual Energy, rendering others
incapable of seeing Ji Xuan’s expression. But facing Wen Busheng’s attack, he
didn’t seem to have any signs of dodging.

Swissssh!

The golden palm appeared before Ji Xuan in almost an instant as it waved down.

There wasn’t any fluctuation in Ji Xuan’s expression. On the contrary, a cold chill
flashed across his pupils.

Liiiiiiii!

A primordial hawk cry resonated in the sky. When many people raised their heads,
they saw an illusory hawk’s wings tearing the space apart as it skimmed past the
golden palm and disappeared.

The illusory hawk’s wings only appeared for an instant and it only took a skim for
the golden palm to disappear. Many people rubbed their eyes at the sight of it as
the previous scene felt like an illusion.

When the golden palm was half a foot away from Ji Xuan, it suddenly froze and
wasn’t able to budge an inch.

Ji Xuan indifferently extended his palm as he lightly slapped the golden palm.

Crack.

Along with Ji Xuan’s light slap, many people were filled with astonishment as they
saw the indestructible golden palm crumbling and turning into golden flickers that
filled the sky.
Pffffff.

Below on the stage, Wen Busheng spat a mouthful of blood as the Spiritual Energy
ripples around him dropped. He felt the weakness in his body as he kneeled on the
ground with one leg as fresh blood dripped from the corner of his mouth.

He slowly wiped the bloodstain off the corner of his lips as he raised his head. At
this time, Ji Xuan slowly descended as he looked at him with an apathetic gaze.

“I lost.”

Wen Busheng bitterly smiled and issued a soft sigh.

As Wen Busheng declared, cheers that filled the skies and covered the earth rang
out. No one imagined that Wen Busheng, whose attack was at a slight advantage,
would suddenly lose.

That Ji Xuan was simply too powerful.

Hearing the cheers, Wen Busheng turned his head around as he looked at a Battle
Stage far away, which was similarly emitting astonishing Spiritual Energy ripples.

Ji Xuan’s name truly is not for nothing, it's all up to you to defeat him…
Chapter 609 - Emergence of the Best 3
When Wen Busheng was defeated, the battle between Mu Chen and Liu Qingyun had also
reached the climax.

The black pagoda hovered in the horizon as the golden flames in the pagoda raged.
The flames felt as if they could burn anything in the world. The flames were
surging as they engulfed the azure light image.

Tsssssssshhiiiiiii

A piercing noise constantly resounded, as if the Spiritual Energy was being burnt.

The might of the four golden dragons that turned into the pagoda’s flames was
unbelievable. Under the raging flames, the azure spiritual image was rapidly being
distorted. There was a suffering expression on the spiritual image’s indistinct
face.

On the Battle Stage, Liu Qingyun’s face also drastically changed.

“Shatter!”

However, before he could react, Mu Chen’s cold voice rang throughout the heavens
and earth.

Fhooooooo!

Along with Mu Chen’s cold voice, the ferocity of the golden flames in the pagoda
reached the limits and swept out. The azure spiritual image was incapable of
holding out any longer as cracks started to appear and spread on the colossal body,
a heavy sound came and it exploded.

Azure light dispersed but was quickly devoured by the golden flames.

As the golden flames spread, the place was soon empty as the azure spiritual image
no longer existed.
That azure spiritual image was refined.

Pooooofff!

A mouthful of fresh blood spewed from Liu Qingyun’s mouth as paleness rapidly ran
across his face. The Spiritual Energy ripples in his surroundings were also
weakened. The spiritual image contained his blood essence, which was linked
together with him, thus he suffered heavy injuries when it was refined.

Swish!

When Liu Qingyun spewed blood from his mouth, a commotion roared around the battle
stage. Many people widened their eyes, with shock covering their faces from the
fact that Liu Qingyun actually lost…

“Liu Qingyun has already executed such a move and still lost to Mu Chen…”

“Truly well-deserving of being the Numero Uno of the Elimination Round.”

“…”

Many people couldn’t help gasping in surprise as Mu Chen’s strength was only at
First Grade Spirit Disaster, whereas Liu Qingyun was at Third Grade Spirit
Disaster. But despite the difference between them, Mu Chen was able to emerge
victorious. His fighting strength was truly admirable.

“Big Brother Mu Chen won!” Yu Xi’s face and eyes were filled with excitement.

Ye Qingling, Su Ling’er, and Sun’er couldn’t hide the joy on their faces. As for
the students of the Northern Heavens Spiritual Academy, a tsunami of cheers had
already broken out amongst them as every single one of them had their faces filled
with excitement. It had been too long since their Northern Heavens Spiritual
Academy had achieved such outstanding results in the Great Spiritual Academy
Tournament.

In the past, when their academy participated in the Great Spiritual Academy
Tournament, those students from the other Five Great Academies were always staring
at them with mockery. But today, the gazes coming from them were stupefied, which
made them feel great.

“The Nine-layered Pagoda does have a little maturity.” Ling Xi focused her gaze on
the silhouette of the youth as she revealed a smile. She had also cultivated the
Nine-layered Pagoda in the past and, thus, she had a considerable amount of
knowledge for it. It was known as a powerful technique in Aunt Jing’s clan and when
cultivated to the end, it could even refine Sovereign Realm experts that had been
sucked into it, it was extremely fearsome.

However, it hadn’t been long since Mu Chen obtained the complete Great Pagoda Art;
but with his talent, it’s not too difficult for him to have great accomplishments
in the future.

At the location gathered by the students of the Myriad Phoenix Spiritual Academy
was a scene of myriad flowers blossoming, the beautiful scenery was pleasing to the
eye.

At this instant, all of them were looking at the Battle Stage which Mu Chen was at.
After all, their confrontation was extremely dazzling.
“This Mu Chen is so formidable that even Liu Qingyun is not his opponent.”

“It is said that Liu Qingyun was a genius in the Wind Spirit Clan, anyone that
comes out from that clan isn’t weak. I never imagined that even he could not win
against Mu Chen.”

“But… hehe, that Mu Chen is quite handsome.”

“Haha, go and hook him over, you little fox. Our Myriad Phoenix Spiritual Academy
won’t mind having such an outstanding male student…”

“…”

As those girls were boldly chattering and laughing, an aroma spread out, which made
the students of the other schools drool.

“Qian’er, this childhood sweetheart of yours is really from the Northern Spiritual
Realm? Isn’t he a little too formidable? That Liu Qingyun is a genius of the Wind
Spirit Clan.” Next Tang Qian’er, a girl with gorgeous looks praised.

“Yeah, even in the Northern Spiritual Realm, he was also very outstanding.” Tang
Qing’er smiled as her gaze focused on that youth’s silhouette as well. Complicated
lights flashed across her eyes and without her knowing, he was already so dazzling
and the distance between them was getting further and further away.

The thought of it made Tang Qian’er’s spiritual eyes dim, but, she quickly firmly
clenched her fist. The matters of the future were still far from them, no one knew
what would happen in the future. Just like how the brat Mu Chen who had mucus
dangling on his nose followed behind her, wobbling as he walked. Perhaps even he
would not expect himself to be so dazzling in the future, right?

On the Golden Battle Stage.

Mu Chen looked at the emptied Nine-layered Pagoda as he made a summoning gesture

with his hand. Following it, the Nine-layered Pagoda turned into a black light and
flew back into his body. He then shifted his gaze and looked at Liu Qingyun and
said, “Are we going to continue?”

At the current moment, the Spiritual Energy ripples around Liu Qingyun was
extremely weak. Evidently, he had suffered a huge injury and he wouldn’t have any
chance of success, even if he carried on fighting.

Liu Qingyun wiped the traces of blood off the corner of his lips as he deeply
glanced at Mu Chen. “I always keep my promises, you are the victor of this round.”

He had already revealed his strongest attack, which was still defeated by Mu Chen.
If they were to continue, he would only be embarrassing himself, so he decided to
admit defeat while showing elegance at the same time.

“Thanks for letting me win.”

Mu Chen cupped his hands as he smiled, there weren’t any deep grudges between him
and Liu Qingyun, so there’s no point in forcing his opponent to a dead end.

Liu Qingyun stood up as he glanced at Mu Chen and spoke with indifference,

“Although you have defeated me, don’t get too proud of yourself. Your greatest
opponent is Ji Xuan, and he isn’t so easy to deal with.”

“I know he’s not easy, but I think that I’m not easy to deal with, as well.” The
unerasable self-confidence held in Mu Chen’s calm tone raised the eyebrows of
others.

Liu Qingyun went silent. Indeed, although Ji Xuan was powerful, this youth before
him also wasn’t a simple figure. If the two of them were to clash, it would
probably be an earth-shattering battle between those two.

Up in midair, the Five Great Deans were looking down as they each had different
expressions on their faces.

A smile hung on Dean Tai Cang’s face because Mu Chen’s performance had surpassed
his expectations. He never expected Liu Qingyun to be defeated by Mu Chen’s hands.
With that, their Northern Heavens Spiritual Academy would be able to enter into the
Best 4, such results were already pretty good.

“Haha, Dean Tai Cang, my congratulations to the Northern Heavens Spiritual Academy,
a formidable Freshman has emerged.” The Azure Sky Spiritual Academy’s Dean Tian
Song sighed with an elegant smile.

“Dean Tian Song is flattering me. Mu Chen was just lucky. That Liu Qingyun of your
academy is a dragon amongst men as well.” Dean Tai Cang smiled as he replied.

“Right now, basically the Best 3 have already emerged in the battle of the Best 8.”
Dean Tiansheng of the Saint Spiritual Academy lightly laughed.

Amongst the four Battle Stages, Mu Chen defeated Liu Qingyun and Luo Li had also
easily defeated her opponent. Shen Cangsheng and Li Xuantong also obtained victory,
while Su Xuan maintained a tie. However, their results no longer mattered since
their team had already obtained the advantage.

Whereas Ji Xuan defeated Wen Busheng and his team obtained a result of total
victory, defeating all of their opponents.

As for the other two, the team led by Wen Qingxuan had expectedly won. Compared to
Mu Chen and Ji Xuan’s battle, Wen Qingxuan’s victory was pretty easy. After all,
Fang Yun’s strength was the weakest amongst the eight Captains. If it wasn’t for
the Dragon-Tiger Cauldron, he might not even be able to last so long in the hands
of Wen Qingxuan.

As for the Wen Qingxuan’s teammates, all of them had their own victories and
losses, but according to points, they had already surpassed the Nine Cauldron
Spiritual Academy. Thus, this battle ended in their victory.

Therefore, there were already three teams that emerged into the Best 4.

Mu Chen stood on the Battle Stage as Luo Li, Shen Cangsheng, Li Xuantong and Su
Xuan, who had ended their battles, flew over towards his direction.

“You guys had it tough.” Mu Chen smiled at them.

“How can it be compared to yours?” Shen Cangsheng and Li Xuantong said helplessly.
Although their battles were intense as well, compared to the battle Mu Chen had
with Liu Qingxuan, it was beyond comparison.

“I didn’t manage to obtain a victory.” Su Xuan was a little embarrassed as she

spoke. In the entire team, only she had ended her battle in a tie.

“It’s enough if we can get into the Best 4.” Mu Chen casually spoke. The other
members of the Azure Sky Spiritual Academy’s team weren’t easy opponents and it was
already a good result that Su Xuan could obtain a tie with her strength being the
weakest in their team.

“Only Luo Li ended her battle the fastest.” Shen Cangsheng smiled, in the battle
between the eight teams, Luo Li was the first to have ended the battle. Her
efficiency attracted countless gasps of surprise.

Mu Chen nodded his head as he smiled as well. Even placed amongst the eight
Captains, Luo Li’s strength could be considered amongst the highest and now,
putting her against a team member was naturally an easy task.

“Right now, there is still one ongoing battle.” Luo Li said softly as she shifted
her gaze towards a Battle Stage faraway as a chill flowed in her clear eyes.

It was the stage that Xue Tianhe and Wu Ling was fighting.
Chapter 610 – Demonic Blood Beast VS Divine War Ape
Three out of the four Battle Stages had concluded their battles as the Spiritual
Energies calmed down. Only the one on the most right still had ripples of dreadful
Spiritual Energy fluctuations, causing signs of faint distortion in the space.

It was the Battle Stage between Xue Tianhe and Wu Ling.

The team members of those two teams had their own victories and losses as according
to the calculation of points, the two teams only had two points each. Which meant
that two of their teammates in each team obtained a victory while having one tied;
both of the teams had the same amount of points. Thus, the battle between their
Captains would determine if they could get into the Best 4.

“This Xue Tianhe is truly formidable, to be capable of fighting with Wu Ling to

such a degree.” Shen Cangsheng and the rest had astonishment revealed on their
expressions. Wu Ling was the most prominent genius in the Martial Spiritual
Academy. Due to the fact that he had been hiding his strength in the Elimination
Round, he had yet to show his true strength. But even so, he still couldn’t defeat
Xue Tianhe so easily.

“Xue Tianhe is a Prince in the Blood God Clan, his background would only be
stronger compared to Wu Ling, not weaker.” Luo Li spoke in a soft tone. She
naturally had a good understanding of the Blood God Clan. Although Wu Ling was the
grandson of the Martial Spiritual Academy’s Dean, the foundation of an academy was
still inferior to the Blood God Clan.

“I can’t tell who will win, as well.” Mu Chen nodded his head in agreement. In
terms of relationship, he still wished for Wu Ling to emerge victorious. After all,
he didn’t have the slightest favourable opinion of Xue Tianhe, since he hopes to
personally slaughter this fellow who had ill intentions for Luo Li.

“This battle will be extremely intense.”

When everyone heard that statement, they nodded their heads in agreement as they
looked at the colossal Battle Stage without batting an eye.

In this vast region, every single person had their attention gathered upon that
Battle Stage at this moment, especially students of the Martial Spiritual Academy;
all of them had nervous expressions on their faces. Right now, the Northern Heavens
Spiritual Academy, Saint Spiritual Academy and the Myriad Phoenix Spiritual Academy
had entered the Best 4, if their Martial Spiritual Academy were to fail here, it
would definitely be a considerable impact to their morale.

Under the innumerable gazes, two surges of boundless Spiritual Energy were
frantically clashing in the colossal Battle Stage, separated by the colours of
blood-red and deep yellow, splitting the stage into two regions.

Xue Tianhe and Wu Ling’s figures were practically engulfed by the boundless
Spiritual Energies with only thunderous explosions sounding off every time the two
surges of dreadful Spiritual Energy clashed. Judging from the Spiritual Energy
impacts, the battle between the two had already reached the climax.

Roar!

As the two surges of Spiritual Energies clashed, a violence-filled roar resounded

from the Battle Stage. That roar didn’t seem to be something that could be produced
by humans, it sounded like an ape’s roar. The roar was filled with endless ferocity
as the sound waves spread out, pushing the blood-red Spiritual Energy back.

That scene instantly caused an endless uproar.

Mu Chen and Luo Li’s gazes also narrowed in an instant, shifting their gazes over,
they saw the sudden appearance of a large silhouette in the boundlessly deep
yellow-coloured Spiritual Energy. It was an image of about a few hundred meters, it
seemed to be a deep yellow-coloured ape. The ape was holding onto a huge black pole
with a savage expression, its eyes were also filled with ferocity and thirst for
battle.

As the gigantic ape made its appearance, the Spiritual Energy between the heavens
and earth started to boil.

“That’s…”

Mu Chen could not help having his expression changed as he exclaimed in surprise,
“Rank 15 of the Myriad Beast Record’s Earth Rank, the Divine War Ape?”

By his side, Luo Li also revealed an astonished expression as she clearly never
expected Wu Ling to have previously refined the Soul Essence of a Divine War Ape.
It looked like the Martial Spiritual Academy was related to this as well;
otherwise, how could Wu Ling refine such a powerful Spiritual Beast’s Soul Essence
with his own strength?

“How dreadful, so Wu Ling had concealed such a trump card under his sleeve.” Shen
Cangsheng and the rest also exclaimed in surprise, which was shortly replaced by
envy. Such a powerful Spiritual Beast’s Soul Essence wasn’t something an ordinary
people could enjoy. Not only did one require great opportunity, it also required
the aid of powerful experts. Otherwise, that person would only be counter-devoured
by the Soul Essence instead.

Although all of them had refined Soul Essences back when they were in the Spirit
Stage, their Spiritual Beast’s Soul Essences weren’t powerful. Thus, as they got
stronger, the power of the Soul Essence would also slowly fade and would no longer
be usable, unless they refined the Soul Essence of a powerful Spiritual Beast of
the Myriad Beast Record back when they were in the Spirit Stage.

“Xue Tianhe is not going to last.” Li Xuantong looked at the stage. When Wu Ling
revealed his trump card, the stalemate between them was instantly shattered. The
torrential blood-red Spiritual Energy was being pushed back and, clearly, according
to this situation, Wu Ling would probably win the battle.

“It’s not that simple.” Luo Li, however, shook her head in disagreement as her eyes
fixed onto that silhouette covered in blood-red Spiritual Energy as a chill
flashed.

Mu Chen was also closely watching the Battle Stage since he also wished to know
what else Xue Tianhe had hidden under his sleeve. Facing the currently powerful Wu
Ling, can he win?

Boom!

Under the countless gazes, the large ape that Wu Ling had taken the form of waved
its large pole, sweeping away an earth-shatteringly large amount of blood-red
Spiritual Energy. Thereafter, Wu Ling drove his pole forth along with a windstorm
towards the silhouette hidden in the blood-red Spiritual Energy.

Creak! Creak!

Wu Ling did not hold himself back in that move as the windstorm of the pole left
behind faint marks in the space as it moved and dense blood red Spiritual Energy
exploded.

The boundless oceanic blood-red Spiritual Energy was suppressed until it was only
to tens of meters. Furthermore, that Spiritual Energy was also shattered under the
whirlwind of the pole.

Suddenly, just when the pole was about to completely shatter the blood-red
Spiritual Energy, an unforeseen event occurred.

Boom!

Suddenly, a mighty fist, covered in blood-red scales, charged out of the blood-red
Spiritual Energy and clashed against the gigantic pole. Under the impact of the two
terrifying powers, cracks started to spread on the ground below.

As the whirlwind from the impact wreaked havoc, everyone was shocked as they
witnessed Wu Ling, who was currently in the form of a colossal ape, being pushed
back, leaving deep footprint grooves on the ground.

“What?!”

Many people screamed out in astonishment as their gazes became filled with horror
when they saw the blood-red Spiritual Energy. What did Xue Tianhe do, how is he
able to push back the Divine War Ape?

The faces of Shen Cangsheng and the rest changed as well.

Mu Chen’s gaze was fixed onto the blood-red Spiritual Energy. Earlier, when that
huge fist covered in blood-red scales appeared, he could sense the movement coming
from the black egg, which was the current form of the Nine Netherbird.

“This Xue Tianhe has also refined a powerful Spiritual Beast’s Soul Essence?”

Mu Chen’s gaze flickered as his expression was a little solemn. That fellow had
truly deeply hidden that.

The blood-red Spiritual Energy slowly dissipates and, in the process, everyone
could see a colossal figure gradually appearing in their eyes, getting clearer in
their view.

Hisssssss.
When the colossal figure had cleared up, many people sucked in a mouthful of
chilled air.

It was a colossal humanoid beast in blood-red scales, the colossal beast was also
covered in a thick layer of blood armour, with blood-red bone spikes at its back.
The appearance was very ferocious as a surge of savage aura was being emitted as it
spread throughout the heavens and the earth.

“What is that?”

“Rank 13 of the Myriad Beast Record’s Earth Rank, the Demonic Blood Beast!” Luo Li
said softly as her eyes were filled with chill.

“The Demonic Blood Beast of Rank 13?” Mu Chen’s heart jolted at her words. It was
said that the Demonic Blood Beast was a species of extreme savagery, ranking in 13
and was only two ranks beneath the Nine Netherbird. From that point alone, one
could deduct how powerful the Demonic Blood Beast was, but due to the fact of the
beast possessing an extremely savage nature, it would affect the one that refined
it, planting a savage nature into that person.

“In the Blood God Clan, there is a Blood Sea. The Blood Sea was made by the Blood
God Clan from sacrificing the Blood Essence of countless people. Through it, they
reached an agreement to beneficially strengthen both their clans.” At this moment,
Luo Li’s clear pupils were filled with extreme hatred.

“All these years, the Blood God Clan has been boldly attacking the region of our
Luo God Clan, taking our people to refine the Blood Sea and nurture the Demonic
Blood Beasts!”

Mu Chen was slightly startled, despite being aware that the battles between clans
were extremely violent, he never thought that the Blood God Clan would be so
vicious. No wonder the Luo God Clan was filled with hatred for the Blood God Clan.

Mu Chen looked at the girl who was biting her rosy lips and couldn’t control the
pity that was rising in his heart. The responsibilities on her shoulders had far
surpassed his expectations. She had hundreds of millions of people to protect and
she could only leave the Luo God Clan for two years to be at the Northern Heavens
Spiritual Academy. Her sacrifices made Mu Chen feel his heart being plugged.

She had been silently sacrificing so much for him.

He inhaled a mouthful of air as he extended his hand and held onto Luo Li’s. He did
not speak as he knew that right now, he didn’t have any qualification to confront
such a colossal figure like the Blood God Clan. But one day, he would overturn the
entire Blood God Clan for her sake.

Luo Li also felt Mu Chen’s thoughts as her small cold hands were also gripping onto
Mu Chen’s, she felt secured as she spoke in a soft voice, “Wu Ling is losing.”

Mu Chen raised his head as he looked. Indeed, the battle in the Battle Stage was
overturned, along with Xue Tianhe activating the power of the Demonic Blood Beast,
his strength had surpassed Wu Ling at this point. The colossal ape was constantly
being pushed back from the fist of the Demonic Blood Beast.

From this scene, everyone understood that there was only one outcome to this
confrontation.

Boom!
Another collision occurred, the Demonic Blood Beast was pushed back as a portion of
blood-red scales on its arm shattered, while the huge ape was sent flying. Its
colossal body rapidly shrank in midair, returning to a human form as it drew long
marks on the Battle Stage in a miserable manner.

Wu Ling spat a mouthful of fresh blood, every single part of his clothes was
tattered as he fixed his eyes on the Demonic Blood Beast, filled with unwillingness
and sadness. He never expected Xue Tianhe to be at this level of power.

Up in the sky, the Demonic Blood Beast rapidly shrank as well and returned to the
figure of Xue Tianhe. He gave a mocking glance at Wu Ling, he tugged his arms to
his chest as he swept his gaze out and in the end, fixed his gaze onto Mu Chen and
Luo Li. A savage smile rose up from the corner of his lips.

Seeing his provoking smile, Mu Chen narrowed both of his eyes as he slowly extended
his hand out with his thump facing up and turning it down in the end.

Under the sunlight, the youth had a slender figure with a calm expression. However,
his gesture was filled with heart-trembling arrogance and overbearingness.
Chapter 611 – The Mirror of Judgemen
t

Smoke gradually dissipated as the last Battle Stage put a closure to that intense
battle.

Naturally, the outcome was certainly beyond everyone’s expectations, since no one
expected Wu Ling to lose. After all, amongst the eight Captains, in terms of fame,
Wu Ling ranked third. But even so, he was still defeated, the cruel reality made
many people inwardly sigh. The Great Spiritual Academy Tournament this time truly
was too intense.

Every student of the Martial Spiritual Academy looked at one another as they felt a
little depressed. The defeat of Wu Ling had a huge impact on their morale.

However, they all knew that Wu Ling was not to blame as he had already performed
very well. After all, he even used the power of the Divine War Ape in the end, but
who could have expected Xue Tianhe to have such similar powerful trump card hidden
as well?

The Dean of the Martial Spiritual Academy had his brows furrowed in midair as he
looked at Xue Tianhe’s silhouette. He couldn’t help letting out a cold snort,
“Those from the clans are really detestable, wanting to stretch their hands to
everything.”

Looks like Wu Ling’s defeat made this Wu Tianwang a little unhappy.

When the four other Deans by the side heard his words, they knew that he was
unhappy. Thus, they kept their silence, since it was impossible for them to do
something like removing the qualifications of Xue Tianhe. If they did, the Blood
God Clan would definitely not let this matter rest so easily.

“Cough, since the Battle of the Best 8 has concluded, let’s announce the next
match.” Dean Tiansheng of the Saint Spiritual Academy dryly coughed as he spoke
with a faint laugh.

Although the strength displayed by Xue Tianhe truly was powerful, he had absolute
confidence in Ji Xuan. Thus, he believed that their Saint Spiritual Academy could
get the best results in this Great Spiritual Academy Tournament.
The four Deans nodded at his words.

Seeing their reaction, Dean Tain Sheng waved his hand as his robust voice spread
out like thunder in the sky, “The Battle of the Best 8 has ended, those in the Best
4 are the four strongest teams!”

“They will be the protagonists of this Great Spiritual Academy Tournament!”

“Saint Spiritual Academy!”

Along with Dean Tiansheng’s robust voice resounding, a brilliant pillar of light
descends from the sky, enveloping Ji Xuan and his team under the countless gazes.

“Northern Heavens Spiritual Academy!”

Another pillar of light fell as Mu Chen’s team of five quietly remained as the
light shone onto their bodies, causing a light arc to appear on their bodies as the
amount trembling and ocean-rolling cheers resounded. Amongst those cheers, the
cheers from the students of the Northern Heavens Spiritual Academy were the
craziest.

“Myriad Phoenix Spiritual Academy!”

Another pillar of light descended, Wen Qingxuan’s left hand was tightly gripping
her golden war spear with her hair draped down. Her right hand was on her slim
waist, while the golden armour covered her voluptuous figure and wonderful curves.
Her charming face had the similar pride of a phoenix and as her phoenix-like eyes
moved, she emitted a startling charm.

Behind her, Pin’er, Le’er and the other two girls were all gorgeous flowers,
attracting countless amounts of attention.

“Blood God Academy!”

The last pillar of light descended on the head of Xue Tianhe and his team with him
standing at the front. He tugged both of his arms against his chest as he
maintained a calm expression, except his cold gaze, which was constantly locked on
Mu Chen.

The four pillars of light became the most focused of the entire heavens and earth.
The four teams were undisputedly the strongest and no one would deny this point.

They had undergone half a year of the Elimination Round and in the Final Battle,
they defeated opponents that were similarly powerful to stand in the position that
they were in right now, receiving the earth-shattering cheers and admiring gazes.

“Since the Best 4 have emerged, the next confrontation will be even more fearsome.
I wonder who will win.”

“I’m guessing that Ji Xuan of the Saint Spiritual Academy has the highest chance.
The strength of this person is deep and unfathomable.”

“That’s hard to say, Wen Qingxuan of the Myriad Phoenix Spiritual Academy is not an
easy opponent. Don’t look at how normal she was from her performance in her battle,
even Ji Xuan doesn't dare to belittle her.”

“Yeah, I’ve heard the Dean mention before that Wen Qingxuan is not simple.”
“Then, is Mu Chen of the Northern Heavens Spiritual Academy simple? Even Liu
Qingyun lost to him and based on Liu Qingyun’s strength, he’s probably comparable
to Wu Ling.”

“That Xue Tianhe as well. No one wouldn’t fear someone that could defeat Wu Ling.”

“This battle round for the Championship of the Great Spiritual Academy Tournament
is probably the most intense in the last century…”

Whispers that filled the air burst out. The strength of the four teams was simply
too powerful and without going through the final battle, no one was able to predict
who would win.

As the heavens and earth were filled with the mountain-trembling and ocean-rolling
cheers, the four teams stood on the four respective Battle Stages quietly as they
welcomed countless heated gazes. Their expressions, however, were calm, without any
ripples in their hearts.

Any of the teams that could come this far were the strongest amongst all the
Spiritual Academies. Thus, their hearts were also the hardest to be shaken.

“I wonder how the next battle will be conduct.” Shen Cangsheng looked at the three
other teams as he spoke with a heavy expression. Every single one of those three
teams was extremely powerful and any single one of them would probably be a tough
battle for them.

“No matter who our next opponent is, we just have to do our best.” Mu Chen said
with a faint smile.

“Since we have you and Luo Li, our burden will be easier.” Li Xuantong said with a
smile as their team had two hearts, Mu Chen and Luo Li.

The two of them, one in the light, while the other stayed in the shadows. Perhaps
many people were unaware, but this girl that had not shown any ability was actually
a powerful figure that wasn’t inferior to the four other Captains.

When Mu Chen heard his comment, he couldn’t help staring at his team and just when
he was about to speak, he suddenly felt something and he raised his head with his
eyes narrowed.

At the same time, Luo Li, Ji Xuan, Wen Qingxuan and Xue Tianhe had also realised it
as they raised their heads as well.

Their line-of-sights were directed at the horizon and up in the horizon, space
suddenly started to violently distort as a colossal object that was roughly a few
thousand meters in size exited from the distorted space.

Hissssss.

When everyone saw that colossal object that broke out from the space, they couldn’t
refrain from sucking in a mouthful of air.

It was a bronze mirror that was roughly a few thousand meters. The rim of the
bronze mirror was filled with extremely profound runes, ancient and obscure. The
surface of the mirror was dark ash-grey as if it was covered in dust and could not
be seen.

The instant the bronze mirror appeared, the space in this region showed signs of
disorder, as if an incredibly powerful object that it could not withstand had
appeared.

The bronze mirror quietly hovered in the sky. The surface of the mirror that was
covered in dust gave off a feeling as if it could reflect anything that was in the
Great Thousand World.

“That’s…”

Shock was revealed in Mu Chen’s eyes as he felt that the Great Meru Demonic Pillar
within his body have fine trembles. Furthermore, he was even more stunned when
there were slight ripples from the “Immortal Page”.

“That’s the Divine Artifact of the Five Great Spiritual Academies… the Mirror of
Judgement.”

Sword lights also uncontrollably surged out of Luo Li’s hand as a sword cry rang
out as if it was trying to struggle free from her hand to compete with the
mysterious bronze mirror.

“The Mirror of Judgement?”

Hearing this name, everyone felt startled and even Mu Chen’s gaze was complicated.
Generally speaking, the Mirror of Judgement more or less had something to do with
the fact that he could enter the Spiritual Road and meet Luo Li, since the Mirror
of Judgement that was before him selected the people that were qualified for the
Spiritual Road.

“What rank of Divine Artifact is it?” Mu Chen looked at Luo Li as he asked with a
soft voice.

“Probably above High Rank.” Luo Li said after a brief ponder.

Mu Chen inhaled a mouthful of air again. Above High-Rank Divine Artifact? Probably
only those ancient clans with powerful foundations could possess such a powerful
Divine Artifact, he never expected for it to appear in the Five Great Academies.

“Legend has it that this Mirror of Judgement has been handed down since the ancient
times. The light ray from it could penetrate the barrier of any plane. When it
shines onto a Lower Plane… no one can hide from its light.” Luo Li continued
explaining.

“It is said that in the ancient times, the light of this Mirror of Judgement could
even reduce Sovereign Realm experts to dust.”

“So dreadful?” Mu Chen’s heart shook. If that was the case, didn’t it mean that he
could use this Mirror of Judgement to locate his mother?

However, the thought flashed for only a moment before it was dispelled. His mother
had gone through so much effort in order to keep him hidden, if he went poking his
nose around, it might be sensed by that mysterious clan. At the current moment, Mu
Chen didn’t think that he had the qualifications to confront that clan.

“It’s just a legend… but this Mirror of Judgement seems to have undergone a
tribulation during the ancient times and thus, it was damaged. It shouldn’t have
any dreadful power anymore.” Luo Li spoke as she smiled.

“I wonder what the Five Great Deans are planning by suddenly summoning the Mirror
of Judgement.” Su Xuan was a little confused as she spoke her doubts.
The Mirror of Judgement did not belong to any of the Spiritual Academies but shared
amongst the five. It could only be summoned with the Five Great Deans acting at the
same time.

“Is it for the Battle of the Best 4 next?” Shen Cangsheng spoke in astonishment.

“That should be the case.” Mu Chen and Luo Li exchanged looks as only this reason
would explain it. Otherwise, the Five Great Deans would definitely not take this
Divine Artifact out so easily.

Just when everyone was lost in their guessing and doubts, Dean Tiansheng of the
Saint Spiritual Academy in midair revealed a light smile as he pointed towards the
Mirror of Judgement as his robust voice rang out within everyone’s ears.

“All of your guesses are correct, the Battle of the Best 4 will be started by the
Mirror of Judgement.

Rustle!

As he spoke, mountain-trembling and ocean-rolling cheers rang out in an instant,

even Mu Chen and his team had shock in their eyes as they exchanged looks.

The Battle of the Best 4 seemed to be more and more interesting.

Chapter 612 – Sea of Judgemen
t

The colossal ancient bronze mirror hovered in the horizon, distorting the
surrounding space as space looked to be on the verge of shattering. As if the space
couldn’t withstand the Divine Artifact.

Everyone focused their gazes on the Mirror of Judgement as awe and surprise was
revealed on their faces. It was probably the first time everyone had seen such a
dreadful Divine Artifact of such a grade in their lives.

“What has the upcoming Battle of the Best 4 got to do with the Mirror of
Judgement?”

“According to what Dean Tiansheng said, it should be the case…”

“Then, it’s interesting.”

“…”

Innumerable whispers spread out as many people were a little curious since the
Battle of the Best 4 this time seemed a bit different. It was not the usual lottery
method, but another method. However, this was precisely the reason why everyone had
expectations for it.

After all, the Five Great Academies wouldn’t normally take out a Divine Artifact
like the Mirror of Judgement. Thus, it was a feast for their eyes.

Naturally, they were not the only ones curious, even the Best 4 teams were looking
at the Mirror of Judgement in astonishment, since they had no idea how the Battle
of the Best 4 would take place.

Under the myriad of looks, Dean Tiansheng stood with his hands behind his back and
smiled, “In the Battle of the Best 4 coming up next, the four teams will enter the
Mirror of Judgement, and you only have one objective, to walk out of the Mirror of
Judgement.”
“If not even one member of the team can successfully walk out, that team’s
qualification will be seized, and their journey in the tournament will come to an
end.”

The eyes of Mu Chen and the rest grew cold, since it looked like the test in the
Mirror of Judgement had a dangerous possibility of total annihilation. Although it
was controlled by the Five Great Deans and thus, there wouldn’t be any danger to
one’s life, they would lose their qualifications to fight for the Championship.

“Have you all understood?” Dean Tiansheng slowly spoke as he looked at the four
teams.

The four teams nodded at his words.

“Since that’s the case…” Dean Tiansheng slightly nodded his head as he looked at
the four other Deans and continued, “Then, let’s open the Mirror of Judgement.”

The four Deans stood up at the same time and made a gripping gesture with their
hands, four ancient bronze seals flew out from their hands as they radiated with
light. The five lights exploded with high speed as they entered the surface of the
Mirror of Judgement, which was covered in dust.

Buzz! Buzz!

A peculiar buzzing noise rang out between the heavens and earth as the huge Mirror
of Judgement slowly started to rotate. As the Mirror of Judgement moved, the
surrounding space started to shatter, revealing hideous-looking cracks and a pitch-
black abyss.

With the Mirror of Judgement rotating, the surface of the mirror, which was covered
in dust, slowly started to turn clear as a faint light was being emitted from it,
seemingly capable of penetrating through the obstructions of space.

On the stage, the four teams were looking at the clear mirror with heavy
expressions.

“Let’s go!”

Mu Chen deeply inhaled a mouthful of air, let out a bark and waved his hand;
speaking nothing else.

Rustle!

When he finished speaking, his figure was the first to fly out, transforming into a
light ray as he streaked across the horizon, and charged directly into the Mirror
of Judgement, before disappearing into it. After him, Luo Li and the other three of
his team closely followed behind.

At the same time when Mu Chen’s team entered the Mirror of Judgement, the three
remaining teams charged in without any hesitation as well.

As the four teams disappeared, the surface of the Mirror of Judgement radiated with
brilliance, and a huge screen appeared, displaying the four teams.

Everyone widened their eyes as they looked at this region, the space where the
Mirror of Judgement’s test would take place.
…

When Mu Chen and his team entered the Mirror of Judgement, their eyes were blinded
by the dazzling light for an instant, before it disappeared.

As the light dissipated, Mu Chen and his team raised their guard, Spiritual Energy
covered them as they tensed their bodies and looked at the surroundings with
vigilance.

After that, they couldn’t help having their expressions changed.

The area which they were in seemed to be in the chaotic ocean depths. The ocean was
extremely vast, since the end couldn’t be seen, it was inscrutable.

Furthermore, there was a dreadful pressure that existed in this chaotic ocean, a
pressure that made Mu Chen and his team feel their scalps tingling.

There was a faint sphere of light around their team, it was this sphere of light
that isolated them from the chaotic ocean. But despite that, the indescribable
pressure still continuously invaded in.

“This ocean… seems to be formed entirely from Spiritual Energy.” Mu Chen’s gaze
closely looked at the chaotic ocean outside the sphere of light as he spoke with
his eyes twitching.

Hearing his words, the faces of Shen Cangsheng and the rest instantly changed as
they looked around the chaotic ocean with fear in their eyes. All of this was
purely formed from Spiritual Energy? It formed an entire actual ocean, just how
frightening was that?

Furthermore, what made their hearts jolt was the fact that they seemed to currently
be in this Spiritual Energy ocean.

At the thought of that, the faces of Shen Cangsheng and the rest grew pale. Even if
this Spiritual Energy ocean wasn’t controlled by anyone, the pressure itself was
more than enough to suffocate them.

Mu Chen swept his eyes as he realised that there were three similar sphere of
light, surrounding the three other teams. At this moment, they were also looking
around at this unfamiliar place.

“In ten breaths time, the light shield that is protecting all of you will shatter.
The end of this Spiritual Energy ocean is right above you, and in here, you are all
allowed to execute any means you have. As long as you are able to reach the end,
you will be able to walk out of the Mirror of Judgement. Similarly, the teams that
a single member could not walk out will lose their qualifications.”

When Mu Chen was looking around, a robust voice suddenly rang out in their ears, it
was the voice of Dean Tiansheng.

Hearing his voice, the eyes of Mu Chen and the rest narrowed as their bodies tensed
up.

Ten breath’s of time passed in a flash as the atmosphere within the light sphere
made them feel suffocated.

Crack.

When ten breaths of time passed, the lights surrounding them dimmed as a cracking
noise resounded, turning into sparks of light as the sphere dissipated.

As the light sphere shattered, the dreadful Spiritual Energy ocean swept forth,
engulfing the five of them with the fearsome Spiritual Energy pressure that was
mountain-trembling and ocean-rolling.

On the surface of Mu Chen’s body, black lightning burst out in nearly an instant as
it flickered, he had clearly activated his Lightning God’s Physique. But even so,
he still felt an instant of heaviness on his body as the terrifying pressure swept
towards him from all directions, as if it was trying to tear his body into shreds
from the pressure.

Beside him, Shen Cangsheng, Li Xuantong and Su Xuan had already circulated the
Spiritual Energy in their bodies, forming a barrier on the surface of their skin.
However, their bodies still felt tens of feet down, and their faces were a little
red.

Only Luo Li was able to keep up with Mu Chen.

“What powerful Spiritual Energy pressure.” Luo Li also wore a heavy expression, but
fortunately, the Spiritual Energy ocean wasn’t deliberately controlled to deal with
them. Otherwise, they would suffer heavy injuries in an instant.

Mu Chen nodded in agreement as he looked into the distance, there was spiritual
light as the three other teams had clearly used their full strength to resist the
pressure of this Spiritual Energy ocean.

“Let’s charge!”

Mu Chen looked above, but the end could not be seen from the chaotic colour. Looks
like it isn’t an easy task to get out of this Spiritual Energy ocean.

It didn’t matter how hard it was to get their way there or what would happen next,
they had to leave this place, first.

“Okay.” Luo Li lightly nodded her head.

Looking at it, Mu Chen inhaled a mouthful of air as the black lightning radiated
even more on the surface of his body. On his chest, six lightning runes appeared at
rapid speed as he stepped on the empty ground, a wave of air swept out as the
liquid of Spiritual Energy exploded. At the same time, his figure was like black
lightning as he charged up.

Black lightning was being released around him to resist the terrifying pressure
coming from the Spiritual Energy ocean.

Luo Li followed behind Mu Chen as the Spiritual Energy on the surface of her body
rapidly flowed. She was using a clever method to negate a part of the pressure and
maintained her speed.

Not far away from the two, Shen Cangsheng and the other two clenched their teeth as
they closely followed behind. This place made them feel as if they were deep in the
mud as the Spiritual Energy in their bodies was being rapidly exhausted.

Far away, the three teams had also moved, fifteen light silhouettes were shuttling
in the Spiritual Energy ocean, travelling at a rapid speed towards the end of the
ocean.

That scene was clear to those outside the Mirror of Judgement, there were twenty
light silhouettes that were quickly tearing through the chaotic Spiritual Energy
ocean.

Although they weren’t present in it, they could also sense the dreadful Spiritual
Energy pressure emitted from the Mirror of Judgement, which made them feel inwardly
startled. If it were them, they would probably not be able to move an inch forth,
not to mention about reaching the end.

Up in midair, the Five Great Deans were also staring at the Mirror of Judgement,
but each of them had a different expression in their eyes as they looked at the
twenty light silhouettes.

“Haha, I wonder how many people will be able to walk out of the Mirror of Judgement
this time?” Dean Tiansong of the Azure Sky Spiritual Academy smiled as he spoke
with interest.

“It’s not so easy to walk out of the Sea of Judgement.”

Dean Tiansheng faintly smiled as his abstract eyes were looking into the clear
mirror as he slowly spoke, “I believe the number of people that could walk out from
it won’t exceed the fingers on one’s hand…”
Chapter 613 – Miserable Loss
Whoosh!

Ten-plus light silhouettes were like fishes, flashing in the chaotic Spiritual
Energy ocean with boundless Spiritual Energy fluctuating around them, resisting the
dreadful pressure that was coming from all directions.

Compared to the speed outside, those ten-plus light silhouettes were clearly
slower.

The Spiritual Energy pressure of this ocean had reached a terrifying level. If one
wished to move forward, they would have to exhaust a large amount of their
Spiritual Energy.

Thus, even if the four teams were peak experts, it was impossible for them to
travel in the Spiritual Energy ocean without any obstructions.

Because of the Spiritual Energy pressure, there were members amongst the four teams
that had started to reveal their strength in just a few minutes. Just like Mu
Chen’s team, Mu Chen and Luo Li charge in the front while Shen Cangsheng and Li
Xuantong followed ten feet behind and Su Xuan was after them.

Although Shen Cangsheng and the rest had executed their Spiritual Energy to the
limits, they still could not catch up to the two.

Likewise, the three other teams also had similar distances dragged apart.

Su Xuan was last, her face was flushed red at this moment as the Spiritual Energy
on the surface of her body also became chaotic. She could feel that her Spiritual
Energy couldn’t hold out much longer.

“Do you need help?” Mu Chen transmitted his voice with his Spiritual Energy to Su
Xuan’s ears.

Su Xuan clenched her teeth as she shook her head, “Looks like I’ll have to drop out
of the team. The rest will depend on you guys, don’t bother stopping because of
me.”
She knew very well what she had to do, not to burden Mu Chen and the rest. After
all, this test didn’t require all of them to pass through the Sea of Judgement.
Only one of them had to make it out, and they would succeed.

Hearing her reply, Mu Chen and the rest hesitated for a brief moment, before
nodding their heads in the end. Right now wasn’t the time for them to stop and help
their teammates.

“Then, we’ll make a move first, you be careful.”

Mu Chen spoke as he inhaled a deep breath, the black lightning on the surface of
his body radiated with more brilliance, he stomped his foot, causing the liquid
Spiritual Energy beneath to explode as his speed increased.

Luo Li also quietly formed seals with her hands as a flowing light film was formed
on the surface of her body. Although her method wasn’t as overbearing as Mu Chen’s,
it was ingenious as it negated part of the Spiritual Energy pressure to maintain
her speed.

Looking at the scene from the back, Shen Cangsheng and Li Xuantong bitterly smiled.
Although their situation was slightly better compared to Su Xuan, the Spiritual
Energy in their bodies was rapidly being depleted. This also made them understand a
fact, they would never be able to be on the same echelon as Mu Chen and Luo Li.

Rustle!

The four of them formed into two different echelons, one group at the front while
the other remained behind.

A distance away, there was also a similar clear distinction. However, only the
Captains of the three teams were in the first echelon.

Whoosh!

The sounds of the liquid Spiritual Energy being swept across was like the sound of
water flowing as it resounded by their ears. Everyone’s faces were filled with
graveness as they maintained their alert in high speed. Although this Sea of
Judgement looked rather calm, it gave them a feeling of unease.

As they thought about it, this Sea of Judgement might not be as simple as it
looked.

Mu Chen’s gaze faintly flickered as he stared at the calm Sea of Judgement and, in
a split second, his pupils abruptly shrank as he vaguely sensed the surrounding
liquid Spiritual Energy becoming more and more violent.

“Be cautious!” Mu Chen reminded with a heavy voice.

Just when he finished speaking, Luo Li’s face changed as she hastily said, “Watch
out below!”

Mu Chen’s heart went cold as he saw a huge Spiritual Energy vortex suddenly appear
at the bottom of the Spiritual Energy ocean as he swept his gaze. It was like a
huge mouth opening that was devouring at their direction.

A powerful suction force came from the Spiritual Energy vortex, causing their speed
to gradually slow down.
Shen Cangsheng and Li Xuantong were located below, and their faces instantly
changed as they felt, under the suction force of the vortex, their speed becoming
as slow as a snail. Not only that, they were also slowly moving back bit by bit.

“Damn it!”

The faces of Shen Cangsheng and Li Xuantong instantly turned ugly as they
circulated their Spiritual Energy to the limits. Despite that, they saw the vortex
rotating faster to the point that it was even getting close to them.

“You go first!”

Li Xuantong furrowed his brows as he grabbed onto Shen Cangsheng’s arm and threw
him forth, whereas he was sent flying back from the opposing force and was devoured
by the vortex.

Borrowing that force, Shen Cangsheng was able to break free of the Spiritual Energy
vortex for the time being. However, he still had a bitter expression on his face as
that method was just a temporary delay.

Whoosh! Whoosh!

The instant Mu Chen and his team encountered trouble, so did the other teams. Large
Spiritual Energy vortices were like oceanic beasts as the burst of suction forces
devoured all those silhouettes behind.

Everyone felt their scalps were a little numb at this moment as they knew that the
Sea of Judgement was finally revealing its power.

Rustle!

Everyone accelerated their speed to the limits as they rapidly travelled through
the liquid Spiritual Energy as they tried their best to break free from being
devoured by the pressing vortices.

Shen Cangsheng had also pushed his Spiritual Energy to his limit, his face was
flushed red as the boundless Spiritual Energy that was spread around him was
pushing away the pressuring Spiritual Energy liquid.

Just as he was trying his best to resist, he finally broke free from the
approaching Spiritual Energy vortex. The instant the suction force disappeared,
Shen Cangsheng felt relieved and couldn’t help himself from cursing, “That damnable
thing!”

“Watch out!”

However, just when he felt relieved, Mu Chen’s bark suddenly rang in his ears.

Shen Cangsheng turned his head, he saw the chaotic Spiritual Energy ripples at his
right formed into a peculiar vortex, and he was devoured by it before he could even
react.

Mu Chen and Luo Li exchanged looks, since they never expected the two of them to be
the only ones left in less than ten minutes. But fortunately, the loss of the other
teams was even greater, only the four Captains were left from a total of fifteen
people.

But at this point in time, they didn’t have the mood to think about that as they
could sense that this Sea of Judgement had been thoroughly awakened. Violent liquid
Spiritual Energy started to sweep in multiple layers as densely-packed Spiritual
Energy vortices appeared. The vortices were like huge mouths as they tried to
devour them.

At this point in time, it was tough to advance. Not only did they have to resist
the dreadful Spiritual Energy pressure, they still had to be alert against the
Spiritual Energy vortices that randomly appeared around them.

Under this harsh environment, even Mu Chen had his forehead covered with beads of
sweat in less than five minutes.

And outside of the Mirror of Judgement, many people were dumbfounded as they looked
at the five miserable figures in the Sea of Judgement. There would be Spiritual
Energy vortices appearing beside them from time to time, making them frightened as
they watched. It truly was not an easy task to pass through the Sea of Judgement.

“Shit, Mu Chen fell into the Spiritual Energy vortex as well.” In the Northern
Heavens Spiritual Academy region, Ye Qingling’s face abruptly change when she saw
Mu Chen’s advancing figure being devoured by a vortex before he could even evade.

“A Spiritual Energy vortex of such level is still insufficient to trap him, don’t
worry.” Ling Xi spoke.

As she spoke, Ye Qingling and the rest saw brilliant black lightning suddenly
exploded from Mu Chen’s body as his speed surged, escaping from the Spiritual
Energy vortex and only then, did they feel relieved.

“However, the Spiritual Energy vortices will only get stronger and stronger. If he
were to fall into one again, it might be troublesome.” Ling Xi slowly spoke as her
gorgeous eyes looked at the Mirror of Judgement.

When Ye Qingling and the rest heard her words, they couldn’t help having their
hearts lifted.

Within the chaotic Sea of Judgement.

“Are you alright?” Luo Li quickly inquired as she looked at Mu Chen, who had just
escaped from the Spiritual Energy vortex.

Mu Chen shook his head as seven lightning runes appeared on his chest. Clearly, he
had pushed his Lightning God’s Physique to the limits just to break free from the
Spiritual Energy vortex.

“Be careful, the Spiritual Energy vortices are getting stronger and stronger.” Mu
Chen reminded. The scale of the vortex that appeared earlier had already reached a
few hundred feet, the Spiritual Energy in it was violent to a fearsome extent. If
he were to fall in it again, even if he could make it out, it would definitely be
after a huge exhaustion.

Even he might not be able to last long if it occurred a few more times.

“Their situation shouldn’t be too good as well.” Luo Li spoke as she glanced at the
three silhouettes in the distance.

Mu Chen nodded his head as black lightning exploded beneath his feet, increasing
his speed. Seeing his actions, Luo Li immediately followed.

The two of them helped one another, and although it was alarmingly dangerous, it
was fortunately only alarming and not dangerous. Vaguely, their speeds were ahead
of the other three.

In the distance away, Ji Xuan tapped his toe as he mysteriously dodged a Spiritual
Energy vortex and he gave a dark glance at Mu Chen and Luo Li’s silhouettes.

Right now, amongst the four teams, only the Northern Heavens Spiritual Academy had
two people remaining. If the two of them could maintain it, perhaps it might not be
too beneficial for the rest of them.

Ji Xuan’s gaze flashed as he looked at another direction with an obscure gaze where
Xue Tianhe was at.

The gazes of those two intertwined for a brief moment and unnoticeably nodded their
heads, a smear of eerie chill flashed across their eyes.

Whoosh!

Mu Chen and Luo Li’s figures travelled like fishes swimming in the chaotic Sea of
Judgement. Their silhouettes were extremely agile as they instantly flashed,
accelerating their speeds at the same time as they dodged the endlessly appearing
Spiritual Energy vortices.

However, the pressure from the chaotic ocean was simply too powerful as any action
would exhaust much more Spiritual Energy compared to outside. Thus, even the
condition of Mu Chen and Luo Li was greatly reduced from the high depletion.

Sweat started to form on the forehead of those two, but the two of them still kept
high concentration as they didn’t dare to loosen up as the number of Spiritual
Energy vortices was constantly increasing in numbers. Furthermore, the frequency of
them appearing was also increasingly faster, making it inscrutable.

The moment they fall into a Spiritual Energy vortex, even if they could break free
from it, it would still exhaust a large amount of their Spiritual Energy, and the
end of this Sea of Judgement still couldn’t be seen. The moment their Spiritual
Energy was fully depleted, it was basically impossible to advance any further.

Poof.

Another Spiritual Energy vortex with the size of around a hundred feet appeared on
the right in front of them, the vortex was spinning as though it was like a mouth
of a savage beast that was trying to devour the two of them.

Black lightning exploded off the surface of Mu Chen’s body as he flashed past it at
lightning speed, dodging the range of the vortex.

Whereas Luo Li stood on the Luo God Sword as piercing Sword Intent was being
emitted, the sharpness of it even tore apart the Spiritual Energy, creating an
empty space which allowed her to travel through.

After dodging that vortex, Mu Chen lightly spat out a mouthful of air. After
maintaining this for half an hour, his body was getting more and more used to the
Spiritual Energy pressure. But even so, despite the strength of his physical body,
he felt faint stinging pain on his skin, which the rest was probably withstanding
with their robust Spiritual Energy.

But even so, it wasn’t a permanent solution as he could sense that the surrounding
pressure was rapidly getting stronger and stronger as time passed.

Furthermore, they did not dare to use any intensive method when resisting the
pressure as the Spiritual Energy here was extremely chaotic, the instant there was
an intense Spiritual Energy fluctuation, it would only fuel a larger vortex.

Thus, they were all exceptionally careful as they advanced.

“The Spiritual Energy pressure here is getting stronger, perhaps the exit will
appear soon.” Luo Li spoke in a soft voice as she moved closer to Mu Chen.

Even with their strength, it was getting hard to endure the Spiritual Energy
pressure. However, the Five Great Deans would not have set up a test that exceeded
their limits. Otherwise, it was basically impossible for anyone to escape the Sea
of Judgement.

Mu Chen lightly nodded his head, his shifted his gaze in an instant, looking a
short distance away at his left and right, where Ji Xuan, Wen Qingxuan and Xue
Tianhe were rapidly advancing.

Due to the reason of the vortices becoming more and more densely-packed, the
distance between the five of them was also pulled closer.

Wen Qingxuan also took notice of them as well as she waved her hand towards their
direction with a charming smile on her face, which was extremely attractive.

Luo Li returned her smile, and so did Mu Chen.

The silhouettes of the five people had turned into streaks of light as they rapidly
advanced with all sorts of methods. But, generally speaking, there wasn’t a
considerable distance between the five of them as they chased after one another.

Mu Chen had also exerted his Lightning God’s Physique to his limits as black
lightning was constantly flickering on the surface of his body. However, the
lightning did not last for a long time, before it was suppressed back into his body
by the powerful Spiritual Energy pressure, sending piercing pains to himself.

In the beginning, the piercing pain made Mu Chen feel extremely annoyed, since it
prevented him from being focused on sensing those vortices that instantly appeared,
causing numerous situations where he was nearly sucked into one of those Spiritual
Energy vortices.

However, that frustration only lasted for a brief moment, before he was startled
when he vaguely felt a sour numbing sensation from the piercing pain, it was
similar to when he was refining his physique with lightning.

Thus, he felt fine increments in the strength of his physique from the sour numbing
sensation.

That discovery made him rather startled, and after further examination, he
understood what was going on. It turns out that when the black lightning on the
surface was being pressured back into his body, the lightning would travel through
his muscles along with the pressure. It was precisely this refining method that
made him feel the sour numbing sensation.

“So that’s how it is.”

Mu Chen suddenly saw the light of it as he never expected for the pressure to have
such a miraculous effect.

“I can use it to refine my physique a little to increase my strength.” Mu Chen’s

heart moved as he intended to try and use this energy to increase his strength a
little. Thinking about it, he no longer hesitated as he slightly focused and loosen
up his body to resist the Spiritual Energy pressure.

Just when Mu Chen was gradually submerging into his mind to use the pressure to
refine his body, he failed to notice that as Ji Xuan and Xue Tianhe were dodging
the vortices, they were secretly getting closer to them.

They got closer very faintly to the point that even Luo Li had not noticed them as
they had been travelling at high speed trying to dodge the endless Spiritual Energy
vortices.

Thus, when Luo Li started to notice that Ji Xuan and Xue Tianhe had been getting
closer and closer to them, they were already a hundred feet away from them.

Caution rose in Luo Li’s eyes. Regarding being cautious, she wasn’t any inferior to
Mu Chen. After all, she was the next Empress of the Luo God Clan, regardless of
anything; thus, her guard for others was only superior and not weaker to Mu Chen.

But, clearly, Ji Xuan and Xue Tianhe came prepared as they smiled the moment they
saw the caution in Luo Li’s eyes, except for the fact that their smiles were a
little vicious and eerie.

Boom!

Boundless Spiritual Energy burst forth from the two of them in a near instant. Due
to the movement of their Spiritual Energy, the Sea of Judgement within a thousand
feet in radius started to go violent.

The Spiritual Energy liquid in this region was extremely violent to begin with, and
due to the commotion, it was like adding oil to the fire as an area of a thousand
feet in radius started to tremble.

Buzz! Buzz!

Spiritual Energy fluctuations rippled out as a colossal vortex was quickly forming,
the size of it nearly spread out to this vast region.

Luo Li’s face changed at this moment.

Whoosh!

However, before she could take any action, two surges of Spiritual Energies swept
out from Ji Xuan and Xue Tianhe’s hands. However, the two surges of Spiritual
Energy wasn’t aimed at Mu Chen or Luo Li, but on themselves.

Boom! Boom!

Spiritual Energy exploded as a dozen vortices were quickly forming around Mu Chen
and Luo Li, instantly engulfing them. Furthermore, due to the reason that the
vortices were too close to each other, they were rapidly fusing together, forming
into a gigantic vortex.

“You guys!”

Wen Qingxuan noticed their actions at this moment, and her face changed. The size
of the Spiritual Energy vortex was too big that it nearly engulfed all of them.

Rustle!
Ji Xuan and Xue Tianhe retreated, and at the same time, they were constantly
flicking their fingers as numerous Spiritual Energy waves were shot out, making
this already violent region even more dreadful.

At this Sea of Judgement, the Spiritual Energy was exceptionally sensitive and
violent, adding to the fact that they timed their actions at the right time and
acted out without any hesitation when Mu Chen and Luo Li were in the most sensitive
area.

The two of them were extremely vicious as they unleashed the Spiritual Energy in
their bodies without any restraints, causing the size of that vortex to be well
over a thousand feet in radius, forming a super vortex.

Furthermore, all five of them was in the range of the vortex; however, Mu Chen and
Luo Li were in the central area of it.

“Let’s go!”

Seeing as the Spiritual Energy vortex was formed, Ji Xuan and Xue Tianhe both made
a grasp with their hands without any pause as an ancient jade appeared in their
hands, before immediately crushing them.

The two ancient jades were crushed as the space around the two of them faintly
distorted, and in a flash, their silhouettes disappeared. When they reappeared,
they were already a thousand feet away and dodged the engulfing radius of the super
vortex.

Clearly, the two of them were well-prepared.

At the same time, Wen Qingxuan glanced at them in hatred as she formed seals with
her hands. Golden light spread out and instantly formed into large golden wings
behind her.

Boom!

The wings flapped as her speed accelerated, escaping the restriction of the super
vortex as she flew out. Her position was towards the edge of it, and thus, she
didn’t have to spend too much energy to escape from it.

When she escaped from it, she anxiously looked at the centre of the vortex as the
two silhouettes were becoming more and more blurred.

Mu Chen, who was still submerged in his mind, was startled awake in the central
region of the vortex. He looked around and instantly understood what was going on
as his face turned dark.

Those two fellows are have not given up their vicious designs.

“What should we do?” Luo Li had constantly been resisting the terrifying suction
force coming from the super vortex as she spoke towards Mu Chen in an anxious tone,
“If this goes on, we’ll be sucked into it.”

Mu Chen deeply inhaled a mouthful of air as his black pupils were filled with
chill.

“It’s already impossible to resist the suction force, and if this goes on, we’ll be
finished.” Mu Chen continued further, “I’ll send you out!”
Luo Li was slightly startled as she bit her rosy lips, “You still have a fight with
Ji Xuan, and you shouldn’t be absent from it this time. So I’ll send you out!”

As she spoke, she held onto Mu Chen’s wrist, but before she could exert any force,
Mu Chen flipped around and held onto hers instead as a smear of a smile appeared on
his face.

“Indeed, this battle belongs to me, but trust me, I am not that weak… wait for me
to come out!”

Spiritual Energy exploded from Mu Chen’s palm as the force pushed Luo Li out. The
girl’s crystal-clear eyes were staring at Mu Chen, before she clenched her teeth in
the end as her foot tapped on the empty ground beneath her. A torrential piercing
Sword Aura burst out of the Luo God Sword. The Sword Aura wrapped around her
silhouette as it tore through the layers of Spiritual Energy liquid and escaped the
super vortex.

When Luo Li escaped from the super vortex, Mu Chen’s figure was sucked into the
Spiritual Energy vortex from the dreadful suction force as he disappeared

Chapter 615 –
Best 4 That heart-stirring scene in the Sea of Judgement was clearly shown on the
surface of the mirror as innumerable students had their eyes widened from the
sudden changes that followed with an earth-shattering commotion. “That Ji Xuan and
Xue Tianhe are so vicious!”“What vicious method and with that, Mu Chen is actually
eliminated, he was a potential Champion…”“It can’t be considered vicious.

After all, Dean Tiansheng had mentioned before that any means can be used.

Mu Chen can only blame his own carelessness. ”“But there’s no honour in winning
through this method. ”“What a pity…”Countless clamours rose, some showed disdain,
and there was some showing support.

In an instant, this vast space became rowdy. “That Ji Xuan is really shameless!”
Naturally, the students of the Northern Heavens Spiritual Academy were the most
enraged as every single one of them had an ashen expression from anger.

Originally, their Northern Heavens Spiritual Academy had the advantage as Mu Chen
and Luo Li still remained, but now that Mu Chen was being schemed at, only Luo Li
remained
thus, their advantage no longer existed. “What despicable fellows!” Yu Xi raged as
her face was filled with anger. Ye Qingling and the rest softly sighed.

Who could have expected Ji Xuan to be so despicable to attack at such a moment?

However, they too, understood that it wasn’t a violation of the rules. “No worries,
even if Big Brother Mu Chen can’t take part in the next battle, Big Sister Luo Li
still remains, she definitely won’t let Ji Xuan succeed. ” Sun’er comforted
everyone. Ling Xi’s brows were also slightly knitted at this moment, since she
could feel the pressure coming from the super vortex as she looked at the Mirror of
Judgement.

Not even a Third Grade Spirit Disaster might be able to escape from that vortex.
And Mu Chen’s strength was only at the First Grade Spirit Disaster, the possibility
of him making it out was too dim. “That Ji Xuan is a disaster. ” Ling Xi’s face was
cold as a smear of killing intent flashed across her eyes. The entire region went
into a clamour at this instance.
 When the Five Great Deans witnessed that scene, Dean Tai Cang’s face was a little
dark as he coldly looked at Dean Tiansheng, who had a faint smile hanging on his
face. Dean Tai Cang’s hands were tightly clenched in his sleeves as he suppressed
the rage in his heart bit by bit, since he knew that there was nothing he could do,
even if he raged.

Although Ji Xuan’s method was despicable, it was still within the rules. “We can
only depend on Luo Li, then. ”Dean Tai Cang softly sighed in his heart.

Fortunately, their Northern Heavens Spiritual Academy wasn’t fully kicked out.

Although they had lost Mu Chen, they still had Luo Li and the girl’s background
wasn’t weak as well.

Furthermore, she hid her strength, so there was still a chance for their academy.

…The Sea of Judgement. Wen Qingxuan was outside the super vortex as she anxiously
looked at it.

Not far away from her, Ji Xuan and Xue Tianhe stood with faint smiles on their
faces as their teamwork this time was perfect. Whoosh!As they smiled, a piercing
break of wind came from the vortex, and a silhouette tore her way out, and in a
flash, she appeared outside the super vortex, it was Luo Li. Ji Xuan and Xue Tianhe
were a little surprised when they saw Luo Li making it out, but their expressions
remained unchanged as they had already achieved their motive of dealing with Mu
Chen. “Luo Li!”Wen Qingxuan rejoiced when she saw Luo Li making it out. Rustle!
However, Luo Li’s face was covered in chill at this moment.

She did not reply to Wen Qingxuan as she formed sword seals with her hand, and her
Luo God Sword flew out.

Two extremely sharp Sword Auras tore their way through the boundless Spiritual
Energy liquid as they flew towards the two people. The gazes of Ji Xuan and Xue
Tianhe changed when they saw Luo Li attacking without any words.

They waved their sleeves as boundless Spiritual Energy swept out, colliding
together with the Sword Aura. Boom!Spiritual Energy ripples wreaked havoc as it
split the Spiritual Energy liquid in this region apart. Luo Li’s face was covered
in frost as she grasped her hand, the Luo God Sword appeared in her hand as she
unleashed her powerful Spiritual Energy.

Clearly, she had intended to go all-out. “Luo Li, do you think that you can
confront the both of us with just you alone?” Ji Xuan spoke in a dark tone as he
saw how forceful Luo Li was being. “Haha, no wonder you are the next Empress of the
Luo God Clan, that’s some guts you have there. ” Xue Tianhe eerily smiled as he
looked at Luo Li with mockery.

If the latter intended to fight the both of them with her alone, she probably might
not even gain any advantage, even though she possesses the Luo God Sword. “Luo Li,
don’t be rash. ”Wen Qingxuan flew over as she appeared beside Luo Li, holding onto
the latter’s arm as she spoke seriously, “This is not the place to fight. ”Luo Li’s
gaze was cold as she stared at the two people.

She tightly gripped the Luo God Sword as killing intent was unleashed from her body
without any restraints. “Luo Li, all sorts of means is allowed in the Sea of
Judgement, he can only be blamed for being careless to end up in that situation.
”When he saw the coldness in Luo Li’s pupils, rage rose a little in his heart as he
sneered, “I’m doing it for his own sake.
If he doesn’t even have this little mindset, he can only be a small figure, and the
path of an expert is not for him. ”“Do you really think that I don't dare to act
here?” Luo Li’s clear ice-cold voice had no emotion as the concentrated cold intent
in her voice made the surrounding liquid Spiritual Energy fluctuate. “Ji Xuan, if
you guys want to fight here, then we’ll give it a go!” Wen Qingxuan spoke as she
made a grasping gesture and a golden war spear appeared. She was also disgusted by
Ji Xuan and Xue Tianhe’s earlier method and adding the layer of relationship she
had with Luo Li, Wen Qingxuan would definitely not allow the two of them to gang up
on Luo Li. Seeing the posture of the two girls, Ji Xuan slightly narrowed his eyes.

He was still rather fearful of the two girls before him, if they were to fight in
this Sea of Judgement, not a single one of them could escape if they created even
more dreadful Spiritual Energy vortices and he wasn’t willing to halt his steps
here. “Haha, Mu Chen does have some good fortune with girls. ” Xue Tianhe laughed
indifferently, containing a little mockery.

Naturally, deep within his mockery, there was the unavoidable jealousy of a man.

After all, the two girls before him were so outstanding to the point that even he
was moved, and right now they were protecting Mu Chen, which made him feel uneasy.
“If he is that capable, then let him charge out himself.

Otherwise, he won’t even have a chance to fight me. ”Ji Xuan faintly smiled as he
glanced at Luo Li, “If you want to help him fight back, then wait till we’re out of
the Mirror of Judgement.

No matter what you want, I will accompany you till the end. ”When he finished
speaking, Ji Xuan no longer spoke any further as he turned around and flew towards
the end of the Sea of Judgement at high speed and Xue Tianhe immediately followed
behind upon seeing the former’s actions. Seeing the departure of the two, Wen
Qingxuan stored her golden war spear as she helplessly sighed, while looking at Luo
Li’s ice-cold face.

Who could have expected Mu Chen’s steps to stop here?“That fellow…” Wen Qingxuan
tilted her head as she glanced at the super vortex.

The suction force from it made her expression heavy.

If she were to fall into it, even she might not even be able to break free. “He
will break free. ” Luo Li said softly. Wen Qingxuan bitterly smiled and didn’t know
how to reply to her.

If any of them were to fall into the super vortex, the chances of making it out
were too low. “Doesn’t matter if he can make it out, we should get going, or are
you going to let Ji Xuan seize the Championship?” Wen Qingxuan spoke as she looked
at Luo Li. Luo Li narrowed her eyes as she looked at the super vortex and nodded
her head in the end.

Indeed, it wasn’t the time for her to stop right now.

If Mu Chen couldn’t make it out, then she would have to obstruct Ji Xuan. Luo Li
bit her lips as she loosened her grip on the Luo God Sword, stepping onto it as
Sword Aura whistled, carrying her flying figure out as her long radiant hair
lightly fluttered, the scene was extremely gorgeous. Wen Qingxuan also glanced at
the super vortex with a complicated look, before following from behind. There
weren’t any more waves in the Sea of Judgement after that.

Although the pressure was getting stronger, the four of them possessed
extraordinary strength after all
thus, they were able to endure it. Another ten minutes passed under the endurance,
and a peculiar fluctuation appeared in the chaotic ocean.

A lustrous door appeared at the end. Looking at the light door, the four people
felt relieved as they finally made it to the end.

Otherwise, their Spiritual Energy might be thoroughly depleted. Whoosh!The four

streaks of light flew as they charged into the light door without any hesitation.
The Mirror of Judgement quietly floated on top of the Golden Battle Stage.
TssssssssiiiUnder the innumerable gazes, brilliant light burst from the Mirror of
Judgement as four silhouettes flew out from the light and hovered in the air. When
the four silhouettes appeared, mountain-trembling and ocean-rolling cheers rang out
between the heavens and earth. Four whole teams entered the Mirror of Judgement,
and in the end, only four people made it out! Such a cruel competition trembled
their hearts. “Indeed, Mu Chen isn’t here…”There were sighs of regret when many
people did not see a silhouette amongst the four silhouettes.

Who could have expected that a dark horse without any obstructions before him
would fall in the end?“Next… I’m afraid that it will be the Battle of the Best 4.
”Countless gazes shot up into the sky, at the four silhouettes that hovered in the
air.

When they exited the Mirror of Judgement, their exhausted Spiritual Energy had
instantly recovered.

The speed was several times faster compared to before they entered.

Clearly, coming out of the Mirror of Judgement was beneficial to them. Luo Li
stood on her sword and under the earth-shattering cheers, her gaze was fixed onto
the Mirror of Judgement, before she let out a sigh in the end and slowly clenched
her fist. Mu Chen, you must make it out.

You have waited three years for this battle, so you must not be absent!

Chapter 616 –
Battle of the Best 4 CreeeeaaakDeep in the super vortex, the Spiritual Energy
liquid was rapidly spinning, the dreadful power of it could even tear a Third Grade
Spirit Disaster to shreds. At the same time, there was light being emitted from the
depths of the vortex, a silhouette was seen in a seated posture as black lightning
was violently flickering on the surface of his body, there were also vague
thunderous sounds spreading out. The silhouette that was seated in the super vortex
was Mu Chen. Right now, his situation was clearly not optimistic because he had
pushed his Lightning God’s Physique to the limits.

But even so, he was in a miserable state due to the dreadful pressure coming from
all directions. Fresh blood could clearly be seen oozing out from the pores of his
skin, it was a sign that his physique could not withstand that pressure.

Even with his Septa Rune Lightning Physique, he was having trouble with the energy
from the super vortex. Poof. A mouthful of blood spewed from his mouth as fresh
blood flowed from the corner of his lips, adding a hint of savage touch to his
handsome face.

He extended his hand as he slowly wiped the blood off the corner of his lips. His
black pupils were filled with a chill, there wasn’t the slightest bit of fear
contained within them. “Indeed, it’s a little hard to endure. ” Mu Chen’s voice was
a little hoarse due to the terrifying pressure, as if his throat was injured. He
slightly raised his head, every single scene that was captured by his eyes was the
liquid form of Spiritual Energy rotating at high speed with terrifying pressure
being emitted from it. He was able to feel the intense piercing pain coming from
every single direction of his body, and the sensation was gradually getting
stronger, showing that even with the strength of his physique, even he might not be
able to last for long. The instant he fell into unconsciousness, he would be
transported out of the Mirror of Judgement and thus, losing his chance to
participate in the Battle of the Best 4, it was a situation that he would
absolutely not let happen. “Since my strength is not strong enough…”The youth
raised his head.

Due to his age, he still looked a little green

however, there was firmness between his brows that was rarely seen on a youth’s
face. He pursed his lips as he clenched his fist, his gaze also sharpened with a
frosted look. “Then, let’s get stronger!”The main reason why he had Luo Li leave
first was due to him not wanting her to enter such dangerous grounds, whereas he
remained.

But he still had other thoughts in his heart. Although the Spiritual Energy
pressure of this Sea of Judgement was terrifying, it also seemed to be beneficial
to his cultivation under that pressure.

But, naturally, the requirement was him being able to endure the pain brought from
that pressure. In this vortex, opportunity and danger existed at the same time.

Using the threat of near-death, a person could reach his peak, and at that time, it
was naturally the best chance for a breakthrough. Seeking wealth within danger, in
this world, there wasn’t any strength that came without any price, this was what Mu
Chen had always believed.

In the Spiritual Road, the Northern Spiritual Realm and the Northern Heavens
Spiritual Academy, the reason why he was able to stand out and succeed was not
because of that so-called talent of his, but sharpening himself through the
dangers. “Luo Li, I will definitely not be absent this time. ”Mu Chen lightly
smiled and, shortly after, he slowly closed his eyes as both of his hands formed
seals, and at the same time, the black lightning that covered his entire body
rapidly disappeared. As the lightning disappeared, the torrent of violent liquid
Spiritual Energy rushed over along with dreadful impact. The horrifying pain came,
and Mu Chen could feel his body being torn apart by the violent impacts.

No matter how intense the pain was, he still retained a strand of consciousness.

Black lightning constantly travelled through his muscles and bones as the black
lightning, which was pressured by the dreadful pressure to the point that there was
nowhere else to go, was forced back into his muscles and bones. As the intense pain
continued, Mu Chen’s flesh, bones and meridians were getting stronger bit by bit
under the refinement of black lightning. The youth sat within the darkness as his
body was gradually being covered by the fresh blood that was oozing from his skin,
forming into thick layers of dried blood, completely covering him. All sorts of
fluctuations were cut off, as if the vitality of the figure within the dried blood
was erased. When Mu Chen was engulfed by darkness and intense pain, the atmosphere
outside the Mirror of Judgement rose to the limits by the mountain-trembling and
ocean-rolling cheers. Countless people were looking at the four figures on the
Golden Battle Stage with excited gazes.

No matter how many dark horses appeared along the way, there were only four that
were able to stand there in the end. They represented the pinnacle of all Spiritual
Academies. Even if someone had used a method that they did not acknowledge, they
inwardly sighed in the end from their strength and talent.
Comparing their achievements to many other geniuses, they were dull. “Mu Chen
actually lost. ” Outside the Golden Battle Stage, Wu Ling couldn’t help sighing as
he looked at the four silhouettes on the Battle Stage with a slightly pale
complexion. Behind him, Wu Yingying was biting her rosy lips as she had no mood.

She was blankly looking at the Mirror of Judgement as if she was expecting
something. “Stop looking…” Wu Ling bitterly laughed as he continued, “Mu Chen is
already very formidable, he was only schemed by Ji Xuan and Xue Tianhe.

Those two fellows are extremely powerful, and it doesn’t matter if they did it
intentionally or not, it isn’t injustice for Mu Chen to fall for it. ”“Furthermore,
Luo Li is still there, and she is not simple.

Even I might not be her opponent if we fight seriously.

With her present, it will not be easy for Ji Xuan and Xue Tianhe to obtain the
Championship. ”Wu Yingying listlessly nodded her head with a dejected look, causing
Wu Ling to roll his eyes upon looking at her.

Even when he lost to Xue Tianhe earlier, she didn’t look so hurt. “Mu Chen…”Tang
Qian’er’s face turned pale at the region occupied by the Myriad Phoenix Spiritual
Academy.

She found it a little hard to believe that this youth, who, despite being a little
younger than her, was so dependable and never admits defeat, would halt his steps
here. Although that youth always had a gentle expression and smile on his face, she
knew that it wasn’t because he could turn a blind eye to all those setbacks, it was
that he could stand up every single time he fell and straighten his body upright.
Perhaps he could still smile from this failure, but the thought of that smile made
her feel heartache. “Mu Chen, come out, you definitely must. ” The young girl put
her hands together as she prayed in her heart. Up in midair, the Five Great Deans
were looking at the four silhouettes that came out of the Mirror of Judgement. Dean
Tai Cang sighed in his heart as he originally thought that Mu Chen could last till
the end and never imagined for such an unforeseen event to occur.

Fortunately, at least their Northern Heavens Spiritual Academy didn’t lose

completely, since Luo Li was still present. “Haha, Four Deans, now that we have
four people, I feel that we should begin the Battle of the Best 4, right?” Dean
Tiansheng smiled as he looked at the four remaining Deans. Dean Tai Cang knitted
his brows as he said, “Dean Tiansheng, aren’t you a little too quick to start the
next match?”“Haha, what is there to be quick about? Since the results are already
evident, are you perhaps waiting for someone to appear?” Dean Tiansheng laughed.

“Furthermore, according to the rules, as long as the true Champion has yet to
appear, anyone that can escape from the Mirror of Judgement can still participate
as usual. ”Dean Tai Cang understood, although he knew that the chances were small,
he was still a little unwilling in his heart.

After all, the Great Spiritual Academy Tournament this time was extremely crucial
to their Northern Heavens Spiritual Academy.

If the Champion title falls to the Saint Spiritual Academy again, they would have
the qualifications to ascend as the Academy Head, and once Dean Tiansheng held the
position of Academy Head, their academy may be kicked out of the Five Great
Academies with the excuse of poor results all these years. “Then, let’s begin.
”Dean Tai Cang had no choice but to nod his head as he had no reason to object at
this point in time. “Dean Tai Cang is indeed understanding. ” Dean Tiansheng smiled
as he looked at the four silhouettes on the Battle Stage as his thunderous and
robust voice rang out between the heavens and earth. “Firstly, I would like to
congratulate the four of you who were able to ascend to the Best 4, obtaining the
qualifications to fight for the Championship of this Great Spiritual Academy
Tournament. ”“Next up will be the Battle of the Champion.

There aren’t any rules, it doesn’t matter how you fight, the last one standing on
the Battle Stage will become the Champion. ”Rustle!Innumerable people broke out
into a commotion as their hearts shook.

It turned out that there wasn’t any lottery to determine their opponents, but
having the four of them fight amongst themselves.

Were they going for a battle royale?The gazes of those four on stage slightly
flickered. “My announcement is complete.

The main show of the tournament will now begin, the Battle of the Champion!”As Dean
Tiansheng finished his speech, everyone could feel the atmosphere on the Battle
Stage instantly tensing up. Everyone widened their eyes as all of them wished to
know how the battle royale of those four would end. Ji Xuan and Xue Tianhe
exchanged a glance in midair under the attention of everyone as they lightly
smiled, both of their figures flashed and landed on a vast Battle Stage each. Xue
Tianhe shot his gaze towards the young girl in midair, who was as cold as snow and
her silvery hair fluttered in the wind as a cold sneer was revealed in his eyes.
“Blood God Academy –
Xue Tianhe seeks the Northern Heavens Spiritual Academy’s guidance. ”On another
stage, Ji Xuan lightly smiled as well as he cupped his hands and his voice rang
out, “Saint Spiritual Academy –
Ji Xuan seeks the guidance of the Myriad Phoenix Spiritual Academy!”

Chapter 617 –
Luo Li battles Xue Tianhe “Blood God Academy –
Xue Tianhe seeks the Northern Heavens Spiritual Academy’s guidance. ”“Saint
Spiritual Academy –
Ji Xuan seeks the guidance of the Myriad Phoenix Spiritual Academy!”When the two’s
voices rang out from the vast Golden Battle Stage, a commotion broke out in this
region as innumerable people were startled in their hearts as the scene before them
clearly showed that Ji Xuan and Xue Tianhe had formed an alliance. Ji Xuan VS Wen
QingxuanXue Tianhe VS Luo LiThe battle formation caused excitement to fill the eyes
of everyone as their blood flow increased as well.

Right before their eyes, those four were all noble phoenixes and dragons among men.
“Senior Sister Wen Qingxuan, go for it! Defeat Ji Xuan!”“Luo Li go for it, our
entire Northern Heavens Spiritual Academy supports you!”“Two beauties, go for it!
We of the Nine Ridge Spiritual Academy supports the both of you!”“Our Spring
Spiritual Academy as well!”“…”An earth-shattering amount of cheers rang out between
the heavens and earth.

Truth be told, the popularity of Luo Li and Wen Qingxuan far surpassed Ji Xuan and
Xue Tianhe.

After all, there were so many Spiritual Academies here, and aside from the Saint
Spiritual Academy and a small number of people supporting the other two, the cheers
were basically one-sided for the other party. Clearly, compared to Ji Xuan and Xue
Tianhe, it undoubtedly felt better for them to support the two pleasing girls. Ji
Xuan and Xue Tianhe lightly smiled in this situation as they weren’t too surprised
by the fact that Luo Li and Wen Qingxuan were more popular than them. However, the
Battle of the Champion was not a competition to compete for popularity. Luo Li and
Wen Qingxuan exchanged a glance in midair as they both nodded and their silhouettes
moved, separately moving towards the Golden Battle Stage of Xue Tianhe and Ji Xuan.
The two graceful girls stood tall, with one wielding a golden war spear and the
other wearing a long sword, their fine hair fluttered in the wind as they looked
extremely gorgeous.

The appearance of those two made many others hold their breath.

After that, a supportive cheer that was even more startling rang out. Under the
cheers, Luo Li was staring at the blood-coloured robed figure before her with a
little chill in her crystal-clear pupils, pointing the Luo God Sword in her hand
towards the ground as faint killing intent was emitting from her usual calm
expression. “Haha, seems like your killing intent is pretty big towards me. ” Xue
Tianhe also noticed the killing intent that was being emitted from Luo Li’s body as
he spoke with an indifferent smile, while his eyes narrowed. “Since you have the
time to come out from the Blood God Clan, then forget about going back. ” Luo Li’s
pupils stared at Xue Tianhe as she spoke. “Truly worthy of being the next Empress
of the Luo God Clan, that’s some tone you got there. ” A cold sneer lifted Xue
Tianhe’s lips as he continued, “Actually, I have a similar intention as well.

If I’m able to capture you and bring you back to the Blood God Clan, I believe that
the Luo God Clan can only serve us, the Blood God Clan, as their masters. ”

Luo Li’s crystal-clear pupils were like isolated lakes, without the faintest
ripples.

She quietly looked at Xue Tianhe and narrowed her eyes. Buzz!The instant she
narrowed her eyes, the Luo God Sword in her hands exploded with sky-shaking sword
cries as vast Sword Aura spread out, as if it had engulfed the entire heavens and
earth. Creak.

Creak. Cracks and marks appeared on the Golden Battle Stage that was extremely
firm, which was caused by the Sword Aura that filled the heavens and earth. Luo Li
slightly lifted her hand, pointing the tip of the Luo God Sword towards Xue Tianhe.

There were faint distortions in the air, as if it was not able to endure the
sharpness of her Sword Aura. Fixing his gaze on the piercingly sharp Sword Aura
emitted from the longsword in Luo Li’s hand, Xue Tianhe felt stinging pain on his
skin, even with such a huge amount of distance between them. As the Prince of the
Blood God Clan, Xue Tianhe naturally knew how formidable the Luo God Sword was, it
was the murderous weapon of the Luo God Clan.

Back then, when Luo Li’s father wielded the sword, god-knows how many Sovereigns of
the Blood God Clan had fallen under that sword. “Although this Divine Artifact is
formidable, I doubt that you are able to unleash all of its power with your current
strength, right?” Xue Tianhe coldly smiled. Facing his cold smile, there weren’t
any answers coming from Luo Li.

Her narrowed, charming eyes widened in an instant with her hand forming sword
seals, stabbing her Luo God Sword forth.

Buzz!Her stab might seem light, but the impetus behind it made countless people
astonished as they saw the piercing Sword Aura that filled the heavens and earth
converged at this instant as it stabbed out along with the Luo God Sword, turning
into a sword image with the size of roughly a hundred feet.

With a rustling noise, it tore through space and appeared before Xue Tianhe. Along
with the appearance of that sword image, deep cracks appeared on the ground.

The surface of the cracks was as smooth as a mirror, instilling fear in those that
saw it. Seeing the sword image stabbing towards him, Xue Tianhe’s eyes were filled
with graveness.
Although he didn’t mention it, he was filled with fear for Luo Li in his heart. In
the current generation of the Luo God Clan, this girl was a person that would be
shouldering all responsibilities in the future.

At that time, she would become the absolute supreme Empress of the Luo God Clan.
Even if he could look at Mu Chen with disdain, he definitely did not dare to
belittle the Luo Li that was right before him. “Spiritual Blood Wall!”Xue Tianhe’s
feet tapped on the ground as his figure flew out, rapidly forming seals at
lightning speed as he pushed his palm downwards against the empty space of the
ground. Boom!The scarlet-red Spiritual Energy was like a tidal wave as it soared
into the sky from the ground, turning into a colossal light screen that was a
thousand feet in size. Rustle!The instant the blood-coloured light wall was formed,
the piercing sword image was already within reach, and heavily slammed against the
wall. Boom!Ripples that were visible to the naked-eyes were seen spreading out,
causing explosions in the surrounding space as the aura rolled in waves. Crack!
Clear cracks were seen rapidly spreading throughout the Spiritual Energy wall as a
clear crisp noise was heard.

The sword image had already pierced through the powerful Spiritual Energy wall,
heavily slamming against Xue Tianhe’s silhouette, which was unable to dodge in
time. Boom!Xue Tianhe’s figure was sent flying away as he made a hundred foot mark
on the ground with both of his feet, before he could stabilise himself.

His arm was postured in a cross before him, scarlet-red in colour, similar to
heated metals, as peculiar violent energy was emitted from both arms. Drip. On his
scarlet red arms, a deep sword mark was present as fresh blood dripped down. The
confrontation between the two was only an instant, but the astonishing power that
exploded between their counters made every student feel their scalps turn numb.

They could sense that even a Third Grade Spirit Disaster would have a hard time
resisting that move from Luo Li. Just a single sword move was already so
formidable. The supportive sheers that resonated between the heavens and earth
froze in an instant as many experts felt a chill down their spines as they sensed
how sharp and powerful Luo Li’s attack was. Amongst the four in the Battle Stage,
Luo Li possessed the lowest fame compared to the rest.

After all, Mu Chen had been the one leading their team and even in the Battle of
the Best 8, Luo Li easily defeated her opponent
thus, not many people were well-aware that despite having a gorgeous appearance
and being low-profile, she possessed such terrifying strength. When Mu Chen was
around, she would naturally suppress her sharpness and become quiet.

But the instant Mu Chen wasn’t around, she was similar to the Luo God Sword in her
hand
breaking her seal and unleashing her sharpness that soared in the skies, simply
unstoppable. Right now, Luo Li was unleashing her sharpened cutting edge. She was
like a blooming twilight flower. “Truly expected of the Luo God Sword…”Xue Tianhe
looked at the blood-dripping sword wound on his arm as his expression was
terrifyingly dark.

Shortly after, he stared at Luo Li and revealed an eerie smile, “But, I have done
my preparations to deal with you!”As he finished his speech, his hand slowly
smeared across the sword wound.

The scarlet-red on both of his arms became darker, and vaguely, blood-coloured
flames were oozing from his arm.

Under the burning blood-coloured flames, the sword wound was actually healing at a
rapid speed. After the appearance of the bizarre blood-coloured flames, blood-red
ancients rune actually appeared on both of his arms.

With the appearance of those runes, Xue Tianhe’s arms swelled up a size with veins
wiggling like earthworms, unleashing a dreadful power that instantly exploded. At
this instant, not only did his arms look more robust, they looked longer as well.

His palms looked as sharp as the palms of a beast, completely unhuman-like. Boom!
Xue Tianhe revealed a savage smile as his palm slapped the ground.

The scene made everyone dumbfounded as cracks appeared on the extremely firm
Golden Battle Stage.

The cracks exploded as they extended towards Luo Li. Luo Li narrowed her eyes as
she drove her Luo God Sword into the ground, Sword Aura exploded from the ground as
it stopped the cracks and gold-coloured rocks flew out at the same time. She raised
her head and looked at Xue Tianhe’s arm with a little astonishment.

She lightly raised her brows and faintly said, “This must be the Low Rank Divine
Artifact of your Blood God Clan, the Blood Demon Arms, right?”Xue Tianhe did seem
to have the knack for it.

Judging from the power, he had probably fused the Blood Demon Arms into his own,
thus allowing him to fully unleash its power. “Although the Luo God Sword is
powerful, you still can’t fully control it.

So today…”The smile hanging on Xue Tianhe’s lips became even more savage and
eerie. “I will use these Blood Demon Arms to thoroughly defeat you, the future
Empress of the Luo God Clan!”

Chapter 618 –
Wen Qingxuan’s Trump Card The other Battle Stage was rather calm and quiet compared
to the Battle Stage that Luo Li and Xue Tianhe were fighting on, with violent
Spiritual Energy soaring into the sky. Wen Qingxuan held onto her golden warspear
as her armour wrapped around her exquisite and voluptuous figure, outlining her
attractive curves.

Her gaze was staring at the Battle Stage of Luo Li and Xue Tianhe, her gaze was a
little heavy as she sensed the fearsome Spiritual Energy exploding from their
confrontation.

Xue Tianhe truly was not someone to be trifled with as he was able to fight with
Luo Li to this point…“Haha, looks like you are pretty concerned about the battle
over there. ” Ji Xuan stood with his hands behind his back as he watched the battle
on the other stage as well and smiled at Wen Qingxuan. Wen Qingxuan indolently
shifted her gaze to Ji Xuan as she smiled, “What? Ji Xuan, you’re not going to
fight?”“I don’t have any grudges with you.

If we were to fight now, we would definitely suffer injuries.

Thus, I suggest for us to wait for their results. ” Ji Xuan smiled. “You’re worried
about over-exhausting your strength, and it doesn’t matter which one of them will
win as you will still face a little trouble in the end, right?” A mocking arc rose
on Wen Qingxuan’s lips as she replied. Ji Xuan was slightly stunned before having a
smile, “At least this way, your chances will also be higher. ”“What a loathsome
fellow, no wonder Luo Li doesn’t like you. ” Wen Qingxuan spoke indifferently, “It
doesn’t matter how scheming you are, compared to Mu Chen, you’re inferior. ”Hearing
her words, Ji Xuan knitted his brows as he spoke, “In the Spiritual Road, Mu Chen
fell in my hands, and this time in the Great Spiritual Academy Tournament as well,
even he doesn’t have the qualifications to even fight with me.

You tell me, how am I inferior compared to that loser?”“You should be well-aware of
how you won the two times. ” Wen Qingxuan sneered. “The results are more important,
in this world, the losers do not have any qualifications to give any excuses. ” Ji
Xuan said indifferently. “What a thick face you have. ”Wen Qingxuan raised the
golden warspear in her hand as she pointed it towards Ji Xuan.

A smear of frost appeared on her face, “In the Elimination Round, you dared to use
me to lure Mu Chen out and now, I will claim your debts!”Boom!When Wen Qingxuan’s
cold voice fell, an astonishing Spiritual Energy fluctuation spread out.

Judging from the strength, she had gone through her Third Grade Spirit Disaster.
“Seems like you do not agree to my suggestion. ” Ji Xuan faintly spoke out.
Rustle!Wen Qingxuan’s reply was a brilliant spear ray that streaked across the
horizon.

In just an instant, it had already appeared before Ji Xuan. Looking at the swift
spear ray, Ji Xuan jolted his body, but there weren’t any signs of dodging, he
stood his ground as he allowed that spear ray pierce his throat under the gasps of
surprise that filled the sky.

However, there wasn’t any blood as the spear pierced through, whereas Ji Xuan’s
figure slowly disappeared. “An afterimage?”An exclamation resounded from the eyes
of the one that spoke had their eyes slightly trembled.

Ji Xuan’s speed was actually so fast, and they had never noticed him moving.

Clearly, Ji Xuan’s speed exceeded the speed their eyes could follow. “Up in the
sky!”Very quickly, someone spoke out as they raised their head.

Midair, above the Golden Battle Stage,
back, allowing the wind to flutter his
with his posture. The spear ray landed
she knew that it was impossible for an
Xuan.
Ji Xuan stood with his hands behind his
white robes as he looked extremely elegant
a miss, but Wen Qingxuan wasn’t surprised as
attack of this level to do anything to Ji

Thus, she extended her jade-like hands and started to form seals. A crisp cry
suddenly rang out between the heavens and earth as a pair of golden wings appeared
behind Wen Qingxuan.

The wings that had expanded at this instant were huge, with a size of approximately
ten feet, and they looked as if they were made of gold, being extremely radiant.
Rustle!Wen Qingxuan’s wings flapped as they blew up a violent gale, her silhouette
disappeared from within the gale at almost an instant. Up in the sky, Ji Xuan’s
pupils abruptly shrank, and before he could move, a violent gale blew from his back
as a golden light spread out.

Wen Qingxuan had directly appeared behind him. “I’ll see how swift your speed truly
is!” Wen Qingxuan’s cold voice resounded, and at the same time, the golden warspear
in her hand had already turned into a ray of light as she thrust it forth. Rustle!
Ji Xuan’s gaze was cold as he formed seals with one hand and his figure jolted. The
spear rsy pierced through, but it was another after image. Ji Xuan’s figure
appeared in the sky a thousand meters away.

But the instant he reappeared, another spear ray was thrust towards him. Rustle!
Rustle!Up in the sky, the two figures were like ghosts as their locations
constantly changed every single time the image was pierced through.
The scene made everyone feel dumbfounded.

They couldn’t even sense the movement of those two and could only catch their
figures when they attacked. Their speeds were simply like ghosts. Facing with the
speed of those two, even Wu Ling and the rest of the pinnacle experts had a heavy
expression on their faces as they knew that if it was them, they could only stand
still and suffer their attacks, be it from Ji Xuan or Wen Qingxuan. Although there
wasn’t a huge commotion from their confrontation, the fearsome speed that they
unleashed was extremely startling. Rustle!Ji Xuan’s figure appeared at another
location again, but this time, his face was a little dark.

Speed had always been his forté and now, he realised that despite pushing his speed
to the limits, he still couldn’t shake Wen Qingxuan off. The latter’s speed wasn’t
any inferior to his own. Whoosh!Golden spear light chased and was thrust out again
in an extremely tricky angle. “Hmph!”A cold snort came from Ji Xuan as he abruptly
clenched his fist, a long spear appeared in a flash as he thrust it out as well.

The tip of the two spears collided as a metallic ringing sound resonated.

An astonishing wave of aura swept out, as if it was lifting a hurricane. Facing Wen
Qingxuan, who possessed swift speed as well, Ji Xuan could only give up on the idea
of using his absolute speed to suppress her. A hurricane swept out as the two
figures fell back. Wen Qingxuan gripped her golden war spear as her phoenix-like
eyes looked at Ji Xuan and coldly smiled, “You’ve finally given up running?”Ji
Xuan’s face was as solemn as the water as he did not reply.

Torrential sacred Spiritual Energy rapidly gathered behind him, and in an instant,
it had formed into a huge sacred sun behind himIt was the technique that he used
against Wen Busheng. However, Ji Xuan clearly placed Wen Qingxuan at a higher level
that surpassed Wen Busheng.

Thus, his hand seals changed again, and above the sacred light, another brilliant
light gathered once again and after that, another two sacred suns rapidly formed!
Three sacred suns!The three sacred suns hovered behind Ji Xuan, and that formation
made countless others feel their scalps numbing from the sight of it.

So when he was fighting with Wen Busheng, Ji Xuan had actually concealed so much of
his strength, that fellow truly was deep and unmeasurable. “Go!”Ji Xuan did not
speak any nonsense as he flicked his finger, the three sacred suns soared into the
sky and were positioned in a straight line, engulfing Wen Qingxuan as they
descended. Under the dreadful suns, the impacts instantly created spiderwebs of
cracks on the Golden Battle Stage below. Wen Qingxuan lightly raised her head, the
reflection of the suns was rapidly expanding in her eyes.

However, she didn’t have any fear as her pupils were still filled with cold pride.
Facing such a fearsome attack from Ji Xuan, she actually had no intentions of
dodging. Boom! Boom!The three sacred suns ferociously fell down as the brilliant
light spread out, covering the entire heavens and earth in divine light.

The piercing light from them made innumerable others feel a stinging pain in their
eyes and could not open them. The violent sacred light wreaked havoc in the sky for
a long time, before it gradually dissipated. Many people stared in that direction
as they were curious about whether Wen Qingxuan was able to escape from Ji Xuan’s
dreadful attacks in that situation. As the sacred light gradually dissipated, the
sky became clear again and after that… innumerable people had their eyes suddenly
widen as the noise of inhaling cold air resounded. At the same time, Ji Xuan
abruptly narrowed his eyes. Far in the sky, covered by golden light, a colossal
golden phoenix was slowly expanding its wings in the golden light.
The body was covered in golden light, as if it was forged from gold.

It possessed a perfect posture, every single inch of it was oozing with pride and
nobility, as if it was the sovereign of all lives. “That’s…”Up in midair, even some
Deans had their facial expressions changed as they muttered, “That’s… the Sacred
Golden Phoenix?”The Sacred Golden Phoenix, Rank 6 of the Myriad Beast Record’s
Earth Ranking. Rumours state that it was a beast that possessed the genuine
bloodline of a Phoenix.

An existence that was comparable to a Heavenly Sovereign upon reaching the late
stage of cultivation. No one could have expected that Wen Qingxuan had refined a
Sacred Golden Phoenix’s Soul Essence!This trump card of hers was sufficient to
shock anyone. Up in the sky, the Sacred Golden Phoenix was flapping its golden
wings that had golden light flowing on it.

On its colossal figure, there was a slender silhouette standing there with a spear
held in her hand, there was also golden light flowing in her gorgeous phoenix-like
eyes as she stood on the golden phoenix.

Her head was slightly lifted up with pride, revealing her snow-white and elegant
neckline.

After that, she extended her jade-like hand out as she undid the bundle of her
hair.

Instantly, her hair was like a waterfall as it draped down, that moment of
demeanour made even the heavens and earth light up. At this moment, Wen Qingxuan
was exceptionally stunning. Ji Xuan also fixed his gaze on Wen Qingxuan, who was
standing on top of a Sacred Golden Phoenix and slowly clenched his fist.

This opponent of his was even harder to handle than he had expected. Wen Qingxuan’s
phoenix-like eyes were also looking at him from far away.

The golden war spear was pointed in a slanted position as a clear and crisp sound
rang out between the heavens and earth. “Ji Xuan, bring out the Primordial
Skydragon Hawk of yours.

Otherwise, you won’t stand a chance. ”

Chapter 619 –
True form of the Luo God Sword “Blood Demon Arms…”Luo Li’s gaze was a little cold
as she stared at Xue Tianhe.

At this moment, both of the latter’s arms were surging with a bloody aura as the
veins looked like earthworms wiggling in his arms.

The piercing sharpness of them was like a blade, emitting a cold piercing aura that
could even slice the earth apart. Luo Li had heard of the Blood Demon Arms, it was
said that there was a treasure in the Blood God Clan, the Blood God Arms.

It was said that this Divine Artifact surpassed High Rank, possessing absolute
destructive powers.

Its powers were comparable to the unsealed Luo God Sword, and back then, her father
was heavily injured by the Blood God Clan’s Patriarch using the Blood God Arms,
destroying his Sovereign Sea and, thus, fell to it. As for the Blood Demon Arms, it
was a counterfeit of the Blood God Arms.

However, despite being a counterfeit, it possessed formidable power as well,

reaching the level of a Low Rank Divine Artifact. Faint killing intent was emitted
from Luo Li’s eyes. “Haha, looks like you hate these Blood Demon Arms very much. ”
Seeing Luo Li’s face turn cold, Xue Tianhe smiled as he continued, “Was it because
your father died by the Blood God Arms of our clan?”“Good then, since your father
died under the Blood God Arms, I will use these Blood Demon Arms today to defeat
you, truly fitting for a pair of father and daughter. ” Xue Tianhe licked his
scarlet lips as his smile became increasingly savage. Boom!After Xue Tianhe spoke,
his gaze turned extremely vicious as he stomped his feet, causing cracks on the
ground and his figure swiftly appeared before Luo Li as he threw a punch out. Boom!
Along with Xue Tianhe’s fist, blood light spread out and instantly exploded the
space in front of it, there were even faint distortions in the space.

The power behind it was terrifyingly violent. Luo Li’s expression was cold as she
gripped her sword with one hand and the other supporting the end of the sword as
she positioned the sword to block before her. Ding!The bloody fist heavily slammed
against the sword blade, causing a metallic ringing sound to resonate.

The ground beneath the two crumbled in an instant as a tidal wave of aura that was
visible to the naked-eyes swept out. Whoosh!Luo Li’s slender silhouette flew out as
she pulled with her hand.

The sword edge flickered as a sword aura converged and formed into a sword lotus as
she thrust it forth, sending it towards the direction of Xue Tianhe. “Hmph.
”However, facing the astonishingly sharp sword lotus, Xue Tianhe issued a cold
snort as he maintained his extended punch.

After activating the Blood Demon Arms, the toughness of his arms was comparable to
a Divine Artifact.

Even Mu Chen, with his Septa Rune Lightning Physique, might not gain any advantage
from facing him. Boom!The bloody fist heavily slammed against the sword lotus as
the blood light exploded, shattering the lotus with a fist.

Sword Aura gushed out as it clashed against Xue Tianhe’s body, which was protected
by his boundless Spiritual Energy.

The violent gale of his fist was directed towards the direction of Luo Li from
every direction. Boom! Boom!The scarlet blood fists brought along a ferocious aura
as it whistled across the horizon.

Every single fist contained extremely violent Spiritual Energy fluctuation.

Xue Tianhe had already undergone his Third Grade Spirit Disaster and by borrowing
the power of the Blood Demon Arms, his attacks made the faces of people like Wu
Ling to drastically change as he knew that if Xue Tianhe had utilised such a trump
card during their confrontation, he would probably lose in an instant. Rustle!
Facing the whistling scarlet fists, Luo Li’s figure did not retreat.

As the Sword Aura swept out, the sharpness of it was even able to cut through
space. However, comparing the two, Xue Tianhe clearly held the advantage.

After all, the Blood Demon Arms had fully fused with his arms, whereas Luo Li’s Luo
God Sword had layers of seals on it. All the students of the Northern Heavens
Spiritual Academy revealed nervous expressions on their faces as they saw Luo Li
being constantly pushed back, their palms were sweaty.

After all, the talent revealed by Xue Tianhe was simply too fearsome. Xue Tianhe’s
eyes were blood-red at this point in time as his face was exceptionally savage as
well.
The Blood Demon Arms were extremely violent, and thus, when he integrated it into
his own body, it had affected his personality as well.

The instant he used the Blood Demon Arms, he would become extremely violent and
bloodthirsty.

However, he wasn’t resisting it.

On the contrary, he seemed to be enjoying it. “Haha, Luo Li, is that all your
strength? Looks like your Luo God Clan really has nobody.

Since that’s the case, I suggest for your clan to submit to our Blood God Clan
while there’s still time.

Otherwise, when we invade, we will unleash a total massacre!”Xue Tianhe revealed a

savage smile as his fist became increasingly more violent.

Under the slamming of the numerous scarlet blood fists, Luo Li’s slender silhouette
was like a small boat in the vast ocean as she swayed about. Poof. Another piercing
sword swept down as it sliced a blood fist apart.

Luo Li’s charming face was a little cold as she looked at Xue Tianhe, who had gone
into a frenzy as the corner of her lips rose, revealing an arc with murderous
intent. “Since you wish to witness my true strength, I’ll show it to you, then!
After all, I have to fulfil a dead man’s wish!”An ice-cold light appeared within
Luo Li’s crystal-clear eyes as she swiftly extended her slim hand out as she
smeared some on the Luo God Sword. Fresh blood spreads out on the Luo God Sword in
an instant and with the pervade of the blood, ancient and profound runes began to
appear on the Luo God Sword. Those runes were like chains as it bound the Luo God
Sword, but at this instant, those chains gradually melt under the red blood. As the
runes were melting, an azure light soared into the sky all of a sudden. At the same
time, a dreadful sword intent engulfed this heaven and earth. Poof! Poof!Those
blood-red fists that were flying in her direction were sliced apart despite having
a distance of few dozen feet.

The surface of the cut was as smooth as a mirror, turning into sparkles of light
that filled the skies. Up in midair, the various Deans had their facial expression
slightly changed as they felt a gush of powerful sword intent that was even
astonishing for them. The Five Great Deans shifted their eyes as they looked at the
direction where the sword intent was coming from. The savage expression on Xue
Tianhe froze for an instant, he fixed his eyes at the azure ray of light as a
feeling of unease rose in his heart. Dreadful sword intent engulfed the heaven and
earth.

As the azure light slowly fades, everyone abruptly narrowed their eyes in an
instant. Up in the sky where Luo Li was, there was a heavy azure sword that was
less than a feet in length hovering before her.

That sword was azure in colour as it seemed to be forged from ice, it was
translucent, and through the sword blade, there was a section that seemed like ice
bone.

That ice bone was filled with ferocious spikes, and the spikes seem to be extended
to the edge of the sword…That heavy sword was roughly the size of Luo Li’s height,
and the sword blade was wide.

Standing before it, Luo Li seemed even more petite and exquisite in comparison.
It was quietly floating before Luo Li, and the sword blade was the origin for the
sword intent that filled the skies. Xue Tianhe’s expression was gloomy as he looked
at the heavy azure sword with a smear of deep fear present in his eyes.

He clenched his teeth as he spoke in an eerie tone, “You actually released the full
form of the Luo God Sword.

Based with that strength of yours, you can control it?”That sword can be considered
as a nightmare for the Blood God Clan.

In the past hundred years, god knows how many Sovereign Realm experts died from the
sword. Although the Luo God Sword’s might was dreadful, it wasn’t something that
anyone can control it, so much so that without its acknowledgement, not even a
Sovereign Realm expert would touch it easily. The main reason why Xue Tianhe wasn’t
afraid of Luo Li earlier on was that he knew that Luo Li still couldn’t unleash the
true form of the Luo God Sword. However, it was completely different from what he
had expected. Luo Li’s crystal clear eyes glanced at Xue Tianhe as he slowly
extended her slim hand out and grabbed onto the heavy azure sword that seems as
though it was forged from ice. Buzz! Buzz!The moment Luo Li placed her hand on it,
the Luo God Sword violently trembled as crisp sword cries burst out. As the Luo God
Sword trembled, Luo Li maintained a calm expression as she gripped tight on the
sword handle, her delicate palm was pierced from the sword intent emitting from the
sword blade as fresh blood flowed. As the fresh blood fell onto the sword, it was
being absorbed into the azure sword blade. An extremely sharp sword intent seemed
as though her wrist was about to be chopped off but Luo Li still maintained a calm
expression as she stubbornly and unwaveringly held onto the sword handle, refusing
to let go. Buzzing sword cries lasted for a long while to the point that fresh
blood nearly covered the entire sword blade before stopping. Because of the intense
blood loss, her rosy lips were a little pale, but at this moment, her lips rose as
she immediately raised her head and looked at Xue Tianhe, whose face was extremely
unsightly at this moment with indifference. “Now, I’ll let you experience the true
Luo God Sword. ”When Luo Li finished her speech with dense chill contained in her
tone, her figure abruptly burst out, and in a near instant, she had already
appeared above Xue Tianhe.

She held onto her sword as the heavy azure sword slammed down without any fancy
moves. As the Luo God Sword slashed down, cracks appeared in the sky, appearing to
be torn by the sword as well.

A sword light that was roughly a thousand feet in size as the sword light tore
through the horizon as it slashed down relentlessly along with destructive
sharpness. Seeing that, Xue Tianhe’s face gradually turned ugly.

Chapter 620 - The Unforeseen Boom!A thousand feet sword light descend from the sky,
causing faint tears on the space in the path of the sword light.

The entire heaven and earth seemed to be engulfed by the piercing sword intent.
Even before the sword light lands, the firm ground was already pierced with
thousands of holes. After utilising the true form of the Luo God Sword, Luo Li’s
attacks had already reached a terrifying state.

Not to mention the students, even several Elders of the various Spiritual Academies
had their face changed from the sight of it. Likewise, Xue Tianhe’s face was also
unsightly at this moment as his feet dug into the ground by half an inch from the
piercing pressure of the sword intent. Right now, there was no way he could avoid
it as the sword light had already locked onto him, sealing the surrounding space
from the sword intent. Clearly, Luo Li had intended to heavily injure him with this
strike. “I refuse to believe that you can truly control the Luo God Sword with your
strength!”Xue Tianhe’s face was a little twisted.

Although Luo Li could bring out the true form of the Luo God Sword, it doesn’t mean
that she could fully unleash its power.

Otherwise, Xue Tianhe would probably be slaughtered in an instant by now. Roar!Xue

Tianhe took a step forth he unleashed a roar that sounded like a wild beast from
his throat.

The blood flow in his scarlet arms surged in an instant as his veins slowly turned
red, fresh blood oozed out from his pores.

Vaguely, it had already formed into two ferocious faces of demons on his arms…A
peculiar fluctuation spread out along with it. “Blood Demon Arms - Demon Devours
the Sky!”Xue Tianhe’s sharp roar resonated out along with boundless Spiritual
Energy, he clenched into a fist as he threw a fist forth. Boom! Boom!Sheets of air
exploded before him as Xue Tianhe’s arms seemed as if there were countless blood-
red earthworms wiggling and along with that punch, two colossi bloodthirsty blood
light boomed out. The two blood light shot forth and condensed, swiftly forming
into two large demonic mouth that was few hundred feet in size.

The two mouth devoured the Spiritual Energy in this heaven and earth as if they
could devour anything. Whoosh!Even with the two demonic mouth formed, that sword
light was still slashing down without the slightest hesitation. Rustle!No one could
clearly see the sword light flit across, they only saw a flash of light, and the
two horrifying demonic mouth in the sky exploded, causing trembles on the vast
Golden Battle Stage beneath as a crack that was roughly a thousand feet swiftly
spreads out…Dust rose as it covered the entire Battle Stage. Innumerable people
directed their gaze over, Luo Li was still standing in midair.

Although she was slender and fair, she seemed rather petite in comparison to the
Luo God Sword in her hands.

However, it was this offbeat contrast that gave her a little different temperament
compared to the usual her.

Cold and austere. Her charming and cold gaze was looking down at the dust.

The wind blew as it dispersed the dust and everyone directed their gaze over. On
the stage, a hideous thousand feet ravine was spreading and at the end of the crack
in a caved-in spot, Xue Tianhe’s figure was seen. At this moment, his clothes on
his upper body were all shredded with both his arms posturing a cross before him,
and on his strange Blood Demon Arms, there was a deep sword wound that extends from
his fist to his shoulders and bones could be seen from the wound.

Fresh blood was like a stream as it flowed down, dying the ground beneath him in
red. Xue Tianhe’s face was twisted as he couldn’t control the twitching on the
corner of his lips as he saw the wounds on his arm.

After integrating with the Blood Demon Arms, both of his arms were comparable to
Low Rank Divine Artifact, so much so that his arms could be described as
indestructible.

But right now, there was a deep wound that nearly chopped off his arms.
Furthermore, it was even more terrifying as his wounds were filled with piercing
sword intent, it was those penetrating cold sword intent that caused the
regeneration ability of the Blood Demon Arms to lose effect…The Luo God Sword was
indeed terrifying. Xue Tianhe clenched his teeth as a smear of deep fear flashed
across his eyes.

Luo Li’s strength had surpassed his expectation, and although he still had hidden
cards under his sleeves, it would still be hard to do anything to Luo Li. Looks
like it wasn’t an easy task to defeat Luo Li. Xue Tianhe’s gaze faintly flickered
as he took a sweep at the other Battle Stage.

Shortly after, his expression turned malevolent
seals with his hands. Roar!Along with the swift
violent roar rang out from his body. Torrential
form of a huge blood-red beast with the size of
Tianhe.
all of a sudden as he swiftly made
changes of Xue Tianhe’s seals, a
blood light spread out, taking a
roughly a thousand feet behind Xue

The large beast stood on the ground, covered in blood-red scales, sinister looking
red bone spikes protruded from its back, the sharpness of it seems as if it could
penetrate through space and last but not least, a pair of scarlet eyes that was
filled with violence and brutality. A gush of ominous aura surged up the skies.
“Xue Tianhe had actually utilised the Demonic Blood Beast’s Soul Essence in his
body, looks like he was forced to such miserable extent by Luo Li…” all the
students exclaimed up upon witnessing the changes. Luo Li’s cold gaze was looking
at the huge Demonic Blood Beast as the killing intent in her eyes became even
denser. “Blood God Art - Heavenly Trapping Sea!”Xue Tianhe issued a roar, and as he
opened his mouth, fresh blood gushed out, and at the same time, the Demonic Blood
Beast also opened its mouth as tidal of fresh blood were like waves as it surged
out. The two gush of fresh blood combined and swiftly expanded in the wind.

In a blink of an eye, forming a vast sea of fresh blood in midair, the sea engulfed
the heavens and earth with Luo Li in the centre of it. Boom!The fresh blood sea
rolled violently, forming into a thousand feet scarlet tornado as it trapped Luo Li
within it, dreadful power was devastating as it attempts to kill Luo Li. Boom!The
blood sea violently rolled, creating a world-shaking commotion. However, just when
everyone thought that Xue Tianhe was going to make use of this time to launch his
attacks, he suddenly tapped his feet on the ground as he leapt up the Demonic Blood
Beast.

The blood beast was striding.

It's large steps as it retreated out of the colossal Battle Stage in a flash. …
Clear, crisp phoenix cry resonated in the heaven and earth, the golden phoenix was
flapping its gorgeous golden wings.

Under the shine of sunlight, it was flickering with dazzling lustre, the elegance
and majestic made innumerable students look with an envious gaze. Wen Qingxuan
stood proudly above the golden phoenix as the spear in her hand was pointed towards
Ji Xuan. Compared to Wen Qingxuan, Ji Xuan was standing on the air as he looked at
the golden phoenix beneath her as his gaze was a little solemn.

He wasn’t much surprised, and clearly, he had already expected it. “Haha, what a
great fortune you have to actually be able to refine the Soul Essence of the Sacred
Golden Phoenix…” Ji Xuan faintly smiled.

Looks like Wen Qingxuan’s background was fairly strong.

Otherwise, it was impossible for her to obtain the Soul Essence of a Sacred Golden
Phoenix and refine it successfully. “Likewise. ” Wen Qingxuan raised her phoenix
eyes as she spoke out in an indifferent tone, “Looks like you do not intend to
summon your Primordial Skydragon Hawk out?”“There’s still no need for it at this
point in time. ” smiled Ji Xuan. “Really?” Wen Qingxuan’s eyes grew cold and no
longer being modest, the golden war spear in her hands trembled all of a sudden and
the golden phoenix also let out a crisp cry as it flapped its wings.

Countless golden feathers soared into a sky and converged, forming into a spear of
golden feathers that was roughly a hundred feet. Whoosh!The spear of golden
feathers thrust out with swift speed, and in an instant, the spear already appeared
above Ji Xuan’s head. Rustle!The long spear in Ji Xuan’s hand also exploded with
brilliant radiance with boundless Spiritual Energy that swept out in a tidal
manner.

His spear flashed as he thrust it forth, colliding with the spear of golden
feathers swiftly. Boom!The crisp metallic sound rang out as the destructive impact
sent Ji Xuan flying out. As his figure flew out, Ji Xuan still maintained a faint
smile as his gaze gradually turned ill.

Both his hands formed seals in an instant as a terrifying Spiritual Energy ripples
burst out from his body. “Great Sacred Light Art - Pentecost!”When Ji Xuan’s deep
roar sounded out, brilliance sacred light appeared as it formed into a thousand
feet light illusion above him and that light illusion slammed a palm towards Wen
Qingxuan.

That palm seemed as if it could crack mountains and calm the sea, containing
absolute might. Clearly, Ji Xuan had resorted to using his finish moves when facing
the powerful Wen Qingxuan. “Hmph”Wen Qingxuan let out a cold snort as she looked at
the light illusion that could instil fear in others, she did not retreat as she
lightly stomped her golden war spear.

The golden phoenix soared up the skies, a human and phoenix appeared as if they had
turned into a radiant golden ray of light as it soared up with indescribable speed
and clashed with the light illusion. Boom!Heaven and earth violently trembled as
sacred and golden light spread out, causing signs of distortion in this horizon.
The Spiritual Energy impact that was unleashed from their clash exploded the heaven
and earth. Boom!The light illusion and golden phoenix unwavering faced off as two
surges of dreadful energy were erasing each other, but clearly, the golden phoenix
had the upper hand as the light illusion gradually turned dull from the erosion of
the golden light. Facing the scene, Ji Xuan still maintained an indifferent
expression as a smear of chill flashed across his eyes and lightly nodded his head.
In the sky that was filled with sacred and golden light, a redness was suddenly
mixed in all of a sudden. The face of innumerable others drastically changed,
especially those girls of the Myriad Phoenix Spiritual Academy, their face was
exceptionally unsightly. Behind the golden phoenix, there was a sudden appearance
of blood light as a huge Demonic Blood Demon strode the air as it brandished its
fist down ruthlessly along with torrential ominous aura. A sudden unforeseen event
occurred between the battle of the two!

Chapter 621 - Silvery hair turning back Boom!Earth-shattering blood light

tyrannically charged into the region that was covered with sacred and golden light.

The Demonic Blood Beast that was emitting a violent and vicious aura also appeared
behind the golden light formed from the Sacred Golden Phoenix like a demon. The
sudden change made everyone feel startled. They wouldn’t imagine why that big
fellow would burst onto the Battle Stage that didn’t belong to him…“He… what is he
trying to do?!” Some people had uncontrollably widened their eyes as they muttered.
Roar!Just when everyone was absent-minded, the Demonic Blood Beast issued a
ferocious roar, clenching its fist with blood light gushing out and ruthlessly shot
it forth.

It was like a red shooting star, heavily slamming against the Sacred Golden Phoenix
at lightning speed. That fist was exceptionally ferocious. “Despicable!”“Simply a
bunch of assholes! Two against one!”“Bullying girls!”“…”When Xue Tianhe’s
intentions were completely revealed, the multitude of students reacted in an
instant as all sorts of curses covered the skies.

They were filled with indignation as their eyes showed disdain. No matter what the
rules were, this battle was a one-on-one, fighting with their true ability.

No matter what the results were, the victor would be well-respected by others.

However, Xue Tianhe’s actions had clearly broken the fairness when he resorted to
such means. Furthermore, the main point was that it was an absolutely gorgeous
girl.

Anyone would inwardly smack their lips if they saw two guys bullying a girl. The
curses from the Myriad Phoenix Spiritual Academy were the loudest, with their faces
ashened.

Although they couldn’t find any other vulgar and harsh words, their voices were
filled with rage.

Even the students of the Saint Spiritual Academy were a little strange as they
exchanged looks, but they did not dare to refute, in case they attracted everyone’s
rage. Boom!Xue Tianhe’s attack was too sudden and was also out of Wen Qingxuan’s
expectations.

Thus, when she felt the fluctuations coming from her back, the expression on her
beautiful face uncontrollably changed as well. However, Wen Qingxuan was someone
whose fame could rival Ji Xuan’s.

Clearly, it wasn’t fully due to her charming looks, since she was someone that
possessed both strength and talent, someone that even Ji Xuan wouldn’t dare to
belittle. Thus, at such a dangerous moment, she could still maintain her calm.

At this moment, she clenched her teeth as the wings of the Sacred Golden Phoenix
unfolded from behind, forming a huge golden shield. Boom!The blood-red fist heavily
slammed against the golden shield that was formed from the golden wings.

In an instant, a dreadful impact wreaked havoc, causing the space to be a little

distorted as well. On the golden wings, the feathers shattered, turning into
screens of golden sparkles.

Wen Qingxuan’s face instantly turned pale, since her defence was too hurried
thus, even though she had managed to block Xue Tianhe’s attacks, she had suffered
injuries as well. Boom!Just as Wen Qingxuan was dividing her attention to blocking
Xue Tianhe’s attacks, Ji Xuan gave a faint smile in front of her as the sacred
light illusion that showed signs of dispersing a moment ago suddenly turned
radiant.

Shortly after, sacred light gathered on its illusionary hand and formed into a
huge light spear with the size of a thousand feet. “Great Sacred Light Art -
Descent of the Sacred Spear!”Ji Xuan pointed his finger out as a sacred spear in
the hand of the light illusion whistled down.

In an instant, it appeared above the Sacred Golden Phoenix.

The fluctuations coming from it seemed like it could penetrate through the heavens
and earth. “Demonic Blood Seal!”When Ji Xuan unleashed his attack, Xue Tianhe, who
was standing on the shoulder of the Demonic Blood Beast, revealed a vicious smile
as well.
 In an instant, he formed seals with his hand, and along with the changes of his
seals, the huge Demonic Blood Beast was also forming similar seals. A bloody light
soared into the air, and a small and big seal that looked as if they were converged
from blood shot out and swiftly merged together in midair.

It expanded to the size of a few hundred feet as it pressed down towards Wen
Qingxuan and the Sacred Golden Phoenix, along with a tidal wave of a blood-reeking
aura. The attacks of the two were so powerful that it made any expert that had gone
through the Third Grade Spirit Disaster’s heart to tremble.

The level of those attacks was already approaching to that of a Sovereign Realm
expert!As the colossal pressure shroud over, Wen Qingxuan firmly gripped her long
spear.

Even in such a dangerous situation, her gorgeous eyes were still filled with
pride, without any fear. She was like the prideful Sacred Golden Phoenix. Wen
Qingxuan heavily stomped her golden warspear as a radiant golden light gushed from
the Sacred Golden Phoenix in all directions.

The golden light was extremely viscous, as if it became a golden-coloured liquid.

Furthermore, the golden liquid was solidifying at a rapid speed.

In just a few breath’s time, it had formed into a huge golden sphere that
enveloped the Sacred Golden Phoenix. That golden sphere was flickering with radiant
lustre, perfectly round without any flaws.

There also was a drawing of a golden phoenix soaring on the surface of it.

The firmness it gave off seemed like it could withstand the most fearsome attack
in this world. “Golden Protection!”As the golden sphere was formed, Wen Qingxuan’s
cold bark resonated between the heavens and earth. Facing both Ji Xuan and Xue
Tianhe’s attacks, even if Wen Qingxuan had utilised the power of the Sacred Golden
Phoenix’s Soul Essence, she could only resort to using the most powerful defence
that she possessed. Boom!When the golden sphere was formed, the shocking attacks of
Ji Xuan and Xue Tianhe reached her at the same time and slammed against the golden
sphere under the countless nervous gazes. Boom!In the instant of impact, an earth-
shattering sound rang out as a visible golden blast wave exploded.

The clouds in the sky were instantly torn to shreds. Both Ji Xuan and Xue Tianhe
flew away from the terrifying impact.

The light illusion shattered and the chest of the Demonic Blood Beast had also
sunk by a huge patch, issuing a howling roar. However, everyone’s gazes were
staring at the region covered in golden light.

The golden sphere was still intact. Crack. However, the silence only lasted for an
instant, before everyone’s faces underwent drastic changes as cracks appeared on
the golden sphere and were spreading at a terrifying speed. Boom!In a few breath’s
time, cracks already covered the entire golden sphere.

Clearly, the golden sphere had already reached it's limit and exploded. The golden
sphere exploded along with a mournful phoenix cry.

The Sacred Golden Phoenix’s colossal figure was actually rapidly fading away as a
slender silhouette was sent flying away from the impact. Poof. The slender
silhouette stood in midair as a mouthful of blood gushed from her mouth, her
gorgeous face was pale as well.
 Be it Ji Xuan or Xue Tianhe, both of them possessed the ability to be evenly
matched with her, and now that the two of them allied, it was naturally hard for
Wen Qingxuan to rival them. “Bastards!”Innumerable students once again started to
curse with indignation in this region. Up in midair, the Five Great Deans did not
speak upon witnessing the scene, only Dean Tang Qiu of the Myriad Phoenix Academy
was exceptionally unsightly at this moment.

However, she did not speak as this was within the rules for the Battle of the
Champion.

No matter what means the participants resorted to, the last one standing would be
the Champion. However, no one had expected for Xue Tianhe to suddenly attack Wen
Qingxuan.

Looks like that fellow knows that it is impossible for him to fight with Luo Li
alone
thus, he decided to help Ji Xuan defeat Wen Qingxuan first, before the both of
them work together to defeat Luo Li. Up in the sky, Xue Tianhe’s expression was
indifferent as he looked at the heavily injured Wen Qingxuan.

He exchanged a glance with Ji Xuan as a smear of chill flashed across his eyes.

The both of them were well-aware of Wen Qingxuan’s strength, and now that they had
the opportunity, then they would definitely have to heavily injure her to the point
that she could no longer fight and they couldn’t give her any time to recover.
Thus, facing the curses that rang out in this region, they both shot a palm out
once again.

Two majestic Spiritual Energies swept out as they ruthlessly shot towards Wen
Qingxuan, whose Spiritual Energy was in a total mess. Seeing their actions, the
curses of rage became even more intense. Wen Qingxuan stood in midair as she had
also sensed the ruthless attacks of those two.

Although she wanted to defend herself, the Spiritual Energy in her body was in a
mess, and it was hard for her to control it at the moment.

Thus, she sighed and closed her eyes. When the girls of the Myriad Phoenix
Spiritual Academy witnessed the scene, those whose personalities were a little
frail had their eyes reddened. Boom!However, just when everyone was sighing in
pity, a piercing Sword Intent instantly soared into the sky.

Everyone looked up and a huge sword tyrannically slashed the vast blood sea apart.
The blood sea vanished, and a figure swiftly burst forth and was behind Wen
Qingxuan in an instant as she held the latter by the waist and the Luo God Sword in
her hand suddenly swept out.

The sword light wreaked havoc as it tore the two Spiritual Energies apart. Rustle!
The sudden change attracted gasps of surprise from the innumerable students once
again.

A burst of cheers that trembled the heavens and earth rang out, and the girls of
the Myriad Phoenix Spiritual Academy were a little stunned as they looked at the
gorgeous girl that was carrying Wen Qingxuan by her waist at the moment.

In the next instant, their eyes flickered with stars as they were carried away and
screamed. “Waaa! It’s that girl called Luo Li!”“How formidable!”“She’s so cool, I
like her so much!”“…”Countless screams were being yelled out from the Myriad
Phoenix Spiritual Academy, which instantly made the eyes of the male students from
the various other academies in the surroundings blacken.
 Their faces were filled with resentment as they nearly fainted. Under the yells,
Luo Li loosened her grip on Wen Qingxuan’s waist as she looked at Ji Xuan and Xue
Tianhe, who were before her, with a cold gaze.

Her pupils were filled with cold killing intent. “Are you alright?” Luo Li turned
around as she looked at the pale Wen Qingxuan. “I’m alright, the two of us can go
together. ” Wen Qingxuan clenched her teeth as she struggled a little in an attempt
to fight again.

However, the chaotic Spiritual Energy in her body wasn’t under her control, which
made her sway left and right. “Your injuries are too grievous.

Take a little rest, I’ll block them. ” Luo Li spoke slowly. “No!” Wen Qingxuan
anxiously said, since she knew how powerful Ji Xuan and Xue Tianhe were if they
were to join hands. Luo Li did not speak anything else as she held onto the Luo God
Sword and slowly strode forth.

Her tranquil expression that she originally wore was filled with killing intent as
a piercing Sword Intent filled the heavens and earth. Wen Qingxuan looked at Luo Li
and shockingly realised that the latter’s silvery long hair was actually turning
back. The silvery hair was turning black.

Chapter 622 - Luo River“s Spiri tLuo Li casually strode forth with lotus-like
steps.

Along with every step, her default silvery long hair was turning black. In a few
breath’s time, her radiant and cold hair had become as black as ink. Naturally, the
changes were not only limit to her hair, but even her temperament was also changing
along with it.

If she was usually serene like a lotus in a deep valley with outstanding
independent charm, the current her was emitting a cold chill.

Her crystal-clear eyes were filled with chill, as if she was a queen that
overlooked everyone like ants before her throne. Up in the sky, Ji Xuan and Xue
Tianhe blinked their eyes as they looked at Luo Li’s current state with heavy
gazes.

Clearly, they had a strange, dangerous feeling. However, they did not speak as they
knew that Luo Li naturally had her own trump cards.

However, they also weren’t people that were easy to mess with
and, right now, with the both of them joining hands, it would definitely not be an
easy task for Luo Li to face the two of them, even if she possessed a powerful
trump card. “Haha, looks like you’re planning to face the two of us?” Xue Tianhe
spoke with an eerie gaze and a weird laughter. Luo Li indifferently looked at him
without replying to his words.

She lightly placed both of her hands together and formed an ancient seal as her
soft voice resounded. “Luo River. ”Boom!When the two words rang out, a tornado
abruptly formed in this region.

The Spiritual Energy existing between the heavens and earth was also going
berserk. Intense fluctuations appeared behind Luo Li
and, after that, under countless startled gazes, a vast river appeared, and the
end of the river couldn’t be seen. That river was extremely radiant.
 It was wriggling as if it was an ancient dragon, leaving others stunned by it.

Although this river was just an illusion, the vastness that it gave off left
countless others in a daze. It was so much so that even the Deans of the various
Spiritual Academies had slightly changed, startled expressions on their faces.

The Five Great Deans blinked with graveness as they looked at the ancient river.
Rustle. Vaguely, there was a clear sound of flowing water, and within that sound,
something appeared as if it harboured a peculiar energy that was intoxicated by it.
Luo Li still maintained a calm expression as she formed seals with one hand before
her chest. Boom!Within the wriggling ancient river, a torrential war pillar
instantly soared into the sky as everyone’s expressions changed while witnessing
the river take the form of a colossal pair of wings that unfolded. The Spiritual
Energy between the heavens and earth instantly turned violent. The pillar of water
turned into mist as it descended, revealing a light image that was roughly a
hundred feet high.

The fighter was slim and graceful as it hovered above the ancient river and her
appearance was somewhat similar to Luo Li, but at the same time, it wasn’t.

She lightly flapped her wings as an indescribable beauty was being emitted.

Everyone in this world lost colour in comparison to her.

She was like the embodiment of beauty. Also, everyone could sense a gush of
powerful Spiritual Energy fluctuations around her. They were all dumbfounded as
they watched the scene. Up in the sky, the faces of Ji Xuan and Xue Tianhe couldn’t
help changing.

The former had his brows tightly locked together, while the latter seemed to have
figured something out as a smear of astonishment flashed across his eyes, before he
cried, “That’s the… Luo River's Spirit?”“Luo River's Spirit?”Ji Xuan’s heart was
also startled as his pupils shrank, “The most mysterious Spiritual Beast that was
Rank 5 of the Myriad Beast Records' Earth Ranking?”In the Great Thousand World, the
Myriad Beast Records was divided into two rankings, and the Earth Ranking was a
category of Spiritual Beasts
thus, it was sometimes known as the Spiritual Beast Records.

Within the Spiritual Beast Records, there was a type of Spiritual Beast that was
Ranked 5th, the Luo River's Spirit. From a certain angle, the Luo River's Spirit
was the most mysterious type of existence in the Spiritual Beast Records, since it
wasn’t born through a bloodline, but a mysterious type of existence that used the
Luo River as the mother’s body. In the primordial times of the Great Thousand
World, there was a mysterious river known as the Luo River.

That river seemed to have existed from the primordial times, being extremely
ancient and the power contained within it was endless and profound.

However, it was destroyed in a dreadful tribulation from a foreign invasion.

After that, it was extremely rare for the Luo River's Spirit to appear. The Luo
River's Spirit required a harsh condition to be born.

Not only did it require the Luo River to act as a mother’s body, but it also
required someone to be perfectly compatible with it to fuse with when it was still
in the infant stage within the mother’s body.

Otherwise, the instant a Luo River’s Spirit was born, it would disappear into
nothingness and fade away into the Luo River. The fusion was extremely bizarre as
well.

Not only would it not cause any harm to the main body, it would complement both
parties on the path of cultivation.

Thus, it was known as something that cultivators would drool at. In the primordial
times, before the Luo River was destroyed, there was a group of experts that was
extremely compatible with the Luo River’s Spirit, and this particular group was a
powerful force that played a huge role in protecting the Great Thousand World from
that tribulation. But now that the Luo River was destroyed, it was clearly
impossible for that group to return to glory like it had in the past.

Thus, the Luo River’s Spirit gradually became the most mysterious Spiritual Beast
within the Spiritual Beast Records. The four upper rankings of the Spiritual Beast
Records were the Four Great Spirits: the Azure Dragon, the White Tiger, the
Vermilion Bird and the Black Tortoise.

However, they were only symbolic as the bloodlines possessed by those four were
impossible to be restricted to the Spiritual Beast Records.

Not only did they possess high rankings within the Spiritual Beast Records, it was
even more fearsome in the Myriad Beast Records’ Heavenly Rankings, which was also
commonly known as the Divine Beast Records, in which their rankings were also at
the top ranks.

The sole reason why those four occupied the top four rankings of the Spiritual
Beast Records was that they were required to get through their infant stages before
becoming a genuine Divine Beasts. Thus, speaking from a certain angle, the first
rankings of the Spiritual Beast Records could be considered the Luo River’s Spirit,
which was at the fifth ranking…Furthermore, the Luo River’s Spirit also possessed
the ability to evolve.

Although it wasn't bound by bloodlines, it was extremely dreadful when it evolved,

the Luo River’s Spirit would become the Luo River’s God.

The strength it possessed could only be rivalled by those Sovereign Divine Beasts
that had been cultivating for countless years. This was why the Luo River’s Spirit
was extremely rare at this time, which was the reason why Xue Tianhe and Ji Xuan’s
faces were so unsightly when they saw Luo Li summon that image. “She’s actually the
host of a Luo River’s Spirit, how is that possible…?” Ji Xuan muttered with his
brows knitted. “Although the Luo River has already been destroyed, there are still
remnants of it, and within the Luo God Clan, there is a hidden Luo River.

However, I never expected that that puny remnant of the Luo River could actually
give birth to a Luo River’s Spirit, really… what good fortune!” Xue Tianhe’s face
was ashen as he spoke with his teeth gritting. “So that’s the case. ” Ji Xuan
nodded his head from his explanation. “Hmph, but there’s nothing to fear.

That Luo River’s Spirit is still at its infant stage.

It hasn't fully grown up yet!” Xue Tianhe spoke with a cold snort. Ji Xuan’s gaze
flickered as it returned back to indifference. “Then, I’ll take a look, and see
just what you can do to me. ” Xue Tianhe’s gaze was eerie.

Now that Wen Qingxuan had been defeated, it wasn’t possible for Luo Li to stand
alone.

Even if she revealed such an astonishing trump card of hers, he, Xue Tianhe also
wasn’t trash that could be dealt with so easily. He made an eerie smile towards Luo
Li as he issued a deep roar.

His arms, which were hideous and scarlet-red in colour to begin with, were
inserted into the head of the Demonic Blood Beast.

After that, everyone witnessed his arms violently wriggling, as if a fresh blood-
red being was constantly being injected into the Demonic Blood Beast. As blood
surged in, the hideous Demonic Blood Beast grew even redder in colour.

The spikes that were protruding from its back were slowly extending as it became
even more sinister and dreadful. Roar!The Demonic Blood Beast faced the sky as it
roared, the soaring ominous aura instantly made the colour of the heavens and earth
change. “Demonic Blood Bell!”When Xue Tianhe’s roar resonated, a bloody light
suddenly shot out from the Demonic Blood Beast’s mouth as it expanded and
transformed into a colossal bloody bell. The colossal bloody bell looked as if it
was made from blood.

Even at this moment, blood was still dripping off it.

On the surface of the bell, countless hideous faces were issuing screams that
resounded between the heavens and earth. Furthermore, those screams seemed like
they had the power to affect the heart of a person as countless students around the
Battle Stage felt the Spiritual Energy in their bodies going slightly out of
control, even their blood showed signs of boiling. Boom!The Demonic Blood Beast
brandished its fist as it heavily slammed against the Demonic Blood Bell.

In an instant, torrential ominous aura engulfed the heavens and earth as a hundred
foot bloody light gushed forth.

It was like a roaring dragon that ran along the bizarre sound waves that shot
towards Luo Li. Luo Li raised her eyes.

There weren’t any ripples on her gorgeous face.

She only raised her jade-like hand, and the huge image in possession of absolute
beauty also lifted her hand. Boom!A surging stream that looked gentle charged and
gently clashed with the bloody light. Creak! Creak!In that moment of collision,
there weren’t any Spiritual Energy impacts spreading out.

However, the bloody light instantly broke down as it was dissolved by that clear
and gentle stream of water. The Primordial Luo River originally possessed the
ability to dissolve all things in the world. Smashing Xue Tianhe’s attack with a
move, Luo Li did not provide him any time to recover as she formed seals with her
hand and the clear stream of water converged into torrential waves.

In a flash, it was already above the Demonic Blood Bell as it engulfed it. Creak!
Creak!There was a series of creaking sounds, before the Demonic Blood Bell was
dissolved into nothingness upon being engulfed by the waves. Xue Tianhe’s face
instantly changed. However, before he could unleash another wave of attacks, he
felt the surrounding space being chaotic.

After that, he blinked his eyes as he saw the surrounding space being torn apart.

Torrential clear water rushed out as it turned into a lake, trapping him within.
That attack that looked gentle made Xue Tianhe feel fatal danger.
Chapter 623 - The True Trump Card Crash!The clear flowing sound of water was
lingering in the sky, and because of that crisp noise, many students felt their
scalps numbing.

Clearly, they sensed the dreadful power contained within that gentle flowing water.
The clear and gentle water flow changed from a huge stream into a lake as it
engulfed Xue Tianhe, as well as the Demonic Blood Beast, within. Xue Tianhe’s face
was extremely unsightly as he looked at the clear flowing water that surrounded
him.

However, he wasn’t someone that would sit still and wait for death.

His eyes turned dark as his seals changed, the Demonic Blood Beast roared as it
widened its hideous mouth.

A huge ray of bloody light shot out as rampant Spiritual Energy ripples swept out.
Poof!It wasn’t very effective when the ferocious bloody light slammed against the
wall of water, and under the scour of the water flow, it was rapidly dissipating.
The lake that looked gentle was an impenetrable prison, at this moment, that had
Xue Tianhe imprisoned within. Luo Li stood in midair as she looked at Xue Tianhe,
who was intensely struggling.

Shortly after, she extended her hand as she lightly pointed down. Boom!The gentle
lake suddenly turned violent and vaguely, a savage face started to appear.

The water flows shrunk as torrential waves ruthlessly slammed against the colossal
figure of the Demonic Blood Beast, along with a peculiar ripple. Creak! Creak!
Howling shrieks rang out from the impact of the waves.

Mist rose from the colossal figure of the Demonic Blood Beast as large patches of
blood and flesh were being dissolved.

Naturally, the Demonic Blood Beast was not a corporeal body, it was just the form
of a soul.

What was dissolved weren’t the genuine flesh and blood, but pure Spiritual Energy
and Soul Essences. Thus, faced with the constant scouring of the vast lake,
everyone clearly witnessed the scene of the Demonic Blood Beast’s colossal figure
rapidly shrinking, and clearly, the reason was due to the Spiritual Energy being
constantly exhausted. Xue Tianhe’s face was pale as he stood on the shoulder of the
Demonic Blood Beast, his gaze was overwhelmed with shock.

No matter how he tried to resist, there was no way he could defend against the
gentle and clear-looking lake.

Thus, he could only stare as the Demonic Blood Beast was being dissolved by the
torrential lake. In less than ten breath’s time, the Demonic Blood Beast that was
trapped in the torrential lake already shrunk to half of its original size, even
the violent Spiritual Energy ripples started to wither. “Serpent of the Luo River.
”Luo Li’s gorgeous face still maintained her calm look as she formed seals with one
hand. Hiss!A piercing hiss resounded from the lake and with a rustle, the lake was
torn apart as a dozen water pythons scuttled forth, swinging their tails as they
twined onto the Demonic Blood Beast.

That dreadful energy instantly restricted the movement of the Demonic Blood Beast,
the power behind it seemed to be trying to crush the Demonic Blood Beast to shreds.

Xue Tianhe’s face was hideous as he planted both of his arms into the Demonic Blood
Beast as the blood essence in his body gushed out.
But despite his efforts, he could only barely defend.

Also, he felt that as the pressure was getting stronger, his defence was gradually
withering away. This dissolving ability of the Luo River was simply too
overbearing!When innumerable students around the Battle Stage witnessed that scene,
they could not help exclaiming as no one had thought that Luo Li’s trump cards
would be so powerful when she revealed them.

The instant she moved, she managed to thoroughly suppress Xue Tianhe. “Senior
Sister Luo Li go for it!”Many students in the direction of the Northern Heavens
Spiritual Academy had excited expressions as they yelled their cheers.

Although they lost their strongest participant, Mu Chen, Luo Li’s performance made
them feel startled as well.

Although the Champion of this Great Spiritual Academy Tournament had yet to emerge,
no one could deny that the Northern Heavens Spiritual Academy was the brightest.
Creak!Under the torrential yells, Xue Tianhe’s face grew even paler as creaking
noises came from the body of the colossal Demonic Blood Beast.

It was a sign that it had reached its limits.

If this went on, the Demonic Blood Beast would certainly be destroyed and at that
time, Xue Tianhe would also suffer heavy injuries and wouldn’t have any power to
fight Luo Li. Lii!Just when Xue Tianhe was about to reach his limits, an ancient
hawk cry rang out between the heavens and earth.

Everyone’s eyelids twitched as they saw the illusion of a hawk descending from the
sky.

That illusion looked as if it had torn through space and entered the lake to strike
Xue Tianhe’s body. Boom! Boom!That image flashed as numerous pythons were being
destroyed. Boom!Sensing that the restraint had weakened, Xue Tianhe immediately
controlled the Demonic Blood Beast to soar into the horizon, escaping from the
engulfment of the lake, before he stopped his tracks in midair, looking miserable.

A smear of palpitation flashed across his eyes.

He never expected that after Luo Li unveiled her trump card of the Luo River’s
Spirit, she would become so powerful that he nearly carelessly lost his life.
Seeing Xue Tianhe escape from the imprisonment, Luo Li slightly knitted her brows
as she raised her head, looking at another direction as she spoke with a calm tone,
“You finally summoned the Primordial Skydragon Hawk?”Countless gazes rose as they
saw Ji Xuan standing not far away with vast Spiritual Energy fluctuations behind
him.

Amongst the Spiritual Energy fluctuations, everyone could see the gradual
appearance of a colossal hawk light illusion. That colossal hawk unfolded wings
that could even cover mountains.

It was dark purple in colour and on the head region, it wasn’t the head of a hawk,
but a ferocious dragon.

Its sharp claws were the claws of a dragon.

It was a creature that wasn’t a dragon or a hawk.

The Primordial Skydragon Hawk, Rank 8 of the Spiritual Beast Records. The
Primordial Skydragon Hawk was a pretty violent supreme Spiritual Beast.

Although this Spiritual Beast possessed a slight bloodline of a mixed dragon, it

was precisely the fusion of this bloodline that created a variant.

Thus, allowing the Primordial Skydragon Hawk to surpass it.

Rumour had it that when this Spiritual Beast had cultivated to the end, it could
even feast on dragons.

Naturally… the dragons were only those powerful Spiritual Beasts that possessed a
strand of a dragon’s bloodline.

However, this wasn’t a reason to belittle it, since it proved the ferocity of the
Primordial Skydragon Hawk. “Primordial Skydragon Hawk… although its ranking is
pretty high, you can’t be thinking that you can contend against the Luo River’s
Spirit with it, right?” Luo Li’s pupils were staring at the colossal Primordial
Skydragon Hawk as her voice resounded without any ripples. “Haha, the Luo River’s
Spirit is famed as the Numero Uno of the Spiritual Beast Records.

Naturally, it’s not possible for me to fight it based on the Soul Essence of the
Primordial Skydragon Hawk. ” Ji Xuan made a slight smile as he looked at Luo Li and
continued his speech, “After utilising the Luo River’s Spirit, your strength must
be endlessly close to the Sovereign Realm, right?”The moment his voice resounded,
it made countless students astonished in their hearts as they looked at the
gorgeous silhouette with revere.

The Sovereign Realm… it was a divider that was nearly similar to shredding one’s
mortal body and bones.

Only by entering into the Sovereign Realm, can they be called experts.

Although the Sovereign Realm and Spirit Disaster were only a level apart, the gap
between those two wasn’t something that could be complemented with ordinary means.
Right now, Luo Li was endlessly close to the Sovereign Realm, which also meant that
she was basically invincible beneath the Sovereign Realm.

This sort of strength could make one an Elder of some Spiritual Academies. Xue
Tianhe was startled in his heart as well.

No wonder I was suppressed.

Luo Li’s strength is so powerful to such an extent.

Although they had also gone through the Third Grade Spiritual Disaster, Luo Li
surpassed them by a huge gap. “Originally, I wanted to leave you to Mu Chen to deal
with.

But now, I feel that you’re not even qualified to be his opponent. ” Luo Li said
with a faint tone. The smile on Ji Xuan’s face seemed to freeze a little at this
moment as the corner of his lips twitched.

His charming face also turned ferocious as he stared at Luo Li, as if he wanted to
devour her.

Clearly, the latter’s words had given him a huge impact to the point that he could
not maintain his poker face. “You’re saying that I’m not qualified to be that
loser’s opponent, who had lost to me time and time again?”Ji Xuan deeply inhaled a
mouthful of air as his face distorted.
An eerie laughter seeped from his mouth as he slightly shook his head.

“Deceiving others and deceiving oneself isn’t a good feeling.

If he is that capable, then he should be the one saying that, but it’s a pity that…
he doesn’t have that qualification. ”Luo Li wasn’t enraged from his words, but had
a smile instead.

That smile of hers startled innumerable people as she slowly lifted the Luo God
Sword in her hand.

“It’s not up to you to decide if he has that qualification.

Bring out your true ability, if your trump card is only the Soul Essence of the
Primordial Skydragon Hawk, then I’ll be a little too disappointed. ”Ji Xuan’s
distorted face gradually calmed down as he took a deep glance at Luo Li and slowly
shut his eyes.

He slowly spread his arms as an indifferent voice resonated in the sky. “Since you
are asking for it, then… let me fulfil your request. ”“I will show you which one of
us isn’t qualified to become the other party’s opponent. ”Boom!When Ji Xuan
finished his last word, everyone could sense a dreadful power that surpassed the
boundary of Spirit Disaster sweep from Ji Xuan’s body like a hurricane. That
instant, everyone’s faces changed.

Chapter 624 - Sovereign Sea Boom!The Spiritual Energy between the heavens and earth
turned violent as everyone looked up at the sky in astonishment.

Ji Xuan was standing in midair as he placed both of his hands behind him, looking
as if he was in control of everyone.

The space behind him constantly twisted and fluctuated and showed signs of
rupturing. In the distorted space, a vast ocean could be faintly seen.

The sea looked exceptionally radiant as it was filled with divine light Spiritual
Energy.

The vastness of it could even crush mountains. A peculiar pressure was emitted from
the illusionary ocean.

It was that pressure that changed the faces of countless students with shock in
their eyes.

That pressure wasn’t something a Spirit Disaster expert could possess, it was a
distinct pressure belonging to Sovereign experts!“That’s the Sovereign Sea?”Looking
at the faintly distinctive ocean in the shattered space, someone muttered, since he
couldn’t help inhaling a mouthful of air. A genuine Sovereign expert possessed two
unique traits, the Sovereign Celestial Body and the Sovereign Sea.

Upon reaching this level of cultivation and successfully ascending to the Sovereign
Realm, the Aura Sea within a person would shatter and be replaced with the
Sovereign Sea!Shattering the Aura Sea and forming the Sovereign Sea!Everyone knew
that the Aura Sea was the converging point of Spiritual Energy in the human body.

If other means were excluded, their strength could be measured based on the size of
Spiritual Energy in their body. Naturally, upon reaching the Sovereign Realm, the
Aura Sea would shatter and be replaced with the Sovereign Sea as it was more
complete and robust compared to the Aura Sea. Although the Aura Sea existed in the
body, it was essential to cultivators, but speaking from a particular angle, it was
also the weakest.

The moment the Aura Sea was destroyed, then their path in cultivation would come to
an end, and all their hard work in cultivation would be for nought. As for the
Sovereign Sea, it was incredibly profound.

Not only did it purely exist in the human body, it also formed a profound small
world.

The small world was concealed in the body

thus, compared to the Aura Sea, it was more mysterious, more significant and more
powerful.

The toughness of it was something that the Aura Sea could never be compared to.
Furthermore, the most critical point was that the instant the Sovereign Sea was
formed, it could be concealed in the cultivator's Spirit.

Thus, even if their physical body was destroyed, as long as their Spirit and
Sovereign Sea still existed, it was just a matter of time before they could refine
another physical body. Thus, the Sovereign Sea and Sovereign Celestial Body were
the distinct traits of a Sovereign expert.

One could preserve their life, while the other could increase their fighting
power.

This was also the reason why everyone was drooling for this realm.

But, right now, the illusionary ocean behind Ji Xuan was the Sovereign Sea!Since Ji
Xuan had formed his Sovereign Sea, didn’t that imply that he had ascended to the
Sovereign Realm?!Countless people were exchanging looks as they quietly gulped a
mouthful of saliva.

Their eyes filled with astonishment. Ji Xuan had concealed his strength a little
far too deep.

Now that things have come to this, what’s the point of this competition? The
Sovereign Realm wasn’t something that students of their level could contend with.
In the Northern Heavens Spiritual Academy region, Ye Qingling, Yu Xi and Su
Ling’er’s faces were pale.

Before a genuine Sovereign, all means were useless. “His Sovereign Sea is not
complete yet. ” Ling Xi, who had been staring at the Battle Stage spoke out. When
Ye Qingling and the rest heard her comment, they all instantly directed their gazes
at her. “This Ji Xuan is indeed very talented to touch to foothold of the Sovereign
Realm at such a young age.

However, a genuine Sovereign Sea is way more perfect.

Right now, the edge of that space shows signs of shattering.

Clearly, he is only barely able to form the Sovereign Sea, and the Spiritual Energy
in it is a little too thin.

I’m afraid that he used an external force to accomplish that. ” Ling Xi was, after
all, an Elder of the Northern Heavens Spiritual Academy.
Thus, her eyesight wasn’t something that Ye Qingling and the rest could compare to
so, naturally, she had seen the flaws of Ji Xuan’s Sovereign Sea. However, when she
complemented Ji Xuan’s talent, she neglected the fact that her age wasn't much
different from his.

If he was very talented, then she was a monster amongst monsters.

Naturally, the more significant reason was that she had followed Mu Chen’s mother
for some time. Nurtured by an expert compatible with a Heavenly Sovereign, this was
a rare honour that not many people could experience in the Great Thousand World.
“Is that so…”Ye Qingling and the rest felt relieved from her words. “But don’t be
too optimistic.

Even if it isn’t a complete Sovereign Sea, the power in it far surpasses Spirit
Disaster.

Although Luo Li possesses the Luo River’s Spirit, it is a Growth-type Spiritual

Beast.

And at this stage, the power it can aid her isn’t as big as you guys imagine. ”
Ling Xi lightly shook her head as she poured a pail of cold water onto them. Ye
Qingling and the rest bitterly smiled as they nodded their heads.

At the current situation, there was nothing they could do to help Luo Li but to
pray for her victory. Ling Xi slightly raised her head as her pair of charming eyes
pierced through the Battle Stage to the Mirror of Judgement that hovered in midair
as she went silent for a moment before muttering to herself, “Are you going to give
up in this way…?”The Spiritual Energy between the heavens and earth violently
whistled as Ji Xuan proudly stood in the air.

Under the vast ocean that was faintly visible from the shattered space, his
temperament seemed to be slightly overlooking all heroes in disdain. “Luo Li, do
you still feel that he is qualified to be my opponent?” Ji Xuan sneered as he
slowly spoke while looking at Luo Li. Facing Ji Xuan’s sneer, Luo Li did not bother
to dispute with him and revealed a faint smile.

However, it was this expression of hers that made Ji Xuan’s face a little hideous
as he sensed the meaning behind that gentle smile of hers. She was in disdain to
dispute with him as she had an unshakable answer in her heart. “I’ll see how long
you can last.

No matter what you think, at least others will understand that he is only a
loser!”Ji Xuan’s gaze turned eerie as he took a step forth.

A chill surged in his eyes as he flipped his palm over and abruptly pushed out.
Boom!The Spiritual Energy between the heavens and earth turned violent at this
moment as an astonishing gush of Spiritual Energy swept out from the vast ocean,
forming into a corporeal palm of divine light as it slammed down. Rumble!The firm
golden ground cracked.

Ji Xuan did not execute any technique as he only used pure and vast Spiritual
Energy.

But precisely so, the power of this attack was indescribable. Luo Li’s eyes flashed
cold as she tightened her grip on the Luo God Sword.

The Luo River’s Spirit within the ancient wriggling Luo River behind her also made
a grasping gesture as lake water gushed forth, forming into a large longsword and
the both of them slashed down. Whoosh!A sword light of a thousand feet brandished
down, along with absolute piercing Sword Intent that soared into the skies. Boom!
The sword light and divine light violently clashed.

The blast wave swept out, wreaking havoc as it swept up a hurricane. “I’ll see how
long you can last under my attacks!”Ji Xuan eerily smiled as he tapped the sole of
his feet and his figure soared into the sky.

In that instant, he lifted both of his hands.

Everyone felt the heavens and earth jolt as the Sovereign Sea concealed in the
space was flipping with waves.

Countless rays of divine light soared into the sky and rapidly converged into huge
palms. That scene made innumerable people feel their scalps numbing.

Such a powerful attack was incredibly exhausting for the Spiritual Energy, and
right now, Ji Xuan was doing it so casually. The heavens and earth darkened.

The countless palms of divine light were like meteors as they tore through the
heavens and earth as they descended towards Luo Li. Luo Li’s face was heavy as she
deeply inhaled a mouthful of air and lifted her hand.

The Luo River swept out as it protected her within, it was wriggling like a water
dragon as it coiled around. Boom! Boom! Boom!Countless palms were slamming against
the Luo River from multiple directions, even the Golden Battle Stage showed signs
of being incapable of withstanding it from the impacts as huge cracks were
continually spreading out. Everyone lifted their heads at this scene. They could
see that the Luo River protecting Luo Li was rapidly dimming from the dreadful
attacks of the palms made of divine light. Countless students of the Northern
Heavens Spiritual Academy tightly clenched their teeth and fists. Anyone could tell
that the force of Ji Xuan’s Spiritual Energy had reached a degree that even Luo Li
couldn’t withstand. Boom! Boom!Luo Li started to sway and had finally reached her
limits.

Along with a crisp sound, the Luo River turned into sparkles of light in the sky
and exploded, the Luo River’s Spirit had also dissipated at this moment as it
turned into a ray of light and entered Luo Li’s body. Luo Li issued a faint groan
as her slender figure was sent flying back. “Watch out!”When Luo Li’s defence was
broken, Wen Qingxuan’s face abruptly changed as she saw a torrential bloody light
at the rear of Luo Li.

Xue Tianhe appeared with a hideous expression on his face as he launched a punch
towards the fatal point behind Luo Li. Wen Qingxuan clenched her teeth as she
tapped her feet and pushed the remnant Spiritual Energy in her body as she swiftly
appeared behind Luo Li.

She was actually going to help Luo Li withstand Xue Tianhe’s attack. “Senior
Sister!”In the area of the Myriad Phoenix Spiritual Academy, the faces of
innumerable girls changed. “Xue Tianhe, you bastard!” In the Northern Heavens
Spiritual Academy, many students were cursing in rage as well.

Clearly, that despicable move from Xue Tianhe had attracted their anger. “Hmph!”Xue
Tianhe’s face was eerie when he faced the curses.

Not only did he not pull back his punch, he even utilised all the Spiritual Energy
in his body and threw a heavy punch towards Wen Qingxuan and Luo Li.

He was apparently going to be ruthless and ruin the flowers. The situation was
perilous. “Go die!” Xue Tianhe roared with sinister laughter as his punch landed,
showing no quarter. Rumble!However, just when Xue Tianhe’s fist was about to hit
Wen Qingxuan, an extremely violent thunder roared. Up in the sky, the Deans of the
various Spiritual Academies, as well as the Five Great Deans, blinkered their eyes
as they swiftly looked at the Mirror of Judgement. Ripples appeared on the surface
of the Mirror of Judgement, and after that, an eye-piercing radiance shot out.

The speed of that lightning was neck-breaking, and it took merely an instant for it
to appear above Wen Qingxuan.

After that, everyone saw a fist that looked to have been made from lightning pierce
through space and heavily slammed against Xue Tianhe’s body. Boom!Xue Tianhe’s
figure was instantly shot down and became deeply embedded in the Golden Battle
Stage.

His upper body was already severely mangled up from the attack. Thus, the curses
that were initially filling this region instantly came to a halt. Innumerable
people were stunned for a moment, before quickly raising their heads to see a
slender silhouette walking out of the lightning.

He made an embrace with his arms as he held onto Luo Li and Wen Qingxuan’s slim
waists.

After that, his figure flashed and appeared above the Golden Battle Stage.

Lightning gradually weakened, and a slender and towering silhouette slowly emerged
before everyone’s eyes.

Chapter 625 - Mu Chen Appears Lightning flickered on the Golden Batte Stage.

Along with the dissipation of lightning, a familiar silhouette gradually appeared

under the countless astonished gazes. When they clearly saw the appearance of that
silhouette, innumerable people instantly blinked their eyes so much so that there
were even some were blinking their eyes with fear written on their faces, as if
they had seen a ghost. “That’s… Mu Chen?!”“Wasn’t he trapped in the Mirror of
Judgement? Why is he here?”“How is that possible… could he have possibly escaped
from the Mirror of Judgement?”“That’s way too frightening…”“…”A commotion rang out
between the heaven and earth.

Almost everyone had their eyes widened in disbelief.

Clearly, the shock this scene brought them wasn’t inferior to Ji Xuan bringing out
his Sovereign Sea…The students of the Northern Heavens Spiritual Academy were also
startled as they watched this scene.

However, they swiftly recovered from their shock as ecstasy surged in their eyes,
followed by deafening cheers. “Woah, Brother Mu has appeared!”“Haha, no wonder he’s
the Overlord of our Northern Heavens Spiritual Academy’s Heavenly Ranking!”“Brother
Mu, deal with those two bastards!”Every single student of the Northern Heavens
Spiritual Academy revealed an excited expression.

Although Luo Li possessed surprising strength as well, she had been too low profile
in the Northern Heavens Spiritual Academy, whereas Mu Chen had charged forth with
appalling speed ever since he entered and became the brightest star of the academy.
Moreover, as he surpassed his limits time and time again, he started to receive the
genuine acknowledgement from everyone in the academy, even when he replaced Shen
Cangsheng as the Overlord of the Heavenly Ranking.
No one was unconvinced by it, since they knew that he did possess that sort of
qualification. Unknowingly, in the hearts of every student, Mu Chen had become the
benchmark of their Northern Heavens Spiritual Academy, which also became a sort of
conviction. Thus, when they saw the appearance of Mu Chen, the excitement in their
hearts could not be concealed and leaked out. “This fellow…” Su Ling’er’s eyes
flickered with radiance as she looked at the slender silhouette in the Golden
Battle Stage.

She bit her rosy lips as her hands became tightly clenched from the excitement.
“Big Brother Mu Chen finally appeared, I knew he wouldn’t let us disappointed!” Yu
Xi’s face was filled with revere. Ye Qingling also took a breath of relief as she
looked at the sudden burst of splendour in the eyes of Northern Heavens Spiritual
Academy’s students.

Initially, they were a little dejected, but at this moment, they seemed to have
been injected with unbounded confidence as their faces were filled with excitement.

It appears that they have always believed that as long as Mu Chen appeared, he
would be able to turn the situation around.

Because ever since Mu Chen entered the Northern Heavens Spiritual Academy, he had
never let anyone feel disappointed in his actions. That youth gave others an
irresistible faith that came from his self-confidence. No matter how powerful his
opponent was, he never retreated and was overflowing with fighting intent. “Showing
off to save beauties the moment he appears, really…” Ling Xi lightly smiled as her
tensed figure also gradually loosened up.

A smile hung on the corner of her lips as Mu Chen’s performance had not
disappointed her. And under the earth-shattering commotion, Mu Chen lowered his
head as he glanced at the two girls in his embrace on the Golden Battle Stage as he
spoke, “Are the two of you alright?Luo Li’s gaze was filled with pleasant surprise
as she looked at the familiar face with a smile and shook her head shortly after.

When Wen Qingxuan saw Mu Chen’s face, she was also stunned, before being woken up
by the commotion and realised that Mu Chen was embracing her waist.

In an instant, her face flushed red as she immediately struggled in Mu Chen’s arm
as she stared at him with hatred. “You’re trying to take advantage of me?”Looking
at the raging girl, Mu Chen spoke with helplessness, “Look at the situation, I’m
saving you, okay?”“Hmph, does it feel good to embrace one in each hand?” Wen
Qingxuan was unconvinced as she snorted, “Furthermore, your demeanour is a little
too bad to let two girls fight for so long!”Mu Chen scratched his head as he looked
at Ji Xuan, who was in midair.

His black pupils flashed with eerie light as he showed a faint smile.

“Sorry about that, I'll be taking over the battle. ”“Can you do it? That fellow
even established his Sovereign Sea.

Although he isn’t a genuine Sovereign Realm expert, he is still an existence that

we can’t hold a candle to. ” Despite glancing at him with doubt, there was a hint
of worry in the depth of Wen Qingxuan’s eyes. “Let me help you.

I can still fight.

Although he has established his Sovereign Sea, if I were to fight, I might not lose
to him. ” Luo Li also spoke out in a soft tone. Mu Chen smiled as he lightly shook
his head.
“I have been waiting a long time for this battle. ”Luo Li went into silence as she
did not speak any longer.

Furthermore, she knew that this battle before her eyes belonged to Mu Chen. “Be
cautious. ”Luo Li and Wen Qingxuan exchanged a glance as they both slowly backed
off and shifted their cold gazes towards Xue Tianhe, who was gravely injured and
embedded in the Battle Stage by Mu Chen.

Although he had already lost all of his fighting strength, the two girls clearly
despised of all his despicable actions earlier
thus, they would definitely not let him off so easily. Mu Chen wasn’t bothered by
Xue Tianhe’s situation as he slowly rose into the air, before standing right in
front of Ji Xuan as they faced each other. Ji Xuan’s gaze was cold.

Ever since Mu Chen appeared, his gaze was fixed on him as chill and killing intent
intertwined in the depth of his eyes.

In the end, he outlined a savage smile and slightly leaned his head as he stared
at Mu Chen, “I never thought that you’d be able to escape.

What a surprise. ”“This is only the beginning of your surprise. ” Mu Chen smiled.

However, there wasn’t any warmth in his smile as cold killing intent was also
present in his eyes as he felt the disorder of Spiritual Energy around Luo Li.

Clearly, she was injured from her earlier battle with Ji Xuan. Ji Xuan lightly
shook his head as he answered, “It doesn’t matter now since you’re able to escape.

It merely fits my intention.

I wonder, if I thoroughly defeat you here, will those students of the Northern
Heavens Spiritual Academy still revere and have confidence in you?”He clearly saw
the splendour burst out from the innumerable students of the Northern Heavens
Spiritual Academy.

If he defeated Mu Chen now, those eyes would only be lit for a moment, before
dimming down.

Which would be a wonderful thrill for him. Mu Chen smiled, but he did not reply to
his words.

He slowly clenched his fists as boundless Spiritual Energy became like a volcano
as it erupted. Boom!A gush of powerful Spiritual Energy fluctuated around Mu Chen.

The robust even surpassed before. “Mhm? Third Grade Spirit Disaster?”Ji Xuan’s
brows twitched as he sensed that Spiritual Energy fluctuation as a smear of mockery
was revealed from the corner of his lips.

“Looks like you benefitted quite a bit in the Mirror of Judgement. ”Before
entering the Mirror of Judgement, Mu Chen’s strength was only at First Grade Spirit
Disaster and right now, his power had reached the Third Grade Spirit Disaster.

Evidently, this showed that Mu Chen had broken through Second Grade Spirit
Disaster in the Mirror of Judgement…“However, this level of Spiritual Energy
doesn’t have the slightest threat to me right now. ” Ji Xuan smiled as his face
instantly turned cold.

His finger pointed out as a sizeable divine light gushed forth from the Sovereign
Sea behind him.
 It turned into a corporeal form, shuttling through space and shot towards Mu Chen.
With a casual point of his finger, the Spiritual Energy fluctuation had far
surpassed the experts of Third Grade Spirit Disaster. Boom!Yet when the astonishing
Spiritual Energy ripples of divine light shot over, Mu Chen still maintained a calm
expression as brilliant lightning burst forth from his body.

Those lightning bolts were like starch as they coiled around Mu Chen and swiftly
integrated into his body. Tsk! Tsk!Mu Chen’s skin turned utterly radiant like
silver from the flickering of lightning as numerous lightning runes appeared with
flickers on his chest. One rune… five runes… seven runes… eight runes… nine runes!
Right now, Mu Chen’s Lightning God’s Physique had actually reached the height of
Nona Lightning Physique!When the ninth lightning rune appeared, Mu Chen’s black
pupils looked to have been forged from lightning.

With lightning flickered within them, it was like a world of lightning. He strode
forth and threw a punch out. Rumble!Despite his fist looking slow, it only took an
instant for it to slam against the divine light.

Lightning gushed out as it tore the divine light apart in an overbearing manner
with just a fist!“You’re trying to contend against a Sovereign with the strength of
your physique? What a ludicrous dream!” Seeing the starch of lightning around Mu
Chen’s body, Ji Xuan’s gaze was grave as he sneered.

Although he felt that Mu Chen’s current physical body was compelling, it was too
naïve for Mu Chen to think that he could contend against him. “You’re considered a
Sovereign Realm expert?”Mu Chen smiled as he focused his gaze onto the vast
Sovereign Sea behind Ji Xuan.

He lifted the corner of his lips and slowly said, “It’s just an incomplete
Sovereign Sea.

Did you really think that… only you have it?”Hearing Mu Chen’s words, Ji Xuan
abruptly shrunk his eyes.

Chapter 626 - Mu Chen’s Sovereign Sea Up in the sky, Ji Xuan was looking at Mu
Chen, who was covered in lightning, with a cold gaze.

He was reading with his eyes.

The words Mu Chen previously said made him blink his eyes
but soon, a mocking smile lifted from the corner of his lips.

“Oh? Really?”Clearly, he didn’t believe that Mu Chen could possess a Sovereign

Sea.

After all, no matter what sort of luck he encountered, it was impossible for a
Third Grade Spirit Disaster to establish his Sovereign Sea in such a short amount
of time. However, Mu Chen did not reply to Ji Xuan’s mocking laughter and only
responded with a smile.

Shortly after, a cold arc lifted on his face as his pupils that were filled with
lightning grew even colder as he suddenly formed seals with his hands!Whoosh!A
scarlet pillar of light soared into the horizon from Mu Chen’s head and at the same
time, a palpitating Baleful Aura spread out between the heavens and earth.

It was like an ominous primordial beast being born. Everyone raised their heads as
they looked. Within the scarlet pillar of light stood a sizeable demonic pillar.

The surface of the demonic pillar had traces of age.

The cause for some of the ferocious-looking traces could not be determined.

However, anyone could figure out that this Great Meru Demonic Pillar had
experienced a bitter and astonishing battle. Bizarre runes could be vaguely seen on
the demonic pillar.

Those runes were like chains as they coiled around the pillar.

From the looks of it, they seemed to be restricting the Great Meru Demonic Pillar.
Those runes were naturally seals done by Mu Chen using that mysterious Immortal
Page in his body. After all, the Great Meru Demonic Pillar was too ominous, and it
was impossible for the past Mu Chen to control it.

Thus it could only be sealed. However, the seals… it’s time to remove them. Cold
light flashed across Mu Chen’s eyes as his figure moved.

He appeared before the Great Meru Demonic Pillar as he formed hand seals with one
hand and slapped the demonic pillar. Buzz. A ripple spread from Mu Chen’s palm mark
as the Immortal Page hidden in his Aura Sea burst forth with faint a buzzing sound.

Dark purple lights were emitted and gushed from Mu Chen’s palm. “Remove seal!”A
faint voice resounded from Mu Chen’s heart. Tsk! Tsk!The dark purple seal on the
surface of the Great Meru Demonic Pillar was swiftly dissolving. Boom!As the seal
dissolved, the Great Meru Demonic Pillar intensely trembled since the hundred foot
demonic pillar was no longer subjected to Mu Chen’s control and swiftly expanded.

Looking from far away, it was like a towering pillar that pierced the sky.

Along with the Baleful Aura emitting from the demonic pillar, it was expanding at
a rapid speed, instantly dying the entire region in red. That Baleful Aura made the
hearts of others palpitate.

It was so much so that even those Deans of the various academies in midair had
their facial expressions slightly changed from the dreadful Baleful Aura. Dean Tai
Cang was also watching this scene with narrowed eyes narrowed.

A smear of astonishment flashed across his eyes as he muttered, “Trying to unseal

the Great Meru Demonic Pillar? Such a Primordial Ominous Artifact is not something
that can be so easily controlled…”The Great Meru Demonic Pillar was the most
important treasure of the Demonic Dragon Palace.

Thus Dean Tai Cang had some knowledge about it.

He was also well-aware of its power.

Back when they battled the Demonic Dragon Palace, if they had fully restored this
Great Meru Demonic Pillar, it wouldn’t be easy for them to obtain victory, even
with the help of the Northern Sea Dragon. And right now, the Great Meru Demonic
Pillar was in Mu Chen’s hands, but with his current strength, can he control it? If
he failed to control this Ominous Artifact, he might be devoured by it instead.
Everyone in this region was looking at the demonic pillar, with its torrential
Baleful Aura, that was in the sky. Mu Chen had also raised his head as he looked at
the sizeable demonic pillar before him.

After unsealing it, red cracks were appearing on the surface of the demonic pillar.
Those cracks were like the mouths of demons as they continuously spurt out
startling a Baleful Aura, revealing the most sinister look of the Great Meru
Demonic Pillar. Mu Chen’s figure moved, and he appeared above the Great Meru
Demonic Pillar. Boom!The instant he landed on it, the demonic pillar jolted as a
surge of Baleful Aura turned into a blood light that engulfed him.

It was impossible for such an Ominous Artifact to be tamed so easily.

Its origin wasn’t simple.

It was natural for such a powerful Ominous Artifact to possess spirituality.

In the past, when it was sealed by Mu Chen, it could only stay latent, and now that
it was unsealed, it was naturally no longer willing to be controlled by Mu Chen.
“Hmph. ” Facing the devouring nature of the Great Meru Demonic Pillar, Mu Chen
issued a cold snort, since he had long expected this.

He heavily stomped his foot as dark purple runes swiftly spread out from his feet,
and as the runes spread out, the Baleful Aura withered down like waves. Although
the Great Meru Demonic Pillar was overbearing and violent, he possessed the
Immortal Page in his body that could restrain its power. After suffering the attack
from Mu Chen, the Great Meru Demonic Pillar finally behaved and no longer tried to
devour Mu Chen. “Since you’re behaving now, then unleash your power and lend it to
me!”Mu Chen felt the silent Great Meru Demonic Pillar as he smiled.

Shortly after, he sat down on the demonic pillar and lifted both of his hands.

Scarlet-red Baleful Aura soared towards the horizon as it formed a corporeal red
pillar of light that engulfed Mu Chen. Tsk! Tsk!An endless supply of Baleful Aura
was pouring into Mu Chen’s body.

It was like a ferocious dragon that charged into Mu Chen’s aura sea. After the seal
was undone, the Great Meru Demonic Pillar was several folds more violent compared
to before.

The thickness of the Baleful Aura was far greater than in the past. Violent and
vast Baleful Aura continuously poured into his aura sea and started to dye it in
red.

Gradually, the accommodation of his aura sea reached the limit as an intense pain
surged. However, Mu Chen did not move in the slightest from the intense pain, he
still poured the Baleful Aura from the Great Meru Demonic Pillar into his aura sea
without concern. Tsk.

Tsk. The intense pain continued to surge, and when his aura sea could not contain
anymore Baleful Aura, the centre of his aura sea was gradually twisting, and when
the distortion reached the limit, a tiny black spot suddenly appeared.

That black spot was tiny, but a peculiar ripple was being emitted.

It was as if a bizarre space was being hidden in the black spot. The instant the
black spot appeared, a terrifying suction force burst out, which made the Baleful
Aura in his aura sea to whistle in a moment and was devoured by that tiny black
spot. In just a few moments, his aura sea was emptied once again without the
slightest Spiritual Energy present. At the peak of the demonic pillar, Mu Chen’s
body finely trembled as he raised his head and smiled at Ji Xuan, who was in
midair, far away.
He stood up and slowly opened his hands. Boom!Space suddenly distorted behind Mu
Chen as a blood-red ocean slowly appeared.

It was a similarly vast Spiritual Energy ocean, except that it was dyed in red,
almost like converging blood
looking extremely bloody. No one paid attention to how bloody it was, but all of
them were looking at the blood-red ocean in the distorted space behind Mu Chen,
some of them were even overwhelmed with shock. Sovereign Sea!Mu Chen has actually
established a Sovereign Sea as well?!“Big Brother Mu Chen established a Sovereign
Sea as well?” Yu Xi was pleasantly surprised when she witnessed that scene. Ye
Qingling and the rest also had a strange expression on their faces.

After all, before he entered the Mirror of Judgement, Mu Chen’s strength was only
at the First Grade Spirit Disaster, but now, he had actually established a
Sovereign Sea in just a step, wasn’t that a little too fearsome?“That’s not the
Sovereign Sea established by Mu Chen. ”Ling Xi lightly shook her head as she
continued, “He only established a ‘Sovereign Source’ and filled it up with the
Baleful Aura of the Great Meru Demonic Pillar.

However, this strength doesn’t belong to it, so it can’t grow without end.

This Sovereign Sea can only exist for a short period of time and will disappear,
which is precisely his aim. ”The so-called Sovereign Source was the primary form of
the Sovereign Sea.

However, it required one to perfect it with their own Spiritual Energy to form a
genuine Sovereign Sea.

But, right now, Mu Chen didn’t have that luxury of time, so he had to use another
method.

By borrowing the power of the Great Meru Demonic Pillar to fill up the Sovereign
Source, he made a fake Sovereign Sea. But, at this point of time, it wasn’t part of
his concern if the Sovereign Sea was real or fake, he just needed its strength.
After he possessed a Sovereign Sea, Ji Xuan’s advantage would be non-existent. With
the Nona Lightning Rune Physique and the Sovereign Sea, Mu Chen was genuinely
invincible beneath the Sovereign Realm. The scarlet-red Sovereign Sea was rolling
the distorted space.

Mu Chen slowly lifted his head as he looked at Ji Xuan, whose expression was dark
at the moment.

Thr smear of a cold arc rose on the corner of Mu Chen’s lip as he extended his
hand out and bent his fingers
making a provoking gesture. The youth was standing on top of the sizeable demonic
pillar with one scarlet-red eye and another one with flickering lightning, along
with black lightning coiling around his body. An indescribable pressure slowly
spreads out and compared to Ji Xuan, it was even more powerful!Right now, Mu Chen
was like a killing god as he intimidated the entire field.

Chapter 627 - Punch of a Sovereign Mu Chen stood on the Great Meru Demonic Pillar
as the Baleful Aura swept out in this region.

The pressure from the moment it burst made everyone hold their breath. Everyone had
their heads raised up as they looked at the towering slender silhouette.

His face was filled with coldness and killing intent, coldly staring at Ji Xuan
from far away with a scarlet-red eye and the other one flickering with lightning as
he calmly said, “There wasn’t a result back then, let us put an end to things now.
”Ji Xuan’s gaze was dark as he slowly replied, “Looks like I did a little extra in
the Mirror of Judgement, which gave you a fortune. ”Judging from the current
situation, Mu Chen clearly obtained a considerable fortune when he was trapped in
the Spiritual Energy vortex.

Thus, giving leaps and bounds to his strength, reaching Third Grade Spirit Disaster
and even established his own Sovereign Sea at this moment, and standing on the same
level as him right now. When Mu Chen gave no comment to his speech, the chill in
his eyes grew colder. “But fortunately, you have not disappointed me.

Otherwise, my fear for you would've been a joke. ” Ji Xuan slowly grasped his hand,
and divine light gathered, forming into a beautiful, divine long spear in a flash.

The shape of this spear was very unusual as there was a pair of wings unfolding on
the body of the spear.

Those wings looked similar to that of an angel’s. Vigorous and blazing divine light
spread out in circles with formidable ripples being emitted from it. “Angel Spear…”
Dean Tai Cang blinked his eyes when he saw the long spear in Ji Xuan’s hand that
was emitting powerful ripples and spoke with a faint tone, “What a huge hand from
the Saint Spiritual Academy, even giving the Low Rank Divine Artifact of the
academy to Ji Xuan. ”“Haha, Ji Xuan displayed an outstanding performance in the
academy and with contributions.

Thus, we gave him the Angel Spear. ” Dean Tiansheng of the Saint Spiritual Academy
responded with a slight smile, “But even though this Angel Spear is indeed
formidable, compared to that demonic pillar of Mu Chen’s, it’s still a little
inferior.

Looks like the Northern Heavens Spiritual Academy spent a great amount of effort as
well. ”Clearly, he didn’t feel that the Great Meru Demonic Pillar was obtained by
Mu Chen himself and was bestowed upon by the Northern Heavens Spiritual Academy.
Dean Tai Cang sneered and wasn’t bothered to explain much as he shifted his gaze
onto the two in midair.

The atmosphere in that area was increasingly hostile. Everyone looked at the sky
with gazes of excitement and expectations.

The two before them probably stood at the highest peak amongst all the Spiritual
Academies of their generation.

Their confrontation would definitely be the fight for the Championship and would
also be the brightest fight in this tournament. Buzz!Under the countless stares, Ji
Xuan gripped his longspear tighter, and in the next instant, his gaze grew abruptly
cold.

His body trembled, disappearing from his spot.

Boom!But in the next instant he disappeared, Mu Chen threw out a fist without any
hesitation towards the space before him. Rumble!Black lightning frantically surged
as lightning mixed into the vast Spiritual Energy.

It was like an enraged dragon roaring.

The offensive power behind that fist could even cause a Third Grade Spirit Disaster
to suffer grave injuries. In the empty space, an extremely sharp longspear tore
it’s way out with divine light surging.
The overbearing blaze even caused distortions in the area.

The longspear swept across, before the piercing speartip swiftly clashed against
the fist enveloped in lightning. Boom!A metallic collision rang out. A dreadful
gale swept out from the fist and spear, spreading out visible layers of
fluctuations. Mu Chen’s body did not move in the slightest as he looked up ahead.

The spaxe was a little distorted, and Ji Xuan’s silhouette was nowhere in sight,
only a longspear had pierced through space. “Meaningless probing, is there still
any meaning for it?”Mu Chen maintained indifference as he threw another punch
forth.

That punch was similar to lightning as it streaked across the horizon and swiftly
bombarded the empty space with an indescribable speed. Rumble!Lightning exploded in
the emptiness, and a figure was sent flying away.

The figure was pushed back a dozen of steps in the air, before he could stabilise
himself.

Everyone directed their gazes over and saw Ji Xuan, who was wearing a dark
expression, wielding that longspear. “Hmph. ”Ji Xuan snorted with a cold gaze as
the look in his eyes turned heavy, before he formed hand seals with both hands.

The space behind him distorted as myriads of light exploded from the Sovereign Sea
that was filled with divine light.

Shortly after, the Sovereign Sea violently whistled, and many rays of divine light
shot out. “Sacred Light Art - Prison of the Angels!”Along with Ji Xuan’s cold bark
resounding, countless rays of divine light converged into hundreds of divine light
humanoid figures.

The appearance of those humanoid figures wasn’t clear, but they all had a pair of
wings flapping behind them.

Every single one of those divine light figures was emitting powerful Spiritual
Energy ripples that weren’t inferior to Spirit Disaster experts. Innumerable people
inwardly smacked their lips around the Golden Battle Stage.

Ji Xuan was indeed formidable to have cultivated such a profound Divine Art.

What he did was basically no different to scattering seeds into soldiers.

Just this move alone revealed the difference between the Sovereign Realm and Spirit
Disaster.

It wasn’t something an ordinary method could compete against.

If Mu Chen hadn’t established his own Sovereign Sea at this point in time, he might
not even be able to fight with Ji Xuan. “Kill!”Ji Xuan’s gaze was cold as the
longspear in his hand trembled, and those light figures immediately charged out,
whistling in the air.

They formed into a formation and engulfed Mu Chen. Rustle! Rustle!Those divine
angels wielded longspears made of divine light as they shot towards Mu Chen.
“Scram!”Mu Chen’s gaze grew cold as well as he stomped his feet, countless scarlet
rays of light swept out from the scarlet Sovereign Sea and shot towards those
approaching angels. However, the instant the two forces clashed, a cold arc rose on
the corner of Ji Xuan’s lips as he changed his hand seals, “Angel’s Burial!”Boom!
Boom! Boom!Earth-shattering explosions resounded as the angels suddenly exploded,
forming into a terrible divine light hurricane that enveloped Mu Chen.

The hurricane was approximately a thousand feet in size, creating large cracks on
the Golden Battle Stage underneath. That terrifying commotion made innumerable
people lose colour on their faces.

It was scarce for a confrontation of such a level to occur in the Great Spiritual
Academy Tournament. The divine light hurricane violently wreaked havoc as everyone
had their eyes fixed on it.

Under such a fearsome attack, even Mu Chen would have a hard time dealing with it,
right?The divine light hurricane gradually dispersed as numerous gazes were staring
at it without blinking and, shortly after, suppressed trembling commotions rang
out.

Even Ji Xuan slightly narrowed his eyes in the sky. The hurricane faded away and up
in the sky, there was still a silhouette standing in the air, it was Mu Chen. His
clothes were torn apart with lightning flowing on the surface of his body and nine
lightning runes flickering on his chest, the roaring of thunder constantly rang out
from him.

Aside from having his clothing shattered, there weren’t any injuries on Mu Chen.

It was as if the offensive attack from before did no harm to him. “What a fearsome
physical body…” Someone exclaimed in astonishment and gulped a mouthful of saliva.
Up in midair, the youth was naked on his upper body, his skin was radiating like
silver.

Although his slender figure wasn’t robust or masculine, it was this frail body of
his that made others feel as if he couldn’t be rocked by the falling of the sky or
rending of the earth. Both of Mu Chen’s eyes were radiating at this moment, even
the powerful Baleful Aura in his body could not control the violent lightning.

Both of his fists were tightly clenched as his eyes that were flickering with
lightning stared at Ji Xuan with indifference.

It was like a deity looking at an ant from high above. “If your attack is only at
this level, then it’s my turn. ”Although Mu Chen’s speech was slow, it was
accompanied by the roaring of lightning as it fell along with every single one of
his words.

The rumbling noise resonating in this region shook even the Spiritual Energy
between the heavens and earth. Rumble!When Mu Chen finished his last word, someone
detected that the sky had darkened and abruptly raised his head.

Overwhelmed with shock, that person saw layers of thunderclouds in the air that had
appeared who knows when.

Those thunderclouds engulfed an area of a few thousand feet in radius.

No one dared to breathe too heavily from the pitch-black thunderclouds. Silver
lightning was flickering in the thunderclouds, like lightning dragons wriggling as
they emitted great pressure. Boom!The thunderclouds moved.

A massive bolt of lightning tore through the layers of clouds as it dived down.

However, the direction of the lightning wasn’t Ji Xuan, it going to heavily strike
Mu Chen. Boom!The vast lightning profoundly struck Mu Chen, but there wasn’t any
lightning that flowed out as it was all absorbed into Mu Chen’s physical body. Tsk!
Tsk!The black lightning started to solidify on the surface of Mu Chen’s body and in
just a few breaths’ time, a layer of black lightning armour was formed.

It had a ferocious appearance when it appeared on Mu Chen’s body.

Under the lightning armour, Mu Chen’s figure seemed to have swollen up by several
folds, becoming a lightning giant. The fluctuations emitted from his body was
extremely dreadful. “One move is all I need to deal with you. ”Under the amour, a
pair of eyes flickering with lightning fixed onto Ji Xuan as a rumbling noise
resonated between the heavens and earth.

Mu Chen strode forth, and in the next instant, he had already mysteriously appeared
above Ji Xuan and threw a punch forth.

That punch wasn’t fancy, but it contained pure violent power. At this instant, the
lightning in the thunderclouds danced along with the torrential Spiritual Energy
that was gushing out from the scarlet Sovereign Sea and poured into Mu Chen’s arm.
The Nona Rune Lightning Physique and the power of his Sovereign Sea were converged
into a single point as he threw a simple punch forth. Boom!Space shattered with
that punch. That punch made Ji Xuan’s expression instantly change, even the Deans
of the various academies had exceptionally solemn expressions on their faces, since
this punch of Mu Chen’s actually possessed the might of a genuine Sovereign Realm
expert!

Chapter 628 - Ji Xuan’s Final Trump Card Boom!The heavens and earth seemed to have
trembled at this instant.

The might of this fist from Mu Chen, who he had been brewing about for so long,
reached a level that even he had not expected himself.

This was the perfect fusion of his physique and Spiritual Energy.

The two surges of energy complemented one another that it might've been sufficient
to slaughter any opponent beneath the cultivation of Sovereign Realm. Facing this
punch from Mu Chen, even Ji Xuan’s expression drastically changed with a smear of
horror in his eyes. Boom!Fine cracks appeared in the space under Mu Chen’s fist,
looking like glass that had been shattered. The fist that was flickering with
dreadful lightning swiftly expanded before Ji Xuan’s eyes.

He clenched his teeth as he formed seals with both of his hands.

A myriad of divine light burst forth from his Sovereign Sea and swiftly converged
before him.

In just a few breaths’ time, a hundred foot wide divine shield was formed. “Angel’s
Divine Shield!”The divine shield was exceptionally simple and unadorned with a pair
of angelic wings unfolding on top of it, giving off a strong feeling from it, as if
it could withstand the most substantial impact in this world. Faced with that close
to perfect punch of Mu Chen’s, Ji Xuan had also executed his strongest defence.
Boom!When the divine shield was formed, Mu Chen’s graceful punch came and heavily
slammed against the shield without the slightest hesitation. Both sides clashed
together, it was like a meteorite crashing onto the ground.

In that instant, the heavens and earth seemed to have frozen for a moment, followed
by a startling explosion that resounded, resonating in this space.

Fluctuation waves that could be seen with the naked-eye swept out.
The shock wave swept out a few thousand feet as it flipped the sky and earth.
Lightning and divine light swept out from the point of collision. Innumerable
students had their eyes narrowed as they felt a stinging pain from the intense
light.

However, they did not shift their eyes as they were fixed onto the collision point.
Such a confrontation could only be considered as earth-shattering. Boom!Under the
gazes of everyone, the devastating lightning and divine light suddenly exploded and
the dreadful impact swept out.

After that, everyone blinked their eyes and saw a figure flying down in a miserable
state onto the Golden Battle Stage. Boom!The Golden Battle Stage crumbled with a
few hundred foot hole in it as cracks steadily spreading out.

In just a few breaths, the solid Golden Battle Stage had fully collapsed as huge
rocks tumbled into the vast hole, burying it. Hiss. Many people sucked in cold air,
since they were startled by the scene.

After all, in the past years of Great Spiritual Academy Tournament, no one had
heard of a single exchange that could crumble the particular Battle Stage to such
an extent before.

“Who was beaten down?”But swiftly, everyone directed their attention onto the
confrontation, and judging from the current situation, the one that was beaten down
was naturally the one in an absolute disadvantage.

This might probably be the result of this pinnacle battle. Up in midair, Spiritual
Energy ripples still wreaked havoc that lasted for few minutes, before the
lightning and divine light gradually faded away. Rustle!Everyone directed their
gazes over. The sky cleared up once again, and a silhouette gradually appeared
before everyone. That silhouette was donned in black lightning armour, except that
the majority of the ferocious lightning armour had shattered, pieces of the
powerful armour fell. “It’s Mu Chen!”Many people widened their eyes, although that
silhouette was still covered in lightning armour, everyone recognised that familiar
appearance with a glance. Excited cheers rang out in the area that the students of
the Northern Heavens Spiritual Academy resided on.

Every single student had their faces flushed red from the excitement as they looked
at the silhouette in the sky with revere filling their eyes. “Big Brother Mu Chen
won!” Yu Xi was exceptionally excited as she pulled Su Ling’er’s arm and spoke
excitedly. “That fellow is indeed formidable. ” Su Ling’er nodded with a flushed
face as well.

Her gorgeous pair of eyes was flickering with splendour. In the corner of the
Battle Stage, Luo Li and Wen Qingxuan raised their heads, looking at that figure as
well.

They felt as if they were relieved from a burden.

The former’s gaze was filled with joy and pride, it was a mood that wouldn’t appear
even if she had defeated Ji Xuan by herself.

The latter’s gaze was a little complicated, it had a little admiration and
unyielding stubbornness in it. Up in the air, when the Deans of the various
academies witnessed this scene from high up, although they did not speak, they all
had a different expression. The Five Great Deans maintained silence as they quietly
watched, only Dean Tiansheng had his fist uncontrollably clenched in his sleeve.

The smile that hung on his face faded by a lot. Earth-shattering commotions rang
out, and the silhouette up in the sky trembled as the lightning armour started to
peel off.

In the end, Mu Chen’s figure reappeared, as expected.

His eyes returned back to pitch-black as he lowered his head, looking at his fist.

The surface of his fist was bloody as Ji Xuan’s last defence was startling
powerful.

Also, it returned back some of the force.

If it weren’t for Mu Chen’s physique reaching Nona Rune Lightning Physique, just
that dreadful counter alone would have shatter his arm into pieces. He wasn’t
bothered by the clamours that resounded in the sky and stared at the collapsed
Battle Stage.

That fist earlier had already heavily injured Ji Xuan, but he could not understand
why he felt a little unease in his heart. The cheers in the sky lasted for a long
while, before it died down as everyone shifted their gazes onto the crumbled Golden
Battle Stage.

If Ji Xuan did not appear, it would mark an end to the Battle of the Champion. This
region finally returned peace. Mu Chen stood in the air as his gaze lightly
flickered and suddenly grasped his hand.

The Great Meru Demonic Pillar soared towards the horizon, along with the torrential
Baleful Aura and suppressed the collapsed region of the Golden Battle Stage in an
intimidating manner. Boom!The Battle Stage what was already crumbled shattered once
again, the Great Meru Demonic Pillar descended without the slightest leniency and
heavily smashed into the hole. Boom!Fragments of the Golden Battle Stage were
reduced to dust as the crack rapidly expanded. Mu Chen’s decisive and ruthless move
made the eyelids of many twitched, he was beating a drowning dog. However, Mu Chen
wasn’t bothered by the thoughts of others.

After the Great Meru Demonic Pillar suppressed down, his pupils suddenly narrowed,
and his expression became exceptionally solemn as well.

The dissipating Spiritual Energy fluctuations around him surged forth once again,
and lightning flickered on the surface of his body. Mu Chen’s sudden actions of
arming himself to the teeth made everyone startled, but they quickly recovered from
the shock and looked at the collapsed Golden Battle Stage with fear in their eyes.

Could it be that Ji Xuan can still fight?Boom!A massive sound came from the
crumbled Golden Battle Stage, even the Great Meru Demonic Pillar that stood
towering before it suddenly jolted. Boom! Boom!The vibrations became increasingly
intense, and after that, the Great Meru Demonic Pillar trembled and soared into the
horizon as it shot towards Mu Chen. Mu Chen’s gaze grew cold as he tapped his feet
and appeared above the Great Meru Demonic Pillar in a flash, stomping his feet as
he stabilised the pillar.

His pair of black pupils were looking into the deep hole with alert. Everyone’s
gaze gathered over, and they held their breaths, their hearts lifted to their
throats. In the bottomless pit, a faint purple light appeared as it started to
spread out.

After that, everyone witnessed a figure gradually floating up and lightly landed on
a huge stone. When that figure appeared, sounds of inhaling cold air rang out in
this region. Judging from that silhouette, it was naturally Ji Xuan, but the
current him was different from before, the surface of his body was flashing with
faint purple light, and the surface of his face also had a mysterious purple light
rune.

Both of his eyes turned dark purple, sharp and cold, as if these eyes were mixed
with endless ferocity. He had a pair of purple hawk wings that were slowly
flapping, causing the nearby space to distort along with it as well. Ji Xuan wore
an indifferent expression with his hands folded before his chest as he raised his
head, looking at Mu Chen with splendour in his eyes, similar to looking at an ant.
Mu Chen narrowed his eyes as he looked at Ji Xuan, who brought him a little
unfamiliar sensation.

Compared to the Ji Xuan from before, it was different

furthermore, Mu Chen could feel a mortal danger coming from Ji Xuan that made him
feel stinging pain on his skin. Wen Qingxuan and Luo Li were looking at Ji Xuan,
their expressions changed a little as they felt something wasn’t right as well. Up
in the sky, the expressions of the Deans involuntarily changed a little as they
looked at Ji Xuan in astonishment. Aside from Dean Tiansheng, the gazes of the Four
Great Deans were slightly flickering. “There’s something wrong with this Ji Xuan. ”
Ling Xi looked at Ji Xuan with a heavy expression as she suddenly spoke out. “Big
Sister Ling Xi, what’s wrong with that guy? He suddenly feels so terrifying. ”
Sun’er spoke shyly, her senses were exceptionally keen, and thus, she vaguely felt
that Ji Xuan had become even more terrifying than before. Ling Xi did not respond
as she stared at Ji Xuan with a cold gaze. Under the attention of everyone, the
corner of Ji Xuan’s lips slowly lifted a ruthless smile.

After that, he lightly stomped his feet as ripples spread out.

Under the shocking gazes, everyone witnessed as the Golden Battle Stage was
reduced to dust in an instant. Liiii!A sharp ear-piercing hawk cry resonated in
this region, and everyone witnessed a thousand foot purple hawk gradually appearing
behind Ji Xuan.

That creature had a body of a hawk, while the head of a dragon and a terrifying
gush of fluctuations swept out from its body as it wreaked havoc between the
heavens and earth. Everyone’s eyes were surging with fright as they could feel that
the large hawk behind Ji Xuan wasn’t an illusion, it had a corporeal form!What Ji
Xuan possessed wasn’t the Soul Essence of a Primordial Skydragon Hawk but the real
body of it!

Chapter 629 - Nine Nether Reappears Liii!The sharp hawk cry resonated between the
heavens and earth.

The ear-piercing sound wave swept out like waves.

Numerous deep cracks appeared on the floor with a dreadful pressure spreading out.

Under that pressure, not to mention ordinary students, even several Deans had a
drastic change in their expression. “That’s the real body of the Primordial
Skydragon Hawk?” Several Deans had a heavy expression as the exclaimed in
astonishment, looking at the colossal being. “It is indeed the real body of it, not
the so-called Soul Essence… but why was a Primordial Skydragon Hawk hidden in Ji
Xuan’s body? With his strength, how could he do it?” A Dean spoke out in a doubtful
tone. The Primordial Skydragon Hawk was ranked 8 on the Spiritual Beast Records.

When such powerful Spiritual Beast entered its maturity state, it possessed
strength that could even rival Sovereigns.

But with Ji Xuan’s cultivation, he had just established his own Sovereign Sea so,
strictly speaking, he had not ascended to the Sovereign Realm yet.

Thus, it was impossible for him to suppress a Primordial Skydragon Hawk and use its
strength. Several Deans exchanged looks as their expressions turned a little
doubtful. “The strength of that Primordial Skydragon Hawk probably reached the
level of Fourth Grade Sovereign… I’m afraid that there’s no longer any point to
continue the battle. ” A Dean spoke helplessly as he shook his head. Fourth Grade
Sovereign, that sort of cultivation could become a Dean of an ordinary Spiritual
Academy, even in the Five Great Sovereigns, they were all influential Elders.

The strength far surpassed the imagination of other students. “Hmph, Dean
Tiansheng, isn’t it cheating for your academy to do this? The Primordial Skydragon
Hawk isn’t something that belonged to Ji Xuan but was an external strength which
isn’t in the rules of the tournament!” Up in midair, Dean Tai Cang’s face was a
little dark as he witnessed the scene and spoke upon taking a cold glance at the
Primordial Skydragon Hawk. Dean Tiansheng smiled faintly, “Dean Taicang, this
sentence of yours is wrong.

The Primordial Skydragon Hawk isn’t related to our Saint Spiritual Academy, it was
by Ji Xuan himself.

Furthermore, he had a lodging relationship with this Primordial Skydragon Hawk, he

had paid a huge price to accomplish this. ”“Lodging?”The three other Deans were
slightly startled, the so-called ‘lodging’ was a hazardous method as the Primordial
Skydragon Hawk stays in a human body
however, it would continuously attempt to seize the consciousness of the host to
replace it.

Likewise, the host was also trying to refine it and make the strength of the beast
his. This was simply a gamble of life, the moment one side loses, they would have
to pay an irreversible price. Thus, generally speaking, not many people and mighty
Spiritual Beasts would choose this method, and to the humans, who would want a time
bomb in their body.

As for the Spiritual Beasts, who would want to be in such a dangerous scenario?

Thus, this relationship of lodging was sporadic. “The Primordial Skydragon Hawk had
its eyes on Ji Xuan’s body
thus, it desires to seize it, and likewise, Ji Xuan also had his eyes on the power
of the Primordial Skydragon Hawk.

Thus, they formed a lodging relationship, so this strength wasn’t external for Ji
Xuan, which isn’t against the rules. ” Dean Tiansheng spoke with a faint smile. The
three Deans fell into silence.

It was fine for the Primordial Skydragon Hawk, since Ji Xuan’s strength was weak.

Thus, it had a certain chance of success to defeat Ji Xuan.

However, Ji Xuan was a little decisive and ruthless, his schemes ran deep in his
heart, so he must have little preparation.

Otherwise, he definitely wouldn’t go for such a dangerous move. Dean Tai Cang’s
face was solemn and did not speak further.

Although this strength that Ji Xuan had was a shortcut, it was something that he
had obtained in exchange for his own life.

He slightly raised his head and looked at the youth’s silhouette that was in
midair and sighed in his heart.

Mu Chen’s performance was already perfect, but who could have expected Ji Xuan to
have such a trump card concealed up his sleeves?…“That fellow… so he had a real
body of the Primordial Skydragon Hawk within him!” Wen Qingxuan clenched her teeth
as she looked at the Primordial Skydragon Hawk and bitterly smiled, “Looks like
we’ve belittled Ji Xuan. ”Luo Li couldn’t help having her hands slightly clenched
as she looked at Mu Chen’s silhouette.

The youth’s face was calm as water, there wasn’t any joy or anger written on his
face, but she knew that the latter had suffered a considerable amount of shock in
his heart as well. “You should leave first. ” Luo Li spoke in a soft voice. “What
about you?” Wen Qingxuan replied, startled. “Mu Chen will not give up, so I will
accompany him till the end. ” Luo Li showed a faint smile, her smile had unwavering
firmness in it. “That Primordial Skydragon Hawk’s strength is comparable to Fourth
Grade Sovereign, even if you join hands with Mu Chen, it is impossible to win. ”
Wen Qingxuan spoke anxiously, “Just give up, it’s only a competition.

Furthermore, anyone could tell that Ji Xuan has cheated, that strength definitely
isn’t something that he cultivated himself. ”“Regarding real strength, he has
already lost to Mu Chen!”Luo Li softly shook her head with a smile, “Do you feel
that Mu Chen will back off?”Wen Qingxuan was speechless as she knew the grudges
between those two.

Although that fellow was gentle most of the time, there was an unusual
stubbornness in his bones.

So even when he knew that he could not defeat Ji Xuan right now, he would probably
not admit defeat. “What a fool. ” Wen Qingxuan sighed, but she had to admit that
the fellow was pretty good when he was stubborn. “Then, let us go together!”Wen
Qingxuan gritted her teeth in the end and with the time she had earlier, she had
recovered quite a bit of fighting strength. Luo Li was astonished as she looked at
Wen Qingxuan, as there wasn’t a reason for the latter to fight this match with them
that didn’t have any odds of success. Wen Qingxuan’s face flushed red from Luo Li’s
gaze as she hastily said, “That fellow helped me before, and I am not an ungrateful
person. ”Luo Li smiled with another meaning behind her gaze.

However, she did not speak and only lightly nodded her head. There wasn’t any
noise in this region as numerous students had their mouths widened.

Evidently, they were overwhelmed with shock by the Primordial Skydragon Hawk.

Furthermore, that level of pressure had already surpassed their limits, aware that
it wasn’t a standard that they could come in contact with, at least not now. The
Northern Heavens Spiritual Academy region was also quiet, and innumerable people
had a paled expression, the joy they had on their faces vanished. Under the gazes
of everyone, Ji Xuan casually cracked his neck in midair with brittle bone-breaking
noise resounding.

He raised his head with a cold expression and looked at Mu Chen with a smile, “Are
you feeling despair?”There wasn’t any expression on Mu Chen’s face as he slowly
clenched his fist. The Primordial Skydragon Hawk raised its wild eyes and started
at Mu Chen with indifference.

The strength of the latter wasn’t even placed in its heart and shifted its gaze
onto Ji Xuan and spoke with a sound that only the latter could hear, “This is the
fellow that forced you to summon me? Ji Xuan, do you know that the more of my
strength you use, I’ll be able to erode your conscious further. ”Ji Xuan faintly
smiled as he responded, “Then hope that before I surpass you, you will be able to
seize my body. ”“However, before that, the both of us share our lives, if one of us
die, so will the other.

Thus, behave well and help me get rid of that fellow. ”“As you wish. ” The
Primordial Skydragon Hawk’s eyes were flickering with lustre as it eerily laughed,
flapping its wings with radiant light shining out of it and gushed into Ji Xuan’s
body. Tsk! Tsk!The hawk wings behind Ji Xuan were expanding at a fast speed, and in
a few breath’s time, they were already a hundred feet in size.

Furthermore, both of his hands turned sharp with dark purple nails that looked
like daggers.

Along with that, a dreadful gale of Spiritual Energy whistled around him that tore
through the heavens and earth.

Judging from the fluctuations of Spiritual Energy, it had already reached the
actual Sovereign Realm level. Ji Xuan felt the enormous energy in his body as a
smear of intoxication flashed through his face.

Both of his eyes had shaped sharply like a hawk as he raised his head and smiled
at Mu Chen.

He flapped his wings, sweeping out with dark purple Spiritual Energy gales as they
charged towards Mu Chen with unparalleled might. Mu Chen’s face was grave as he
clenched his fist.

The Great Meru Demonic Pillar soared into the sky and furiously dived down. Boom!
The Spiritual Energy gales bombarded against the Great Meru Demonic Pillar, causing
the pillar to tremble before it flew out.

Mu Chen slammed his palm onto it, but the impact behind the force caused intense
pain on both of his arms, the web on his palm tore apart with fresh blood flowing
from it.

If it wasn’t for the strength of his physical body, just this alone might kill
him. “Right now, you’re an ant in my eyes. ” Ji Xuan smiled with mockery.

As he finished speaking, a sharp whistling of wind suddenly rang out from his
rear.

However, he slapped it with the back of his hand without giving it a look.

The space distorted along with purple Spiritual Energy sweeping out.

It was like a vast purple serpent that swept over. Boom!The heavy sound resonated
as two silhouettes were pushed back, they were Luo Li and Wen Qingxuan, who were
trying to help Mu Chen.

But judging from the situation, they weren’t Ji Xuan’s opponents at this moment.
Rustle!Ji Xuan flapped both of his wings, creating innumerable afterimages and
before Mu Chen could react, a piercing palm gale had already fallen onto his
shoulder. Poof. His figure flew out with a mouthful of blood spurting from his
mouth. “Your speed is pitifully slow. ”He stabilised his figure as an eerie voice
resounded from his back, and shortly after, another palm gale fell on him. Boom!Mu
Chen’s figure was shot heavily towards the ground as he wiped the trace of blood
off the corner of his lips.

He looked to be in a rather miserable state, but even when he was at the passive,
he still had cold killing intent in his eyes without any trace of fear or retreat.
“Big Brother Mu, let it go…” In the Northern Heavens Spiritual Academy region,
someone saw his miserable figure and felt sour in the nose, even some girls had
their eyes reddened.

All along in the Northern Heavens Spiritual Academy, Mu Chen could always maintain
a confident look on his face with radiating warmth on his handsome face, this was
the first time they saw Mu Chen in such a sorry state. Although the students of the
other academies did not speak, there was a smear of respect in their eyes.

After all, it didn’t matter if Mu Chen won or lost, just that tenacity and
perseverance he showed deserved respect. Mu Chen’s figure was in a pile of rocks,
his appearance was exceptionally miserable at the moment, his hand was slightly
trembling as he wiped the blood off the corner of his lips.

Shortly after, a smear of savagery slowly surfaced in his eyes, even if he were to
lose to Ji Xuan today, he would drag Ji Xuan along with him!“Then let us compete
and see which of us is more ruthless…”Mu Chen muttered with a smile.

His smile was fierce as he struggled to stand on the pile of rocks.

Just when he was about to attack, his body went involuntarily stiff in that
instant as he heard a familiar voice in his heart at this moment. “Tsk, tsk, little
Mu Chen, how useless are you to be beaten up to such miserable extent by a mixed
chicken?”That familiar voice left Mu Chen dumbfounded as he rubbed his ears in
disbelief. Wasn’t that familiar voice the Nine Nether who was still evolving?!

Chapter 630 - Might of the Nine Nether The sudden voice indolent voice made the
expression on Mu Chen’s face freeze, and after a brief moment, he recovered from
the shock and muttered with disbelief, “You… Nine Nether? You’ve woken up?”However,
his question wasn’t replied, which made Mu Chen’s heart cold in an instant.

Was he hallucinating?“Haha, looks like you missed me a lot. ” However, just when Mu
Chen’s heart was about to thoroughly turn cold, teasing laughter rang out again. Mu
Chen’s expression hung for a moment, before he helplessly rolled his eyes.

However, he still felt a heavy relief.

This fellow has finally woken up after being asleep for two years…“You’re finally
awake. ” Mu Chen bitterly smiled in his heart. “Can’t help it, you’re about to die,
and I don’t want to die together with you without even enjoying a day after
evolving. ” Nine Nether laughed. Mu Chen pulled his lips.

His relationship with the Nine Nether was very complicated as the both of them had
undergone the Bloodlink Bond.

Thus, speaking to a certain extent, they both had a very close relationship.

Even when the Nine Nether was in deep slumber this whole time, the relationship
between the two became even closer due to the link of their bloodline. “Looks like
you’ve encountered quite the trouble. ” Nine Nether lightly smiled, although it was
a conversation in the heart, Mu Chen was able to sense a scene flashing through his
heart.

It seems to be a broken black egg with a girl dressed in black seated on top of it.

She was shaking her pair of long and slender legs as she put a fragment of the egg
shield into her rosy lips and crunched on it with her silver teeth, chewing it bit
by bit with an intoxicated expression on her wild and beautiful face. “It’s just a
Primordial Skydragon Hawk, its strength should have reached the Fourth Grade
Sovereign. ” Mu Chen nodded his head as he enquired with a soft voice, “Can you
deal with it?”Nine Nether had her hand on her cheeks as she spoke lazily, “It’s
just a mixed chicken that can never evolve, relying on its long lifespan to achieve
the Sovereign Realm.

But a Spiritual Beast is still a Spiritual Beast in the end, without being able to
undergo evolution, its path stops here. ”“Then, what grade of Sovereign are you?”
Mu Chen spoke with cautiousness. “Hmm, it should also be at the Fourth Grade. ”
Nine Nether spoke with a sweet smile. “Fourth Grade Sovereign?” Mu Chen inhaled a
mouthful of chilled air as he was startled in his heart.

The Primordial Skydragon Hawk had cultivated for a long time and was only at the
Fourth Grade Sovereign, but the Nine Nether slept for two years and had already
achieved such heights.

He still clearly remembered that before the Nine Nether underwent her evolution,
her strength was on par with him. “I’m the most talented in the Nine Netherbird
clan in the past thousand years with the purest bloodline, don’t compare that mixed
chicken with me. ” Nine Nether indolently replied.

As there wasn’t nothing surprising for her and instead, it should be a natural
thing.

Mu Chen was speechless.

If she had spoken such words, who knows how many self-proclaimed geniuses would
spurt blood out. “That fellow is also Fourth Grade… can you deal with it?” Mu Chen
questioned. “Under the same cultivation, a Divine Beast suppresses Spiritual
Beasts. ” Nine Nether said with indifference. “Formidable!” Mu Chen praised. “I
will temporarily lend you my strength, but it will depend on you to see how much
you can hold. ” Nine Nether swallowed the last fragment of eggshell and lightly
patted her hands.

She formed seals with both of her hands and an earth-shattering amount of purple
flames gushed out, along with dreadful Spiritual Energy ripples, and exploded. In
the collapsed Battle Stage, there wasn’t any movement on Mu Chen’s body as he froze
while conversing with Nine Nether in his heart. “Looks like he’s beginning to give
up. ”Up in midair, Ji Xuan slightly slanted his head as he looked at Mu Chen, who
had a miserable appearance and smiled, “Since that’s the case, then I’ll let you
feel the true meaning of despair.

Your so-called ‘confidence’ will cease to exist from today on. ”As he finished his
speech, Ji Xuan’s gaze became savage and cruel as he strode forth.

In the next instant, his figure had mysteriously appeared before Mu Chen.

He had a light smile as he tore through space and pointed at Mu Chen’s heart along
with unparalleled sharpness of his fingers and purple light. One finger of malice.
Outside the Battle Stage, innumerable students couldn’t bear shifting their gazes,
the expressions of the students of Northern Heavens Spiritual Academy turned pale.
“It all ends now!” Ji Xuan let out savage laughter as the purple light turned even
more radiant on his two fingers, with a gale that shrouded his fingers that could
tear through any obstacles. A gale swept out as it fell towards Mu Chen’s chest at
speed as swift as lightning. Tsk!A faint sound suddenly rang out and those that had
their gazes fixed on the Battle Stage suddenly narrowed. Ji Xuan’s cruel expression
underwent a drastic change as he raised his head in disbelief.

He saw Mu Chen extending two fingers out that clamped onto his.
Although that pincer attack looked weak, Ji Xuan’s offence was unable to advance a
single inch. “How is that possible?!”A cry of astonishment rang out. Ji Xuan’s
heart trembled as he looked at the youth that was in a miserable state before him
in disbelief.

At this moment, the latter had also slowly raised his head as his black pupils
seemed to have purple flames gushing out. “Your complacency ends here. ” The corner
of the youth’s lips rose up along with his hoarse voice.

In the next instant, he whipped his leg, it was like a heavy hammer with a speed
that not even Ji Xuan could react to and heavily landed on his chest. Boom!A solemn
sound rang out, and Ji Xuan’s body was like a cannonball as he flew out, drawing
large and deep marks along the floor that were a few hundred feet in length, those
rocks that he slammed into along the way were reduced to dust. The entire field
went silent. Innumerable people had their mouths widen as they froze, witnessing
that scene. Luo Li and Wen Qingxuan, who were about to attack, dazed off as well,
looking at Ji Xuan instantly flying back with astonishment.

They had still not recovered from the sudden change of events. Outside the Battle
Stage, Ling Xi narrowed both her eyes as she stared at Mu Chen, a smear of
astonishment flashed across her face as she seems to have sensed something. Poof!Ji
Xuan stabilised his body as he spurted a mouthful of blood, his gaze was a little
dazed as he stared at Mu Chen.

However, that only lasted for a brief instant, before he recovered from the daze
and howled with disbelief, “How is that possible?!”Mu Chen raised his head as he
looked at Ji Xuan, whose eyes were reddened with indifference.

He did not even pay any attention to him and slowly opened his arms.

After that, everyone witnessed the scene of a giant purple pillar of flames gushing
from his body and soared into the horizon. The blazing temperature instantly spread
out in this region, even the foothold beneath Mu Chen’s feet started to melt. The
overbearing purple flames were inexpressible. Furthermore, along with the purple
flames gushing out, everyone sensed the Spiritual Energy ripples emitting from Mu
Chen becoming more and more terrifying.

They had already reached the Sovereign Realm level in just a few breath’s time…
Innumerable students were once again overwhelmed with shock. Up in midair, the
Deans of the various academies had astonished expressions as well.

Their gazes started to turn heavy as they could feel Mu Chen’s Spiritual Energy
ripples that were probably comparable to a Second Grade Sovereign Realm.

Compared to Ji Xuan, who was barely First Grade Sovereign, it was way stronger.
“This Mu Chen had actually concealed a similar trump card. ” Several Deans bitterly
smiled as they looked at each other.

This was the peak level students of the Five Great Academies? They truly were
formidable, so much so that even they felt threatened by it. Among the Five Great
Deans, Dean Tai Cang was also startled by the scene, but he soon recovered and
ecstasy surged from his cold expression
whereas Dean Tiansheng, who was smiling earlier, had a dark expression on his face
at this moment. Purple flames swept, and purple wings also appeared behind Mu Chen
that were slowly unfolding.

His pair of black pupils had turned purple at this moment, and vaguely, there was
a bright and crisp cry that resonated between the heavens and earth. “The power of
a Sovereign…”Mu Chen slowly clenched his fist as he couldn’t help being intoxicated
as he sensed the fearsome energy in his body.

Right now, he could probably destroy this entire land with a single wave of his
hand. This power was definitely not something that the Spirit Disaster could be
compared to. “You actually managed to hold so much power, looks like your physical
body is pretty strong now. ” Nine Nether’s astonished voice rang out in Mu Chen’s
heart.

She initially expected that the First Grade Sovereign Realm was Mu Chen’s limit,
but she never thought that he would be able to hold up to the Second Grade
Sovereign Realm. “I have not spent two years doing nothing. ” Mu Chen smiled.
“You’re indeed more powerful compared to before. ” Nine Nether did not disagree as,
right now, Mu Chen was indeed much more powerful compared to before.

At the very least, he could not follow her footsteps and not only in sight but be
unattainable like before. Mu Chen lightly laughed as he raised his head, his pupils
were blazing with purple flames as he looked at the ashen Ji Xuan.

Shortly after, he abruptly stomped his feet on the ground, purple flames wreaked
havoc as it spread out and his figure disappeared in an instant. When he
disappeared, his indifferent voice swept out along with purple flames. “Let’s end
this battle. ”Ji Xuan abruptly narrowed his eyes as he hastily retreated. Poof. A
hand shrouded in purple flames pierced through space, as if it was extending from
the void and grabbed onto his neck. The gap between them was evident!

Chapter 631 - Nine Netherworld Bird When Mu Chen’s hand grabbed onto Ji Xuan’s
throat like an eagle, it was this instant that many people still had their eyes on
the location that Mu Chen was previously at and it was a flash before they widened
their eyes and saw this frightening scene. Mu Chen stood as he grabbed Ji Xuan’s
throat and lifted him up.

Ji Xuan, who was an irresistible force earlier, was currently in his hand like a
child without any ability to fight back.

It was so much so that he was a little helpless in this difficult situation. The
entire area was in silence.

No one spoke as they were too overwhelmed by shock to the point that they could not
talk. Who could have imagined the situation flipping around in an instant?
Initially, when Ji Xuan had Mu Chen thoroughly suppressed, he was still proud for a
few minutes, before he was crushed by his opponent. Mu Chen’s counter-attack was
clearly more direct and efficient. However, what made everyone feel astonished was
the fact that Mu Chen’s strength had reached such a terrifying height to the point
that it far surpassed Ji Xuan, who had borrowed the power of the Primordial
Skydragon Hawk. Just what was going on?Under the countless gazes of astonishment,
Ji Xuan’s face was turning red as he violently struggled.

Dense humiliation and ferocity were revealed in his eyes.

Their current position nearly made his abdomen explode from all the anger.

All these years, he had been proceeding forth and surpassing those in the same
generation as him.

He had enjoyed the countless gazes of respect, and in the past, he was the only one
that stomped his opponent beneath his feet and never imagined that there would be a
day for him to be in such a sorry-looking state. This was definitely not something
that Ji Xuan, whose pride was imprinted down to his bones, could endure.
In his point of view, this was even more torturing than him being killed. “I’ll
shred you to pieces!” Ji Xuan roared as vast Spiritual Energy swept out like a
gale.

It was like an enraged dragon as it flew towards Mu Chen. Naturally, Mu Chen only
swept a gaze of indifference to his attack and flicked his fingers.

Purple flames gushed out and swept through the vast Spiritual Energy.

In that instant of contact, the purple flames had already extinguished it. Rustle!
Ji Xuan’s sharp fingers shot towards Mu Chen’s eyes in a ruthless arc. Boom!
However, before his strike could even land, Mu Chen’s palm had already slammed onto
his chest.

A deep and muffled sound rang out.

Ji Xuan’s chest seemed to have collapsed a little, from the looks of it, along with
a mouthful of blood that spewed from his mouth, as he flew back again. Boom!When Ji
Xuan was still in midair, Mu Chen’s ghostly figure had appeared before him.

He had an icy expression and threw a punch forth with purple flames on his fist.

That high temperature even caused the surrounding space to intensely distort.

When Mu Chen’s fist ruthlessly fell onto Ji Xuan’s body, the high temperature
wreaked havoc.

The latter’s body turned red in an instant, as if he was about to combust into
flames. Poof!Another mouthful of fresh blood spewed out as Ji Xuan’s body was shot
into the crumbled Battle Stage and laid there.

His entire body was covered in fresh blood, and his appearance, which was initially
handsome, became extraordinarily twisted and terrifying. He fixed his eyes at Mu
Chen, who was up in midair.

His gaze was so vicious, it was as if he wanted to devour him.

His body trembled as he muttered, “How is that possible… how could he possess such
powerful strength?!”The victory was already in his grasp, but who could have
expected for such an unexpected event to occur?“That power doesn’t belong to him,
and in addition, his physical body is much stronger than you
thus, he could hold more power compared to you as well. ” An eerie voice resounded
in Ji Xuan’s heart, “Even if you have borrowed my strength, you’re only barely at
First Grade Sovereign, whereas he possesses the strength of Second Grade Sovereign.

So it was natural for you not being able to fight with him. ”“I want to kill him,
I want to kill him!” Ji Xuan’s eyes turned red. “Sure, let me control your body and
killing him would be as simple as flipping my hand. ” That eerie voice laughed with
a scheming tone. Ji Xuan clenched his teeth.

If it were some other time, he would definitely not agree to such a matter with
his thinking.

But when he saw the indifferent Mu Chen in midair, the resentment violently gushed
out of his heart and consumed his mind.

He should be the one enjoying the claps from everyone and not lying here like a
dead dog. There’s no way in hell I can lose to Mu Chen!He had declared that he will
definitely step on him beneath his feet!“Kill him for me!” Ji Xuan trembled with
vicious in his tone. “Haha, as you wish. ” That eerie voice’s laughter roared. Ji
Xuan slowly shut his eyes. The blood flowing out of his body stopped, his Spiritual
Energy, which was in disorder awhile ago, calmed down and gradually stabilised.

After that, his shut eyes slowly opened, there wasn’t any more of that viciousness
and twistedness from before, but it was replaced with eeriness. He slowly stood up
and cracked his neck, felt the unfamiliar body and laughed, “Finally, I’m in
control of this body…”He raised his head as he looked at Mu Chen and smiled, “I
really have to thank you for that. ”Mu Chen knitted his brows as he looked at Ji
Xuan, although there weren’t any powerful ripples around the latter, the gaze that
he gave made Mu Chen feel danger.

At this moment, Ji Xuan felt unfamiliar, utterly different from what he was
before. “You’re the Primordial Skydragon Hawk, right?” Mu Chen spoke with no rush.
“You’re pretty smart. ” Ji Xuan faintly smiled and did not deny Mu Chen’s words as
he smiled, “But I’ve promised him to kill you… so I have to make you suffer a
little. ”Boom!As his words finished, Mu Chen had already thrown a palm forth with
purple flames sweeping out.

It was like a giant palm of purple flames that suppressed towards Ji Xuan. “You
only have some strength belonging to a Sovereign, you’re still too far away from a
real Sovereign. ” Looking at Mu Chen’s attacks, Ji Xuan slightly smiled as he
flipped his hand over and pushed out.

His palm lightly clashed with the purple flames.

Although it looked like a completely different level of collision, the instant

those two forces came into contact, the flaming palm crumbled. Everyone around the
Battle Stage was looking at this scene, but they were numbed by it.

This battle of ups and downs had already far surpassed their understandings…Mu
Chen’s figure rapidly retreated as his face was filled with graveness.

The current ‘Ji Xuan’ was entirely different from before.

Not only his strength, but his control over it was on a wholly new level.

Clearly, the other party was a real Sovereign. “You can’t run. ”The space behind
Mu Chen suddenly distorted as Ji Xuan’s figure appeared with a flash and let out a
faint smile, “I’ll let you experience what a real Sovereign is. ”He bent both his
fingers and pointed down.

Along with it, dark purple Spiritual Energy swept out.

That Spiritual Energy was filled with a cold aura.

Not only was it more refined, it was also filled with spirituality.

Regarding quality, this Spiritual Energy had far surpassed those that Ji Xuan had
used before. “Sword Form!”As the dark purple Spiritual Energy shot forth, it had
turned into a corporeal form of a giant dark purple sword, tearing apart space and
shot towards Mu Chen’s head with incredible speed. Mu Chen’s figure hastily
retreated as his hand seals changed and vast Spiritual Energy shot forth. Boom!
Boom!However, in the path of the giant sword, every obstacle was destroyed.

The way it swept through everything instilled astonishment in the hearts of

others. Mu Chen’s face uncontrollably changed as well.

The scale of that giant sword wasn’t terrifying, but it possessed such a powerful
pressure that even he was under that pressure and couldn’t move his body. Rustle!In
the next instant, every single attack crumbled and the giant sword had also
appeared before Mu Chen.

However, right before that large sword was about to slice downwards, a slender and
fair hand suddenly appeared behind him and with a light flick, purple flames swept
out and reduced that large sword to dust. Ji Xuan abruptly narrowed his eyes as he
shifted his cold gaze towards Mu Chen’s rear. Every single gaze in this region
shifted and was a little stunned when they saw an elegant silhouette behind Mu
Chen.

At this instant, even when everyone was a bit numb to the changes, they felt a
series of shock. “Who is that?”Under the countless astonished gazes, that
silhouette was becoming more evident, taking a form of a girl dressed in black
clothes.

She had a tall and elegant appearance.

As she looked around with her charming eyes, there was a trace of wildness which
revealed her stubbornness.

Her waist was so slim that it could be barely grabbed ahold of, especially that
pair of long legs that was just perfect.

The sight of her made others feel an itch in their hearts. When that clothed black
girl appeared, a clear commotion resounded between the heavens and earth as
everyone saw the rolling purple flames behind her.

Vaguely, a colossal image appeared.

It was a blackbird that was flapping its wings and issued a cry that resonated
throughout the heavens and earth. “That’s… the Nine Nether Bird?”Up in midair,
several Deans revealed shock on their faces as they muttered. “So it was another
real body… so it turns out that Mu Chen also has a powerful Spiritual Beast in his
body.

Youths nowadays are truly formidable. ”“But does that mean that it’s also a
lodging relationship between Mu Chen and that Nine Nether Bird?”“…”Not far away,
Luo Li and Wen Qingxuan were a little astonished as they looked at the unfamiliar
beauty. “Who is she? Why haven’t I seen her before? Could it be that Mu Chen is
cheating behind you?” Wen Qingxuan shot a glance at Nine Nether.

The latter had an impressive appearance and temperament, even the latter’s long
legs made her feel shocked.

But, naturally, the most unique part was still her eyes, which were filled with
wildness. Luo Li pondered for a brief moment, before softly saying, “I’m afraid
she’s the Nine Nether Bird.

She and Mu Chen have a Bloodlink Bond relationship.

It's just that she has been in a deep slumber all these years. ”“Bloodlink Bond?”
Wen Qingxuan was startled and muttered softly after, “With the pride of such a
powerful Spiritual Beast like the Nine Nether Bird, how could it conduct a
Bloodlink Bond with a human? What did that fellow Mu Chen do to her?”Up in midair,
Nine Nether did not pay any attention to the others upon appearing as she cast a
glance at ‘Ji Xuan’ and said, “Originally, I didn’t want to bother with you.

But a mixed chicken like you is taking things too far.

 Since you like to put a hand in the battle of others, then let me accompany you
with that. ”“So you’re from the Nine Nether Bird clan. ” Ji Xuan’s gaze was dark as
he looked at Nine Nether and sneered, “According to the lifespan of the Nine Nether
Bird’s clan, you’re still not at your matured stage, right? Yet you dare to
challenge me?”In the Spiritual Beast Records, the Primordial Skydragon Hawk’s
ranking was higher than the Nine Nether Bird.

Thus, the Primordial Skydragon Hawk wasn’t afraid of Nine Nether’s appearance.
“Don’t believe that trash record too much. ” As if she knew what the Primordial
Skydragon Hawk was thinking, she cast her rosy lips aside and converged flames on
her fingertips.

She then tilted her head and looked at Ji Xuan with a mocking gaze.

“Furthermore, I am not a Nine Nether Bird right now… but…”Nine Nether’s gaze,
which was filled with wildness, blazed with purple flames.

At the same time, an indescribable pressure swept from her body that spread
between the heavens and earth.

In an instant, the colours of the earth and sky changed. “Nine! Nether! World!
Bird!”It was a genuine Divine Beast pressure!

Chapter 632 –
Mandala Flower Boom!Nine Nether stood in the air as a surge of fearsome pressure
enveloped out.

The earth and sky seemed to have darkened by a lot, even the Spiritual Energy
between the heavens and earth became violent. Under that pressure, the faces of
everyone changed, including the various Deans that were watching the battle from
high above.

The calm expressions on their faces grew heavy as their gazes had a little
astonishment when they looked at that slender, long-legged girl clothed in black.
“It’s actually the Nine Netherworld Bird… this girl is indeed formidable to have
completed her evolution at such a young age.

This sort of talent is simply terrifying. ”“A Nine Netherworld Bird of the Fourth
Grade Sovereign… truly powerful. ”“…”The Five Great Deans were also watching this
scene before them.

Dean Tiansheng of the Saint Spiritual Academy had no expression on his face, but
his hands that were placed on the armrest uncontrollably clenched. Whereas Dean Tai
Cang also had astonishment in his eyes, but soon changed to unrestrainable pleasant
surprise as he muttered to himself, “The cards that this fellow has hidden are
truly astonishing…”When the expression of everyone in this region changed, the
Primordial Skydragon Hawk, who was occupying Ji Xuan’s body at this moment, was
looking at Nine Nether in shock as he spoke with a hoarse voice, “You… you’ve
completed your evolution?!”The Primordial Skydragon Hawk’s voice was filled with
unconcealable jealousy.

Shredding spirituality and forming divinity was something that every single
Spiritual Beast wished for.

In the path of a Spiritual Beast’s cultivation, evolution was a shortcut, even the
Spiritual Beasts with the most common bloodline could evolve.

Furthermore, in the Great Thousand World, there wasn’t a lack of common Spiritual
Beasts that had broken through their limits through evolutions and became a well-
famed existence in the Great Thousand World. Although the Primordial Skydragon Hawk
didn’t have an ordinary bloodline, it wasn’t an easy task for it to evolve.

Even when Nine Nether tried to evolve, she had failed several times before being
able to find that trace of opportunity to complete her evolution.

The difficulty in it was something that others wouldn’t know about. The Primordial
Skydragon Hawk had also attempted it, but all of it ended up in failure till now.

He tried to get through the Lightning Tribulations but always ended up in terrible
failure.

He was nearly even reduced to ashes by the Lightning Tribulation.

Fortunately, he had preparations beforehand and thus, he was able to keep his life.

However, he never dared to attempt the Lightning Tribulation with lingering fear in
his heart, since the Tribulation would get stronger based on the strength of the
person undergoing it as well. This was a point that no one could provide any help
with, it could only be passed through by their own strength.

Thus, when the Primordial Skydragon Hawk saw Nine Nether succeeding her evolution,
he had a trace of jealousy gushing from his heart.

In the Nine Nether Bird clan, the latter’s age had yet to reach maturity, but the
achievement that she had accomplished far surpassed his…He could sense the pressure
emitting from Nine Nether, that pressure even made him tremble a little as the
pressure originated from his bloodline. In the world of Spiritual Beasts, Divine
Beasts held the highest existence. “If I were you, I would run away immediately, as
far as possible. ” Nine Nether swept a glance at the Primordial Skydragon Hawk as
she slowly spoke out.

She was like a queen that was overlooking her subject from high above. The
Primordial Skydragon Hawk had his eyes fixed on Nine Nether as his eyes continually
flickered with ferocious scarlet light.

Although he was continuously being suppressed by that pressure, he was an existence

with the bloodline of the Dragon Clan.

Thus, he also possessed the pride of a dragon deep down in his bones. Retreating
without a fight was something that he could never do.

Although the other party had successfully evolved, her strength was comparable to
his, and if they fought, she might not be able to get any advantage from their
battle.

After all, in his view, Nine Nether before him was too tender, whereas he had
undergone numerous battles of life and death. “This daddy has seen all sorts of
wind and waves in his life.

It’s not something a little brat like you could compare to.

I’m afraid a junior like you still don’t have the qualifications to make me flee
from a single bark. ” The Primordial Skydragon Hawk spoke without any hurry as the
ferocity in his eyes became incredibly dense. “If you want to fight here, I believe
the results will not be what you want. ”Along with the eerie voice of the
Primordial Skydragon Hawk, purple light gushed behind him as a massive figure
appeared, it was the real body of the Primordial Skydragon Hawk. Torrential
Spiritual Energy fluctuations wreaked havoc that trembled the earth and sky.
“Skydragon Roar!”The Primordial Skydragon Hawk ferociously opened its mouth,
causing the earth and sky to darken in an instant.

Its huge mouth was like a wind tunnel as a dreadful ocean of Spiritual Energy swept
out, turning into the roar of a dragon that resonated and shook the earth and sky.
That roar instantly turned corporeal as rolls of sound waves turned into a roaring
sky dragon.

The sky dragon had a powerful figure that far surpassed the size of the real body
of the Primordial Skydragon Hawk, and an indescribable dragon pressure spread out
as it clashed against the pressure of a Divine Beast being emitted by Nine Nether.
This sound wave of sky dragon possessed the real strength of a sky dragon. It was
natural for this Primordial Skydragon Hawk to have a few cards up his sleeves,
since he didn’t fear Nine Nether
also, he showed no leniency the moment he attacked, since he knew that the Nine
Nether before him was already in the rankings of Divine Beasts. It was an opponent
that he could not afford to look down on in the slightest. The entire earth and sky
trembled along with the dragon roar. The sky dragon converged as its massive figure
whipped, tearing the space as it headed towards Nine Nether.

Based on that commotion, even the heavens and earth seemed to have shattered. Nine
Nether’s gaze was cold as she looked at the whistling sound wave of the sky dragon.

Her figure moved and reappeared on the head of the massive Nine Netherworld Bird
and stomped her feet down. A crisp and sharp cry rang out that instantly resonated
between the heavens and earth.

The Nine Netherworld Bird opened its mouth as a purple flaming sea swept out,
engulfing everything in all directions. Nine Nether lightly inhaled with her rosy
lips and devoured the purple flames, then spat it out again. A strand of flames
that was faintly flickering with purple and gold turned into a line of fire as it
shot forth. That golden-purple flames streaked across the horizon, instantly
crumbling the space and a dreadful high temperature blazed this region, even the
Spiritual Energy was boiling. “Undying flames. ”A soft roar came from Nine Nether
as it resonated. Liiii!A long clear cry became increasingly brilliant as the
golden-purple flames formed into the foot of a flaming bird, flapping its wings as
it flashed, streaking across the horizon. Under the innumerable gazes, it clashed
head-to-head with the few thousand foot sky dragon image. Before that massive image
of the sky dragon, the flaming bird that was emitting golden-purple flames was as
small as an ant in comparison. However, the results of this unequalled
confrontation made everyone overwhelmed with shock. In the instant of the clash,
the flaming bird turned into a ray of flame, and it was like a hot knife through
butter, piercing through the defence and the massive body of the sky dragon in an
instant. Golden-Purple flames spread out from the massive image of sky dragon,
those horrifying flames instantly engulfed the massive figure and madr it combust
without a single remnant. A clear and sharp cry rang out from the Primordial
Skydragon Hawk’s mouth as he roared with rage, “Undying flames?!”It was said that
the undying flames were unique flames only possessed by the Primordial Undying
Bird.

The possessor of this flame wouldn’t die or be destroyed.

It was a dream that countless experts yearned for, but the flames were extremely
overbearing.

If they weren’t compatible, they would ignite the entire Sovereign Sea to nothing
if one were to inhale a strand of them. The undying flames were only obtained
through the evolution of Divine Beasts that possessed the purest bloodline of the
Undying Bird.

However, he never expected that Nine Nether would actually possess such a divine
flame. Nine Nether maintained a calm expression as she extended her slender finger
and pointed down, ten golden-purple flames shot forth and overlapped.

It was like a flaming hissing python as it shot towards the Primordial Skydragon
Hawk, along with fluctuations that would even instilled fear to various Deans. When
the Primordial Skydragon Hawk saw it, its massive figure rapidly retreated as it
flapped its wings at the same time.

Many purple-coloured dragon scales flew out and formed into large dragon scale
shields. Poof!The flaming pythons shot over as the flames shattered the dragon
scale shields as if they were breaking bamboos and bombarded the massive figure of
the Primordial Skydragon Hawk. Boom!Flesh and blood splattered from the massive
figure of the Primordial Skydragon Hawk, falling into pieces and was combusted to
nothingness as a painful dragon roar resonated. Within that painful roar, there was
a trace of terror. Although the Nine Nether before him only possessed the strength
of a Fourth Grade Sovereign, her combat ability was something that even he feared.
The Primordial Skydragon Hawk’s eyes flashed as he clenched his teeth.

He was thinking of admitting defeat by controlling Ji Xuan’s body.

He was smart and knew that this was a tournament.

So as long as he admitted defeat, Nine Nether and Mu Chen wouldn’t dare to do

anything to them. However, just when he was about to put his thought into action,
Mu Chen, who had been observing the battle, had a chilling flash in his eyes.

Ji Xuan had excellent talent and was a deep schemer.

In addition to the aid of the Primordial Skydragon Hawk in the dark, he would
definitely have high achievements in the future.

If he let go of this chance, he might leave behind a considerable seed in the

future. Letting the tiger back to the mountain was something he was unwilling to
do. Thus, Mu Chen suddenly raised his head, and his figure moved.

He appeared on the body of the massive Nine Netherworld Bird and sat down with his
eyes tightly shut.

At the same time, the mysterious black paper in his aura sea quietly trembled.
“Nine Nether, lend me your strength again!”Mu Chen barked in his heart, and in a
flash, torrential and endless energy flowed into him. The trembling of the
mysterious black paper, which was the Immortal Page, became even more urgent as
traces of purple runes quietly spread out and emitted radiant purple light. Mu
Chen’s shut eyes abruptly opened as both of his hands rapidly formed a peculiar
seal, which was like a lotus flower. Purple light exploded in an earth-shattering
manner and, in the next instant, everyone saw a dark purple mandala flower, which
was extremely beautiful, appear between the heavens and earth. “Immortal Seal!”Mu
Chen’s gaze was cold as he pointed down with his finger.

The enormous purple mandala flower trembled and disappeared in the next instant.

When it reappeared, it was already beneath the Primordial Skydragon Hawk. The
expression of the Primordial Skydragon Hawk drastically changed as a smear of fear
surged from its eyes.
Chapter 633 - Cutting the weed and eliminating the roo tThe petals of the
bewitching mandala flower were swaying and slowly blossoming with purple lustre,
causing this space to be exceptionally distorted. Purple light lingered as it
formed a light screen that enveloped the Primordial Skydragon Hawk. Dense fear
surged from the Primordial Skydragon Hawk’s ferocious eyes as that mysterious
mandala flower made him feel a deadly threat. That pressure was even stronger than
earlier when Nine Nether appeared. Boom!He flapped his broad wings and heavily
slammed against the purple light screen.

The dreadful impact caused fluctuations on the purple light screen. Mu Chen’s eyes
were indifferent as he looked at the raging Primordial Skydragon Hawk as the lotus
seal in his hand changed once again. Tsk! Tsk!Purple rays of light burst from the
mandala flower.

The flower was formed with endless runes, making it seem profound, and the vines
were covered in sharp spikes. Whoosh! Whoosh!The mandala flower swept out from all
directions as it tangled the body of the Primordial Skydragon Hawk at lightning
speed. Liiiii!Along with the shrouding of the purple vines, the Primordial
Skydragon Hawk unleashed a sharp cry.

The terrifying ripples on its body were rapidly diminishing and judging from the
looks of it, it was actually being restrained at this moment. Nine Nether witnessed
the scene as she flung the corner of her lips to the side.

She knew exactly how great that mysterious mandala flower was.

Back then, when she was in Mu Chen’s body, she suffered a massive loss from it. But
the times have changed.

With Mu Chen’s strength, in addition to hers, it was possible to summon the real
mysterious mandala flower out.

This time, the Primordial Skydragon Hawk had bumped into a hot iron plate. Boom!
Boom!Violent Spiritual Energy ripples violently exploded, and the Primordial
Skydragon Hawk had clearly sensed something was amiss as it violently struggled.

However, no matter how it fought, it was unable to break free from the purple
vines.

Furthermore, the spikes on the vines pierced deeper into his body as he struggled,
covering him in blood. “Seal!”Mu Chen’s face was grave as he unleashed a bark and
his hand seals rapidly changed. Tsk! Tsk!Innumerable vines started to withdraw,
along with the massive size of the Primordial Skydragon Hawk, into the centre of
the mandala flower. Although that speed was slow, it was substantial, since it
wasn’t affected by the struggling Primordial Skydragon Hawk. When it was closing in
on the mysterious mandala flower, fear finally surged in the eyes of the Primordial
Skydragon Hawk as he anxiously yelled, “I admit defeat, I will no longer put a hand
into the matters between you and Ji Xuan!”Mu Chen’s gaze was calm as he gently
shook his head while looking at the Primordial Skydragon Hawk.

It was a little late to admit defeat now.

Furthermore, he wasn’t someone who would be unnecessarily lenient at this crucial

point in time.

Thus, the speed of the purple vines increased and finally, the massive size of the
Primordial Skydragon Hawk was pulled into the centre of the purple mandala flower.
In an instant, the bewitching petals folded up, bit by bit, into a flower bud,
covering up the Primordial Skydragon Hawk. Profound purple runes appeared on the
surface of the flower bud, as if it was a mysterious seal that had utterly sealed
the aura of the Primordial Skydragon Hawk. Boom! Boom!Occasionally, there would be
violent trembles coming from the flower bud.

It was probably the Primordial Skydragon Hawk struggling within, but it wasn’t able
to break free. Innumerable people looked at the large bewitching flower bud, and
their gazes were a little dazed.

Who could have imagined that the mighty Primordial Skydragon Hawk from before would
be subdued just like that…?That was a powerful Spiritual Beast with the strength of
Fourth Grade Sovereign!Even the various Deans seated up in midair might not have
the confidence to thoroughly suppress it.

However, such a young man had achieved that. Even with the composure of the Deans
up in the sky, they couldn’t help going into silence at his moment as they
exchanged looks.

They were a little shocked in their hearts as they looked at the towering youth
with complicated gazes. This boy is out of the ordinary. Under the innumerable
gazes, Mu Chen made a gesture, causing the large flower bud to return and it was
devoured by the Nine Netherworld Bird. With Mu Chen’s strength, even if he could
seal the Primordial Skydragon Hawk with the help of Nine Nether’s power, it was
impossible for him to thoroughly refine it
thus, he needed Nine Nether to process this step. With Nine Nether’s current
strength and the might of the undying flames, it wasn’t a difficult task for her to
deal with the Primordial Skydragon Hawk. When Nine Nether devoured the flower bud,
Ji Xuan, who had his eyes shut, abruptly opened them.

His face was pale, and a mouthful of fresh blood spewed out.

His complexion was terrible, and his eyes were filled with shock. Although his
body was controlled by the Primordial Skydragon Hawk earlier, he was able to
witness what happened. Ji Xuan’s gaze stared at the indifferent Mu Chen with
disbelief.

He actually… defeated even the Primordial Skydragon Hawk? Because of the lodging
relationship between them, Ji Xuan could sense that he had lost the connection with
the Primordial Skydragon Hawk.

Evidently, the latter was thoroughly trapped. “How is that possible…?” Ji

Xuan’scomplexion was pale as he muttered to himself without any spirit.

The splendour that he had earlier had thoroughly disappeared, even his gaze had
darkened. I refuse to believe that I have failed!All those years, he had been the
most outstanding amongst his generation, far surpassing those self-proclaimed
geniuses behind him.

Even the formidable opponent that he had once considered as his greatest enemy, Mu
Chen, wasn’t in his eyes when he felt that he had sufficient powerful trump cards
to suppress anyone in the same generation!However, the results made him feel
thunderstruck. He had revealed his trump cards again and again, but this youth
before him could always thoroughly defeat him and flip the situation around.
Unknowingly, this youth that he had schemed to expel from the Spiritual Road had,
once again, surpassed him. He looked at the youth that was standing on top of the
massive Nine Netherworld Bird.

The latter was emitting a radiating lustre and, just like that, he had become the
most dazzling existence in this region. Endless waves of envy and rage surged from
Ji Xuan’s heart.

That brilliance and honour should be mine!He felt unresigned!However, as he

clenched his teeth, he suddenly felt a chill down his spine as he saw an eerie
killing intent gushing within Mu Chen’s indifferent eyes. Rustle!In the next
instant, Mu Chen’s figure had suddenly disappeared. Ji Xuan felt his scalp numbing
as his thoughts swiftly revolved in his heart.

He knew what was Mu Chen trying to do.

He was trying to cut the weeds and pull out the roots!“I admit…” Ji Xuan clenched
his teeth with a pale expression as he had ultimately decided to admit defeat.

At this sort of time, if he had refused to accept defeat, with Mu Chen’s

personality, he would definitely not hesitate to kill him. Although admitting
defeat would be a massive blow to his self-confidence, he was not a pedantic
person.

Losing face was better than losing his life, if he lost his face, he could get it
back, but if he had lost his life, he would lose everything. He had confidence in
himself.

As long as I’m alive, the day will come where Mu Chen will regret it!However,
because Mu Chen understood his opponent too well, and Ji Xuan wasn’t any weaker
than him, he would definitely not give Ji Xuan that chance. Before Ji Xuan could
yell out the last word, Mu Chen’s figure had appeared before him, like a ghost.

There wasn’t any hesitation in him as he bent both of his fingers, forming into a
sword as vast Spiritual Energy exploded without the slightest restraint.

The gale was like a streak of light that pierced Ji Xuan’s chest at lightning
speed. Poof!The finger pierced Ji Xuan’s chest as a bloody mist splashed out.

His body flew back in an instant.

There weren’t any changes to Mu Chen’s expression as he strode forth under

everyone’s attention as he threw a palm out filled with dense killing intent.
“Impudent!”Up in midair, Saint Spiritual Academy’s Dean Tiansheng roared with anger
as he abruptly stood up.

In an instant, the sky darkened as an indescribable pressure engulfed the area,

instantly restricting Mu Chen’s movements. “Hmph!”When the pressure engulfed Mu
Chen, a cold snort resounded and dissipated that pressure.

Dean Tai Cang abruptly stood up as he stared at Dean Tiansheng. There wasn’t any
expression written on Mu Chen’s face as he did not stop his movement, regardless of
the actions of the two influential figures.

He seized the opportunity and slammed his palm against Ji Xuan’s body. Lightning
surged in that palm as that energy became extremely overbearing. Boom!As the
lightning bombarded him, Ji Xuan’s chest collapsed as he spewed a mouthful of
blood, mixed together with his shattered internal organs.

His figure shot out in a miserable state, but his eyes were still filled with
endless viciousness. Whoosh!However, that viciousness of his only lasted for an
instant, before it was replaced with fear as he saw the Nine Netherworld Bird
suddenly open its mouth as golden-purple flames swept out and engulfed him. A
terrifying temperature wreaked havoc as Ji Xuan’s body was instantly reduced to
ashes under the innumerable shocked gazes. Poof. Ashes drifted as a strand of
undetectable light flew out.

It was Ji Xuan’s Sovereign Sea, even if his physical body was destroyed, his
Spirit was concealed in his Sovereign Sea.

As long as his Sovereign Sea lived, he could still recreate his body with enough
time. Whoosh!However, when that light shot out, another blow of purple flames
descended from the sky, instantly lighting it on fire and it exploded.

In that instant, terrifying Spiritual Energy violently wreaked havoc. An anguished

howl yelled out that resonated between the earth and sky. “Impudent thing!”Up in
the sky, Dean Tiansheng roared with anger and waved his hand.

A current of Spiritual Energy was instantly formed as it charged into the

destructive Spiritual Energy and grabbed onto that tiny light. The current
protected that little bit of light and withdrew into Dean Tiansheng’s hand.

He looked at that nearly illusionary light figure, which was Ji Xuan’s spirit.

However, his Spirit had suffered a substantial injury and would dissipate soon.
This instantly made Dean Tiansheng’s face pale.

Ji Xuan’s Spirit was heavily wounded, it was already not possible for him to
recover from such injuries.

From today onwards, even if Ji Xuan could still cultivate, it was tough for him to
achieve anything. “The two of you have quite the nerve!”Dean Tiansheng’s face
seemed like it was shrouded with rainstorm as he shot a dark glance at Mu Chen and
the Nine Netherworld Bird, the eeriness in his eyes instantly dropped the
temperature in this region.

Chapter 634 - Champion “What outrageous guts the both of you have!”Dean Tiansheng’s
angry voice resounded between the heavens and earth and with a single sentence, it
was as if it had caused the heavens to crumble and the ground to crack.

The Spiritual Energy in this region was boiling with a whistle.

It was as if an order was given that would be strictly followed along with dreadful
pressure. Dean Tiansheng was indeed worthy of being the Dean of the Saint Spiritual
Academy.

The strength that was revealed behind that roar of his was even stronger than the
Primordial Skydragon Hawk. Mu Chen’s figure was swaying like a boat in waves under
that dreadful pressure.

It seemed like he could collapse in the next instant, his face was also filled with
graveness. Whoosh!Up in the sky, the Nine Netherworld Bird swiftly shrunk in size
and stood before Mu Chen in a flash, warding off that pressure for him.

Nine Nether’s gaze was cold as she stared at Dean Tiansheng as she felt that the
latter was deep and unmeasurable.

However, there wasn’t any trace of fear in her eyes. “Hmph, Dean Tiansheng, are you
not putting my Northern Heavens Spiritual Academy in your eyes to take action
against a student with your status?!” Dean Tai Cang roared in anger as well.
He strode forth and stood before Dean Tiansheng.

His towering figure was accepting all of the pressure coming from Dean Tiansheng.
Every single student was trembling with a chill down their spines, even other Deans
belonging to the other Spiritual Academies did not dare to interfere.

After all, it didn’t matter if it was Dean Tiansheng or Dean Tai Cang, they both
possessed the strongest power. “Hmph, what a huge cap Dean Tai Cang is giving me.

Aren’t you a little too protective? That brat was ruthless, and even when Ji Xuan
was already defeated, Mu Chen still tried to kill him!” Dean Tiansheng spoke with a
cold tone with his face turning pale. “It was natural for this sort of battle to be
dangerous.

Earlier, when Ji Xuan attacked, he didn’t hold back in the slightest as well. ”Dean
Tai Cang sneered, “Furthermore, according to the rules, as long as no one admitted
defeat, the battle will still carry on.

Earlier, when Dean Tiansheng interfered, you have already broken the rules.

Under the eyes of so many Deans, Dean Tiansheng should give us an explanation for
that!”Dean Tiansheng froze for a brief moment, before responding with a solemn
voice, “Earlier, Ji Xuan showed signs of admitting defeat.

However, Mu Chen was being forceful and did not give him the chance to do so!”“Dean
Tiansheng, this is not a quarrel between kids, but a Battle for the Champion!” The
corner of Dean Tai Cang’s lips rose into a mocking smile. Dean Tiansheng’s face
thoroughly darkened, and along with his dark expression, the space behind him
started to intensely distort, since Dean Tai Cang was not letting him step down
with his words.

“Your logic is ridiculous, I feel that Mu Chen’s qualification for Champion should
be revoked. ” Dean Tiansheng solemnly spoke. “Not possible!” Dean Tai Cang didn't
budge in the slightest as he wore a cold expression.

The space behind him vigorously twisted as well and vaguely, there was a thousand
foot image that slowly converged outside his body. That large image was ash-blue in
colour, as if it was emitting an aura of primal chaos.

As it rolled, the weather became unstable, and at the same time, an unspeakable
pressure enveloped, causing fluctuations even in this space. “Perhaps Dean Tai Cang
wants to spar with me?” Dean Tiansheng sneered as a radiant divine light image
gradually appeared around him as well.

The endless light spread to every single corner of this space. The two big shots
had actually summoned their Sovereign Celestial Bodies out.

If they were to fight here, this small space might not be able to withstand it.
Innumerable students were dumbfounded by the scene that unfolded before them, under
two mighty Sovereign Celestial Bodies, even they, themselves found it exceptionally
hard to breathe. Mu Chen’s gaze was also heavy as he looked at the two giants in
the sky.

Those were real Sovereign Celestial Bodies, with a move of their hands, they could
even shatter the heavens and earth.

It was a strength that others would yearn for. “The two of you losing your
composure before so many students, aren’t you guys ruining the name of the Five
Great Academies?” When Dean Tai Cang and Dean Tiansheng were facing off, the Deans
of the Myriad Phoenix Spiritual Academy, Martial Spiritual Academy and the Azure
Sky Spiritual Academy had their brows frowned as they spoke out. Up in midair, the
two Sovereign Celestial Bodies that were emitting dreadful might gradually dull
down and eventually faded.

The two of them probably knew that they would be losing face if they were to fight
here. “Dean Tai Cang, don’t be too proud too early, the ones remaining on the stage
aren’t just the students of your Northern Heavens Spiritual Academy. ” Dean
Tiansheng spoke as his expression gradually calmed down. Down below, Luo Li and Wen
Qingxuan both appeared beside Mu Chen.

Upon hearing Dean Tiansheng’s words, they smiled sweetly, “Dean Tiansheng, do you
feel that we even have the strength to fight with Mu Chen? Furthermore, I am
supportive of Mu Chen seizing the Championship. ”Wen Qingxuan was exceptionally
intelligent, how could she not have seen through Dean Tiansheng, who was trying to
make Dean Tang Qiu of their Myriad Phoenix Spiritual Academy have other thoughts?
Thus, she had immediately blocked that path with a single sentence of hers. Dean
Tang Qiu’s face still maintained gracefulness as she had cast an unintentional
glance at Wen Qingxuan, she had seen through the little girl’s thoughts and spoke
out with no other alternative, “My Myriad Phoenix Spiritual Academy doesn’t have
the qualification to poke into the Champion. ”“I believe that we should go
according to the rules, right?”Dean Tiansheng pulled the corner of his lips as he
could only suppress the displeasure in his heart and sat back down with a wave of
his sleeve.

Looks like he understood that it was impossible to revoke Mu Chen’s qualifications

for Champion. “I withdraw. ” Wen Qingxuan smiled with her eyes narrowed as she
raised her hand. Luo Li smiled as well and raised her hand. From the looks of it,
only Mu Chen was left in this battle.

Thus, the Champion title could just fall on him. Up in the sky, aside from Dean
Tiansheng, the Four Great Deans softly nodded their heads and glanced at the Deans
of the various other Spiritual Academies, which they had also nodded their heads in
agreement. “Since everyone has decided, then we, the Five Great Academies will
announce that the final Champion of this Great Spiritual Academy Tournament is…”“Mu
Chen of the Northern Heavens Spiritual Academy!” When Dean Tang Qiu’s graceful
voice resonated, the entire region went into silence for a brief instant, before it
was replaced with thunderous cheers. It caused even this space to seem like it was
trembling. Aside from the students of the Saint Spiritual Academy, who wore
disappointed expressions, the students of the other academies let out cheers that
could topple mountains and overturn seas.

The innumerable gazes of revere were looking at that slender figure on the Battle
Stage. Although that youth wasn’t in the same academy as them, the remarkable
strength that he displayed made them feel convinced in their heart. Not only was he
the most dazzling person in this Great Spiritual Academy Tournament, but there also
might not be anyone who could surpass him in the hundred years of the tournament.
“Big Brother Mu is formidable!”Amongst the earth-shattering cheers, the students of
the Northern Heavens Spiritual Academy had their faces lifted, their expressions
were the most electrified as well.

Their cheers were in order as they resounded in this region. Since the
establishment of the Northern Heavens Spiritual Academy, this result in the Great
Spiritual Academy Tournament was the best that they ever had. Whereas in the Myriad
Phoenix Spiritual Academy’s corner, Tang Qian’er’s gaze was also looking at that
extremely dazzling figure amongst the cheers.

Her gaze was a little dazzled, when compared to three years ago.
He was even more dazzling as he gradually displayed his absolute stunning
potential. She felt happy deep down in her heart to be able to witness him being
more and more dazzling.

However, when her gaze fell onto the three perfect silhouettes, the light in her
eyes dulled a little as she bit onto her rosy lips. The youth before her didn’t
seem to be the shy kid he used to be when he was young, tightly holding onto her
hand as he called out ‘Big Sister Qian’er’, a boy that always loved to follow
behind her.

In the future, he would only become even more dazzling.

So much so that one day, his name might resound throughout the Great Thousand
World.

Regarding this though, she didn’t find it ridiculous or egotistic at all. It was
because she believed in him. “Mu Chen, you can do it.

You are becoming more and more formidable now, if Uncle Mu knew about this, he
would definitely be delighted.

You will become the pride of our Northern Spiritual Realm. ” Tang Qian’er clenched
her small fist as a sad smile appeared on her face. …Mu Chen stood on the Battle
Stage as he had finally loosened up his tensed nerves under the cheers, and as his
nerves started to loosen up, his body started to sway. Beside him, three hands
extended out as they tried to support his body.

But shortly, the three of them exchanged a glance and halted their extending hands.
Mu Chen did not fall down, but his complexion was a little pale.

The battle before must have consumed a tremendous amount of his strength. Nine
Nether looked at Luo Li and Wen Qingxuan.

She did not take the initiative to chat as her figure moved, returning back into Mu
Chen’s body with a flash of light. “Congratulations, Champion. ” Wen Qingxuan
chuckled. Mu Chen bitterly smiled, since he didn’t even seem to have the strength
to tease her. Looking at him, Luo Li felt a little heartache.

She hesitated for an instant, but still extended her hand with courage and lightly
held onto his hand.

The warm and smooth sensation gave Mu Chen a light jolt in his mind and held onto
Luo Li’s as well.

He held her hand even tighter and was unwilling to let go. “Ohhhhhh! Ooooohhh!”In
the direction of the Northern Heavens Spiritual Academy, innumerable students let
out howls of envy when they witnessed this scene with many gazes filled with
admiration. Luo Li’s face was a little red as a smear of shyness flashed on her
face, so much so that even the area where she was standing looked even more
beautiful. “Congratulations, you have done it. ”Even under the countless gazes, Luo
Li still pushed her guts forward as she spoke while looking at Mu Chen. Perhaps
ever since he had left the Spiritual Road, Mu Chen had been working hard just for
this day.

Others could only witness how he soared, but they neglected the effort he put in
that made her feel a little heartache. Mu Chen looked at the crystal-clear eyes of
this girl, gripped her hand tighter and raised his head.

As the sunlight shone, a bright arc appeared on his handsome face. “Luo
Li…”“Hmm?”“Believe me… there will be a day that I will become an absolute expert,
creating clouds and rains with a flip of my hand for you. ”A smear of a gentle
smile appeared on the young girl’s delicate and charming face as she nodded,
gripping tighter onto Mu Chen’s hand. “I will wait for you. ”

Chapter 635 - Curtain Falls When the Champion appeared, the intense atmosphere in
this region quietly eased down.

The battle from before was just too unpredictable.

Thus, when the fight ended, everyone felt a heavy relief in their hearts. That
battle was already very stimulating to the heart, and if it were to continue on,
there might be some people that might not be able to take it. As the Great
Spiritual Academy Tournament ended, the light screen that separated the Battle
Stage and the student's region also gradually dissipated.

At this crucial time, the restrictions against students had also weakened. Up in
the sky, the giant Mirror of Judgement slowly revolved as light flowed on the
surface of the mirror.

Shortly after, several silhouettes were shot out of it and miserably landed on the
ground, they were those that were trapped in the Mirror of Judgement earlier. When
Shen Cangsheng, Li Xuantong and Su Xuan landed beside Mu Chen, they gave him a
thumbs up.

Judging from their gesture, despite that they were trapped in the Mirror of
Judgement, they could still watch the earth-shattering battle from before. Mu Chen
gave a smile at them before shifting his head, looking at Wen Qingxuan, who was
stretching her waist as she revealed her perfect and increasingly captivating
figure without any restraint.

“You guys will be going back to the Myriads Phoenix Spiritual Academy after this,
right?”“Yeah. ” Wen Qingxuan nodded her head.

After the Great Spiritual Academy Tournament comes to an end, this space would be
shut
thus, every student would also return to their own Spiritual Academies.

If they wanted to meet again, they would probably have to wait for an exchange
between Spiritual Academies. “Why? You miss me?” Wen Qingxuan had smiling intent in
her eyes as she looked at Mu Chen, “Then you can file in an application to join the
Myriad Phoenix Spiritual Academy.

Although our academy only accepts females, now that you are the Champion of this
Great Spiritual Academy Tournament, I believe our Dean will definitely be willing
to open a backdoor for you. ”In response to Wen Qingxuan’s teasing, Mu Chen could
only give an awkward smile. “Don’t worry, we should still have the chance to meet
in the future.

However, I believe that we won’t be meeting with this identity anymore. ” Wen
Qingxuan swept the hair on her forehead with her fair hands as she smiled. Mu Chen
lightly nodded his head in agreement.

At that time, he might have already left the Northern Heavens Spiritual Academy to
pursue a stronger Dao Path, and Wen Qingxuan’s background shouldn’t be weak.

Thus, if they were to meet again, their identities would definitely not be as of
now. “Mu Chen, if we ever meet again, I hope not to see you depressed.
 Regardless of anything, you are the Champion of the Great Spiritual Academy
Tournament.

Although the Five Great Academies are puny in comparison to the Great Thousand
World, if you lose your drive and self-confidence, I believe I will be very
disappointed in you.

Also, Luo Li will also be disappointed. ” Wen Qingxuan looked at Mu Chen.

Although she used a light tone, she doesn’t seem to be joking at all.

Mu Chen slightly fell into his thoughts.

He knew that his road might not be comfortable in the future, and will only be
harder compared to his time in the Northern Heavens Spiritual Academy.

At least right now, he could cultivate at ease, but if he entered the vast Great
Thousand World, he would have to bear much more. Although the Sovereign Realm was
just right before him, it was only the starting point for the path of real experts.
However, the talent was secondary in the path of an expert, a firm and unwavering
heart was the most important.

All these years, Mu Chen had experienced so many things, and if his heart wavered,
it would be extremely tough for him to walk this far. Mu Chen raised his head as he
looked at Wen Qingxuan’s outstanding beauty and said, “Then, we’ll wait and see.
”Wen Qingxuan’s charming face was filled with a smile as she nodded her head.

“At that time, if you haven’t disappointed me, perhaps I will think about falling
for you. ”As she spoke, she rotated her teasing gaze on Mu Chen’s body. Luo Li
helplessly cast a glance at her. “Brother Mu Chen, congratulations. ”As they
conversed, Wu Ling and Wu Yingying of the Martial Spiritual Academy, and Wen
Busheng, had come to give their congratulations.

Mu Chen had a favourable opinion about them, so he had a smile written all over his
face.

They all understood that when they leave here, god-knows when would they meet
again.

Spiritual Academies were only a passing point in their path of cultivation, and in
the future, they would head into the yearning Great Thousand World, that brilliant
stage. At that time, perhaps their mental state might not be the same anymore.

It was too hard for them to remain as pure as they were right now.

Thus, Mu Chen cherished their friendship that was made from the fights. Wu Ling,
Wen Busheng and the rest looked at Mu Chen with a complicated gaze.

No one had expected back then that the Champion of the Great Spiritual Academy
Tournament wouldn’t be the famous Ji Xuan or the well-famed Wen Qingxuan, but a
youth that hadn’t reveal much of his skills from the beginning. When Mu Chen was
plotted by Ji Xuan and Xue Tianhe in the Mirror of Judgement, they felt a little
regretful about that matter.

But who could have thought that this ferocious fellow would still manage to kill
his way out and reverse the situation around, defeating the powerful Ji Xuan in the
end?Furthermore, the means that Mu Chen had used on Ji Xuan made even them feel a
chill in their hearts.
This youth usually seemed so gentle and warm, but once his killing intent was
piqued, he would transform into a genuine slaughtering god that wouldn’t hesitate
on being ruthless. Wu Ling, Wen Busheng and the rest were all considered prideful,
so even they did not wholeheartedly accept Ji Xuan.

However, when facing Mu Chen, who was of a similar age to them, they had no choice
but to admire him. It can be assumed that in the future, this youth would
definitely not be ordinary.

Who knows, maybe after a long time later, his name would be widely spread
throughout the Great Thousand World. “Hey, you still owe me a favour, remember?” Wu
Yingying stared at Mu Chen as she had both her hands on her waist.

She still had that overbearing little pepper appearance, except that there was
always a crimson blush on her face that could not be covered up. “Miss Wu, what do
you want from me?” Mu Chen smiled. Wu Yingying stared at Mu Chen for a long while,
before spoke out stuttering, “I still have not thought about it, I’ll tell you when
I do. ”Mu Chen was a little amused that this little pepper was still very cute.

On the spot, he nodded his head and spoke in a severe tone, “No matter what you
want of me, be it climbing the blade mountains or diving into an ocean of flames, I
will definitely not knit my brows. ”“Words from men are not trustable, not to
mention that you’re still a lecher. ” Wu Yingying snorted. Mu Chen coughed out of
awkwardness. “However, you’re still pretty cool earlier, even more than my brother.

Consider my cheers weren’t in vain. ” Wu Yingying’s face was a little red as her
big, brilliant eyes stared at Mu Chen, and there wasn’t any bashfulness coming from
her when she spoke so bluntly. “Oh, thanks. ” Mu Chen scratched his head, his smile
was as warm as the sun, there wasn’t the slightest trace of coldness in his eyes
from his confrontation with Ji Xuan. Watching from the side, Wen Qingxuan lightly
flung her lips aside as she moved closer to Luo Li and lowered her voice, “This
fellow’s fate with girls is a little too good, who knows how many girls he might
get himself involved with when you leave.

Are you really assured? Why don’t you and I get together and dump him. ”Wen
Qingxuan lowered her voice on purpose, but was able to be heard by him.

Mu Chen’s eyelids uncontrollably twitch as Luo Li rolled her eyes at Wen Qingxuan.
Wen Qingxuan smiled with narrowed eyes at Mu Chen and approached him, while Luo Li
was talking to Shen Cangsheng and the rest.

After that, she cast a glance at the direction of the Myriad Phoenix Spiritual
Academy and said, “But, you have a friend at our Myriad Phoenix Spiritual Academy,
you want to go take a look?”“Big Sister Qian’er?” Mu Chen was stunned for a moment
when he heard her words, and after that, joy surged in his eyes as he shifted his
eyes in the direction of the Myriad Phoenix Spiritual Academy.

He saw a girl dressed in a light green dress as she stood tall and upright, looking
at him as well with her spirited eyes at this moment. In just two to three years of
time, the girl had already faded from her unripened state and had blossomed.

Even when she was just quietly standing there, she was still very charming. Seeing
Mu Chen looking over, a faint smile surfaced from Tang Qian’er’s pearly-white face.
Mu Chen’s figure moved and leapt into the countless flowers of the Myriad Phoenix
Spiritual Academy’s direction as he stood before Tang Qian’er and smiled, “Big
Sister Qian’er, it has been a long time. ”The girl still had a ponytail tied up
behind her head, with the length of her hair draped to her waist.

She was smiling as she looked at Mu Chen with her hands behind and her body
slightly orientated to Mu Chen’s direction as a teasing smile appeared on her face.

“Looks like your time has been pretty good. ”“Big Sister Qian’er is getting
increasingly more pretty now, but it’s a pity that you are in the Myriad Phoenix
Spiritual Academy.

If you’re in our Northern Heavens Spiritual Academy, I’m afraid there will be lots
of guys chasing after you. ” Mu Chen looked at Tang Qian’er.

The figure of the girl right now was even more alluring, and due to the reason that
her body was orientated towards the front, the arc was increasingly amplified.

If she were in Northern Heavens Spiritual Academy, with her appearance and
temperament, the number of people chasing after her would definitely be more than
Senior Sister Su Xuan. “You’re teasing me. ” Tang Qian’er’s face flushed red as she
raised her fist at Mu Chen in anger. Mu Chen smiled, “Is your time in the Myriad
Phoenix Spiritual Academy well?”“Not bad, but she has always been thinking of a
heartless rat!” From the side, some girls laughed out in a lovely manner.

They seemed to be good friends of Tang Qian’er that were looking at the most
radiant youth amongst the Spiritual Academies in curiosity. Tang Qian’er’s face
flushed red as she glared at those girls behind her.

Looking at her reaction, those girls behind her immediately laughed out as they
ran. Mu Chen dryly laughed as he was a little speechless facing Tang Qian’er’s
watery eyes. “Congratulations. ” Tang Qian’er did not continue on the ambiguous
topic as she let out a faint smile.

“I believe Uncle Mu will definitely be very proud of you if he knows about this.
”Mu Chen smiled as well.

His smile was very gentle as he missed his father as well. “She’s the girl that you
liked all this while?” Tang Qian’er spoke in a soft voice as she suddenly shifted
her gaze towards Luo Li’s silhouette. Looking at Tang Qian’er, Mu Chen lightly
nodded his head. “She’s very outstanding and beautiful. ” Tang Qian’er blinked her
long and slender eyelashes as she revealed a pitiful smile. “Thanks. ” Mu Chen
smiled in response. Tang Qian’er lowered her head as she lightly swipes her feet on
the ground, and after a brief moment later, she suddenly raised her head.

“Truthfully, I regret coming to the Myriad Phoenix Spiritual Academy. ”Mu Chen
scratched his head as he didn’t dare to continue talking on this topic.

After all, both he and Tang Qian’er had grown up together

thus, the relationship between them was extremely close.

But the whole time, he had never thought about them being in a boy-girl
relationship. “Mu Chen. ”Tang Qian’er spirited eyes were exceptionally bright and
beautiful at this moment.

She seemed to have figured out something as the smile on her face was more
charming. “I will work hard to cultivate and catch up to you in the future!”The
young girl clenched her fists with absolute firmness in the depth of her eyes.

She had already regretted it once and did not want to continue regretting it.

She had to work hard and chase after him.

At least this way, she would be able to stand by his side. Mu Chen looked into the
eyes of the girl and lightly nodded his head in the end.
 It wasn’t a bad thing to give her an objective to chase after. “Then, I will wait
for Big Sister Qian’er to surpass me. ”Mu Chen let out a gentle smile as he raised
his head, looking at the space filled with a multitude of people and inhaled a deep
mouthful of air as the look on his eyes relaxed. The Great Spiritual Academy
Tournament had finally come to an end. In the three years he spent in the Northern
Heavens Spiritual Academy, he was able to submit a perfect answer sheet, despite
knowing that this was just the beginning of his path of dao.

Chapter 636 - Before Parting Northern Heavens Spiritual AcademyEven when the hype
that was brought from the Great Spiritual Academy Tournament lasted for nearly ten
days, it showed no signs of dying down.

The entire academy was covered with excitement and a cheerful atmosphere. The
academy side did not stop the students from cheering and celebrating, allowing them
to act as they pleased.

Even the higher-ups of the academy might probably be submerging in celebrations

right now.

After all, it had been a long time since such results were produced, aside from the
peak period when the Northern Heavens Spiritual Academy was established. After
suppressing their emotions for so long, they coyld finally bask in joy this time.
At the headquarters of the Goddess Luo Association. In a towering mountain peak
covered in lush green, the entire Goddess Luo Association could be seen from above.

The vast training ground was filled with silhouettes. Over there, that direction
was also filled with elation. At the peak of the mountain, the youth was quietly
lying on the grass as a breeze of wind blew over and swayed the grass rubbing on
his face.

Indolence and warmth made him involuntarily close his eyes. This peace was
delightful for him.

After the Great Spiritual Academy Tournament that lasted for half a year, this was
nearly an impossible luxurious enjoyment.

Only after going through the pressing and intense tournament, would he know that
this moment was incredibly precious. A breeze blew over along with a strand of
fragrance. A girl in an azure dress, who was extremely elegant, quietly walked to
the youth’s side, and stared at his handsome face as a gentle arc rose from the
corner of her lips.

She plucked out a strand of grass with her pearly-white fingers and lightly brushed
it on Mu Chen’s face. The tickling sensation made Mu Chen lazily open his eyes as
he looked at the girl before him.

He grinned and extended his hand, intending on embracing her waist. Seeing his
reaction, Luo Li quickly dodged as her absolutely beautiful face was filled with
smiles as she looked at Mu Chen, “The entire academy is celebrating and you, the
protagonist is idling here. ”“I really don’t have the strength for it. ” Mu Chen
lightly supported his body up and leaned against a huge rock, revealing a weak
smile. Seeing Mu Chen’s smile, Luo Li, who was intending to tease him, felt a
little heartache.

She squatted down, her crystal-clear eyes were flowing with gentleness. “You have
already done an outstanding job.
Did you know? At that moment, when you obtained the Champion, even I felt proud of
you. ” Luo Li’s voice was gentle, the genuine tenderness shown in her eyes could
even melt the stone heart of any man. Hearing the voice that was as gentle as water
by his ears, the weak smile hung on the corner of his lips quietly melted away and
was replaced by an indescribable emotion and satisfaction.

In his eyes, not even the thousands or hundreds of praises from others was
comparable to the smear of gentle care of this girl before him. “Luo Li. ”“Hmm?”
the girl smiled. “Give me a hug. ” Mu Chen smiled with narrowed eyes as he extended
both his arms out. Luo Li’s face was red as she shook her head, “I don’t want to.
”“I want!” Mu Chen bounced up as his arms quickly embraced the slender waist of the
girl and pushed her down onto the grass in an overbearing manner with him on top.
Facing the familiar face that was extremely close to hers, and breathing in the
blowing smell, Luo Li’s face flushed red as she raised her small fist and shyly
hammered him.

“Rogue. ”Mu Chen did not do anything else as he had only lowered his head and
looked at the absolutely beautiful face.

Unknowingly, the girl had grown even more attractive compared to before.

That temperament of hers became even more stunningly charming, which made Mu Chen
slightly daze off.

As he had started to grow, the girl before him had started to change as well.
Perhaps one day, she would thoroughly shred the unripeness of a girl and become the
true Empress of the Luo God Clan.

At that time, her fame might be resounding throughout the Great Thousand World.
Although he had a powerful mother himself, she couldn’t do much for him
on the contrary, it brought him a danger. However, Mu Chen hadn't issued a single
complaint.

All these years, he had depended on his own hard work and understood from the
start that it was impossible to become a real expert by depending on those
blessings. Luo Li, who had initially accepted the fact that Mu Chen was going to be
touchy, slightly narrowed her eyes when she discovered that the latter had not
shown any signs of playing rogue.

Her charming pair of eyes was staring at that handsome face. The looks in the
latter’s eyes was a little absent-minded, but it was also quietly fluctuating.

In the end, the youth still revealed a faint smile.

His smile was radiating with self-confidence. That smile made Luo Li bite her rosy
lips and showed a little rare infatuation because, what she liked about Mu Chen was
this radiant self-confidence of his. “Luo Li, you are leaving very soon, right?” Mu
Chen spoke as he streaked his finger across Luo Li’s face. The body of the girl
beneath him unnoticeably trembled, her crystal-clear eyes had also dulled down a
lot at that moment.

She had always kept quiet about this matter, but she never expected Mu Chen to be
so keen and sense it. She looked at Mu Chen’s face and softly said, “Grandfather
only gave me two years of time, and the allocated time has already passed. ” Her
pupils were dull in colour as she knew that when they part this time, god-knows
when they would meet again.

She wanted to stay with Mu Chen, but she couldn’t because, she wasn’t alone.
 She was the future Empress of the Luo God Clan, she still had to protect the
countless clansmen. “Mu Chen, I’m sorry. ”Luo Li bit her rosy lips hard as the
corner of her eyes turned red.

She knew that perhaps in the next period of time, Mu Chen would be chasing after
her steps, steps filled with thorns and she was well-aware of how much heart-aching
effort he would have to pay to stand out in the Great Thousand World. The Great
Thousand World was too vast, and there were too many geniuses.

Many of them quietly fell before they could even cause a ripple. Those that could
stand out in the Great Thousand World were those that had experienced innumerable
hardships, in which many would forget themselves. If it were possible, she would
rather have Mu Chen stay ordinary.

At least this way, he could still maintain that sunshine smile of his and wouldn’t
be covered in wounds just to follow her footsteps. At this point in time, she
should be staying by his side.

Mu Chen revealed a faint smile as he looked at Luo Li’s eyes that were turning
red.

“Although I want you to stay by my side, it will be too selfish of me to do that.

I know that you feel sorry for me, but since you can temporarily push aside the
Luo God Clan to be by my side, there’s no reason why can’t I work hard for your
sake ”“Luo Li, I love you.

The Luo God Clan might be too far from me right now, and I can’t make your
grandfather and clansmen accept me.

It could be so much so that they might even doubt your eyesight and feel that you
have only fallen for a guy that has good fortune, but…”Mu Chen looked at the
emotions stirred in Luo Li’s eyes as he continued, “Believe me.

There will be a day when I will go to the Luo God Clan.

At that time, I will let them know that you have not found an ordinary stone in
the desert, but a stone that is even more dazzling than a diamond. ”“For that, I
will give it my all. ”Luo Li covered her mouth with her small hands as tears were
brewing in the depths of her eyes.

She was filled with touching emotions and joy as she nodded her head. “Okay, don’t
just feel heartache for me, your time in the Luo God Clan will not be easy as well.

No matter what happens, remember to wait for me, no matter what!” Mu Chen wiped
the tears off Luo Li’s face with his finger as he smiled. “I will definitely go to
the Luo God Clan and find you, I will use this as a pledge. ”Mu Chen pulled away
Luo Li’s hands and lowered his head, lightly kissing her rosy lips. It was as
chilled as jade. A breezy wind blew past, she was submerged in passion and extended
her arms and looped them over the youth’s neck as she offered her brightly-coloured
and tender lips.

A smear of redness flashed across her eyes, becoming the most beautiful scene on
this peak. In the next few minutes, Mu Chen and Luo Li stuck close together.

The both of them could be considered the most dazzling pair in the Northern
Heavens Spiritual Academy.
 When innumerable people saw them, their eyes were filled with envy. However, they
did not sense that as time passed, Luo Li’s lively smile had also unknowingly
dulled down a lot. Although she displayed happiness on the outside, she couldn’t
maintain that sort of peace. And this gloominess lasted till the eighth day. The
cultivating platform of the Goddess Luo Association’s headquarters. Luo Li and Mu
Chen were leaning against each other’s back as they sat on the towering rock and
leisurely looked at those members of the Goddess Luo Association’s training.

Seeing how intimate those two were, everyone felt admiration from the depths of
their hearts. Luo Li lightly held onto Mu Chen’s hand as she wore a smear of a
light smile on her lips.

They had been maintaining this way till the sun set as the scarlet sunshine shone
on the land. Luo Li’s hand abruptly trembled. Mu Chen felt her sudden action. Luo
Li turned her head as she lightly planted a kiss on Mu Chen’s face which was rare
for her to do so in the view of everyone.

After that, she stood up and raised her head, focusing her gaze towards the sky
far away. The space in that direction suddenly distorted and a large spatial vortex
followed after.

From the vortex, everyone clearly saw a colossal lustre shuttling through space as
a foot stepped out.

An imposing figure that seemed like he could cover the sky and earth slowly
appeared in this horizon. The entire Northern Heavens Spiritual Academy was covered
under this deity-like figure. And judging from Luo Li’s expression, Mu Chen knew
that this person should be the current Patriarch of the Luo God Clan, which was Luo
Li’s grandfather, who was an existence at the level of Earth Sovereign. Luo
Tianshen.

Chapter 637 - Luo Tianshen Space was torn apart, forming into a sizable vortex that
seemed like it was connected to another world.

At this moment, an imposing figure appeared out of the pitch-black vortex that
could make the heart of others race. That silhouette was initially gigantic, but
when that figure appeared, it returned to normal size, and every single eye in the
Northern Heavens Spiritual Academy was looking at it in shock. It was an elderly
man with white hair and beard, donned in black robes.

His face was aged, but there was a heart-racing prestige emitting from him, even
the space around him was faintly trembling from that prestige. The entire earth and
sky seemed to be submitting beneath his feet. An indescribable pressure enveloped
over, causing the ecstatic atmosphere in the Northern Heavens Spiritual Academy to
turn silent in an instant.

Not only students, but even some Elders had their faces paled as they looked at
that figure.

The pressure was something that they had not felt before.

It was so much so that even Lord Northern Sea, the most powerful existence in the
Northern Heavens Spiritual Academy, did not possess such suffocating pressure. Just
what was the identity of that man to be so compelling to such an extent?In the
horizon far away, the space vortex wiggled.

After the appearance of this deity-like elder, light appeared once again from the
vortex, which was followed with deep roars. Everyone saw hundreds of enormous
silver cranes flapping their wings, covered in violent lightning as they passed
through the vortex and quietly hovered behind the black-robed elder. At this
moment, everyone realised that on those cranes, there were knights donning silver
armour and holding large silver spears.

Although they had remained silent, a heavy killing aura swept out from their
bodies, showing that they were a mighty army.

The formation they had made the faces of innumerable students turn pale.

Those knights riding on those lightning cranes had undoubtedly undergone countless
life and death battles, a genuine army, not a regular army that was loose and
disorganised. If this army launched their attacks, not even a Sovereign expert
would withstand their assault. Mu Chen stood up with a heavy expression, while
looking at the black-robed elder, as well as the army behind him.

Those lightning cranes should be Lightning Eater Cranes, ranking 24th on the
Spiritual Beast Records.

With so many of them here, it showed how fearsome the Luo God Clan was. When this
mysterious group appeared, the Northern Heavens Spiritual Academy was clearly
intimidated by it.

However, the academy side swiftly reacted as screeches of wind rang out along with
the Elders rushing over, cautiously looking at that group. Behind those Elders,
large groups from the Punishment Hall also had their guards up. But even when
facing the guard from the Northern Heavens Spiritual Academy, the group of people
did not move.

The black-robed elder that stood in front swept his glance about, before fixing it
at a specific direction.

In that direction, there was a slender, elegant and outstanding beauty quietly
standing there as she looked at him. Looking at the girl, a faint gentle smile that
was hard to detect appeared on the face of the dignified elder.

A moment later, he shifted his gaze onto Mu Chen, who stood beside Luo Li. Although
there was a considerable distance between them, Mu Chen felt a dreadful pressure
enveloping him through the space in that instant.

That pressure even created faint cracks on the stone beneath his feet. However, the
range of that pressure was perfectly controlled, aside from the area he stood,
there wasn’t any pressure that leaked out. Luo Li seemed to have sensed it with her
keen senses as she slightly knitted her brows and was about to move forth. However,
Mu Chen extended his hand and held onto her wrist and lightly shook his head.

He knew that if he needed Luo Li to stand before him during their first meeting,
that Patriarch of the Luo God Clan would be thoroughly disappointed in him, or
perhaps he didn’t have much expectations for himself in the first place. Mu Chen’s
expression was calm, only Luo Li, who had her hand held by him, could feel the
faint trembling.

Sweat seeped from his back, drenching his clothes in it. A pressure coming from an
Earth Sovereign was just too frightening. If Luo Tianshen had any intentions to
kill, Mu Chen would probably be slaughtered in an instant. However, no matter how
much pressure he felt, Mu Chen still maintained a calm expression.

The pressure lasted for merely two minutes but had made Mu Chen feel a little
numbness in his body. Thus, when the pressure was suddenly withdrawn, Mu Chen
realised that he could move his body, and because of the strength behind his grip,
it left behind a mark on Luo Li’s fair wrist. In the distant sky, Luo Tianshen
gradually retracted his gaze and faintly said, “He does have some endurance, not as
bad as I thought. ”Behind Luo Tianshen, there were two Lightning Eater Cranes that
were closer to him, which had two men on them.

Judging from their appearances, their ages were roughly twenty-seven or twenty-
eight.

They were donned in silver armour as they emitted cool dispositions.

Their temperaments weren’t ordinary. Clearly, the status of those two wasn’t low,
but they didn’t seem to be close to each other as they maintained a distance apart
and did not speak.

However, the killing aura concealed in the centre of their brows made them seem
like restrained asuras. When those knights behind them saw the back silhouettes of
those two, the revere emitting from the depths of their hearts was revealed in
their eyes.

Clearly, those two guys weren’t ordinary. When they heard Luo Tianshen’s faint
voice, there was a ripple in their initially calmed eyes.

They directed their gazes over to that direction, looking a little curious. Whoosh!
Within the Northern Heavens Spiritual Academy, there was a light silhouette that
soared towards the horizon.

Seeing the arrival of Dean Tai Cang, their expressions were heavy as they looked at
Luo Tianshen and did not speak.

A familiar laughter then rang out in this region. “Haha, what rare guests we have.

I never expected the Luo God Clan to come to our Northern Heavens Spiritual
Academy.

It was inconsiderate of me not to have received you guys. ” Next to Dean Tai Cang,
there was a slightly crooked elderly figure that appeared, he was the Northern Sea
Dragon of the Northern Heavens Spiritual Academy. When every student saw the
arrival of the Northern Sea Dragon, they felt inwardly relieved.

That figure was the real pillar of the Northern Heavens Spiritual Academy. Luo
Tianshen had also shifted his gaze over when the Northern Sea Dragon appeared as a
smear of astonishment surfaced in his eyes.

From the looks of it, he seemed to have sensed the strength possessed by the
latter. The latter was similarly at Earth Sovereign Realm. “You must be Sire
Northern Sea of the Northern Heavens Spiritual Academy, right? I am Luo Tiansheng,
I hope you don’t blame me for my impromptu visit. ” Luo Tianshen said with a faint
smile. “So it’s the Patriarch of the Luo God Clan, it’s an honour to meet you at
last. ” The Northern Sea Dragon cupped his hands with a smile hung on his face as
he restrained a lot of his worldly despise from earlier and became a little solemn.

Although he was also in the Earth Sovereign Realm, he understood that there was
still a considerable distance between him and Luo Tianshen.

After all, the latter had been at the Earth Sovereign Realm for a long time, while
he had just broken through to this realm a year ago. When Luo Tianshen’s reputation
was resonating, his was still mediocre. “Patriarch Luo, I wonder what matter do you
have to visit our Northern Heavens Spiritual Academy?” Seeing the appearance of the
Northern Sea Dragon, Dean Tai Cang also felt relief in his heart as he spoke
politely with his hands cupped together. “I’m here to bring my granddaughter back,
I believe the two of you won’t obstruct me in this, right?” Luo Tianshen spoke as
he smiled. Dean Tai Cang and the Northern Sea Dragon exchanged a glance as they
looked at the direction of the Goddess Luo Association.

In the entire Northern Heavens Spiritual Academy, there was probably only that girl
that could be associated with the Luo God Clan.

However, they never imagined that Luo Li was the granddaughter of Luo Tianshen,
which also implied that she’s the next Empress of the Luo God Clan…“Students in the
Northern Heavens Spiritual Academy have their freedom, as long as they do not
breach the rules in the academy, they can leave as they wish.

We will not meddle in it. ” Northern Sea Dragon smiled. “Then, I have to thank the
both of you. ” Luo Tianshen nodded his head as he took a step forth, and his figure
had already disappeared.

In that instant when he went, the two men behind him had also disappeared as well.
The sky above Goddess Luo Association. Space rippled as three figures appeared in
front of Luo Li and Mu Chen under the countless gazes. “Li’er, follow me back. ”
Luo Tianshen looked at the girl that was becoming more and more outstanding, a
smear of gratification appeared on his face as he extended his withered hand out to
Luo Li with a smile. Luo Li looked at the elder before her and bit her rosy lips.

She took a glance at Mu Chen, who nodded his head with great difficulty. She
casually strode forth, but her steps were plodding and cumbersome.

Her crystal-clear pupils dimmed down so much that it could make others feel
heartbroken. Although he was already prepared for it, he couldn’t stop the sour
feeling from his nose as he looked at her silhouette.

His hands were already tightly clenched in his sleeves, perhaps if he was powerful
enough, no one would be able to take her away from him. However, he was still too
weak. Mu Chen inhaled a mouthful of air.

At this instant, his understanding became even more apparent.

He needed to grow stronger so that this scene before him wouldn’t take place a
second time. Luo Li’s steps abruptly stopped as she turned around and dived into Mu
Chen’s embrace.

Her arms were tightly locked onto Mu Chen’s waist as she bit her rosy lips to the
point that they started to bleed. Mu Chen had also embraced the girl in his chest.
This scene made countless members of the Goddess Luo Association feel sour in their
hearts. Luo Tianshen quietly watched this scene, and the eyes of those two behind
him rippled a little as they gave another glance at Mu Chen and slightly shifted
their eyes. Mu Chen slowly loosened his hug.

He lowered his head and softly said in Luo Li’s ears, “I will not let anyone take
you away from me ever again, no one!”His voice was soft and slow, but the firmness
in it was unquestionable. Tears gathered in Luo Li’s eyes as she knew that for this
objective, god-knows how much heartbreaking effort he would have to pay.

But at this sort of time, she did not speak anything else and slowly nodded her
head. She pushed Mu Chen away and finally turned around without any hesitation.

She walked past Luo Tianshen without taking his withered hand.
Clearly, she was a little furious in her heart. “Young Patriarch. ”The two men
standing behind Luo Tianshen issued a faint smile to Luo Li as they bowed.

Their hands were clenched as they place them on their chests, “Your knight has come
to fetch you. ”They waved their hands as three brilliant Lightning Eater Cranes
flew over screeching in the wind.

One of them was exceptionally elegant and slender.

Luo Li leapt up and landed on it. As the Lightning Eater Crane that carried Luo Li
left, Luo Tiansheng looked at Mu Chen for the first time, there weren’t any
emotions revealed on his face. Mu Chen had also raised his head as he looked at the
old man that had supported the last glory of the Luo God Clan.

In comparison to that old man, he was young and wore a calm expression. There
wasn’t any fear in him.

Chapter 638 - Converse The wind blew from the sky as clouds lazily drifted, casting
huge shadows onto the ground. Mu Chen and Luo Tianshen were shrouded by a shadow as
a gentle wind slightly fluttered the corner of their clothes.

The surrounds seemed to have calmed down at this instant as countless gazes focused
on the two of them. Even others that weren’t too sure of the current situation
could faintly sense the abnormal atmosphere. In the distant sky, Dean Tai Cang had
his brows knitted at the sight of this scene and looked at the Northern Sea Dragon.

The latter smiled with his eyes narrowed and lightly waved his hand, “Rest assured,
Mu Chen is someone from our Northern Heavens Spiritual Academy.

Although the Luo God Clan isn’t good to provoke, I won’t let him suffer any
bullying in our academy. ”“However… the situation right now doesn’t seem to be good
for us to meddle in.

After all, Luo Tianshen is Luo Li’s grandfather, it is natural for an elder to
examine the guy his granddaughter loves. ”Dean Tai Cang bitterly smiled, “I’m just
afraid that this old man will break them apart. ”“If that’s the case, it might not
be a bad thing for Mu Chen,” said the Northern Sea Dragon.

He knew that Mu Chen was a raw jade that required some polishing if it wanted to be
a perfect jade. Dean Tai Cang sighed, and just when he was about to speak, his
expression suddenly changed.

His gaze was directed to a secluded peak that was flickering with spiritual light
which flew over to Mu Chen’s direction. One of the two guys that picked up Luo Li
earlier had his eyes flickered with light and his figure move, instantly appearing
in the direction of the light that was flying over. “Hold your steps. ” He spoke in
a loud and clear voice with his fluttering black long hair. Rustle!That streak of
light showed no signs of stopping and on the contrary, it increased instead. The
guy had his eyes narrowed with killing intent concealed in the centre of his brows.

He grasped his hand and a longspear appeared in a flicker and at the next instant,
he thrust his spear forth. Boom!Lightning converged between the heavens and earth
that tore this space apart.

Everyone could see a huge spear image piercing through space towards that streak of
light at speed comparable to lightning. That streak of light lightly extended her
hand out as stars gathered on her slender fingers and flicked.

The vast sky of stars flew out, instantly forming into an enormous Spiritual Array.

Within that Spiritual Array, it was as if a volcano was emerging. Boom!The volcano
erupted as violent Spiritual Energy swept out in this region and collided with the
huge spear. The two dreadful energies wreaked havoc and spread out. Astonishment
flashed across the man’s eyes and just when he was about to unleash another attack,
his expression froze as he realised that the earth and sky around him had suddenly
darkened.

Space was distorted as it formed into a profound Spiritual Array with dominant
fluctuations of Spiritual Energy that trapped him inside.

The streak of light flew past him, bypassing the blockade and appeared in the sky
of the Goddess Luo Association.

However, she only stood there and did not approach Mu Chen and Luo Tianshen.

However, anyone could tell that she came for Mu Chen. TssskEarth-shattering spear
light tore apart the profound Spiritual Array.

After breaking free from the Spiritual Energy, that man was looking at the
beautiful girl dressed in white with shock in his eyes and smiled, “So it’s a
Spiritual Array Grandmaster, I have misjudged you. ”The one that attacked was Ling
Xi, but at this moment, she did not look at the long-haired man and only stared at
Mu Chen and Luo Tianshen. Ling Xi’s appearance made Mu Chen a little startled.

He looked at the former’s bright eyes as he felt touched in his heart.

He knew that Ling Xi had come forth so that he didn’t suffer too much pressure from
Luo Tianshen. Despite having a massive gap between herself and Luo Tianshen, there
wasn’t any hesitation in her. Liiiiii!Just when Mu Chen was feeling touched in his
heart, a bright and crisp cry suddenly rang out.

A purple light soared out of Mu Chen’s body and into the sky.

As the light spread out, it had formed into a sizable black bird with purple flames
blazing on its body. That was naturally the Nine Netherworld Bird. She stopped high
up in the sky as she flapped her wings, bringing along a terrifying gale.

But similarly, she only stayed in the air and did not make any other movements.
“The Nine Netherworld Bird?”The gaze of the two men that followed Luo Tianshen
changed again, looking at Ling Xi and the Nine Netherworld Bird before looking at
Mu Chen. There was a hint of shock in their eyes, since the youth that looked so
weak and feeble in their eyes didn't seem to be as simple as he looked.

At least it was impossible for an ordinary youth to have such a formation around
him. “Spiritual Array Grandmaster… Nine Netherworld Bird…”Raising his head, a faint
smile appeared on Luo Tianshen’s face as he shifted his gaze towards Mu Chen.

“If you want to threaten me with this, your methods are still too tender. ”“If I
were to threaten, I will do it myself.

They are only my friends. ” Mu Chen spoke calmly. Luo Tianshen calmly stared at Mu
Chen, and after a brief moment, he nodded his head.

At least Mu Chen wasn’t too disappointing for their first meeting.

If this youth before him couldn’t pass with the first look, Luo Tianshen wouldn’t
give him any chance, even if that girl would hate him for the rest of her life.
“What is your name?”“Mu Chen,” replied Mu Chen. “I believe Luo Li has told you the
matters regarding the Luo God Clan with the relationship the both of you have. ”Luo
Tianshen continued to slowly speak, “I believe you also understand how important
she is to the Luo God Clan. ”Luo Tianshen glanced at Mu Chen.

“In the three years that Luo Li left, the Luo God Clan has undergone hundreds of
battles, whether it was on a large or small scale.

We have also lost countless of our people. ”Mu Chen went into his thoughts, as if
he could smell the blood-reeking sea of blood spreading out.

That sort of battle would definitely be cruel. Luo Tianshen shifted his head as he
looked at Luo Li, who was seated on a Lightning Eater Crane, she was also looking
over at their direction from far away.

The old man helplessly sighed as he spoke, “What I am going to tell you next is not
to advise you to give up on Luo Li. ”“Do you see those two men?” Luo Tianshen cast
a glance at the two men that fetched Luo Li. “Among those two, one of them is
called Luo Qingya.

He can be considered a rare genius in the younger generation of the Luo God Clan
furthermore, he does not have any arrogance or impatience that most geniuses would
have.

All these years, he cultivated from the lowest position of the army and underwent
all sorts of trials before becoming the captain of the Lightning Crane Army at such
a young age.

Right now, he also possesses considerable fame among the four armies of the Luo
God Clan. “The other one is called Luo Xiu, he is from a branch of the Luo God
Clan’s royalty.

His status is high, and ever since he was young, he was named trash.

He was once thrown into the battlefield by his father, and at that time, he was
only ten.

In that battle, his father died, only he survived and managed to climb his way out
of the mountain of corpses. “Right now, he has also become one of the well-known
figures in the younger generation of the Luo God Clan with unlimited prospects. ”Mu
Chen went into silence, those two were definitely not ordinary people, and in the
future, they would definitely become dominant figures.

He could feel it as he sensed that those two were even more dangerous than Ji
Xuan. “The both of them are Luo Li’s knights, and likewise, they are also in love
with Luo Li. ” Luo Tianshen spoke as he stared at Mu Chen. Mu Chen slightly knitted
his brows as he looked at Luo Tianshen, “Patriarch Luo is trying to get me to give
up knowing how difficult it is?”“I’m not trying to ask you to give up, I just want
you to know how outstanding those that like Luo Li are.

If you do not have that ability, I’m afraid it won’t be a good thing for you to
stand by her side. ” Luo Tianshen spoke slowly. “She’s too outstanding, and if you
stand by her side, there will always be people that dislike you.

And at that time, you will only suffer contempt from your strength or even suffer
humiliation.
 At that time, do you want her to protect you from matters?”Mu Chen submerged into
his thoughts, what Luo Tianshen said had deeply affected him.

However, he raised his head and smiled, it wasn’t a smile that was putting on a
brave front. He looked at Luo Tianshen and spoke in a severe tone, “Patriarch Luo,
perhaps you might feel that I am arrogant and ignorant from what I am about to say.

But I still have to say it…”Mu Chen cast a glance at the two guys that made every
single genius in the Northern Heavens Spiritual Academy dim, the brilliance in his
eyes became even sharper as he revealed what was in his black pupils, “When I am of
the same age as them, I will far surpass them. ”Luo Tianshen was stunned as he
looked at the youth’s dazzling eyes.

The confidence and drive that the latter possessed made him a little astonished.

The courage of this youth doesn’t seem that bad. “Looks like you don’t seem to
agree with me.

Since that’s the case, I will not speak any further and only time will tell if Luo
Li’s choice was an ordinary rock or a dazzling diamond.

I believe there will be an answer to that in the future. ” Luo Tianshen didn’t
speak any further as he understood the drive of the youth.

He had seen many geniuses all these years, but in the end, most of them died
young. When this youth that stood before him suffered the harsh reality, only then
will he understand the distance between him and Luo Li. At that time, perhaps Luo
Li could still persevere, and he might have quietly given up. Luo Tianshen’s voice
paused as he pondered for a brief moment and spoke, “Perhaps Luo Li has never told
you this matter, and she should be against me telling you this, but I still have to
let you know about it. ”“Battle Emperor of the West Heaven Realm… I believe you
have heard of his name and you understand what that implies.

After all, he is a great figure in the Great Thousand World.

He once wanted Luo Li to enter the Great West Heaven, and in that way, the Luo God
Clan will be protected by the West Heaven Battle Emperor.

At that time, all the danger of the Luo God Clan will be resolved.

However, Luo Li rejected him…”Mu Chen’s pupils slightly narrowed.

The West Heaven Battle Emperor, a fearsome existence whose name was on par with
the Flame Emperor of the Endless Fire Territory and Martial Ancestor of the Martial
Realm. Compared to that level, the current him was still too far away. Mu Chen’s
face finally turned heavier as he inhaled a deep breath of air, his black pupils
were staring at Luo Tianshen closely with a deep and hoarse voice, “Patriarch Luo,
you have taken Luo Li from me today, and in the future, I will definitely take her
back from you.

At that time, no one can obstruct me, no matter who he is. ”His eyes were
flickering with scarlet-red as if he was a madman. At that time, whether it was Luo
Qingya, Luo Xiu or that West Heaven Battle Emperor, he would fear none of them!

Chapter 639 - Separation No matter how the wind blew or how the clouds moved, the
tensed atmosphere in this region couldn’t be dismissed. Luo Tianshen’s brows were
slightly knitted as he looked at the youth before him.

The latter’s scarlet eyes were a little scary with strong will and madness that
made him feel a little shocked. The youth seemed to have a strong self-confidence
furthermore, that confidence of his wasn’t blind.

It was a confidence that originated from his bones or blood. At this moment, Luo
Tianshen finally understood why his lovely and outstanding granddaughter would fall
for the youth before him. Compared to other youths, he did seem a little different
in comparison. But even so, Luo Tianshen only dismissed Mu Chen’s words with a
laugh as he shook his head.

A faint smile appeared on his stern and aged face as he spoke, “Your first
impression to me doesn’t seem too bad.

But in the future, I am not looking for an eloquent mouth.

Luo Li is my granddaughter, and as long as I am still alive, I will not let anyone
bully her.

If you want to take her away from me, then you have to use your actions to speak
the next time. ”“Furthermore, Luo Li can’t be waiting for you for the rest of her
life.

Thus, if you feel that you can no longer catch up to her, then give up.

It will be a good thing for both you and her. ”Mu Chen smiled.

“Then, I’ll have to ask Patriarch Luo to take good care of her.

I believe that there will be a day when you will change your judgement of me.
”“Let’s hope that’s the case, I am expecting for us to meet again. ”Luo Tianshen
faintly smiled and did not speak anymore.

He waved his hand towards Mu Chen as he flew up in the sky with a turn of his
body. This youth was more stubborn than he had imagined.

It looked like it wouldn’t be possible for him to convince that youth.

But that didn’t matter.

Time would tell.

Time would gradually let him know the gap between him and Luo Li.

At that time, he wouldn’t be able to maintain the stubbornness he displayed today.

Mu Chen looked at Luo Tianshen’s silhouette and couldn’t stop clenching his fist as
he took a breath in.

In this short conversation, he felt the vast pressure coming from Luo Tianshen.

The latter did not use any harsh words to ridicule him, but he could feel the
distance emitted from the latter. Clearly, he didn’t believe that Mu Chen could
reach the height that he would have to view him with importance. However, Mu Chen
did not hold any resentment or indignation.

After all, with Luo Tianshen’s eyesight, he had seen too many geniuses, and no
matter how firm Mu Chen’s speech was, it was impossible for him to shake Luo
Tianshen’s thoughts. In the distant sky, there was a little anger in Luo Li’s gaze
as she looked at the approaching Luo Tianshen.

Her voice had also turned much colder as she said, “What did you tell him?”“Why?
You’re afraid of me threatening him? If a threat could make him give up, then I
would have to doubt the eyesight of my granddaughter. ” Luo Tianshen smiled.

“I promised you that I would begin accepting the inheritance of the Luo God Clan
and take over it.

I will endure it no matter how hard it will be. ”Luo Li’s gaze dropped down as she
continued with a soft voice, “However, I do not wish for you to interrupt his
decision.

He is the first man that I have fallen for and will be the last.

Even if he doesn’t have any achievements in the future, at the very least…”She
raised her head as she looked at Luo Tianshen.

A brilliance abruptly shone from her crystal-clear pupils as she carried a trace of
majestic presence belonging to an Empress, “There’s still me!”Luo Qingya and Luo
Xiu, who stood behind Luo Li, had their eyes flickered at this instant as they
exchanged a look.

Their gazes were a little complicated as they looked at the silhouette of the youth
that was far away. Looking at the resolution in Luo Li’s eyes, Luo Tianshen had
also fallen silent, since he had underestimated the relationship between Luo Li and
Mu Chen. After pondering for a long while, Luo Tianshen finally spoke with a bitter
smile, “What’s so good about that kid to make you so protective of him?”“If it
weren’t for him, I wouldn’t have the courage to carry the responsibility of the Luo
God Clan. ” Luo Li spoke in a soft voice. “Seems like I have to thank him based on
that. ”Luo Tianshen smiled as he strode forth and lightly patted the girl’s
shoulder.

“I am not against the relationship between you and him.

But sometimes, a man doesn’t need to be protected.

Furthermore, I could tell that although that brat looks gentle and warm on the
surface, he’s quite prideful in his bones.

I want to see if he can seize my granddaughter from my hands one day. ”“I believe
that grandfather will lose. ” Luo Li chuckled. “We’ll see. ” Luo Tianshen wasn’t
bothered by her words as he continued, “Shall we go now?”Luo Li took a glance at
the silhouette in the distance.

Her eyes grew red again as she bit on her lips and nodded her head with resolution.

Her hand lightly pulled on the feather of the Lightning Eater Crane.

The crane issued a loud cry, flapping its wings and rapidly dashed into the spatial
vortex. Looking at Luo Li’s departure, Mu Chen suddenly inhaled a mouthful of air
and roared, “Luo Li, wait for me.

I will definitely become that supreme expert and find you, trashing all those
bastards that dare to bully you!”His voice was enveloped under vast Spiritual
Energy as it resonated between the heavens and earth, leaving every single student
in the Northern Heavens Spiritual Academy dumbfounded. “That kid…” the Northern Sea
Dragon and Dean Tai Cang was also stunned as they uncontrollably laughed shortly
after, their eyes filled with praising gazes. “Pfffft. ”Luo Li, who was about to
enter the vortex, laughed, except her eyes were still red as she covered her mouth.

She nodded her head with strength, but she did not look back as she entered into
the spatial vortex and disappeared. Behind her, the lightning crane army followed
closely behind. Luo Tianshen was the last to enter, he first cast a strange glance
at Mu Chen with an unnoticeable smile on his stern aged face.

However, he still let out a cold snort towards Mu Chen in the end.

He then cupped his hands towards the Northern Sea Dragon and Dean Tai Cang before
walking into the spatial vortex. Creak! Creak!The spatial vortex slowly spun and
shrunk, bit by bit, as it disappeared, restoring the sky to how it was before. As
they left, the pressure that engulfed the entire Northern Heavens Spiritual Academy
gradually faded, allowing innumerable students to feel relieved in their hearts as
they wiped their cold sweats. Mu Chen still stood on the spot, but no one dared to
bother him.

Ye Qingling and the rest lightly sighed as they dispersed everyone so that no one
disturbed Mu Chen. Mu Chen stood still for half an hour before slowly sitting down
on the towering stone and laid down with his arms apart and slowly shut his eyes.
Ling Xi quietly appeared behind Mu Chen as she cast a glance at him and did not
speak to disturb him. From the sky, the Nine Netherworld Bird descended as she
formed into a slender and graceful humanoid figure.

Seeing Mu Chen’s current state, she knitted her brows as she said, “You wouldn’t be
dejected just by this, right? If so, then you’re too much of a disappointment. ”“If
this is how far you understood him, then the Bloodlink Bond between the two of you
is too useless. ” Ling Xi faintly said as she cast a glance at Nine Nether. “Oh?”
Nine Nether’s brows raised as she turned her head towards the beauty who was a
little cold and donned in a white dress.

She lightly smiled, but that smile of hers was a little cold and dangerous, “Looks
like you have complaints about our Bloodlink Bond?”“If I have the ability, I will
definitely dissolve it.

I don’t want Mu Chen to be implicated because of it,” said Ling Xi. “Dissolve the
Bloodlink Bond? You’re overestimating yourself. ” Nine Nether spoke as she cast her
lips to the side. “Then, do you want me to try?” Ling Xi spoke in a cold voice.
“You can give it a try!”The two girls stared at each other without giving way.

This was the first time that the both of them have met, but there was already the
smell of gunpowder between them as they entered a state of mutual hostility.
“Enough!”However, just when they showed signs of moving from verbal fights to
physical fights, a bark resounded as Mu Chen abruptly opened his eyes and stared at
them in an imposing manner. However, that dignified manner of his was useless to
the two girls before him. “Little brat, you’re pretty impressive, right?” Ning
Nether walked with her long slender legs towards Mu Chen, carrying a dangerous
smile on her face as she clenched her fist, emitting crackling noise. Ling Xi was
also looking at Mu Chen with stars flickering on her fingers. “Uh… the both of you
can continue. ” Mu Chen climbed up as he dryly laughed.

A wise man knows better than to fight when the odds were against him.

Any of the two girls before him could easily crush him. Seeing Mu Chen’s reactions,
the corner of Nine Nether and Ling Xi’s lips rose.

However, when they looked at each other, they issued a cold snort as they did not
find each other to their liking. “You’re okay now?” Nine Nether enquired. “I’m not
that weak. ” Mu Chen smiled as he raised his head, looking at the location in which
the vortex disappeared as a smile rose up on his handsome face. “I am looking
forward to the day I go to the Luo God Clan, and I will do my best for that day.
”“No one can obstruct me!”Looking at the usual confident smile on Mu Chen’s face,
Nine Nether and Ling Xi felt relieved and were somewhat gratified. Mu Chen
stretched his waist.

It seems like he wouldn't be staying in the Northern Heavens Spiritual Academy for
too long, but before that… he had to make the necessary breakthrough. Only upon
reaching the Sovereign Realm, can he have the qualification to graduate from the
Northern Heavens Spiritual Academy!

Chapter 640 - Primal Celestial Bodies At the back mountains of the Northern Heavens
Spiritual Academy. It was a region enveloped by dense spiritual mist as boundless
Spiritual Energy whistled in this region.

Vaguely, there were also sounds of waves. Mu Chen stood on a lush green mountain
peak with a lotus stone platform.

This was the only Rank 8 Spirit Convergence Array that’s connected to the Northern
Heavens Spiritual Academy, also the only place with the most converged Spiritual
Energy. Generally speaking, this place wasn’t opened for students, but speaking
from a certain extent, Mu Chen had already far surpassed Third Grade Spirit
Disaster and was half a step into the Sovereign Realm, possessing a strength that
ordinary students could not be compared to. In addition to him seizing the
Championship of the Great Spiritual Academy Tournament for the academy, Mu Chen’s
status in the academy had reached an unprecedented height.

Generally, as long as it wasn’t an unreasonable request, the academy would help

fulfil his request. Thus, the one and only Rank 8 Spirit Convergence Array being
opened for him was reasonable. Mu Chen inhaled a mouthful of air as the vast
Spiritual Energy in this region seeped into his body, giving him a relaxed
sensation as he sat down.

A dark light flew out from his body, transforming into a figure beside him. “You
have already established your Sovereign Sea, except that it’s empty at the moment,
and lacking Spiritual Energy.

Thus, it is only a decoration right now. ” Nine Nether spoke as she glanced at Mu
Chen. Mu Chen nodded his head, during his battle with Ji Xuan, the reason why he
could utilise such vast energy was because he had borrowed the power of the Great
Meru Demonic Pillar to fill up his Sovereign Sea.

Even if he were to pour in the Spiritual Energy in his body into the Sovereign Sea,
it would only be a strand of hair on nine oxen. Now that the energy from the Great
Meru Demonic Pillar had faded away, his Sovereign Sea was empty.

Right now, what he had to do was gather Spiritual Energy and fill up his Sovereign
Sea.

Only then, could he be considered as having genuinely stepped into the Sovereign
Realm. Nine Nether sat down beside Mu Chen as she slightly curled her long slender
legs.

Her sharp chin was on her knees as she looked at Mu Chen and softly muttered,
“What’s your plan after you break through to the Sovereign Realm? I think that the
Northern Heavens Spiritual Academy wouldn’t have much help to the current you.

Harshly speaking, if you stay here, I’m afraid that you will never have the
qualification to go to the Luo God Clan. ”Mu Chen lightly nodded his head, he
naturally knew about that.

If he wanted to grow stronger, he couldn’t remain in the Northern Heavens Spiritual

Academy forever. “We are connected through the Bloodlink Bond, and you should know
some of my secrets… taking that for example. ” Mu Chen grasped his hand as the
mysterious black paper appeared in his hand.

Looking at that page of black paper, Nine Nether couldn’t help tensing her body.

Back then, she had suffered a lot from that black paper. “Have you heard of the
“Primordial Immortal Body?” Mu Chen’s gaze was blazing with heat as he lightly
smiled, while looking at the Immortal Page. Primordial Immortal Body. When those
words came out, Nine Nether abruptly raised her head as a smear of shock flashed
through her eyes.

It took her a brief moment before she could calm her heart as she said, “You’re
saying the rank 4 of the 99 Ranks of Sovereign Celestial Bodies, the Primordial
Immortal Body?!”Mu Chen lightly nodded his head.

Although this was a huge secret, he absolutely believed in Nine Nether.

After all, their lives were linked together. “If I can obtain it and successfully
cultivate it, do you think… that I can become a supreme expert?” Mu Chen spoke in a
soft voice. “How is that possible?!” Nine Nether blurt out. “No possible?” Mu Chen
was stunned. “That’s not it… I’m saying how is it possible for you to cultivate the
Primordial Immortal Body…?” Nine Nether immediately curiously shook her head as she
looked at Mu Chen, before she continued speaking, “Do you even know what the
Primordial Immortal Body represents?”At this moment, it was Mu Chen that was
curious.

He only knew that the Primordial Immortal Body was Rank 4

thus, it should be a powerful one.

However, he didn’t have any further pieces of information about it. “The
Primordial Immortal Body is rank 4 in the 99 Ranks of Sovereign Celestial Bodies,
but you are unaware that it is one of the Ten Primal Celestial Bodies in the
ancient times. ” Nine Nether spoke slowly. “Ten Primal Celestial Bodies?” Mu Chen
was stunned as he wondered what that was about. “The Ten Primal Celestial Bodies
are the strongest Sovereign Celestial Bodies in this world, every single one of
them is extremely overbearing and powerful, far surpassing your imagination.

In the foreign invasion in the ancient times, the Great Thousand World was
initially on the losing streak with many lower planes being seized by those
invaders.

It wasn't until the appearance of the ten supreme experts that had cultivated in
the Ten Primal Celestial Bodies arrived
thus, the losing situation was under control.

However, during that tribulation, those ten supreme experts all fell with five of
the Primal Celestial Bodies destroyed, even the cultivation methods for them have
disappeared.

Hence, only five of the Primal Celestial Bodies were left behind, they were in the
top five of the rankings in the 99 Ranks of Sovereign Celestial Bodies.

But even so, it hadn’t heard about anyone successfully possessing them, so the
rankings of the top 5 Sovereign Celestial Body are just in the legends. ”“And you
are saying that the Primordial Immortal Body is one of them?”Mu Chen was
dumbfounded, he never imagined that the origin of the Primordial Immortal Body
would be so big. “If you can successfully cultivate the Primordial Immortal Body,
then congratulations, I’m afraid that you are amongst the rankings of supreme
experts in the Great Thousand World. ”Nine Nether suddenly looked at Mu Chen in
curiosity as she said, “But why are you so confident in obtaining the cultivation
method of the Primordial Immortal Body?”Mu Chen smiled as he raised the mysterious
black paper in his hand as he said, “Do you know of the Immortal Catalog in
legends?”“The Immemorial Divine Sculpture, Immortal Catalog?” Nine Nether’s mouth
widened as she said in astonishment. Mu Chen was a little surprised that Nine
Nether knew so much, but thinking about her background, he was relieved.

The Nine Nether Bird Clan was a clan that possessed a deep foundation
thus, they should have quite a bit of ancient books as well.

Therefore, it was natural for Nine Nether to know the secrets of the old times.
“This black paper is an Immortal Page, a part of the Immortal Catalog.

Judging from the information I currently have, the current Immortal Catalog is
separated into three pages.

If I can obtain the remaining two pages, I will be able to obtain the real
Primordial Immortal Body. ” Mu Chen said in a soft tone. Nine Nether was a little
stunned by the mysterious black piece of paper in Mu Chen’s hand and only after a
long while, did she inhale a deep breath and suppressed the shock in her heart.

She looked at Mu Chen with a complicated gaze.

She never imagined that Mu Chen would have such a treasure in his possession.
“You… your luck is simply too good!” Nine Nether could only sigh as she continued
with jealousy, “If there’s a day when you can gather the other two Immortal Catalog
pages and successfully cultivate the Primordial Immortal Body, not to mention that
old man, even a Heavenly Sovereign can’t do anything to you. ”Mu Chen chuckled as
he responded in a little distress, “But the world is so vast, it’s simply
impossible to find the other two pages of the Immortal Catalog. ”Nine Nether also
fell into her thoughts as she pondered for a brief moment, before she answered, “I
have a suggestion. ”“Hmm?” Mu Chen’s eyes lit up from her reply. “Don’t the Five
Great Academies have a special Divine Artifact… one that can pierce through all
obstacles and detect everything in this world? Who knows, it might be able to tell
the location of the Immortal Catalog. ”“The Mirror of Judgement?!” Mu Chen’s eyes
grew brighter as a surge of excitement rose in his heart.

Although he didn’t know what the results would be, it was undoubtedly a feasible
method to try. As for using the Mirror of Judgement, perhaps he could only seek the
help of Dean Tai Cang at that time. “But, right now, I still have to advise you to
keep that thought of yours to yourself.

With the current you, even if you can obtain the Immortal Catalog, it will only
spell disaster for you. ” Nine Nether said with a faint voice. Mu Chen smiled and
did not refute her.

If he had obtained the Immortal Catalog right now, he wouldn’t even be able to
protect it.

However, he didn’t have the thoughts of getting it in a short time.

After all, just the Great Solar Undying Body recorded in this page of the Immortal
Catalog was something that he could only stare at with insufficient materials.
Right now, he could only decide on it after reaching the Sovereign Realm. Mu Chen
inhaled a mouthful of air as he suppressed the tidal waves in his heart, gradually
calming it.

With a flip of his hand, he stored the page of the Immortal Catalog into his body.
“I need your help guarding me. ”Mu Chen spoke with a soft voice as he formed
cultivation seals with his hand and gradually shut his eyes. As Mu Chen shut his
eyes, the dense spiritual mist in the surroundings was riled up in an instant,
gushing in his direction at an astonishing speed and endlessly poured into Mu
Chen’s body. Mu Chen’s mind had also sunk into his body.

The waves of Spiritual Energy that were whistling over were incomparable to the
past
thus, it only took half an hour before the aurasea in his body to be filled with
boundless Spiritual Energy. Piercing pain came, but Mu Chen showed no signs of
stopping.

His mind willed it as the speed of the Spiritual Energy being suck into his body
became even more violent. With the gushing of Spiritual Energy, his aurasea swiftly
reached the limits. Mu Chen’s face was also exceptionally grave at this moment,
since he knew that the next step was extremely crucial.

Only by shattering his aurasea, could he replace it with the Sovereign Sea.
However, if this step failed, then the outcome would be very dangerous. “Shatter,
my path of a Sovereign will begin here!”Mu Chen abruptly opened his eyes, his gaze
was sharp as he inhaled.

In an instant, the Spiritual Energy turned into a mighty current as it charged

into his body, into his aurasea that had reached its limits. The Spiritual Energy
in his aurasea shattered due to the compression. His aurasea shattered in an
instant!

Chapter 641 - Breakthrough to Sovereign Boom!At that instant, when his aurasea
exploded, Mu Chen’s figure seemed like it was struck by lightning.

His body was trembling at a small frequency as cold sweat appeared on his forehead,
dripping down along his face. The indescribable pain that spread throughout his
body nearly seized Mu Chen’s conscious. But, fortunately, Mu Chen had already
expected it, and right on the spot, he inhaled a mouthful of air and stabilised his
mind.

He had started to feel that along with the explosion of his aurasea, the vast
Spiritual Energy that was initially stored in his aurasea was similar wild horses
that had broken free from their restraints as it violently rushed out. Without the
restraint of the aurasea, the Spiritual Energy that Mu Chen had cultivated himself
was breaking free from his control. Spiritual Energy wreaked havoc, and if he was
unable to restrain it, then the meridians in his body would be broken by it and
would cause a severe consequence. That was a situation that Mu Chen was unwilling
to see happen. “Come back!”A bark rang out from Mu Chen’s heart and at the location
which his aurasea exploded, there was suddenly a dot of faint flickering light.

That dot of light was so small to the point that it could be disregarded.

However, it was that dot that had unleashed a dominant suction force. Whoosh!
Whoosh!That suction force spread out and instantly covered every single corner in
Mu Chen’s body. The Spiritual Energy that was wreaking havoc in his body slowed
down in an instant as it swiftly flew in the direction of the dot of light. Tsk.

Tsk. That dot of light was the Sovereign Sea that Mu Chen had established back
then.

It was faintly flickering with light as it welcomed all the approaching Spiritual
Energy.
It was like an abyss as it devoured all the Spiritual Energy. It took an hour for
the Spiritual Energy devastating Mu Chen’s body to disappear, and the dot of light,
which represented his Sovereign Sea, hovered in his body.

Compared to before, it was even more radiant at this moment. Mu Chen’s

consciousness dived into the Sovereign Sea, and in an instant, what displayed
before him was an endless ocean with Spiritual Energy rolling in that ocean.

However, the amount paled in comparison to the energy from the Great Meru Demonic
Pillar. Mu Chen’s shut eyes abruptly opened at this instant. Nine Nether, who was
seated beside him, was relieved of a breath upon seeing his situation and knew that
Mu Chen had successfully shattered his aurasea.

Now that the Sovereign Sea had successfully replaced the aurasea, what he needed to
do next was to fill it up with Spiritual Energy. This step required a considerable
amount of time as it was the most crucial part of entering the Sovereign Realm from
Third Grade Spirit Disaster.

Only when the Sovereign Sea reached the perfect state, can one have sufficient
foundation to cultivate a Sovereign Celestial Body.

“If you can refine and absorb the Sovereign Elixir that you have obtained from the
Great Spiritual Academy Tournament, you should be able to ascend to the true
Sovereign Realm.

Furthermore, it will save you a lot of time as well,” said Nine Nether. Hearing her
words, Mu Chen hesitated for a brief moment and shook his head.

“I plan to depend on myself to cultivate the Sovereign Sea to a perfect state.

”Nine Nether was stunned as she frowned her brows.

“You do not intend to refine the Sovereign Elixir or the Sovereign Spiritual
Liquid? I’m afraid it will take you a long time this way. ”Filling up the Sovereign
Sea required a vast amount of Spiritual Energy.

If one depended on himself to cultivate, it might take quite a while.

Thus, most people had already prepared Sovereign Spiritual Liquids beforehand to
speed up this process. “I have lots of time, the Sovereign Sea is the foundation of
the Sovereign Realm.

Thus, I feel that it will be more perfect if I rely on myself to cultivate it. ” Mu
Chen smiled. Nine Nether did not refute Mu Chen’s words.

She cast an unusual glance at Mu Chen, and smiled.

“I can tell you still have this sort of opinion. ”In her tone, there was a little
praise in it, which was rare since she understood that the choice Mu Chen made was
indeed astonishing.

When many people break through to the Sovereign Realm, they would be impatient to
refine Sovereign Spiritual Liquid to complete this step and experience the strength
of a Sovereign.

Although there weren’t many side effects, the concentration of that strength would
definitely be inferior to the Spiritual Energy they cultivated themselves. Since
the Sovereign Sea was the foundation of Sovereigns, the importance of it was
unimaginable.
So Mu Chen temporarily giving up the temptation of strength and choosing the most
primal method was the most stable method and extremely hard. “It’s because my
ambitions are big. ” Mu Chen raised his head as he looked into the sky, which was
covered by spiritual mist. “I know, supreme experts…” Nine Nether’s lips rose as
she looked at the youth before her.

“But, this is not an easy path to walk.

The number of geniuses in the Great Thousand World far exceed your expectations,
and once you enter into the Great Thousand World, you will naturally realise this.
”“No matter how hard this path is, I still have to walk down it. ”Mu Chen revealed
a brilliant smile to Nine Nether.

“This is a promise that a guy has made to the girl he loves. ”Looking at his smile,
Nine Nether was slightly stunned, before smiling.

Compared to the past, this youth before her seemed to have matured a lot. “I’ll
have to trouble you for the next period of time. ”Mu Chen showed a smile towards
Nine Nether and shut his eyes, entering into a cultivating state without waiting
for her reply. “Damn it, you’re really treating me like your bodyguard!” Nine
Nether clenched her teeth as she waved her fist at Mu Chen.

However, she could only glare at him with hatred and sat down next to him. As Mu
Chen submerged into his cultivating state, a dominant suction force swiftly surged
from his body.

In an instant, it caused the dense spiritual mist in this region to start boiling
and whistle down.

It was like a gale that enveloped him. Boundless Spiritual Energy was continuously
pouring into Mu Chen’s body, and after refining it, it was endlessly devoured into
his Sovereign Sea.

Facing such a long-lasting pouring, the Sovereign Sea was like an abyss as it
swallowed all of it up…However, Mu Chen understood at this instant why Nine Nether
would say that it would take a long time to fill up his Sovereign Sea to the
perfect state. He realised that after cultivating for an entire day, there wasn’t
an increase in his Sovereign Sea.

Clearly, the amount of Spiritual Energy refined in this day was comparable to a
hair on nine oxen to his Sovereign Sea. According to this speed, it would take at
least three months for him to fill up his Sovereign Sea. “This refining speed is
too slow. ”Mu Chen muttered in his heart as he sunk into his thoughts.

After a long while, he abruptly changed his hand seals. Mu Chen, who was seated on
the lotus platform, already had his entire body enveloped in dense spiritual mist
as it gathered into a high current that was pouring into him. At this instant, the
Spiritual Energy between the heavens and earth suddenly started to violently
fluctuate.

Nine Nether, who wasn’t far away, had also sensed it as she hastily raised her head
and focused her gaze. A large black pagoda suddenly formed outside of Mu Chen’s
body.

The instant the pagoda appeared, it exploded forth with dreadful suction force,
causing the spiritual mist within a myriad foot radius to gather together.

Looking from afar, it looked like several dragons made of mist as those dragons
dived into the pagoda. Roar!Along with the mist dragons pouring in, golden dragons
seemed to have come to life on the surface of the black pagoda, issuing dragon
roars as they turned into golden flames and entered the pagoda. Tsk! Tsk!The
endless mist dragons were rapidly being evaporated the moment they came in contact
with the golden flames.

They turned into fine drops of rain that fell and entered l Mu Chen’s body, which
was within the pagoda. Those fine drops of rain were incomparable to Sovereign
Spiritual Liquid, but they still contained extremely refined Spiritual Energy.

Thus, it was purer and much easier to absorb. “What overbearing flames. ”A trace of
astonishment surfaced on Nine Nether’s face as she looked at the golden flames.

She was a flame expert herself.

In the past, she had the Nine Nether Flames, and right now, she possessed the
powerful Undying Flames.

However, the golden flames before her eyes didn’t seem to be any ordinary flames.
After utilising the Nine-layered Pagoda, Mu Chen’s refining speed soared at a
fearsome pace.

The intense fluctuations of Spiritual Energy could even be felt by some Elders in
the Northern Heavens Spiritual Academy. During the next period of time, Mu Chen had
submerged into a cultivating state and it was nearly his instinct to refine and
absorb Spiritual Energy.

Any disruptions from the outside world were blocked out by him. The entire process
lasted for a whole month. In this month, he had not stopped to rest.

The commotions caused by refining and absorbing the Spiritual Energy was getting
bigger and bigger.

At the end, not only was it the Elders of the academy, every student could sense
the intense fluctuations of Spiritual Energy coming from the back mountains. But,
fortunately, Dean Tai Cang had already issued an order, so they knew that Mu Chen
was cultivating in the back mountains.

Thus, no one went over in fear to disrupt him. The month swiftly went past. A month
later, in the back mountains. Nine Nether, who had her eyes shut, suddenly opened
them and looked at the cultivating platform.

She saw the black Nine-layered Pagoda suddenly fluctuate as it faded away, bit by
bit. As the black pagoda disappeared, a figure appeared seated on the sky. Within a
hundred foot radius of that figure was emptiness, as if there was a formless
shield, not even the Spiritual Energy between the heavens and earth could enter it.
He was quietly seated on the air, there weren’t any fluctuations around him, but
vaguely, there was an indescribable pressure being emitted from him. The eyes of Mu
Chen, who had been like a stone with his eyes shut for the entire month, had slowly
opened his eyes. Boom!Light flowed through his black pupils that caused the space
before him to distort.

His figure moved, and in an instant, he had mysteriously appeared in the air.

He slowly opened both of his arms as he suddenly roared towards the sky!Boom!His
roar was like thunder as a Spiritual Energy light pillar that was a few thousand
feet soared from his body.

That light pillar linked the heavens and earth as it emitted a formless pressure.
Within the Northern Heavens Spiritual Academy, countless students were looking at
that large light pillar in shock.

Coming from that light pillar, they felt a familiar pressure…It was a pressure that
belonged to Sovereign Realm experts!At this moment, Mu Chen had finally
successfully stepped into the Sovereign Realm!

Chapter 642 - Borrowing Mirror The large pillar of light soared into the sky and
could be clearly seen from anywhere around a hundred miles.

When everyone felt it, there was a dreadful pressure coming from that pillar of
light.

That pressure wasn’t unfamiliar to them, they had sensed it from those Sovereign
Realm Elders in the academy. Evidently, the person within that pillar of light had
successfully broken through to the Sovereign Realm. On a particular peak in the
Northern Heavens Spiritual Academy, Shen Cangsheng and Li Xuantong raised their
heads as they looked at the direction of the light pillar with complicated gazes.
“That fellow is truly a monster. ” Shen Cangsheng bitterly smiled.

There was a hint of admiration in his eyes, along with unwillingness.

Back then, when he met Mu Chen, the latter was still being chased after by Mo
Xingtian.

But in just three years, that youth had already far surpassed him, taking the lead
and stepping into the Sovereign Realm. Li Xuantong nodded his head in agreement,
his thoughts were deeper than Shen Cangsheng’s.

After all, Mu Chen was just someone that had managed to take three of his moves
with all his strength and felt that Mu Chen was only ordinary back then and wasn’t
a fitting match for the outstanding Luo Li. However, in less than merely three
years, he witnessed how Mu Chen soared and dazzled.

Right now, Li Xuantong had no choice but to admit that Luo Li’s eyesight truly was
good.

Although when Luo Li left, and Luo Tiansheng wasn’t entirely satisfied with Mu
Chen, Li Xuantong, who had witnessed Mu Chen’s growth, knew that there would be a
day when Luo Tianshen will change his opinion of Mu Chen, just like how he did.
That was the youth that could always produce stunning miracles. “I’m afraid that Mu
Chen won’t be staying long in the Northern Heavens Spiritual Academy. ” Shen
Cangsheng suddenly said with reluctance in his tone.

After spending so much time, he had a favourable impression of Mu Chen. “What about
you?” Li Xuantong looked at Shen Cangsheng, he knew that this man before him was
filled with pride down to his bones.

It was impossible for him to stay in the Northern Heavens Spiritual Academy
forever. “I will begin my secluded cultivation, in an attempt to break through to
the Sovereign Realm shortly.

At that time, I will roam around the Great Thousand World.

Haha, who knows, I might be able to encounter Mu Chen at that time.

If there’s a chance, I will definitely have a spar with him to determine who will
be stronger at that time. ” Shen Cangsheng smiled with blazing fighting intent and
expectation in his eyes. “Let’s go at that time, I might be faster than you in
entering the Sovereign Realm. ” Li Xuantong spoke with a smear of a smile on his
face. “Haha, it’s not that easy for you to surpass me! do you think you’re Mu
Chen?” Shen Cangsheng laughed. “Then, we’ll wait and see. ” Li Xuantong smiled.

His gaze was gentle.

He had treated Shen Cangsheng as an opponent that could be comparable to himself

and saw how lacking he was.

As for Mu Chen, that fellow was simply a monster, so he had excluded him, since Li
Xuantong didn’t wish to have his self-confidence shattered every single time.

…In the Main Hall of the Northern Heavens Spiritual Academy, the Northern Sea
Dragon, Dean Tai Cang, Mo Yu and the rest raised their heads as they looked at that
massive pillar of light with gratification in their eyes.

The achievements that Mu Chen obtained in these two to three years were extremely
rare, even in the history of their Northern Heavens Spiritual Academy. “That kid is
truly formidable.

How good would it be if he stayed in our Northern Heavens Spiritual Academy

forever?” Hallmaster Mo Yu couldn’t help sighing. “Being short-sighted will break
the future of another. ” Northern Sea Dragon bluntly scolded with a black face to
Hallmaster Mo Yu’s sigh. Being scolded, Hallmaster Mo Yu wore a dejected expression
as he said in awkwardness, “I’m just casually saying. ”Dean Tai Cang couldn’t
refrain from smiling from that scene, his eyes were a little abstruse as he said,
“Mu Chen’s potential is very high, and it’s impossible for our academy to fully
develop his potential.

Only the vast Great Thousand World can be a stage for him. ”“Therefore, even if his
strength could rise while staying in our Northern Heavens Spiritual Academy, it is
impossible for him to become a true supreme expert.

Mo Yu, do you believe that the next time Mu Chen returns to our Northern Heavens
Spiritual Academy, not to mention about us, even Brother Northern Sea could not be
compared to him?”Mo Yu’s expression was shaken as he had never expected such a high
praise from Dean Tai Cang to Mu Chen. Northern Sea Dragon stroke his beard with a
calm expression on his aged face.

Unexpectedly, he did not refute Dean Tai Cang’s words as he knew that Dean Tai
Cang’s words weren’t impossible.

That youth… did possess a terrifying potential.

The crucial point was that he had a firm heart to walk the path of supreme experts.
Unswerving determination, stubbornness and a firm heart. For real supreme experts,
talents were secondary, and the crucial one was a heart of an expert. Thus, the
future of that youth would definitely not be ordinary. …“Big Sister Ling Xi, has
Big Brother Mu Chen successfully made his breakthrough?” In the serene courtyard,
Sun’er covered the dazzling light before her with her tiny hands as she looked at
the sizable pillar of light in the distant sky. “He should have. ”Ling Xi sat
before the bamboo house as a stunning arc was outlined by her white dress from her
seiza posture.

However, there weren’t any guys to feast on such a scene.

Ling Xi held onto a jade pot as she poured a drink for herself.

She casually cast her glance at the sizable light pillar and indifferently nodded
her head. “Big Sister Ling Xi, why are you not worried for Big Brother Mu Chen?”
Sun’er was a little unhappy when she saw how indifferent Ling Xi was as she pouted.
“He has a stunning beauty to protect him by his side right now, so there’s nothing
for me to worry about. ” Ling Xi said indifferently. “Ohhh~” Sun’er sat before Ling
Xi with her eyes narrowed from her smile as she dragged her tone and chuckled, “So
Big Sister Ling Xi is jealous of that beautiful big sister!”“She’s very beautiful?”
Ling Xi stared at Sun’er as a dangerous arc rose on her lips. “As beautiful as Big
Sister Ling Xi… No, I mean Big Sister Ling Xi is more beautiful!” Sun’er
accidentally blurts out, but when she saw Ling Xi slightly raising her brows, she
immediately changed her words upon sensing a bad premonition. “Hmph. ” Ling Xi
lightly snorted as she raised her cold face and stared at the light pillar made of
Spiritual Energy that stood towering between the heavens and earth, and gritted her
teeth.

Back then, when he was going into seclusion, she even took the initiative to ask if
he needed her help to protect him.

However, she was actually refused by that fellow, that’s simply detestable!Sun’er
sneaked a glance at Ling Xi and was confused in her head as well.

Although Big Sister Ling Xi was cold when she treated others, she had a good heart.

Back then, she got along with Big Sister Luo Li pretty well, so why is she so
opposed of Big Sister Nine Nether?It was said that in the Goddess Luo Association,
Big Sister Ling Xi and Big Sister Nine Nether were the most popular mature ladies…
Although she didn’t quite understand what that was about…When Sun’er’s brain was
running wild with thoughts, Ling Xi stood up as she looked at the sizable light
pillar.

In her eyes, there was a smear of gratification and pride.

He is indeed, Aunt Jing’s son, perhaps in the future, he will become as outstanding
as Aunt Jing. When that day comes, Ling Xi felt that she might even uncontrollably
fall for him. The instant she had that thought, Ling Xi’s face grew red as she
quickly dismissed that thought. …The light pillar that pierced the heavens and
earth lasted for a few minutes, before it gradually faded away.

When the light pillar faded, two light rays streaked across the horizon and
appeared in the air of the Northern Heavens Spiritual Academy in a flash. Every
single student shifted their gazes over and saw a youth standing on the air.

His appearance was still the same, even that robust Spiritual Energy fluctuation
around him had entirely dissipated.

If it wasn’t for his bearing when he stood in the air, everyone might think that he
failed his breakthrough. Nine Nether stood beside Mu Chen.

Compared to Mu Chen, she attracted even more attention.

Her slender figure was a little tall, her fair neck was as graceful as a swan, and
her exquisite collar bone drew a gentle arc.

Especially that pair of long legs of hers that pulled the souls of others.

Her slender eyes were filled with wildness that was flowing through, which made
others understand that conquering such a woman was even harder than ascending to
the sky. Mu Chen looked at the countless gazes coming from the Northern Heavens
Spiritual Academy as he faintly smiled.

He breathed out with satisfaction and slowly clenched his fist.

He could sense the volcanic surges of terrifying Spiritual Energy in his body.

The strength of that Spiritual Energy wasn’t something that could be compared with
Third Grade Spirit Disaster. Right now, with a flip of his hand, he could probably
suppress a few hundred Third Grade Spirit Disaster experts. It was a gap that could
not be filled with numbers. That power was just purely based on Spiritual Energy.

When Mu Chen had successfully cultivated a Sovereign Celestial Body in the future,
his might would be even more terrifying“What intoxicating power. ”Mu Chen was
intoxicated in the feeling for a brief moment before he recovered himself and
headed towards the Main Hall along with Nine Nether. “Haha, congratulations, Mu
Chen. ” Seeing the arrival of Mu Chen, Hallmaster Mo Yu and the rest smiled. Mu
Chen quickly cupped his hands, and his gaze hesitated for a brief moment as he
looked at Dean Tai Cang. “Speak if there’s anything you wish.

why are you so modest?” Seeing his reaction, Dean Tai Cang gently said with a light
smile. “Dean, I… want to use the Mirror of Judgement of the Five Great Academies.

I wonder if that is possible. ” Mu Chen was a little nervous as he looked at Dean

Tai Cang and cautiously spoke.

This matter was too vital for him, and if it wasn’t possible, it would indeed be
hard for him to search for the Immortal Catalog. Clearly, Mu Chen’s request had
taken Dean Tai Cang off-guard as his face gradually turned heavy with his brows
knitted together. Seeing his reaction, Mu Chen’s heart involuntarily sank.

Chapter 643 - Dispute “Borrowing the Mirror of Judgement…”Hearing Mu Chen’s request

in the Main Hall, the brows of Dean Tai Cang and the rest frowned and only after a
long time did they look and Mu Chen and said, “The Mirror of Judgement is
controlled by the Five Great Academies, it’s impossible to use it with just the
agreement of one academy.

Therefore, we would need to get a vote of all five Deans of the Five Great
Academies before using the Mirror of Judgement.

Only with at least three votes, can we use the Mirror of Judgement. ”Mu Chen
scratched his head as he bitterly smiled.

He naturally knew that it was not an easy task to use the Mirror of Judgement, but
this was his only choice to get any news of the Immortal Catalog. “Among the Five
Great Academies, the Saint Spiritual Academy will probably not agree to it, but we
can fight for the three other academies. ” Northern Sea Dragon, who had not spoken
from the beginning, opened his mouth, “I’ll make a trip to the three other
academies, I believe they will give this old man some face. ”Dean Tai Cang and the
rest were startled by his words.

The Northern Sea Dragon rarely interfered in the matters of the academy, they
couldn’t imagine that he would actually do this for Mu Chen. Mu Chen was also
stunned as he gratefully looked at Northern Sea Dragon, “Thank you, Senior Northern
Sea. ”He knew that it was a tough matter for an Earth Sovereign to come out, and
with the pride of Northern Sea Dragon, it was probably rare for him to take the
initiative to pull relations.

However, Mu Chen did not reject as he knew that with the Northern Sea Dragon’s
personality, if he were to refuse his favour, this isolated old man would
immediately not care about him.
Thus, he could only remember this favour in his heart at this moment. “If it wasn’t
for your achievements in the Great Spiritual Academy Tournament, I’m afraid that it
would be hard for the Northern Heavens Spiritual Academy to continue holding onto
the title of the Five Great Academies.

Compared to that, this is nothing for an old man like me to show my face. ”
Northern Sea Dragon looked at Mu Chen with a rare smile revealed on his lips. “I am
a member of the Northern Heavens Spiritual Academy, be it now or in the future. ”
Mu Chen lightly smiled. “Good, with those words of yours, it’s worth me pulling my
face down. ” Northern Sea Dragon revealed a gratified smile on his face as he waved
his hand at Dean Tai Cang and the rest, “I will make a trip to the three academies
now, the rest of you will remain in the Northern Heavens Spiritual Academy.

Mu Chen, wait for my news. ”As he finished speaking, Northern Sea Dragon strode
forth, space distorted before him and shortly after, a spatial crack was ripped
open as he went in and instantly disappeared. Looking at the swift and decisive
Northern Sea Dragon, Mu Chen felt grateful in his heart. “Okay, you’ll remain in
the Northern Heavens Spiritual Academy and wait for the news. ” Dean Tai Cang
patted Mu Chen’s shoulder and pondered for a brief moment before he continued
speaking, “After this matter, you intend on leaving the Northern Heavens Spiritual
Academy, right?”

Mu Chen lightly nodded his head. “That’s for the best, if you continue to remain in
the Northern Heavens Spiritual Academy, there will be a limit to your cultivation.

The Great Thousand World is more suitable for you. ”Dean Tai Cang smiled, “But
remember the words I said before, as long as you do not commit any actions that
will bring down the academy, you are always a student of our Northern Heavens
Spiritual Academy.

No matter what troubles you have incurred in the outside world, as long as you
return to the academy, our Northern Heavens Spiritual Academy will not let anyone
bully you. ”Mu Chen glanced at the gratified smile on Dean Tai Cang’s face and felt
touched in his heart.

He did not say any other words, only heavily nodded his head. This was a place that
he would always remember. Dean Tai Cang conversed with Mu Chen for another short
while, before letting him leave.

Mu Chen brought along Nine Nether as he headed towards Ling Xi’s serene courtyard.
Entering the courtyard, a girl was seated before the bamboo house as she drank some
tea.

When the latter saw Mu Chen’s arrival, she let out a faint smile, but when she saw
Nine Nether, who was behind him, her brows had undetectable risen.
“Congratulations, you have finally become a Sovereign expert. ” Ling Xi smiled. Mu
Chen smiled as well as he sat before Ling Xi.

Facing the beautiful girl before him, Mu Chen hesitated for a brief moment before
saying, “Big Sister Ling Xi, I will leave the Northern Heavens Spiritual Academy
very soon. ”The hand which Ling Xi used to pour tea trembled as she gave Mu Chen a
glance, before nodding her head. “Big Sister Ling Xi, are you coming along with
me?” Mu Chen said in a soft voice. Ling Xi remained silent for a long time before
shaking her head, “After your departure, I will also leave the Northern Heavens
Spiritual Academy.

But I will not be following you, I have other matters to attend to. ”“Other
matters?” Mu Chen was stunned.
He looked at Ling Xi, who was biting her rosy lip, as he wrinkled his brows,
“You’re going to find my mother?”Ling Xi nodded her head as her face became
slightly cold.

“My memories have been sealed for a long time.

But I can still vaguely sense come broken memories, so I intend to go search for
her by myself.

No matter what, I have to know where Aunt Jing was taken to. ”“No, it’s too
dangerous for you to go alone! If you want to go, I’ll have to go with you!” Mu
Chen’s face slightly changed as he spoke in a stern voice.

Although he had not come in contact with that mysterious clan, he could sense how
terrifying they were.

His mother’s strength was comparable to a Heavenly Sovereign, and even so, she was
confined, and Ling Xi’s strength was only equivalent to a Fourth Grade Sovereign.

If she was discovered by those people, her safety would be at stake. “Don’t speak
nonsense. ” Ling Xi gently smiled, “Aunt Jing was willing to suffer so much
yearning pain to protect you, how can I let you come with me to risk
yourself?”“Furthermore, you don’t have to worry about me, I will act accordingly
and will not be rash.

I will only be investigating in the dark, and when I have any news, I will come
look for you. ”“After all, you will be going to find Aunt Jing in the future as
well.

You can’t be in the dark about everything, right? Therefore, I will go ahead first
and see if I can find any information for you. ”Mu Chen looked at Ling Xi.

There was a rare gentleness on her face with a faint smile hanging at the corner of
her lips.

Her voice was filled with irreversible resolution. Facing Mu Chen’s gaze, Ling Xi
lightly nodded her head, implying that he should not try to persuade her any
further. After looking for a long time, Mu Chen finally gave up and spoke with his
teeth clenched, “Refine a Spirit Seal with your Spirit and give it to me.

Otherwise, I will definitely not let you go alone. ”The so-called Spirit Seal was a
small trace of Spirit that was made into a Spirit Seal.

This Spirit Seal would be linked to the owner and the instant the owner was in
danger, there would also be a reaction from the Spirit Seal as well. However, this
Spirit Seal was, after all, a strand of the Spirit.

If the Spirit Seal was destroyed, the owner of it would also suffer injuries from
it.

So, generally speaking, unless it was someone close, most people wouldn’t be
willing to give their Spirit Seals to anyone else. But clearly, Mu Chen and Ling Xi
didn’t have a normal relationship. Seeing the firmness in Mu Chen’s eyes, Ling Xi
could only agree to it as she revealed a weak smile from the corner of her lips.

“What a stubborn fellow… okay then. ”She extended her hand as light gathered on her
slender fingertips.
It flickered with golden light and gradually took the form of a palm-sized golden
seal.

The golden seal was exquisite and small, it was a small-scaled Ling Xi.

Even the cold aura that was emitted from it was similar. “Here, take it. ” Ling Xi
revealed a smile to Mu Chen as she handed over the golden seal. Receiving the
golden seal, Mu Chen curiously fiddled with it, before lightly rubbing on the small
Ling Xi’s face.

After that, he saw Ling Xi’s face turning red as she glared at him. The Spirit Seal
was linked to her Spirit, after all.

That rub and with their distance, she also felt that a little bit.

Therefore, this action from the latter was merely teasing her right before her
eyes.

If it was someone else that did such a disrespectful act, Ling Xi would have long
set up a Spiritual Array to kill him. “*cough*…” Seeing her reaction, Mu Chen dryly
coughed as he quickly stored the golden seal.

He then said with a heavy expression, “Big Sister Ling Xi, promise me that no
matter what happens, do not be rash.

I will handle that matter in the future, and at that time, whether it is mother or
Big Sister Ling Xi, I will protect the both of you. ”“Wait until you surpass your
Big Sister Ling Xi before speaking such words. ” Ling Xi smiled.

It was a smile that made even a hundred flowers pale in comparison.

However, Mu Chen’s words had also made her somewhat happy in her heart. “Right,
even though you are a Sovereign now, you can’t abandon your cultivation in the ways
of Spiritual Arrays.

With your talent, you will probably soon come in contact with the profundity of
Spiritual Array Grandmaster.

This will also be a powerful card of yours.

The danger filled in the Great Thousand World is something that the Northern
Heavens Spiritual Academy cannot be compared to.

So it’s still good to have an additional card. ” Ling Xi warned with a stern
expression as she looked at Mu Chen. Mu Chen could only smile as he felt the warmth
when Ling Xi suddenly became naggy. “Also…”Ling Xi’s gaze suddenly glanced at Nine
Nether, who was indistinctly by the side.

The latter had always maintained a calm expression as she stood there and did not
come any closer, nor did she have any conversation with Ling Xi.

Mu Chen did not know why the two ladies didn’t seem to like each other too much.
“It’s not impossible to dissolve the Bloodlink Bond. ”Hearing her words, Nine
Nether’s brows raised as she coldly looked at Ling Xi. Ling Xi did not concede
facing Nine Nether’s gaze as she indifferently said, “Don’t look at me like that,
Mu Chen is young and doesn’t know anything.

Did you think that I’m unaware of anything as well?”“What are you trying to say?”
Nine Nether responded with a cold voice. “Accomplishing evolution at such an age
and possessing the undying flames, I believe that you have quite the status, even
in the Nine Nether Bird Clan, right?” Ling Xi sneered. “So what?” Nine Nether
raised her chin as she replied. “The Nine Nether Bird Clan has always been stubborn
and old-fashioned.

If you have an important place in the clan, and they were to find out that you
conducted a Bloodlink Bond with a human, how enraged will they be? At that time,
who knows, they might force Mu Chen to dissolve the Bloodlink Bond one-sidedly,
because it fits the personality of your clan
but Mu Chen will also suffer an unimaginable injury this way. ” Ling Xi coldly
looked at Nine Nether as she spoke. “No one can dissolve our Bloodlink Bond. ”Nine
Nether looked at Ling Xi as she said word for word, “No! One! Can!”The two girls
looked at each other with a cold gaze as the atmosphere nearly froze!

Chapter 644 - Searching for the Immortal Catalog The frozen atmosphere enveloped
the entire courtyard with the two ladies looking at each other with cold gazes.

The commotion spread out as it attracted violent whistling winds, causing the trees
and leaves to dance in the courtyard. Sun’er hid behind a big tree as she sneakily
looked at the confrontation between Nine Nether and Ling Xi.

She was afraid to be dragged into it. Looking at this scene, Mu Chen felt a
headache, since he didn’t understand why these two girls would fight the moment
they see each other, and with heavy gunpowder. “Anyone can speak good words.

If I find out that Mu Chen is injured by the Bloodlink Bond, I will not let you
off, even if you are from the Nine Nether Bird Clan. ” Ling Xi coldly glanced at
Nine Nether as she spoke in an icy voice. “Your tone of speech is pretty big, I
want to see what gives you the qualifications to speak such words!” Nine Nether
raised her brows as she sneered. “Really?” Ling Xi’s face was cold as starlight
flickered and gathered on her slender hand. “Hmph. ”Nine Nether coldly snorted as a
cold light flickered in her eyes, and behind her, a large shadow gradually appeared
as it covered the earth and sky. “Stop!”However, just when the two girls were about
to fight, Mu Chen finally couldn’t endure anymore and barked out in anger.

He grabbed onto Ling Xi’s hand as rage rose on his face, “Are the two of you done
messing around?!”Ling Xi and Nine Nether looked at Mu Chen.

However, the latter did not get interrupted by them as he had genuine anger on his
face.

Initially, his gentle gaze had turned abnormally strict. This was the first time
that Ling Xi and Nine Nether had seen Mu Chen being enraged.

In an instant, the atmosphere weakened as they issued as snort and retracted the
Spiritual Energy fluctuations around them. Mu Chen looked at the two girls that had
turned their heads away as he scratched his head.

“Big Sister Ling Xi, the Bloodlink Bond between Nine Nether and me was formed under
a dangerous situation.

So there’s no way to dissolve this Bloodlink Bond, nor will I do it.

After all these years, Nine Nether has helped me a lot, and if it wasn’t for her, I
wouldn’t have come this far. ”“No matter what dangers the Bloodlink Bond may bring,
I will accept it.

As long as Nine Nether doesn’t agree, then I will not let anyone dissolve the
Bloodlink Bond between us. ”Mu Chen’s voice spread out in the courtyard.
Not only was his voice heavy, but there was also an indisputable resolution in it.
The ice on Nine Nether and Ling Xi’s faces had unknowingly melted away.

The former shifted her gaze as she looked at the resolute expression on the youth’s
face, before swiftly shifting her gaze away.

Without her notice, her mood was suddenly lightened a lot. Ling Xi looked at Mu
Chen as she sighed, “Since you have already said so much, then I shouldn’t say
anything further…”

As she spoke, she suddenly smiled and looked at Mu Chen with a sly gaze, “But I
never expected small Mu Chen to assume such responsibility, how manly. ”Mu Chen
clenched his teeth as he said, “How am I small? You are only two or three years
older than me!”Ling Xi smiled without any comment, she then turned her head to Nine
Nether as her tone gradually softened, “I am not picking on you, but you should
know my worries.

If the Nine Nether Bird Clan knows about this matter, I’m afraid that they will not
let this matter rest so easily. ”“I have already grown up, not even my father and
mother could say anything about my matters.

If there are any troubles in the future, I will protect him. ” Nine Nether said
with indifference. Mu Chen couldn’t control the twitch on his lips as he
interrupted, “I am not interested in depending on a woman. ”However, Nine Nether
did not bother about his protest as she left behind a sentence for them to talk,
and walked away with her long legs and left, leaving behind a gorgeous silhouette.
“What a prideful lady.

Mu Chen, looks like it won’t be easy for you to subdue that prideful little bird. ”
Ling Xi looked at Nine Nether’s silhouette as she smiled.

Shortly after, she lazily stretched her arms as her ample curves became even more
distinct under the white dress. Mu Chen was helpless. “Stay in my place for the
next few days.

Don’t lack behind in your cultivation of Spiritual Arrays.

Before you leave, I will do my best to impart everything to you. ”“Okay. ”Mu Chen
smiled as he nodded his head. …During the next few days, Mu Chen quietly stayed in
the Northern Heavens Spiritual Academy with Ling Xi in her courtyard most of the
time as he cultivated in the ways of Spiritual Arrays.

After he finished cultivating, he would party with those of the Goddess Luo
Association.

In the past, when he was in the Northern Heavens Spiritual Academy, he spent most
of his time cultivating, and now that he is about to leave, he became reluctant to
part. He liked everyone from the Goddess Luo Association, there weren’t any schemes
or plots behind their smiles.

In this place, they could disregard their identity as they were all members of the
Northern Heavens Spiritual Academy right here. Perhaps, after entering the Great
Thousand World, it would be hard for him to see such smiles anymore.

After all, it was no longer a worry-free ivory tower. When night arrived, Mu Chen
would sit on the mountain peak by himself as he looked at the sky full of stars.

Some time ago, he would have a girl quietly accompanying him, she would rest her
head on his shoulders.

Mu Chen liked that clinging feeling he felt back then.

He had become her world, supporting her…Now that she was no longer around, he could
only reminisce about it in his heart. Mu Chen slowly laid on the grass patch as he
quietly shut his eyes, and slowly clenched his fist. Luo Li, wait for me. …When Mu
Chen quietly stayed in the Northern Heavens Spiritual Academy for roughly ten days,
he had finally waited for the return of the Northern Sea Dragon. Hearing the news
that the Northern Sea Dragon had returned, Mu Chen swiftly rushed to the Main Hall.

Upon arrival, he saw the smile hung on the Northern Sea Dragon’s face. Seeing his
smile, Mu Chen instantly felt heavily relieved. “Among the Five Great Academies,
Dean Tiansheng of the Saint Spiritual Academy did not agree, as expected
but the three other Deans agreed to it.

So that fellow can’t protest anything. ” Northern Sea Dragon looked at Mu Chen as
he spoke with an eye-narrowing smile. At this instant, even with Mu Chen’s firm
heart, there was a smear of excitement. “When do you want to use the Mirror of
Judgement?”“Can we do it now?” Mu Chen hastily enquired. “Then, let’s do it now.
”The Northern Sea Dragon wasn’t unexpected of Mu Chen’s haste as he nodded with a
smile.

Shortly after, he waved his hand and space was torn apart as he strode into it.
“Follow me. ”Mu Chen nodded his head as he immediately followed with Nine Nether
behind him. Mu Chen stepped into the spatial crack, and the scenery before him
changed in an instant.

It seemed to be a small space.

It wasn’t big, except that it was all a void.

In this small space, there was an ancient bronze mirror that had the size of
roughly a few thousand feet quietly floating before him, emitting an indescribable
fluctuation as it quietly rippled, causing the space to be constantly shaking.
There was a stone staircase in this space that extended to the Mirror of Judgement.

The Northern Sea Dragon led Mu Chen and Nine Nether to it as he passed a bronze
seal over to Mu Chen. “By using this item, you will be able to use the Mirror of
Judgement.

However, you can’t make any attacks with it as a Divine Artifact of such a level
isn’t something that the current you can use.

If you recklessly use it, it will devour you instead. ”Mu Chen grabbed the bronze
seal as he nodded his head. “I will leave first. ” The Northern Sea Dragon smiled
and with a move of his figure, he disappeared
he did not have any intentions of staying here.

Although he was curious about Mu Chen’s purpose of using the Mirror of Judgement,
he did not inquire, since everyone had their own secrets. When the Northern Sea
Dragon left, this space became quiet.

Mu Chen raised his head as he looked at the huge Mirror of Judgement, then
injected his Spiritual Energy into the bronze seal in his hand. A faint lustre shot
forth from his hand, into the dusty surface of the Mirror of Judgement. Buzz! Buzz!
Fine ripples fluctuated from the surface of the mirror, and the Mirror of Judgement
gradually became clear.
 However, the surface of the mirror was extremely abstruse, as if it was a night
sky, emitting a mysterious light from it. At the sight of this, Mu Chen deeply
inhaled a mouthful of air as he spread his arms out.

Light flickered, followed by the appearance of the Immortal Page. With a flick of
his finger, that Immortal Page flew out and hovered before the Mirror of Judgement.
Buzz! Buzz!The surface of the mirror rippled as strands of light started to
circulate.

A ray of light shot forth and enveloped the Immortal Page. Tsk! Tsk!As light
enveloped, the Mirror of Judgement suddenly violently trembled and on the surface
of the mirror, the ripples showed signs of losing control. Look at this scene, Mu
Chen and Nine Nether’s expressions became nervous.

The Immortal Catalog was indeed, terrifying.

Even one page of it could cause this Mirror of Judgement to go out of control.
Their gazes were firmly fixed on the surface of the Mirror of Judgement, and a few
minutes later, it was still pitch-black. The current situation made Mu Chen’s brows
tightly knit together. “The Immortal Catalog is so terrifying to such an extent
that even the Mirror of Judgement could not calculate its trace…” Nine Nether
sighed, it was indeed worthy of being one of the Primal Celestial Bodies of
legends. Mu Chen did not speak as he stared without blinking. Another few minutes
passed, and the disappointment in Mu Chen’s eyes gradually grew dense, and Nine
Nether patted his shoulders to comfort him. However, just when Mu Chen and Nine
Nether became thoroughly disappointed, an intense ripple came from the silent
mirror’s surface as fuzzy images started to appear on the black surface. Mu Chen
and Nine Nether’s expressions shook as ecstasy flowed from their eyes.

It has finally calculated it?

Chapter 645 - Ancient Haven Palace Ripples appeared on the surface of the ancient
bronze mirror, the initially deep blackness was quickly replaced by fuzzy images.
Mu Chen and Nine Nether directed their gazes over. What appeared on the large
bronze mirror seemed to be a continent that stretched without end.

The angle seemed to be looking from high above as it was continually rising…Mu Chen
was blankly at a loss when he looked at that unfamiliar continent.

He had no idea where it was. Nine Nether, who stood beside him, was taking a
serious look at the mountains and terrains.

She slightly furrowed her brows, as if she was pondering something. Scenes still
regularly appeared as they formed into a map of a continent in the end.

The size of this continent was beyond words.

It was shocking down to the heart. Mu Chen could only bitterly smile as he looked
at the unfamiliar map.

The Great Thousand World was too vast with many continents in it, it wasn’t an easy
task to be differentiated with just a map. Furthermore, the Mirror of Judgement did
not tell them the exact location of the Immortal Catalog, was it trying to get them
to search around in the vast continent without any clues?The probability was very
terrifying. Just when Mu Chen bitterly smiled, light gathered on the surface of the
mirror and vaguely, it turned into an ancient palace.

On top of the palace, the sun and moon were hovering as light shone onto the vast
continent. Nine Nether was looking at the ancient palace, as well as the sun and
moon hovering on top of it.

Her figure faintly trembled as dense shock rose in her pupils. The scene did not
last for long as it gradually faded.

In the end, the surface of the Mirror of Judgement returned to darkness.

Even the ray of light that was enveloping the Immortal Page faded. Mu Chen extended
his hand as he retrieved the Immortal Page and stored it in his body. “There’s no
clue at all. ” Mu Chen sighed as he spoke.

Whether it was the unknown continent or the ancient palace, he had no clues. “That
might not be the case. ” Nine Nether, who was looking at the Mirror of Judgement,
suddenly smiled. Hearing her words, Mu Chen was stunned for a moment, before
looking at Nine Nether.

Dense joy rose from his heart.

Judging from Nine Nether’s words, did she realise something?“If I have not guessed
incorrectly, the continent that was shown on the Mirror of Judgement should be one
of the ten major continents in the Great Thousand World, the Skylaw Continent. ”
Nine Nether chuckled. “One of the ten major continents… Skylaw Continent?” Mu Chen
muttered. “Right now, in the Great Thousand World, the ten major continents are the
most well-known, they can be considered the core regions of the Great Thousand
World.

They’re flourishing and have as many experts as the stars in the sky. ”“Comparing
the Northern Heavens Continent of your Northern Heavens Spiritual Academy to the
Skylaw Continent, it’s not even a firefly in comparison.

In the Skylaw Continent, any single one of the peak forces isn’t in any way
inferior to the Northern Heavens Spiritual Academy. ”

Hearing her words, Mu Chen smacked his lips.

Although he knew that the Northern Heavens Continent wasn’t much in the Great
Thousand World, he never thought that it would be to such a degree.

After all, the Northern Heavens Spiritual Academy could be considered as in control
of the entire Northern Heavens Continent.

However, when it was placed in comparison with the major continents, it was much
more inferior. “You seem to be very clear about the Skylaw Continent. ” Mu Chen was
astonished as he looked at Nine Nether.

He realised that Nine Nether seemed to be somewhat familiar with the Skylaw
Continent. “Do you know where I come from before I failed my tribulations?” Nine
Nether spoke with an eye-narrowing smile. Mu Chen was stunned as he answered, “It
can’t be the Skylaw Continent, right?”“Correct. ” Nine Nether nodded her head
thoughtfully. “Then, the Nine Nether Bird Clan is also in the Skylaw Continent?” Mu
Chen asked in astonishment. “The Nine Nether Bird Clan isn’t on the Skylaw
Continent.

However, back then, when I came out to experience the world, I went to the Skylaw
Continent.

Moreover, I still have a territory at that place. ” Nine Nether’s rosy lips rose as
she said, showing off. “You even established a force?” Now, Mu Chen was thoroughly
dumbstruck. “I did not establish a force, I was only recommended by a senior and
joined one of the peak forces.

After all, it’s impossible to go out without any background, especially in the
Skylaw Continent that has hidden dragons and crouching tigers. “Oh? There’s a force
that could hold you?” Mu Chen smiled. “Before I underwent my evolution, my strength
wasn’t even in the Sovereign Realm.

With that pitiful strength of mine, it wasn’t even anything in the Skylaw
Continent.

The force that I was a part of was called the Great Havenlaw Domain.

Don’t belittle it, it was one of the peak forces in the Skylaw Continent.

The strength of the entire force was only stronger compared to the Northern Heavens
Spiritual Academy, and not weaker.

Furthermore, my status in the Great Havenlaw Domain was pretty high. ” Nine Nether
chuckled. “Your strength was not even at the Sovereign Realm back then, and you
became one of the higher ranks?” Mu Chen spoke with doubt. “Haha, who asked me to
have a powerful background?” The curve on Nine Nether’s lips rose even more
distinct. Mu Chen was helpless, So it turns out that she took a backdoor to be in
the so-called ‘higher ranks’.

He shook his head as he looked at the Mirror of Judgement and said, “If the Skylaw
Continent was shown in the Mirror of Judgement earlier, then what does that palace
with the sun and moon behind it mean?”Nine Nether’s brows slightly raised as she
pondered for a long time, before saying in a slow tone, “I have once heard in the
Skylaw Continent that there was an Ancient Haven Palace hidden in the continent.

The lord of this Ancient Haven Palace was a supremacy existence that could tremble
the earth and sky back then, even Heavenly Sovereigns could not compete with him so
easily. ”Mu Chen’s gaze slightly changed.

An existence that not even Heavenly Sovereigns could compete against? Just how
terrifying is that?“Legend has it that in the Ancient Haven Palace, there is a
treasure that even Earth Sovereigns and Heavenly Sovereigns would be tempted to
have.

However, no one has seen the Ancient Haven Palace all these years
thus, it became a legend. ”Nine Nether’s gaze was revolving with thoughts as she
continued, “If the Immortal Catalog is in the Ancient Haven Palace, then I believe
that this supreme expert was one of the ten experts that possessed the Primal
Celestial Body in ancient times.

So much so that he might be the first possessor of the Primordial Immortal Body.
”Mu Chen’s gaze was heavy, since Nine Nether’s analysis made sense.

Maybe the Immortal Catalog was related to this Ancient Haven Palace.

But shortly after, he felt a headache.

Not to mention if this Ancient Haven Palace existed, even if it really showed
itself, it would definitely cause a huge commotion.

It was no different from snatching food from a tiger if he wanted to seize the
Immortal Catalog under the eyes of so many experts
being very treacherous. But, regardless of anything, now that he had obtained some
clue of it, he would definitely not give up so quickly. “Looks like it will be our
next objective. ” Mu Chen spoke in a soft voice. “To go to the Skylaw Continent? It
is indeed a decent place to train. ” Nine Nether smiled. “Right now, my objective
is to get stronger so that I can protect those I want to protect.

Furthermore, this Skylaw Continent is one of the major continents

thus, I believe that it will definitely be more interesting and dangerous compared
to the Northern Heavens Continent. ” Mu Chen spoke with a faint smile. The Skylaw
Continent was apparently a decent place.

He could train himself and, at the same time, seek more information regarding the
Ancient Haven Palace.

This way, he would be able to make his move first, if opportunity allowed.
Clearly, he still had to get stronger before then.

Otherwise, even if the Ancient Haven Palace did appear, without any strength, he
wouldn’t have any qualifications to seize it. “I never thought that we would be
returning to the Skylaw Continent, how reminiscing. ” Nine Nether sighed.

Back then, when she left the Nine Nether Bird Clan for the Skylaw Continent, she
fell into the small Northern Spiritual Realm because she was undergoing her
tribulations, and with accidents arising from many causes, she formed the Bloodlink
Bond with Mu Chen. Furthermore, the most coincidental point was that right now, Mu
Chen was also heading for that continent.

Fate was truly unfathomable. “Let’s go, when we go to the Skylaw Continent, I can
rely on you. ” Mu Chen smiled. “As long as you say my name, I guarantee that you
will be able to run amok anywhere you want in the Skylaw Continent. ” Nine Nether
spoke with her eyes narrowed from smiling. Mu Chen rolled his eyes and disregarded
her.

The mighty Great Havenlaw Domain that was mentioned by Nine Nether was only one of
the peak forces.

Even if Nine Nether was one of the higher ranks, it was still impossible to run
amok in the Skylaw Continent. Mu Chen turned around as he descended the stone
stairs, towards the spatial crack.

Although he wasn’t able to obtain any accurate news, his harvest was already
satisfying.

At the very least, he had a rough location and didn’t have to blindly roam around.
When the two of them walked out of the spatial crack, the spatial ripples had
directly appeared in the Main Hall of the Northern Heavens Spiritual Academy.

Before them, the Northern Sea Dragon was looking at them, smiling. “You’re
done?”Mu Chen nodded his head as he returned the bronze seal back to the Northern
Sea Dragon as he spoke with sincereness.

“Thank you, Senior Northern Sea for your help. ”The Northern Sea Dragon waved his
sleeves, and the spatial crack gradually disappeared.

Looking at the youth before him, his gaze turned gentle, “You will be leaving very
soon?”“Three days from now. ” Mu Chen sucked in a mouthful of air as he spoke,
suppressing the reluctance in his heart. The Northern Sea Dragon nodded his head as
a smile appeared on his aged face, “I am looking forward to hearing your news
again.

I believe that at that time, you will leave us all in shock. ”“You are the pride
of our Northern Heavens Spiritual Academy, I hope that our prided son will not be
buried by the innumerable geniuses of the Great Thousand World. ”“I will do my
best. ”Mu Chen smiled as he turned his head, looking at the lively and familiar
academy that was shone by the setting sun.

Countless figures were streaking across the horizon as they head to the four
locations of the Northern Heavens Spiritual Academy. Goddess Luo Association…
Lightning Territory… Spirit Convergence Array… Spiritual Points Hall…Those familiar
locations were gradually dimmed by the golden light and slowly disappeared from his
sight. Mu Chen spread his arms out as a smile hung on the corner of his lips.

He was reluctant to part with this place, but he was also looking forward to his
future path.

This was not his destination, it was merely his starting point. Goodbye, Northern
Heavens Spiritual Academy.

Chapter 646 - Departure Three days passed in the blink of an eye. When the third
sun tore apart the darkness and shone onto this land, the entire Northern Heavens
Spiritual Academy was once again filled with vitality.

However, the atmosphere in the academy today was somewhat different compared to how
it usually was. Countless students were looking up at the most central peak of the
Northern Heavens Spiritual Academy.

They could vaguely see a slender and towering figure. Every single student already
knew the news of Mu Chen leaving the Northern Heavens Spiritual Academy. They were
looking at that youth basked in light with revere and admiration.

He was the most dazzling figure in their Northern Heavens Spiritual Academy,
seizing the glory for them in the Great Spiritual Academy Tournament. Although it
was natural for youths to be prideful, towards Mu Chen, they felt admiration and
respect from the depth of their hearts. At the headquarters of the Goddess Luo
Association, the eyes of the tens of thousands of members were a little dim.

Both Mu Chen and Luo Li were the pillars of their Goddess Luo Association, and with
the two of them leaving, it was a huge blow to their association. However, they
knew that right now, it was unsuitable for Mu Chen to stay in the Northern Heavens
Spiritual Academy.

He needed a higher stage, and the Northern Heavens Spiritual Academy was too small
for him. Although they felt sad, it was extremely understandable. On the training
ground, Ye Qingling, Yu Xi and Su Ling’er raised their heads.

That brat Yu Xi’s eyes were a little red when she heard that Mu Chen was about to
leave.

She couldn’t stop herself from crying
her nose as tears gathered in her big
gently rubbed her head as she smiled,
you will be the pillar of the Goddess
responsibility he gave you.
like a kitten. Up until now, she was sniffing
eyes. “Okay, stop crying. ” Ye Qingling
“Didn’t Mu Chen say before his departure that
Luo Association in the future? This is the

You definitely can’t disappoint him. ”Yu Xi rubbed her eyes as she heavily nodded
her head.

“Rest assured, Big Sister Ye, I will definitely not let the Goddess Luo Association
decline.

In the next Great Spiritual Academy Tournament, I will definitely seize the
championship!”“Ambitious. ” Ye Qingling gently smiled and raised her head, looking
at that figure and wished in her heart, “Mu Chen, have a pleasant journey. ”Up on
the peak, Mu Chen was looking down at the enormous Northern Heavens Spiritual
Academy.

The countless gazes were caught in his eyes as sadness from the departure rose in
his heart. Behind Mu Chen, Ling Xi walked up, her face was filled with a gentle
smile as she stood before Mu Chen and lightly adjusted his clothes.

“You must take care of yourself when you leave the Northern Heavens Spiritual
Academy. ”Mu Chen looked at the beautiful face close to him and felt a little
touched.

He extended his hand and embraced Ling Xi’s waist.

He gave her a hug and soon let go.

“Big Sister Ling Xi, you must be careful as well.

If you encounter any danger, then give up for the time being.

I promise you that I will definitely rescue mother.

At that time, no matter how dangerous it will be, I will protect both you and
mother. ”Ling Xi’s figure stiffened for a brief moment from Mu Chen’s actions, but
when she heard Mu Chen’s words, the corner of her eyes slightly turned red.

She was touched as the emotion flowed in her eyes.

She could feel the concern in Mu Chen’s words. She lightly nodded her head and
shifted her glance towards Nine Nether, who was by his side and smiled, “Nine
Nether, I apologise for picking on you some time ago.

I hope you will not take it to heart. ”Nine Nether was stunned as she apparently
did not expect Ling Xi to take the initiative and apologise to her.

In this instant, she felt a little bewildered.

The expression on her face wasn’t too natural.

She waved her hand as she said, “No worries. ”“In the future, I’d like to request
you to take care of him. ” Ling Xi spoke in a soft tone. Nine Nether nodded her
head, “My life and his are linked together, I will definitely not let anything
happen to him. ”The Northern Sea Dragon and Dean Tai Cang had also flown over at
this moment.

They looked at Mu Chen and smiled.

“The Teleportation Spiritual Array has already been set up, it will send you out of
the Northern Heavens Continent.

If you need to go anywhere, search for big cities in other continents and use their
Teleportation Spiritual Array. ”“Thank you, Senior Northern Sea and Dean. ” Mu Chen
looked in the sky behind him, there was a colossal Teleportation Spiritual Array.
The Skylaw Continent was exceptionally far, and even Sovereign experts would need
half a year of the rushed journey to reach without using a Teleportation Spiritual
Array.

Furthermore, it was on the basis that there weren’t any obstructions. In between
continents, they were either separated by vast oceans or dangers that even
Sovereign experts would fear, some were also separated by spatial currents.

Even Sovereign experts would face danger to pass through it. “It’s almost time, get
going!”Mu Chen inhaled a deep breath.

Although he was reluctant to part, he did not procrastinate as he spoke to Nine

Nether. Nine Nether nodded her head, and the two of them appeared in the
Teleportation Spiritual Array. “Mu Chen, don’t throw the face of our Northern
Heavens Spiritual Academy, no matter what.

You’ll always be considered the Numero Uno of our Northern Heavens Spiritual
Academy!” Far away, there was a loud voice as he saw Shen Cangsheng and Li Xuantong
standing on air as they looked at him. “Mu Chen, if the opportunity arises for us
to meet again, don’t be dragged down by us.

If that is the case, we will definitely not be polite to you. ” A smile surfaced on
Li Xuantong’s handsome face as he spoke. Mu Chen nodded his head towards the two.
“Big Brother Mu, have a safe journey!”Innumerable voices rang out from the
headquarters of the Goddess Luo Association.

Countless members of the association all stood up as they bowed towards the
direction of Mu Chen. This was their respect for the founder of the Goddess Luo
Association. At the sight of that, Mu Chen felt sour in his nose.

However, he did not speak as he shifted his gaze towards the Northern Sea Dragon
and lightly nodding his head. The Northern Sea Dragon sighed and nodded his head in
response.

He flicked his finger.

A ray of Spiritual Energy shot into the Teleportation Spiritual Array, and in an
instant, a brilliant light shone from it as space started to violently distort. As
his sight began to blur, Mu Chen knew that the teleportation would soon begin.

He looked at the Northern Heavens Spiritual Academy that was getting more fuzzier
and softly said in his head, “Everyone, take care.

We will meet again in the future. ”Whoosh!The intensity of the light in the
Teleportation Spiritual Array reached the limits as space distorted into a vortex.

As the suction force grew stronger, Mu Chen and Nine Nether had turned into two
streaks of light as they dived into the spatial vortex and disappeared. The
Teleportation Spiritual Array up in the sky gradually dimmed down.

The violent spatial fluctuations also slowly calmed down and restored peace to the
sky.

However, the two figures had already disappeared. The entire Northern Heavens
Spiritual Academy was in silence as the atmosphere became extremely gloomy. Looking
at this sight, Dean Tai Cang helplessly sighed.

In the past, when other famous students left, there wasn’t one situation that
caused the entire academy to be so gloomy. “That kid’s… charisma was that
great?”Dean Tai Cang smiled as he shook his head.
However, he did not boost the atmosphere intentionally as he knew that this
gloominess would gradually fade as time passed. Perhaps, when another brilliant
student appears in the Northern Heavens Spiritual Academy, Mu Chen’s influence will
fade.

However… is it possible to wait for someone that can surpass Mu Chen?As he thought
about it, Dean Tai Cang sighed in pity.

But, along with feeling regret, there was also a trace of expectation in his heart.

He wanted to know the height of this youth that walked out of their Northern
Heavens Spiritual Academy. Perhaps it will be as they expected when he returned to
the Northern Heavens Spiritual Academy once again, his strength might have already
resounded throughout the Great Thousand World. Ling Xi quietly stood on the peak as
she looked at the location in which Mu Chen left for a long time without a word.

Dean Tai Cang and the rest did not interrupt her as they quietly left. Ling Xi
stood for an entire day, until the night enveloped her, before she recovered.

She looked at the vast Northern Heavens Spiritual Academy.

It was the same scenery, but for some reason, something was lacking and felt dull.
She turned around, returned to the courtyard that she resided in and came before
the tightly shut bamboo house.

She pushed the door open and went in.

In the tidy bamboo house, hung a portrait with a soft female silhouette that made
others feel at ease in their hearts. She looked at the portrait as she smiled,
“Aunt Jing, Mu Chen has already left… He’s very outstanding, no wonder he is Aunt
Jing’s son.

But, I will not be able to follow him.

I will definitely find you, Aunt Jing. ”“No matter who is he, I will definitely not
let him off for sealing my memories!” Ling Xi clenched her fist as cold killing
intent surged in her eyes. “Aunt Jing, I will definitely rescue you!”Ling Xi strode
forth as she carefully stored the portrait and left the bamboo house.

She looked at this place that she has resided in for a long time. “Big Sister Ling
Xi. ”Sun’er’s shy voice resounded as she stood in the courtyard, looking at Ling Xi
with her eyes reddened, “You are also leaving?”Ling Xi strode forth as she hugged
Sun’er and smiled, “Yeah, Big Sister Ling Xi has some things to do.

Sun’er, after I leave, you cannot stop your cultivation.

Otherwise, I will punish you when I return. ”Sun’er hugged Ling Xi tightly as she
nodded.

“Big Sister Ling Xi, will you and Big Brother Mu Chen return in the future?”Ling Xi
gently rested her pearly-white chin on Sun’er’s head as she answered, “Rest
assured, we will all return…”Sun’er no longer spoke as she obediently sunk into
Ling Xi’s embrace.

Moonlight shone down as the white-dressed girl slightly raised her head.

The moon shone a light curve on her face.

It became the most gorgeous night scene in the entire Northern Heavens Spiritual
Academy. And from this night forth, students of the Northern Heavens Spiritual
Academy would realise that the beauty that was young yet holding an Elder spot,
Ling Xi, had quietly left. She did not disturb anyone else, and when she left, only
her back silhouette was still that gorgeous.

Chapter 647 - Spirituality of the Spiritual Energy This was a broad and endlessly
stretched ocean, the end of it could not be seen.

In the ocean, there were occasionally huge aquatic Spiritual Beasts leaping about,
rolling waves at the same time. Tsk! Tsk!Up in the sky, space abruptly distorted as
strong spatial ripples spread out, forming a spatial vortex.

Two light figures flew from the spatial vortex after that and appeared in the sky
of this ocean. The instant the two of them appeared, they exchanged looks as they
swept their gazes out.

They were stunned upon seeing the vast ocean. “Where is this?” Mu Chen was at a
loss as he asked, scratching his head. Nine Nether was clearly more experienced
compared to Mu Chen.

She slowly retrieved a scroll and opened it.

The scroll was filled with complicated patterns and, after looking at it, it seemed
to be an incredibly huge map. She swept her gaze as she pointed on a region on the
map, then she lightly tapped on it.

Ripples fluctuated on the map as it expanded, making it more distinct.

In the end, a light dot appeared in that region. “Look, we are currently here.

This is an ocean outside the Northern Heavens Continent, and if we continue forth,
we will be able to enter the Nanling Continent.

At that time, we can borrow their Teleportation Spiritual Array to head for the
other continent. ” Nine Nether smiled. Mu Chen looked at the map as his eyes were
filled with shock.

He could vaguely sense the pretty powerful Spiritual Energy ripples. “This is a
Spiritual Artifact?” Mu Chen was startled as he spoke. “Yeah, this is a Spiritual
Diagram that is used in the Great Thousand World to record maps.

Generally speaking, those that go out would have one prepared.

So, naturally, I have one prepared as well.

If we didn’t have this Spiritual Diagram, it wouldn’t be easy for us to reach to

Skylaw Continent. ” Nine Nether lightly nodded her head. “There’s nothing to worry
with Nine Nether around. ” Mu Chen flattered with an eye-narrowing smile.

He was speaking the truth from the depths of his heart.

If he was all alone, he might not even know what to do right now.

How could he be as prepared as Nine Nether?Nine Nether glared at him. “Then, how
long will it take for us to reach the Skylaw Continent?” Mu Chen inquired. “We will
at least have to pass through tens of continents to reach the Skylaw Continent by
continuously travel through the Teleportation Spiritual Array.
Even if we travelled without any rest, we would still require at least two months
to get to the Skylaw Continent. ” Nine Nether spoke indifferently. “Two months…” Mu
Chen couldn’t stop the corner of his lips from twitching. “Don’t think about
relaxing during these two months. ” Nine Nether looked at Mu Chen as her expression
turned much more serious as she continued, “Mu Chen, I believe you are aware that
you have already left the Northern Heavens Spiritual Academy, and the place that we
are going to is not an ivory tower.

The Great Thousand World speaks with strength, and without sufficient strength, no
one will look at you, no matter where you go. ”

“Even the Great Havenlaw Domain, which I was from, is not peaceful.

It was a place filled with internal conflicts.

They are not like the small fights in the Northern Heavens Spiritual Academy.

Although I will do my best to protect you there, I know that you do not want that.
”Hearing her words, Mu Chen lightly smiled, “Rest assured, I have been well-aware
of this logic since long ago. ”The Great Havenlaw Domain was not the Northern
Heavens Spiritual Academy, which had others trying to assist him in his
cultivation.

If he couldn’t climb up by himself, he would most likely be stepped on by others.

Nine Nether lightly nodded her head as she continued, “Right now, although you have
successfully broken through to the Sovereign Realm, you are barely a First Grade
Sovereign. ”“Because I have yet to cultivate the Sovereign Celestial Body?” Mu Chen
said calmly.

In fact, he could cultivate a Sovereign Celestial Body with his strength, but it
would only be an ordinary one.

Aside from the Great Solar Undying Body, he did not have any other cultivation
techniques for a Sovereign Celestial Body.

Also, he didn’t want to waste the precious Sovereign Spiritual Liquid on an

ordinary Sovereign Celestial Body.

He was aware that after he gathered the two remaining materials for the Great Solar
Undying Body, he would require a very large amount of Sovereign Spiritual Liquid.
If he were to cultivate, he definitely didn’t wish to walk an ordinary path. “That
is only one of the reasons. ” Nine Nether nodded her head as she continued, “There
is another reason why the Sovereign Realm is a dividing line in the path of
cultivation, aside from the Sovereign Sea and Sovereign Celestial Body.

The Spiritual Energy of a Sovereign expert possesses spirituality, and regarding

quality, it far surpasses ordinary Spiritual Energy. ”“Spirituality?”Mu Chen
lightly frowned his brows. “The Spiritual Energy of many Sovereign experts has a
unique attribute.

Some have an ice-cold Spiritual Energy, while some are violent and fiery.

Because of these unique attributes that they possess, their might isn’t ordinary.
”Mu Chen pondered as he vaguely recalled the helper from the Demonic Dragon Palace
back in the Northern Heavens Continent, that Old Ancestor Wu Ling.

His Spiritual Energy was dominant, and he could create cold and pitch-black waves
in an instant.
Those waves were actually formed with his Spiritual Energy, so it was
extraordinarily overbearing and no ordinary Spiritual Energy could be compared to
it. “Then, how should I give an attribute to my Spiritual Energy?” Mu Chen spoke as
he pondered. “Do you still remember that your Spiritual Energy has once combined
with my Nine Nether Flames? Back then, your Spiritual Energy was exceptionally
powerful and, speaking from a certain angle, the two were just interlinked.

However, it is tiny in comparison. ”Mu Chen was instantly enlightened.

Directly speaking, the so-called “attributes” was the fusion of their Spiritual
Energy with other things, evolving his own Spiritual Energy and making it stronger.
Although it was easy to speak about it, it was tough to actually accomplish it.

Since Spiritual Energy would not fuse with just any random material, the instant
the Spiritual Energy rejected it, not only would it not evolve, there would also be
a huge drawback and he would be harming himself instead. “Then, what should I fuse
it with?” Mu Chen asked. The majority of the Sovereign experts would choose to
absorb the abnormal energy from places of extreme cold or heat and fuse that with
their Spiritual Energy.

It was the most straightforward and easiest method.

However, there would also be a limit to how much it can increase the power of
Spiritual Energy. “You have once fused with the Nine Nether Flames, so your
Spiritual Energy should be compatible to fire-attributed items.

Furthermore, you have also trained in the Lightning God’s Physique, so you should
also be compatible with lightning attributes…”Nine Nether pondered as she
continued, “As for lightning attributes, it is impossible for you to fuse with any
powerful lightning sources at your current state, so you should temporarily give up
on the idea.

As for flames… my Undying Flames should be a good choice for you. ”Mu Chen eyes lit
up.

Not only was that a pretty good choice, it was just perfect.

He was no longer as ignorant as he was in the past.

He knew how powerful the Undying Flames were.

The crucial point was that the Undying Flames also possessed profound
characteristics. Undying. But again, it didn’t mean that he wouldn’t die if he
possessed the Undying Flames.

He would possess powerful regenerative power due to the Undying Flames.

No matter how grave his injuries were, as long as it wasn’t enough to erase his
Spirit, he would be able to gradually recover from his injuries. Possessing the
Undying Flames, he would have the upper hand in a long battle. Mu Chen’s eyes lit
up as a thought flashed in his mind.

He looked at Nine Nether and bitterly smiled, “But, if we did that, you will also
suffer some harm, right?”Although Nine Nether possessed the Undying Flames, it
wasn’t something that she had gotten so easily.

She also had to exhaust a significant amount of energy and spirit to create the
Undying Flames.
If Mu Chen wanted his Spiritual Energy to evolve, the amount of Undying Flames he
required would be incredibly tremendous. And to Nine Nether, it was a huge burden.
Nine Nether did not comment on his speech as she stared at Mu Chen with her slender
eyes.

“Although there will be some obstructions, it’s nothing great. ”“But…”“From today
on, we will travel during the day, and you will start fusing with the Undying
Flames at night.

My bottom line for you is to have your Spiritual Energy evolved before reaching the
Skylaw Continent!” Nine Nether did not give Mu Chen any chance to refuse as she
said with indifference. “If you can’t accomplish that…” A dangerous arc rose on
Nine Nether’s rosy lips. “Don’t blame me for being impolite!”She casually slapped
her hand down, and the ocean beneath her ripped apart.

The leaping Spiritual Beasts were instantly slaughtered with that palm of hers.
Looking at the situation, Mu Chen couldn’t help twitching the corner of his lips as
he wiped the cold sweat on his forehead.

He was well-aware of Nine Nether’s personality.

If things really came to that point, she might really give him a beating.

This Big Sister was too violent. “Do you have any opinions?” Nine Nether chuckled
as she looked at Mu Chen.

Although she was incredibly gorgeous, she made Mu Chen flow with cold sweat as he
hastily shook his head. “Good, let us go, then. ”Nine Nether nodded in
satisfaction. “We’re going to fly across this ocean?” Mu Chen was stunned as he
quickly carried on, “Why don’t you return to your original form and I’ll ride you
as you fly over it, it will be so much faster…”The instant when he spoke, he felt
something amiss as Nine Nether, who stood before him, had her brows lifted.

However, she still maintained a blossoming smile on her face.

It was so much so that her smile was a little lovely as she leisurely strode forth
with her face flushed red.

“Little Brother Mu Chen, you really want to ride Big Sister?”Mu Chen dryly smiled
as he turned around and ran. Boom!But before he could run far, violent Spiritual
Energy enveloped him as he saw a large wing ruthlessly slapping towards him.

A booming sound rang out as he was sent into the ocean. Mu Chen came out of the
ocean as a figure flit across the horizon with a lovable chuckle sounding out.
“You’re not allowed to come out, you are to swim in the ocean.

It’s your training. ”Mu Chen felt grief and indignation.

He clenched his teeth as he muttered, A wise man knows better than fight when odds
are against him.

He chose to endure it for the time being, and when he was stronger than her in the
future, he would definitely press her down on his thighs and spank her bottom. Nine
Nether, just you wait!The youth swam forth with all his effort as he roared in his
heart.
Chapter 648 - The Slow Journey The journey towards the Skylaw Continent was a slow
one.

However, under the task given by Nine Nether, the dry and dull journey started to
get painful. It wasn’t an easy task, even for Sovereign experts, to evolve their
Spiritual Energy. Although Mu Chen had once come in contact with the Nine Nether
Flames in the past, compared to having his Spiritual Energy evolved with it was
extremely tough.

It was simply the comparison between a firefly and the large moon. Also, it wasn’t
the Nine Nether Flames that he was trying to merge with right now, it was the
Undying Flames that was several times more powerful!Nine Nether’s training
technique was straightforward, and at the same time, overbearing.

She did not use any cheap trick.

She had directly injected the tyrannical Undying Flames into Mu Chen’s body,
finding the concealed Sovereign Sea in his body and poured them inside it. The
Undying Flames whistled in his Sovereign Sea as the blazing temperature instantly
made Mu Chen’s Sovereign Sea ignite.

The sensation of his Spiritual Energy boiling gave Mu Chen an extreme pain.

Even his Sovereign Sea showed signs of falling apart. However, every single time he
reached his limit, Nine Nether would retract the Undying Flames, and send it over
again once Mu Chen’s Sovereign Sea calmed down. Mu Chen only felt two words from
the boiling of his Spiritual Energy. Living death. According to Nine Nether’s
words, the Undying Flames were far more overbearing than the Nine Nether Flames.

If Mu Chen had directly fused with it right from the start, there would only be one
outcome.

His Spiritual Energy would be combusted by the Undying Flames, and even his
Sovereign Sea would be affected by it. Thus, he could only gradually get used to
the Undying Flames if he wanted to fuse with it.

But, how can he get used to it? That’s simple, to burn his Spiritual Energy over
and over again. With Nine Nether’s logic, it was similar to getting trashed.

The more you get trashed, the more you will get used to it. As Mu Chen’s Spiritual
Energy was continuously blazed by it, it would also gradually get used to the
Undying Flames, in which he can proceed to fuse it. Therefore, Mu Chen could only
endure this torturing training method, since there was no other alternative. In the
ten days of their journey, Mu Chen and Nine Nether would rest whenever night came,
and that was also Mu Chen’s everyday nightmare …However, Mu Chen clenched his teeth
as he endured the pain of the training.

He knew that in this world, there wasn’t any strength that came without a price.

If he wanted to evolve his Spiritual Energy, he would have to pay the price for it.
Furthermore, he could sense that every time they ended the training, Nine Nether’s
face would be slightly pale.

After all, the Undying Flames were something that she had obtained through bitter
cultivation.

Such exhaustion was a little hard to bear as well, even if she had successfully
evolved now.
Facing this situation, if Mu Chen could not hold on, then he couldn’t be considered
as a man. Thus, the painful training continued. The painful training in the night
did not affect the speed of their journey.

In just a short of half a month’s time, they had already passed through numerous
vast continents. In the beginning, it was a new found world for the youth that had
stepped into the Great Thousand World.

He got used to it very quickly and also placed the majority of his attention to
cultivating. Aside from the hastened journey and cultivation, Mu Chen and Nine
Nether would also seek information on the Void Great Solar Fruit and the Undying
Divine Leaf.

Those were the two crucial material for Mu Chen to cultivate the Great Solar
Undying Body. However, there weren’t any fruits in their search.

The rarity of the two treasures far surpassed Mu Chen’s imagination.

After all, those two treasures would be great temptations to Sovereign experts.
Especially the Void Great Solar Fruit.

The miraculous part was that the Void Great Solar Fruit would form a blazing sun in
their Sovereign Sea.

If one could obtain it and refine it into his Sovereign Sea, it would continuously
shine on the Spiritual Energy in the Sovereign Sea, allowing the Spiritual Energy
in his body to be fused with the energy of the sun
making it somewhat overbearing. Faced with such a unique treasure that could
deepen their Spiritual Energy, which Sovereign expert wouldn’t treat it as a
treasure?As for the Undying Divine Leaf, it was also scarce.

It was said that this mysterious treasure was known as the substitute leaf.

If one encountered a death situation, it could save their life. Which also meant
that this was a second life. Naturally, the rumours were a little exaggerated.

After all, if the attack was too terrifying to a certain extent, even the Undying
Divine Leaf would be entirely wiped out. However, it was still a perfect defence to
have such a treasure. After knowing how rare the two treasures were, Mu Chen knew
how lucky it was for him to obtain the Nine Suns Divine Lingzhi in the Great
Spiritual Academy Tournament.

After all, such a treasure wasn’t inferior to the other two treasures. Looks like
it will take a long time for me to gather the two materials. …The journey
continued. In the blink of an eye, one month had already passed, and in this month,
Mu Chen and Nine Nether had passed through dozens of continents.

The distance of their journey was a little unexpected for Mu Chen. Some of the
continents that they had passed through weren’t big.

It was so much so that it was even smaller than the Northern Heavens Continent.

However, there were also some vast continents, despite that.

Even if it wasn’t comparable to the Skylaw Continent, the forces in those

continents far surpassed the Northern Heavens Continent. In just a short month’s
time, Mu Chen’s experience had widened.

He had even seen several other races of the Great Thousand World, bringing a whole
new experience for him. Naturally, as his experience grew, his cultivation had also
stepped onto the right track. Experiencing the innumerable times of burning, the
Spiritual Energy in Mu Chen’s Sovereign Sea also started to adapt to the Undying
Flames.

At the very least, there was much less pain. The small changes made Mu Chen feel
relieved as he had finally obtained results from his torturous training. The moon
hung high in the sky.

On a mountain peak, Mu Chen was quietly seated on it.

Looking at the distance, a majestic city could be seen from far away.

The bright lights made it seem like daylight. The scale of this city wasn’t small.

Even at this time, there were streaks of light continuously piercing the night sky
towards the city. This city was named Blazing City.

The continent that Mu Chen and Nine Nether were currently located at was called
the Blazing Continent.

The majority of this continent was occupied by sand, even the Spiritual Energy in
this region was more blazed than some other places. In the city, there was the
Teleportation Spiritual Array that linked to the next continent.

However, Mu Chen and Nine Nether did not enter the continent, since they chose to
stay outside of it.

Mu Chen’s training tonight was extremely important. Mu Chen inhaled a deep breath
as his gaze grew bright.

He knew that his Spiritual Energy had reached a crucial point. Mu Chen turned his
head as he looked at Nine Nether, who was by the bonfire, as he said in a light
tone, “I plan to fuse with the Undying Flames this time. ”Nine Nether’s hands,
which were fiddling with the bonfire, paused as she abruptly raised her head.

Her pupils were looking at Mu Chen in shock as she knitted her brows.

“It’s just one month, aren’t you a little too hasty?”She originally intended to
give Mu Chen two months time to complete his Spiritual Energy cultivation.

But, right now, Mu Chen had actually shortened it by a fold. It was a perilous
thing for his Spiritual Energy to fuse with the Undying Flames.

If the Spiritual Energy and Undying Flames lost control, none of them would be
able to control it. “I’m not rushing, but I feel that it is almost time for it. ”
Mu Chen said with a faint smile. It was a strange sensation and if he didn’t grasp
the chance now, who knows when the next time would arrive.

So, Mu Chen did not want to waste it. Nine Nether looked at Mu Chen.

Her gaze was solemn, since Mu Chen was clearly not joking with her.

She pondered in silence for a brief moment, before nodding her head.

“Okay. ”“It has been tough for you. ”Mu Chen smiled feeling touched as he
gradually shut his eyes.

With a will of his mind, his consciousness had entered the Sovereign Sea.
 At this time, in the Sovereign Sea, the boundless Spiritual Energy was like an
ocean as it whistled.

But the Spiritual Energy in Mu Chen’s Sovereign Sea was slightly different
compared to a month ago.

There was a faint purple mixed in his Spiritual Energy. The reason for this was
naturally the Undying Flames that Nine Nether had used to ignite his Spiritual
Energy for the past month. Rustle!A melodious sound abruptly came from above the
Sovereign Sea.

A light figure gradually appeared, and regarding its appearance, it was similar to
Mu Chen.

It was his Spirit. After his Sovereign Sea had successfully been refined, Mu
Chen’s Spirit had also been moved to his Sovereign Sea. The Spirit sat above the
ocean as he raised his head and muttered, “Let’s begin. ”Nine Nether sat before Mu
Chen on the mountain peak.

Her face was replaced with solemnness.

The bitter endurance of a month was for this step. She had spat out a mouthful of
air as she extended her hand and lightly tapped the centre of Mu Chen’s brows.
Purple flames suddenly surged from Nine Nether’s fingers.

Shortly after, the flames had turned into a flaming pillar and gushed into Mu
Chen’s body. Mu Chen’s body jolted the moment the purple flames gushed into his
body.

He swiftly clenched his teeth and did not utter a single sound. In the Sovereign
Sea, the head of Mu Chen’s Spirit was raised, filled with graveness as his eyes
turned purple.

This wasn’t something he did himself. It was because there was an earth-shattering
amount of purple flames above the Sovereign Sea as it swept over with a dreadful
momentum. This time, the true might of the Undying Flames was unleashed.

Chapter 649 - Fusing the Undying Flames The earth-shattering amount of purple
flames spread out in the space as it continuously swept down from above the
Sovereign Sea with a terrifying momentum. A terrifyingly high temperature swept out
in the Sovereign Sea. In that instant, even after Mu Chen had experienced the
bitter torture for a month, his Spiritual Energy in his Sovereign Sea was gradually
boiling at this moment.

An indescribable heat surged, he felt as if it was burning. “What overbearing

Undying Flames…”Mu Chen’s gaze was grave as he watched this scene.

Facing the tremendous momentum, he understood that Nine Nether had held back in
that entire month of training. If Nine Nether had the intention to kill, his entire
Sovereign Sea would definitely be burnt to nothing. “But no matter how overbearing
you are, I will thoroughly fuse with you today!” Sharpness gushed from Mu Chen’s
eyes as he inhaled and his hand seals changed. Boom!Torrential waves swept out in
the vast Sovereign Sea as it turned into waves that were myriad feet in height as
they tried to engulf the purple flames. It truly was a spectacular scene. Tsk! Tsk!
However, the majestic assault of his Spiritual Energy was evaporated by the purple
flames at the instant of contact.
It turned into a white mist that rose in the Sovereign Sea. Boom!When Mu Chen
unleashed his attacks, the purple flames also started to show its might.

Purple flames gathered as it formed into fire pillars that shot down, and looking
at them, they were like shooting stars. Boom! Boom!The pillars of purple flames
shot into the Sovereign Sea as they lifted torrential waves. Tsk!Along with the
descent of those purple flaming pillars, the entire Sovereign Sea turned into tidal
waves as it rolled.

Mu Chen could sense that the Spiritual Energy in his Sovereign Sea wasactually
being evaporated, bit by bit. Right now, the Undying Flames were not being held
back.

If Mu Chen wanted to fuse them with his own Spiritual Energy, he would have to
truly defeat them. There wasn’t any shortcut to this fusion. “We’ll see who can
last longer. ”Mu Chen’s expression was grave, but without any hesitation.

He waved his hand while showing a cold gaze, lifting myriads of waves in his
Sovereign Sea.

The boundless Spiritual Energy was like a loop of water as it enveloped the purple
flames. The two energies brazenly came into contact. Tsk! Tsk!There weren’t any
violent impacts from the contact.

The instant his Spiritual Energy mixed with the purple flames, it would immediately
evaporate.

But even so, Mu Chen still maintained a calm expression as he controlled his
Spiritual Energy and endlessly shot it forth. The Spiritual Energy was endlessly
evaporating. The ocean-level of his Sovereign Sea was being reduced in layers.
Because of the high temperature, even the space above the Sovereign Sea was
slightly distorted, as if it was about to be destroyed.

On the mountain peak, Mu Chen’s body was flushed red, with his upper clothes
already being reduced to dust.

His expression was twisted and had clearly shown the intense pain that he was
suffering.

The sweat that came from him had also evaporated in an instant. Cracks also
appeared on the ground that Mu Chen sat on, and it was expanding at a rapid speed.
Nine Nether pointed at Mu Chen’a brow as she looked at him, whose entire body was
red in colour.

She couldn’t help clenching her teeth as at this point in time.

There wasn’t much she could do.

Mu Chen could only rely on himself to fuse with the Undying Flames…“Mu Chen, you
can do it. ”Nine Nether clenched her teeth as she muttered in her heart. Within the
Sovereign Sea, a dreadfully high temperature spread out. The space in this region
looked as if it was very slow.

The rolling sea was being continuously torn apart as vast Spiritual Energy
constantly evaporated. As the Spiritual Energy in his body evaporated, Mu Chen felt
a vague weakness surging up. The surface of his Spirit was also fluctuating with
ripples as his consciousness started to turn fuzzy.
However, the Undying Flame was too overbearing, they were not only burning his
Spiritual Energy, they even started to erode his Spirit. The instant his Spirit was
engulfed, the entire Sovereign Sea would also turn to nothing from the fire.

And at that time, not only would Mu Chen fail his fusion, he might even be killed
by the blazing flames. If he wanted to fuse with such an overbearing matter, he
would naturally have to pay an unimaginably dangerous price as well. Mu Chen’s
consciousness gradually turned fuzzy, but he still kept his consciousness clear,
because he knew that if his consciousness was devoured, he would have to pay the
price of annihilation. It was a price that he couldn’t afford.

He had already given his promise to that girl, so he couldn’t afford to stop here.
Time gradually flowed, and in the Sovereign Sea, space was also being distorted by
the high temperature.

The mist was everywhere in sight, clouding his vision. In the boiling Sovereign
Sea, Mu Chen’s Spirit quietly sat there.

Compared to before, his Spirit had dimmed down a lot, but he still kept his eyes
shut. He could no longer sense any disturbances outside, but in the depths of his
Spirit, there was still a strand of consciousness. That strand of consciousness was
similar to a light-weight boat in the torrential ocean, swaying along with the
waves.

It seemed like it could capsize at any moment, but it did not fall. Facing the
overbearing temperature of the Undying Flames, Mu Chen had no ways to counterattack
and could only guard himself.

His only advantage was his well-trained will that refused to go down so easily. He
knew that victory belonged to whoever could last longer. The concept of time had
already been unknowingly forgotten by Mu Chen.

He only relied on that strand of consciousness to recall a long time, as if a

hundred years had passed…In that long time, even Mu Chen’s consciousness had
started to fade and was gradually lost, unable to stay sober anymore. “What am I
doing?”“Was I cultivating? I failed?”“I feel like falling asleep like
this…”Indistinct ripples would occasionally come from his consciousness.

In the darkness, Mu Chen’s remaining consciousness was unknowingly being quietly

devoured. Nine Nether stood on the peak as she looked down with a nervous gaze.

The mountain had already turned scarlet-red, the grass and trees had already been
reduced to dust, and the source of that destruction was Mu Chen, who was seating on
the peak of the mountain. She could see the pain on Mu Chen’s face had already
disappeared, replaced with bewilderment.

That bewilderment did not let her felt relieved.

Instead, dense worry surged in her eyes. She knew that if Mu Chen could not regain
his conscious by himself, he would be submerged in that bewildering world of
consciousness, and would no longer be able to find a way for himself to return.
Nine Nether clenched her teeth as she lightly raised her hand, but soon placed it
down.

In this short period of a day, there were several times when she wanted to
interfere.

But if that happened, it would cause grave injuries for Mu Chen. “Mu Chen, you have
promised her before that you will become a supreme expert…”Nine Nether shut her
eyes as she muttered in her heart. In the fuzzy consciousness, tiny ripples
suddenly fluctuated, and in the depth of them, it was as if a soft voice wa
resounding. It was distant, but also enlightening at the same time. “I have
promised her that I will become a supreme expert…”“How can I let myself stop
here?”“Wake up. ”Following those two words, fluctuations rippled from the depths of
his heart.

That strand of conscious abruptly surged as it spread out and occupied his heart.
The bewilderment from before had completely disappeared. On the Sovereign Sea,
there was the Spirit that had shrunk in size by roughly tenfold.

The Spirit jolted as his tightly shut eyes slowly opened up. He was focusing on the
Sovereign Sea that was filled with dense purple mist.

He slowly stood up and lightly waved his sleeve.

In an instant, a gale blew away the purple mist. The mist faded and what appeared
was the clear and vast ocean. His current Sovereign Sea was lustring with purple as
purple flames lightly swayed in the Sovereign Sea.

The sea, which was initially boiling, had long calmed down. Torrential purple
flames hid below the sea. Mu Chen’s Spirit was quietly looking at the Sovereign Sea
as a faint smear of a smile appeared on his face. “Did I succeed…?”He slowly spread
his arms out as boundless Spiritual Energy poured from beneath his feet.

The size of his Spirit, which had shrunk down, instantly recovered.

Furthermore, there were strands of purple light circulating on the surface of his
body, and purple flames surging in his eyes. Compared to before, his Spirit was
even more refined. Mu Chen extended his hand out as torrential purple Spiritual
Energy swept from his Sovereign Sea and gathered on his palm.

Vaguely, it turned into a strand of purple flames, with incredible power being
emitted from it. Mu Chen stared at that strand of purple flames as an arc rose on
the corner of his lips. He could sense that although there wasn’t any apparent
increase in the Spiritual Energy, the might had increased by several times!Because,
at this moment, he had successfully fused the Undying Flames!

Chapter 650 - Merchant Continen tA figure quietly sat on the fissured peak.

His skin, which was initially red, had gradually returned to normal.

The dreadfully high temperature had also retracted. Nine Nether landed and felt
relieved at this scene as a smear of joy flashed across her eyes.

Judging from the current scene, Mu Chen seems to have succeeded, right?When Nine
Nether landed on the ground, Mu Chen’s eyes, which were shut, trembled and slowly
opened.

Within his black pupils, purple flames were surging as they emitted a peculiar
sensation. Mu Chen raised his head as he looked at Nine Nether, who stood by his
side and had a pair of exceptionally long and alluring legs.

He grinned as he spoke with relief, “I have succeeded. ”As he spoke, he stood up.
The instant he moved, the clothes he wore quietly turned into ashes. Nine Nether’s
face slightly flushed red as she glared at Mu Chen, before quickly shifting her
head away.

She was so shy that her ears were burning red. Mu Chen’s face was covered with
awkwardness as he quickly retrieved some clothes and put them on. Nine Nether
waited a while, before turning her head over.

Her face had pacified a little.

But the resentment in her eyes could not be concealed as she glared at Mu Chen. “An
accident, an accident. ” Mu Chen quickly said with a bitter expression.

If Nine Nether thought that he was teasing her and gave him a thrashing, it would
be an undeserved catastrophe. Nine Nether coldly snorted, but couldn’t be bothered
to argue with Mu Chen, then said in an indifferent tone, “You’ve succeeded?”A smear
of joy rose in Mu Chen’s face as he nodded his head.

With a grasp of his hand, purple Spiritual Energy gathered on his hand, and at a
depths of it, purple flames could be faintly seen. Mu Chen waved his hand as that
purple-coloured Spiritual Energy swept out and bombarded a peak not too far away.

Boom!That peak instantly shattered, and under the destruction of the Spiritual
Energy, a dreadful temperature swept out that instantly turned the grass and trees
on that peak into ashes. Mu Chen was startled as he looked at the collapsed peak.

Even the rocks were being melted.

Although the amount of Spiritual Energy he had was still the same, his offensive
abilities were not something that the past him could accomplish. Furthermore, he
could also sense that his control over his Spiritual Energy was like his limbs.

Moreover, even if that Spiritual Energy left his body, it still maintained a link
with him and could unleash continuous attacks through the remnants that would be
left inside. That was precisely the most fearsome part. In the past, when the
Spiritual Energy that left his body was severed by his opponent, that Spiritual
Energy would be out of his control and gradually dissipate.

But right now, even if it left Mu Chen’s control, it could still follow the will
left inside by Mu Chen to continue the attack until that energy was thoroughly
exhausted.

If this bizarre energy entered another person’s body, it would exhaust a tremendous
amount of energy before it could be expelled.

Especially the Undying Flames that was hidden in Mu Chen’s Spiritual Energy.

These flames were mysterious and powerful.

Trying to get rid of them would probably require several times the amount of
Spiritual Energy, and when it was removed, it would have probably left a massive
amount of destruction in the body. Mu Chen felt the changes in his Spiritual Energy
and he couldn’t stop himself from sighing.

Only after stepping into the Sovereign Realm himself, could he find out how
powerful Sovereign experts were. In the past, how could Mu Chen imagine that there
could be so many changes and profundities to the Spiritual Energy?“The Spiritual
Energy in your Sovereign Sea was refined from bitter hard work, without the
slightest external help
and now that it has been fused with the Undying Flames, regarding power, there
aren’t many people that could defeat you in regards to Spiritual Energy in the
realm of First Grade Sovereign. ” Nine Nether lightly nodded her head as she spoke.
“But, then again, that is only if the other party does not use their Sovereign
Celestial Body. ”“Sovereign Celestial Body…” Mu Chen couldn’t help sighing.
 A Sovereign Celestial Body was the trademark for a Sovereign expert’s battle.

The might of it was so extremely terrifying that mountains could be wiped away
with a single flip of their hand. “I wonder how powerful I will be after I have
successfully cultivated the Great Solar Undying Body. ” Thinking about it, Mu Chen
had a small amount of expectations, because he could faintly sense that the power
of the Great Solar Undying Body would far surpass his imagination. However,
expectations were still expectations in the end, since Mu Chen knew that it wasn’t
that easy to obtain the two remaining materials for the Great Solar Undying Body.

In this month, they had passed through dozens of continents and visited countless
auctions, but never caught wind of the Void Great Solar Fruit and Undying Divine
Leaf. Nine Nether’s gaze changed as she looked at Mu Chen.

She seemed to know his thoughts as she smiled, “Rest assured, even if we can’t
find any news about those two treasures, we should be able to get them in the
Skylaw Continent.

After all, it is a major continent, and those continents that we have passed by
aren't anything in comparison. ”Mu Chen nodded as he felt relieved in his heart.
“Furthermore…” Nine Nether’s voice paused for a brief moment, before she continued
to say, “There is a Greatlaw Goldpond in the Great Havenlaw Domain.

It is extremely mysterious, and even on the Skylaw Continent, it is a treasured

ground. ”“This Greatlaw Goldpond has a unique ability that can make a Sovereign
Celestial Body even more perfect.

Furthermore, if there are sufficient opportunities, it can also allow a Sovereign

Celestial Body to refine the Endless Golden Lustre. ”“Endless Golden Lustre?” Mu
Chen was baffled. “The Sovereign Celestial Body is powerful by nature, and upon
possing the Endless Golden Lustre, it is like giving wings to a tiger.

The crucial point is that the Endless Golden Lustre provides powerful defence,
making the Sovereign Celestial Body indestructible. ”“However, it isn’t an easy
task to refine the Endless Golden Lustre.

According to my knowledge, there were only a few in numbers that could

successfully refine the Endless Golden Lustre in the many years of Great Havenlaw
Domain. ”Mu Chen inwardly smacked his lips because he never knew the existence of
such a mysterious treasured land.

After all, something that could strengthen the Sovereign Celestial Body was
something that could make many Sovereign experts covet after it. “After you follow
me to the Great Havenlaw Domain, you have to enter this Greatlaw Goldpond. ” Nine
Nether spoke seriously. “There should be a requirement, right?” Mu Chen asked after
pondering for a brief moment. Since the so-called “Greatlaw Goldpond” had such
extraordinary power, it truly wasn’t something that anyone could use it. Nine
Nether lightly nodded her head as she said, “Only those with the Domain Lord title
can enjoy the Greatlaw Goldpond of the Great Havenlaw Domain.

There is a competition once every three years and the number of spots is limited.
”Nine Nether stared at Mu Chen with her slender eyes as she continued, “Therefore,
you have to fight for the Domain Lord title after entering the Great Havenlaw
Domain. ”“Lord?” Mu Chen was baffled. “In the Great Havenlaw Domain, there is a
Domain Ruler, but this Domain Ruler is exceptionally mysterious.

Therefore, the majority of the primary duties in the Great Havenlaw Domain is
managed by the three Emperors beneath the Domain Ruler. ”“Beneath the three
Emperors, is the nine Kings… and I am one of them. ” Nine Nether smiled, “Under
them would be the various Lords.

Generally speaking, in order to become a Lord, one is required to have reached the
Sovereign Realm. ”“Requisite of Sovereign Realm…” Mu Chen bitterly smiled.

Right now, he was barely a First Grade Sovereign.

From the looks of it, it wasn’t an easy task to seize a Lord position.

No wonder Nine Nether was in such haste for him to complete the training to
perfect his Spiritual Energy. “You don’t have any confidence?” Nine Nether said. Mu
Chen smiled, his smile had become much more radiant as he stretched his body,
“Nevermind, let me experience how powerful the experts in the Great Thousand World
are.

In the path of I, Mu Chen, I am not restricted to be a mere Lord. ”Hearing his

words, Nine Nether had a satisfied smile on her face. “Thanks. ” Mu Chen suddenly
turned his head as he looked at Nine Nether and spoke in a light voice. Perhaps
after leaving the Northern Heavens Continent, Nine Nether had been planning
everything for him.

Although he still didn’t know what the Greatlaw Goldpond represented, it shouldn’t
be something that even Nine Nether, as one of the nine Kings, could easily
determine. Thus, he was a little touched in his heart. “Save it.

It’s good enough if you don’t lose too badly at that time and throw my face. ”
Nine Nether cast her lips to the side as she snorted, except that in her voice,
there was a faint joy in it. “Let’s go, we should get moving. ”She waved her hand
and her figure turned into a streak of light as she flew out, no longer bothered to
speak any more with Mu Chen. Mu Chen lightly smiled.

He looked at that slender light silhouette and slowly clenched his fist, fighting
spirit surging in his heart.

The favour of the beauty was heavy to bear.

Looks like he had to acquire a Lord position in the Great Havenlaw Domain. …Over
the next month, Mu Chen and Nine Nether made their journey without stopping.

They were covered in dust as they passed through the various continents and under
their hastened journey, they were getting closer and closer to the Skylaw
Continent. On a particular day, Nine Nether and Mu Chen’s journey gradually,
finally, slowed down. Right now, they were in a continent called the Merchant
Continent.

This continent possessed a Teleportation Spiritual Array linked to the Skylaw

Continent.

So, generally speaking, for them, it was also the final stop in their long
journey. On this vast continent, there was the most significant auction house
within the nearby dozen continents.

Countless treasures, Divine Artifacts, and Divine Arts flowed here through all
sorts of channels. Perhaps some channels were dark, but no one cared about that,
because everyone knew that they could buy anything here in the Merchant Continent.
As long as you had a sufficient amount of Sovereign Spiritual Liquid. It was also
this place that made Mu Chen’s travel-worn heart slightly excited, since he would
finally obtain the last two materials he needed for the Great Solar Undying Body.
Void Great Solar Fruit. Undying Divine Leaf.

Chapter 651 - Merchant City Merchant ContinentAs according to the name, it was a
continent that did trades in general.

In this continent, there were many auction houses with decent fame.

Although this continent wasn’t vast in size, the reputation of it was resounding in
the Great Thousand World. The origin of the fame came from the countless treasures
gathered here.

Many of the treasures were gathered here from all sort of places, and circulating
through all sort of major auctions.

Thus, there was a saying in the Merchant Continent.

As long as you possess sufficient Sovereign Spiritual Liquid, you will be able to
buy anything you want. That saying was overbearing, but it showed the foundation of
the Merchant Continent. This continent wasn’t vast in size, but it was extremely
complicated.

There was an endless amount of forces of various sizes.

Besides, the majority of the auctions here had quite the background behind them.

So, although there were many treasures gathered here, not many would dare to be
reckless. Rumour had it that a few hundred years ago, there was a huge figure from
a dominant force that had his eyes on a treasure.

However, he failed to obtain it in the auction in the end and tried to snatch it
from the auction.

He managed to seize it from the auction manager and his auction opponent by having
them killed before freely leaving. This incident shook the entire Merchant
Continent back then, and shortly after, they made a response.

In just a few dozen days, the force behind that huge figure experienced being
surrounded by all sorts of powerful forces.

That figure’s force was gravely injured, and even that huge figure was heavily
wounded.

In the end, he had no other choice but to hand over that treasure in a miserable
state and paid a considerable price as repayment before he could calm the matter.
After that incident, no one dared to ignore the rules of the Merchant Continent
anymore
do not kill others in the auction to seize treasures. Because of the perfected
rules of the Merchant Continent, that was the reason why the fame of it could grow
more radiant in the Great Thousand World over the past few years.

Innumerable people that sought treasures came here to search for the treasures of
their hearts. And Mu Chen had obtained news of the Void Great Solar Fruit and the
Undying Divine Leaf here. … lMerchant City, the central city of the Merchant
Continent.

Based on the size, it should be the most majestic city in the Merchant Continent,
it was also located at the centre of this continent. When Mu Chen appeared outside
the Merchant City, the shock could not be covered on his face when he saw the
majestic city. The city walls were a few hundred feet tall, and the pitch-black
city walls’ surface was flickering with chilling lustre.

The city walls extended to the point that even at the end of one’s sight, there
weren’t any traces of the walls’ edge.

Colossal flickering runes could be seen on the city walls as they fluctuated with
dreadful Spiritual Energy ripples that made the hearts of others race.

Above the city was a massive light pillar that soared into the sky, forming a
shield of light that shone down, enveloping the entire city. The only way to enter
the city was through the city walls, any method of descending from the sky would
activate the massive array in the city, and they would be considered as an
intruder. “What a fearsome array. ”Mu Chen looked at the sizable array in the sky
of the city with a heavy gaze.

The array was myriads of feet in size, flickering with many light patterns that
vaguely formed into a complicated Spiritual Array. “Rumor has it that it is a
Spiritual Array that was laid down by a Spiritual Array Ancestor, even Earth
Sovereigns would have a hard time breaking it in a short time. ” Nine Nether smiled
as she stood beside Mu Chen. “Spiritual Array Ancestor. ” Mu Chen inwardly smacked
his lips.

It was a great existence comparable to Earth Sovereigns.

The Merchant City truly was formidable.

They could actually hire such a formidable figure to lay a protective Spiritual
Array for them. “Let’s go into the city.

The two items that you seek should be auctioned today.

But I’m not certain if we could get our hands on them. ” Nine Nether let out a
helpless smile.

The Void Great Solar Fruit and Undying Divine Leaf treasures were of extreme
rarity, they would definitely cost a huge price to obtain them from auctions like
these.

Also, it might not be of certain success to get them. Those that came to seek
treasures in the Merchant Continent would all have extraordinary backgrounds. Mu
Chen nodded his head as he rubbed the Mustard Seed Bracelet on his wrist and
sighed.

Luckily, he got Nine Nether to slightly remove the seal on the Spiritual Condensing
Bowl and managed to obtain a portion of the Sovereign Spiritual Liquid in it.

Generally speaking, it was a considerable sum, but even so, he wasn’t too confident
in obtaining the two treasures that he needed. But, no matter what, since he
managed to get the news of those two, it wasn’t possible for him to let go of them
so smoothly. Mu Chen clenched his teeth.

He even managed to obtain the cultivation technique of the Great Solar Undying
Body.

So he refused to believe that he would be stopped from obtaining the materials

required for it!Nine Nether patted Mu Chen’s shoulder as she strode her long legs
into the city.
She attracted a considerable amount of gazes along the way.

Her figure was tall and slim, she also possessed extreme beauty.

Also, her slender eyes that would be even more alluring when she narrowed them
possessed an untamable wildness.

And, sometimes for men, that wildness would bring great pleasure upon taming it.
Sensing those heated gazes, Nine Nether slightly knitted her brows and, shortly
after, she extended her hand to grab onto Mu Chen’s arm as she walked. The ample
soft sensation coming from his arm made Mu Chen slightly stunned.

He soon sensed the ill gazes coming from the surroundings directed at him as he
helplessly curled his lips.

He had been used again. However, that can be considered as welfare. Along with
envious fortune, Mu Chen and Nine Nether walked into the extremely majestic city.

Upon entering the city, Nine Nether immediately let go of Mu Chen’s arm, not giving
him the slightest chance to take advantage of her. “Heartless. ” Mu Chen spoke out.
Hearing his words, Nine Nether’s face was filled with smiles as she moved closer to
Mu Chen and teased, “You want to take advantage of this Big Sister so much? Sure,
when your strength surpasses mine, I’ll even let you carry me to the bedroom.

But when requesting such a condition, you must be sure that your little body can
take it. ”Mu Chen rolled his eyes as this ‘Big Sister’ was too open-minded. He, who
was defeated, started to sweep his gaze over this majestic city.

The population of this city reached a dreadful degree, even a wide street was
filled with people walking. The two sides of the street were filled with all sorts
of stores and vast Spiritual Energies that seeped from those places.

Evidently, this showed that those items were definitely not simple. This scene made
Mu Chen sigh.

Those were just ordinary stores, and it was already so extraordinary, how high
quality would those genuine auctions be?“We’ll head directly for the auction house.
” Mu Chen looked at Nine Nether.

He was already in a hurry to see the two treasures that he had been yearning for
day and night. “Okay. ”Nine Nether did not refute his suggestion and nodded her
head.

Under the massive flow of people, the two of them paced towards the centre of the
city. The stores that they passed by were filled with lustrous glows, making Mu
Chen continuously turn his head from the boundless Spiritual Energies that were
being emitted.

Some treasures even made his heart move.

If it wasn’t for saving his strength for the two treasures, he might not be able to
endure from buying them. It took a full half an hour for them to walk. In the
distant location, a grand auction house could already be seen.

It stood towering in the centre of the city.

It was the biggest auction house in Merchant City. Looking at the outline of the
auction house from far away, Mu Chen’s heart blazed as he quickened his steps.
He suddenly heard a commotion coming from the side and slightly shifted his head
over.

Looking from the situation, a fatty who seemed like the owner of the store roared
with his face flushed red, “To mess around in the Merchant City, are you tired of
living?”Before the fatty stood a white-clothed youth that was holding onto a fan.

His complexion was fair, and he looked gorgeous as he spoke in a soft tone, “What
are you shouting for? Wasn’t it just a hundred-year-old spiritual fruit that I have
eaten…?”When he spoke, his voice was exceptionally crisp and sweet, which made Mu
Chen stunned as he gave another glance at the youth.

He discovered a disguised façade.

That slender figure he possessed and his exquisite face looked a little beautiful.
“Pay up then! That hundred-year-old spiritual fruit cost two hundred Sovereign
Spiritual Liquids, pay for it then!” The fatty’s face was ashen-grey as he roared.

Earlier, when he saw the young man, he found the temperament of that young man
being extraordinary, and he thought that the young man was a young master of a
sect.

But he never knew that upon taking out the hundred-year-old spiritual fruit, that
young man would eat it directly after taking a look at it!The lady who was
disguised as a man had her face slightly flushed red as she spoke, “I… I have
forgotten to bring any Sovereign Spiritual Liquid, I’ll give it to you next time.
”Hearing her words, those in the surroundings couldn’t help having the corners of
their mouths twitch.

That boss was rather unfortunate. Mu Chen couldn’t help smiling as he found that
lady quite interesting. “If you don’t hand over the Sovereign Spiritual Liquids,
don’t dream on leaving.

I think you must be tired of living to act so wildly in Merchant City!” The fat
owner roared with anger as he waved his hand.

Following his gesture, guards aggressively charged forth. Looking at the situation,
the white-clothed girl had her brows furrowed as she said, “You dare! Do you
believe that I won't get my father to tear this rubbish place apart?!”The owner
laughed from extreme anger.

This little con girl must not know the immensity of the heavens and earth to
actually speak such words in Merchant City. However, just when he was about to act,
Mu Chen who had been standing amongst the crowd for a long time threw out a jade
bottle as he spoke, “Here are 200 Sovereign Spiritual Liquids. ”The owner was
stunned as he took the jade bottle.

After inspecting it, his face was replaced by a friendly smile before glaring at
the white-clothed girl, “Consider yourself lucky!”“Bastard!” The white-clothed lady
stomped her feet in anger as she gritted her teeth.

She hadn’t suffered such grievances in her entire lifetime. Mu Chen cast a glance
at her.

He did not have the thoughts to go up and speak as he turned around with Nine
Nether and left.

The reason why he would help was that his heart had softened.
After all, this girl might not know how troublesome it was to be involved with
troubles here. “Hey!”Mu Chen and Nine Nether did not walk too far away before a
clear voice came from his back.

The white-clothed girl hastily chased after them, her face was slightly red as she
said, “You… thanks. ”Mu Chen shook his head as he smiled, “You’re quite gusty to
actually dare to eat and drink without paying in the Merchant City. ”“I left home
in a hurry and forgot to bring any Sovereign Spiritual Liquids with me.

Earlier, I was just too careless… that hundred years spiritual fruit… the aroma of
it was too heavenly, and I couldn’t help myself from taking a bite…” The girl spoke
in anger, but as her words reached the end, she was a little guilty. “Hey, you
helped me once.

I don’t owe anyone favors, what’s your name? I will definitely return you the
Sovereign Spiritual Liquid. ” The white-clothed girl looked at Mu Chen as she
spoke. Mu Chen was about to reject her, but when he saw her sincere gaze, he
smiled, “Mu Chen. ”After that, he no longer spoke as he turned around and left. The
white-clothed girl waved her hands, “My name’s Lin Jing. ”

Chapter 652 - Lin Jing “That girl doesn’t seem to be so simple. ”“Hmm?”“She’s
younger than you, but I’m afraid her strength isn’t any weaker than your own. ”
Nine Nether narrowed her eyes as she said, “And to be able to obtain such
achievements at such an age, she naturally has very perfect guidance, so her
background mustn’t be so simple. ”A smear of shock flashed through Mu Chen’s eyes.

He actually couldn’t believe it.

That white-clothed girl had actually concealed such profound strength.

However, his thoughts didn’t linger about it that much.

In the Great Thousand World, it was a place with crouching tigers and hidden
dragons.

Without any background, how could a young girl like her dare to act so wildly in
the outside world?“I didn’t think much about it. ” Mu Chen smiled.

He didn’t think so profoundly when he helped earlier, he just didn’t wish to see a
beautiful girl being involved with unnecessary trouble. After all, he heard about
how deep the water was in the Merchant Continent.

Even if that girl had a background, it probably couldn’t endure that sort of
trouble. Nine Nether smiled and did not speak anymore. The two of them passed many
streets, and through a street corner, their sights suddenly widened.

Before them stood a large palace that had a massive amount of Spiritual Energy
emitting from it, forming a pillar of light that soared into the clouds. Outside
the palace, there was a massive amount of people flowing through.

Seeing the humans flowing at that location, even Mu Chen couldn’t help being a
little dumbfounded. “Auction House of Merchant City…” Nine Nether raised her head
as she looked at the words made of golden light and smiled, “It should be this
place. ”“What a terrifying scale. ” Mu Chen sighed.

The palace was like a giant beast that opened its mouth to devour the endless flow
of people without the slightest sign of overflowing. ”This palace…”Mu Chen’s gaze
suddenly flashed when he looked at the great palace.
Astonishment grew in his eyes.

He realised a peculiar fluctuation being emitted from the great palace. “This is a
Divine Artifact. ” A smear of surprise had also flashed through Nine Nether’s eyes
as she continued, “What a huge sum, to use a Divine Artifact as an auction
house…”This palace wasn’t a building, but a Divine Artifact, so peculiar ripples
were coming from it. “Formidable. ” Mu Chen involuntarily praised. “Let’s go. ”Nine
Nether waved her hand as she led Mu Chen into the majestic palace.

Upon entering, they could clearly feel the spatial ripples around them.

Their sight had slightly blurred, before clearing up. The interior of the palace
was exceptionally well lit.

The ground seemed to have been forged with brilliant crystals.

There was a multitude of people spread around here, but even though there were so
many people gathered here, it wasn’t even slightly crowded
instead, it was abnormally vast in size.

Mu Chen walked into the palace as he looked around.

The astonished appearance he had displayed made him feel a little like a country
bumpkin.

Compared to the Spiritual Points Hall of the Northern Heavens Spiritual Academy,
this place was several times wider and was even more stunning. Nine Nether did not
stay here for long.

She had directly handed over ten drops of Sovereign Spiritual Liquid to a lady on
the counter.

She received two entry tickets to the auction as she pulled Mu Chen through the
hall, into a light door. Behind the light door was a field similar to an arena, the
size of it was enormous and was sufficient to hold tens of thousands of people.

Also, it was filled with heads.

The population in this place had reached a dreadful degree. Mu Chen pulled his
lips, but he did not make an exclamation, since he was already numb to it. Nine
Nether searched for seats, while Mu Chen shifted his head.

He was looking towards the right, not too far away.

There was another light door as many silhouettes walked in. When those people
walked in, Mu Chen could clearly sense many gazes directed over with a little heat
in their eyes. Mu Chen looked over as well as he saw a foxy lady with an
exceptionally alluring and explosive figure.

Her hair was red and an alluring smile hung on her oval face that rippled the
hearts of those that looked at her. The lady was twisting her waist like a snake as
she walked, and as she strode, she attracted many gazes. Behind the girl was an
ordinary-looking middle-aged man.

When he walked, he maintained a step distance from the lady.

When he occasionally raised his head, heart-alarming rays of light flashed through
his eyes. Mu Chen looked at that middle-aged man, and his heart slightly shook.
He felt pressure from the latter.

The middle-aged man that seemed ordinary had a mighty strength, he had probably at
least reached the level of Fourth Grade Sovereign. “They are from the Celestial Fox
Sect.

The Celestial Fox Sect is a peak power in the Merchant Continent with powerful
strength.

Many of the auction houses in this continent has their traces in it. ” A light
voice came from Nine Nether, who was by Mu Chen’s side. “That lady should have a
significant position in the Celestial Fox Sect.

Otherwise, she wouldn’t have a Fourth Grade Sovereign following her. ”“Celestial
Fox Sect…”Mu Chen imprinted that name into his heart, it could be considered the
first dominant force that he had heard of since entering the Great Thousand World.
When Mu Chen and Nine Nether were looking over, they were sensed by the middle-aged
man that stood beside the foxy lady.

He raised his head, glancing at Mu Chen and Nine Nether.

When his gaze stopped on Nine Nether, he couldn’t help stopping his steps. Although
his actions were small, it was noticed by the foxy lady, and she looked over,
fixing her gaze on Mu Chen and Nine Nether with her alluring gaze. Facing that
alluring gaze, Mu Chen felt his heart beating faster.

It was so much so that even the blood in his body flowed faster.

But, quickly, he sensed that something wasn’t right.

He focused his gaze, and a roar of thunder seemed to be ringing out from his body
as he suppressed that strange feeling. “Hmm?”That foxy lady slightly exclaimed and
she no longer made any actions.

She only revealed a slight smile at Mu Chen and Nine Nether.

After that, she walked to the front of the auction house, and under the countless
heated gazes, she walked into a small pavilion that was covered with tulle.

Clearly, it wasn’t a place that just anyone that was ordinary could enter. After
entering the pavilion, the foxy lady revealed a slight smile as she spoke, “Uncle
Liu, those two seem unfamiliar.

They shouldn’t be from the Merchant Continent. ”“That lady is very powerful.

I’m afraid that her strength isn’t any weaker than mine.

As for that youth, he should have just stepped into the Sovereign Realm.

Having such an achievement at his age is also pretty good,” said the ordinary-
looking middle-aged man. Hearing the middle-aged man claiming that Nine Nether’s
strength wasn’t any weaker than his own, the foxy lady felt surprised.

However, her expression quickly returned to normal as she nodded her head, without
speaking any further. “Stop looking, with your current ability, I’m afraid she
might not even look at you. ” Looking at Mu Chen staring at the foxy lady, Nine
Nether lightly snorted. Mu Chen was helpless and didn’t bother to explain.
Just when he found a place to sit down, he heard a familiar evident roar of anger
coming from not far away, “Get lost, this young master is not interested in
guys!”Mu Chen was surprised as he looked over.

He saw a white-clothed girl disguised as a man at another door to the auction, her
face was cold at the moment. Before her, stood a similarly white-clothed youth.

That youth looked a little feminine, but his appearance was also handsome.

At this moment, his face wasn’t too natural from the roar of the white-clothed
girl. Earlier, when he saw that girl, although she was disguised as a man, he was
someone experienced in chasing after flowers.

Thus, he could see through the disguise with an eye.

Furthermore, the girl had a delicate feature that was emitting a charming
spirituality.

When she grows up in the future, she would definitely possess an earth-shattering
appearance.

That was the reason why he went up to strike a conversation.

But he never expected that before he could even speak, he was shouted at without
the slightest politeness. “Haha, you must have misunderstood me, lady.

I am not with bad intentions, I just want to invite you together to watch the
auction, seeing that you’re alone. ” But this feminine youth also wasn’t any
ordinary playboy.

Even after being roared at, he still maintained a gentle smile as he spoke with
elegance. “Not interested. ”However, his courtesy attitude wasn’t practical to the
white-clothed girl.

The girl only gave him a glance, rejected him straight up, and left. The feminine
youth finally slightly knitted his brows. Standing behind him was a black-clothed
elder.

He did not have any expression on his face as he blocked the path of the white-
clothed girl and spoke in a faint voice, “My young master has invited this lady,
you should agree to it. ”Seeing the situation, the white-clothed girl frowned her
brows in an instant.

However, just when she was about to push a palm out, a hand had extended before her
and held onto her wrist. The sudden contact made the white-clothed girl turn stiff
and wanted to swiftly struggle free.

However, when she saw the familiar face that she had previously encountered, only
then did she weaken her struggles. “Haha, my little sister is ignorant, I hope the
two of you will not mind her. ” Mu Chen stood before the white-clothed girl as he
gave a gentle smile towards the youth and black-clothed elder. The feminine youth
narrowed his eyes as he stared at Mu Chen, before casting a glance at Nine Nether,
who stood beside him.

Ib an instant, a lustre glowed from the depth of his eyes. But before he could say
anything, the black-clothed elder took half a step forth as he blocked the youth
and Nine Nether.

When looking at the latter, he had his guard up in his eyes. Clearly, he had sensed
the threat from Nine Nether. Looking at this scene, the feminine youth slightly
frowned his brows as he gave a look of a smile yet not a smile to Mu Chen and Nine
Nether.

He did not continue speaking, but turned around and left with a faint smile.

Furthermore, the area that he walked towards was a pavilion at the most front of
the auction. “The background of those two isn’t simple.

If I am not wrong, they should be from the Sky Profound Palace of the Skylaw
Continent. ” Looking at their silhouettes, Nine Nether spoke in a soft voice. “Sky
Profound Palace?”“That’s also one of the peak forces of our Skylaw Continent.

It's not any weaker than our Great Havenlaw Domain,” said Nine Nether. Mu Chen
helplessly shook his head.

He never thought that before reaching the Skylaw Continent, he had already offended
a peak force.

Although that feminine youth displayed generosity, he knew that that person’s heart
probably wasn’t that big. “Hey, let go of me!” The white-clothed girl named Lin
Jing quickly broke free from Mu Chen’s grasp when she saw the departure of those
two.

She held onto her wrist as she stared at Mu Chen with spirituality filled in her
pupils. Mu Chen loosened his grip as he helplessly said, “You’re truly a demoness
at causing trouble wherever you go. ”Hearing his words, Lin Jing unhappily pouted
her mouth as she said with a little grievance, “How have I caused trouble? I don’t
even know that bastard!”“Furthermore, that bastard actually dared to take advantage
of this young master.

This is too fed up, I must tell dad about this! No, I must tell Uncle Leopard and
Uncle Tiger! Let them thrash that bastard to death for me!”Lin Jing clenched her
teeth as she continued to curse.

He’s probably the first one that dared to take advantage of her the instant he met
her and a bastard that still had such a good feeling about himself. Hearing the
girl’s curses, Mu Chen helplessly flung his mouth as he no longer bothered with her
and left for the front together with Nine Nether. Seeing Mu Chen leaving, Lin Jing
slightly hesitated, before quickly following him.

Chapter 653 - Auction The auction house was filled with people, but it wasn’t the
slightest bit crowded.

The planning was clearly well-planned.

Mu Chen and Nine Nether sat at a location close to the front. The seat was forged
from jade stones, and the surface was covered in soft fur.

When sitting on it, one could vaguely sense faint Spiritual Aura pouring into his
body.

Clearly, the jade stone and soft fur weren’t ordinary. This auction house could not
be compared those that Mu Chen had seen before. After Mu Chen and Nine Nether sat
down, the girl named Lin Jing also sat beside them.

The appearance of that girl was extremely beautiful, her skin was as fair as jade
and was as exquisite as porcelain.

Even when she had disguised herself as a man, there was a strange beauty on her
that made her look rather lovely to others.

However, Mu Chen gave her a stare when he saw her following them. “Don’t chase me
away, I’m just here to take a look. ” Seeing Mu Chen’s stare, Lin Jing quickly
crossed her fingers as she spoke pitifully.

Except that her eyes were filled with slyness and spirituality, like a little fox.
However, Mu Chen did no eat and said in an unpleasant tone, “Stop acting. ”“It’s
fate that we met, you're too heartless. ” Lin Jing spoke in a huff. “Since you’ve
come, then sit together with us.

But you can’t cause any troubles. ” Nine Nether, who sat next to them, gave the
girl a glance as she smiled. “This big sister is better. ” Lin Jing sweetly praised
Nine Nether as she continued, “Rest assured, as long as others don’t provoke me, I
won’t cause any trouble. ”Mu Chen flung his lips as his eyes became filled with a
little smiling intent.

As for this lady that he had just met, he had a slightly good feeling about her.

Otherwise, he wouldn’t have helped her twice. But he had to say, beautiful girls
did have some advantages, although he didn’t have any other thoughts about her.
Once the three of them sat down, Lin Jing couldn’t endure from being bored as she
regularly chatted with Mu Chen.

However, her voice was clear and crisp, similar to jade pearls falling onto the
silver plate.

Her voice was very pleasant to the ears and hearing it was a form of enjoyment. The
personality displayed by this girl wasn’t as serene as her name
instead, she was spiritual and straightforward. As they conversed, Mu Chen saw
waves of those originating from unordinary forces arriving.

The status of those people was rather high, since they had directly entered those
small pavilions in the auction house. Clearly, this current auction had attracted
many of the heavyweights over. “There are at least five rather well-known forces
coming to this auction house.

But the ones that I feel threatening are only those fellows from the Sky Profound
Palace. ”Nine Nether softly said, “The status of those fellows from the Sky
Profound Palace is quite high.

The strength of that black-clothed elder is powerful.

I’m afraid that he might have even reached Fifth Grade Sovereign Realm.

With that strength, they are basically Elders in the Sky Profound Palace. ”

“Fifth Grade Sovereign Realm?” Mu Chen blinked his eyes as his expression became a
little grave.

To be able to have an escort of an expert of that level, looks like that feminine
youth was quite important in the Sky Profound Palace. If those fellows were also
here for the Void Great Solar Fruit and the Undying Divine Leaf, the situation
today wouldn’t be so fun.

Although Mu Chen had a sum of Sovereign Spiritual Liquids on hand due to the
Spiritual Condensing Bowl, with the Sky Profound Palace behind that fellow, he’s
probably not easy to deal with either. “That bastard is from the Sky Profound
Palace?” Hearing their discussion, Lin Jing softly snorted as she continued,
“What’s so great about them? Don’t worry, if he dares to cause any trouble to you,
I’ll teach him a lesson!”Looks like she was angered by the fellow that dared to
take advantage of her. “Thanks, then. ” Mu Chen rolled his eyes impolitely at her
words.

Clearly, he only treated her words as ramblings.

After all, the Sky Profound Palace was a peak force in the Skylaw Continent, with
overpowering strength. Mu Chen’s attitude angered the girl to the point that she
frowned her brows.

However, after recalling that she had snuck out of her house without anyone by her
side, she snorted with her teeth clenched together, “Short-sighted!”As time passed,
the atmosphere in the auction had gradually reached the peak.

A pillar of light shot up from the centre of the auction house, and, vaguely, there
was the ringing of bells that resounded. Countless gazes were directed over. In the
pillar of light, a white-robed elder appeared.

The elder had white hair and beard with a solemn expression.

There wasn’t any smile on his face, giving others a stern feeling.

Generally speaking, those with such attitudes were unsuitable to host the auction
house.

But when he appeared, the voices in the auction house became a lot more silent, and
followed by sighs. “This auction is actually hosted by Master Mo Qing.

Looks like the standard isn’t low. ”“Yeah, Master Mo Qing is the Lead Auctioneer
Master in Merchant City.

He can tell real treasures from fake ones with a glance.

He wouldn’t just come out for regular auctions. ”“Looks like it was a correct
decision to come this time. ”“…”Hearing the surrounding whispers, shock was
revealed from Mu Chen’s eyes as he cast a glance at the white-robed elder.

He never imagined the latter to have such great fame. “The strength or that elderly
man is probably somewhere around Third Grade Sovereign Realm. ” Nine Nether spoke
as she looked at the white-robed elderly man. Mu Chen was dumbstruck.

This truly was the Great Thousand World.

Just the Lead Auctioneer had the cultivation of Third Grade Sovereign Realm.

If he was in the Northern Heavens Spiritual Academy, he could become the highest
leveled Elder. But, clearly, even in this place, this Master Mo Qing had an
extraordinary position as well. Within the whispers that filled the entire field,
Master Mo Qing swept his gaze around and stopped on some pavilions.

He then cupped his fists.

“I bid my greetings, let us begin today’s auction. ”“Perhaps everyone knows my

rules.
The auction hosted by me will only have ten items to auction.

But I believe that everyone will be satisfied with the quality. ”The white-robed
elderly man’s tone was a little arrogant, but no one dared to refute his words.

They were probably aware of this master’s rules. “Interesting. ”Mu Chen smiled.

This was still the first time he had encountered such an auctioneer of this
personality.

Only auctioning ten items? Seems like those items should have already gone through
a thorough selection process that aroused the curiosity in his heart. He wanted to
see how rare the ten items chosen by this master would be. Under the countless
gazes held with expectations, the white-robed elderly man waved his hand, and a
lumpy light ball appeared.

Within the light ball, there was a small boat.

The small ship was radiating with endless light, and vaguely, there were spatial
ripples emitted from it. “This is a Spatial Ship, a Low Rank Divine Artifact
without any offensive capabilities.

Under the maximum speed, it is hard for even a Sixth Grade Sovereign to chase after
it. ” Master Mo Qingfaintly said with a smile. “The starting bid is 2000 Sovereign
Spiritual Liquids. ”A commotion broke out in the entire field. It was actually an
agility-based Divine Artifact.

Although it was only Low Rank, and without any offensive capabilities, the speed
was something that not even a Sixth Grade Sovereign Realm could be compared to,
making everyone a little shocked. As long as one possessed this Divine Artifact,
escaping was an easy feat, if one encountered a hunt. Although this Divine Artifact
didn’t have any offensive capabilities, the speed was enough to make up for it. Mu
Chen’s eyes were also heated when he looked at it.

But the price of 2000 Sovereign Spiritual Liquids could only make him think about
it.

After all, the amount of Sovereign Spiritual Liquids he had on hand wasn’t enough
for him to throw them out as he wished.

He had to wait for the two treasures that he required to appear. “2100!”Many
experts had an idea about the Spatial Ship.

After all, life was the most essential factor in this world.

As long as they had a treasure that could aid them in escaping, their safety would
be more secured. “2300!”“2500!”“. . . ”In just a minute, the price of this Spatial
Ship had risen from 2000 Sovereign Spiritual Liquids to 3000 before the bidding
gradually slowed down.

After all, 3000 Sovereign Spiritual Liquids wasn’t a small sum.

Even if it was a Fifth Grade Sovereign expert, it would require nearly half a year
of refining before they could accumulate that sum. In the end, the Spatial Ship was
sold for a price of 3100 Sovereign Spiritual Liquids to a skinny middle-aged man.
Mu Chen also inwardly sighed as he watched.

Looks like coming to this auction house wasn’t for nothing, just this treasure
alone was sufficient to widen his eyes. “Second auctioning item…”After that bidding
ended, another ball of light rose from the white-robed elder with a grasp of his
hand.

In the ball of light, it was a red fiery liquid that looked like magma.

As it flowed, flames were wriggling and was emitting a particularly high

temperature that instantly raised the temperature in this auction house. “This is a
Heavenly Flame Chalcedony, a fire jade refined from the deepest part of the magma
ocean.

It was refined for ten thousand years by fire jade before forming into chalcedony.

It is a requirement for those powerful Celestial Bodies amongst the 99 Rankings of

Sovereign Celestial Body. ”“Starting bid, 1000 Sovereign Spiritual Liquids.
”Countless gazes were directed over.

This Heavenly Flame Chalcedony was an extraordinary object.

However, due to the limitation of its usage, only those cultivating Sovereign
Celestial Bodies required it. Mu Chen cast a glance before retracting it.

Clearly, he wasn’t too interested in it, and shortly after, he turned his head and
was stunned.

He saw Lin Jing staring at the Heavenly Flame Jade Chalcedony as she bit on her
lips.

She actually had her eyes on this item. However, Lin Jing, who was staring at it,
quickly lowered her head, since she didn’t have that much Sovereign Spiritual
Liquid to bid for it.

Although she needed that item, she did not recklessly ask Mu Chen for help.

After all, she was well-aware that 1000 Sovereign Spiritual Liquids wasn’t a small
amount to anyone. She bit her lips as she turned her head away.

She could only calm her heart by not looking at it. Mu Chen caught her actions from
the corner of his eyes and couldn’t help smiling.

However, he still remained seated as he rubbed on the armrest of the chair, not
having any intentions to help.

Chapter 654 - Void Great Solar Frui t“1200!”“1500!”“…”Although the Heavenly Flame
Jade Chalcedony was uncommon, it was, after all, an unusual treasure.

Thus, many people had their eyes set on it, and in just a minute, the price was
already raised to around 1700 Sovereign Spiritual Liquids. Lin Jing sat in the
chair depressed as she placed her hands on her cheek.

Her teeth were clenched as he looked at those fellows intensely snatching it as she
spoke with resentment, “If it wasn’t for me leaving in such a hurry, I’d have
smashed those fellows to death with Sovereign Spiritual Liquids!”Mu Chen was
resting his arm on the armrest as he looked around.

He realised that those people that were interested in the Heavenly Flame Jade
Chalcedony didn’t seem to be from those significant forces, which could be seen
from their bids.
Those that were wealthy wouldn’t play around with so little price. This realisation
made Mu Chen feel slightly relieved. The price continued to rise for a few minutes
before it stopped at 2300 Sovereign Spiritual Liquids. Seeing as the bid started to
end, the white-robed elderly man waited awhile.

He raised his hand and was about to announce the results.

At this moment, the white-clothed girl had already turned her face over in anger.
“2500. ” Mu Chen finally said with a smile. Some gazes were shot over, but those
gazes were a little strange.

Even Lin Jing was baffled as she turned her head around and looked at Mu Chen.

She bit her lips and was mumbling about something. The man that raised the bid to
2300 earlier knitted his brows together.

He hesitated for a brief moment and did not bid anymore in the end as the price had
far exceeded his budget. Looking at the situation, the white-clothed elder waved
his hand, which was followed by a ringing bell that resonated in the auction house,
representing that the Heavenly Flame Jade Chalcedony had been successfully bid. The
auction carried on. The pupils of the white-clothed girl were spinning, her face
was a little embarrassed at this moment as she fanned the fan in her hand. She did
not ask why Mu Chen would purchase the Heavenly Flame Jade Chalcedony, since she
didn’t want to have wishful thoughts and be embarrassed later on. Mu Chen held an
attitude to watch the show for a long while, seeing that she had actually endured
asking, he couldn’t help smiling as he said, “That was indeed for you. ”Lin Jing’s
face flushed red as she said, “Thanks for that.

I am also cultivating my Sovereign Celestial Body, but I need many types of Jade
Chalcedony…”Hearing her words, Nine Nether took another glance at Lin Jing and a
strange light flashed in the depths of her eyes.

She had caught onto the words of that girl, about needing many types of Jade
Chalcedony. Although several Sovereign Celestial Body cultivation techniques did
require stuff like the Heavenly Flame Jade Chalcedony, there weren’t many Sovereign
Celestial Bodies that needed many types of Jade Chalcedony.

Take the 63rd ranking of the 99 Ranks of Sovereign Celestial Bodies, the Heavenly
Jade Celestial Body, for example.

This was a Sovereign Celestial Body that required many types of Jade Chalcedonies
as ingredients, and the Heavenly Flame Jade Chalcedony was just one of them.

If Lin Jing was genuinely making preparations to cultivate the Heavenly Jade
Celestial Body, then her background would be frightening.

Even for Seventh to Eighth Grade Sovereign experts, such a Sovereign Celestial Body
rank was extremely attractive. Also, although the Heavenly Jade Celestial Body
wasn’t a high-ranking powerful Celestial Body, it was perfect for those who had
just stepped into the Sovereign Realm. If the Sovereign Celestial Body was too
powerful, it would naturally be tough to control it
whereas if it were too weak, I would be useless.

Thus, her family members had typically carefully considered everything before
letting her cultivate the Heavenly Jade Celestial Body. Mu Chen did not consider it
as much as Nine Nether
after all, he wasn’t too familiar with Sovereign Celestial Bodies.
 On the spot, he asked from little curiosity, “Your family members did not prepare
the ingredients for you?”The girl before him clearly had a decent background.

Although the Heavenly Flame Jade Chalcedony was rare, it shouldn’t be difficult
for her to obtain it. “I want to depend on myself.

How meaningless would it be if I needed them to prepare everything for me?” Lin
Jing dragged on her cheek as she spoke while shaking her long legs. Mu Chen
helplessly shook his head. “Right, I’ve said that I would not owe anyone favours. ”
Lin Jing seemed to have recalled something as she retrieved a jade pendant hug on a
red string from her neck. The jade was white in colour, and looked as if there was
liquid flowing in it.

In general, it had an extremely aged appearance, but vaguely, indescribable

fluctuations were coming from it. “This is a Defensive Spiritual Jade.

It will be activated when you’re in danger.

As long as the opponent’s strength doesn’t exceed the Fifth Grade Sovereign Realm,
it will be able to block a fatal attack for you. ”Mu Chen and Nine Nether were
stunned, their expressions slightly changed.

It could defend against a fatal attack from a Fifth Grade Sovereign, that simple
and old pendant was actually so powerful?“Forget it, it was prepared for you by
your family.

I will not seize the loved possession of others. ” Mu Chen shook his head in the
end as he smiled, “Furthermore, I’m afraid that the price of this Defensive
Spiritual Jade far surpasses the Heavenly Flame Jade Chalcedony. ”“No way, if you
don’t want this, I will not take that Heavenly Flame Jade Chalcedony. ” However,
Lin Jing was abnormally stubborn.

She was looking at Mu Chen with a serious look, she was clearly not joking. That
girl similarly had her own principles. “Also, you don’t have to worry about me.

I still have more Defensive Spiritual Jades.

Otherwise, I wouldn’t dare to sneak out. ” Lin Jing gave Mu Chen a sly smile as
she raised her wrist at Mu Chen.

On her wrist, there was a small and old Jade Pendant hung on her pearly-white
wrist. Mu Chen was speechless as he sighed in the end.

Kids from wealthy families truly were fortunate, they could even wear such
precious Defensive Spiritual Jades on their bodies.

This made him feel naked.

if it weren’t for the Spiritual Condensing Bowl that he managed to obtain with
luck, he wouldn’t even have any money to enter this place…“Here. ” Lin Jing handed
the Defensive Spiritual Jade over to Mu Chen. “So in the end, it was me that
benefitted from this. ” Mu Chen bitterly smiled.

He did not reject any further and extended his hand to take the Defensive
Spiritual Jade as he sighed with complicated feelings. “There’s no need to sigh.

Mu Chen, you’re indeed a friend!” Lin Jing smiled as she gave Mu Chen a thumbs-up.

Her thumb was as round as a pearl, it was cute. Clearly, Mu Chen bidding the
Heavenly Flame Jade Chalcedony for her earlier raised some good feelings in Lin
Jing’s heart.

After all, not just anyone would spend over 2000 Sovereign Spiritual Liquids for
an item that they wouldn’t need after knowing them for such a short time.
Furthermore, she was intelligent and had sensed that Mu Chen wasn’t someone that
could disregard 2000 Sovereign Spiritual Liquids.

This was the main reason why it was hard to be valued. Although she was young, her
experience far surpassed Mu Chen’s imagination.

She wasn’t someone lacking in insight. Mu Chen received the Defensive Spiritual
Jade and stored it, but he did not talk to Lin Jing, who was more and more excited.

He raised his head to look forward.

In the time that they conversed, three or four items had already been successfully
auctioned. Those treasures weren’t ordinary items, there were Divine Artifacts and
Divine Arts, thus attracting a fight over them, which raised the atmosphere of the
auction house higher. However, the Void Great Solar Fruit and Undying Divine Leaf
that Mu Chen had been waiting for had yet to appear. This made his brows knit
together, since he knew that the price would get higher the more it was further at
the back.

Naturally, the main point was that those heavyweights in the pavilions had yet to
take any action yet. Because of a seal of the Spiritual Condensing Bowl being
unsealed, he had a total of 18,000 Sovereign Spiritual Liquids.

It wasn’t a small amount, but he didn’t have any confidence in getting the two
remaining treasures. Time gradually passed under Mu Chen’s slow wait.

After seven items had been successfully auctioned out, Mu Chen’s eyes abruptly lit
up. He saw a brilliant light in the hand of the white-clothed elder on the stage.

That light was as intense as the sun as it brightly lit up the entire auction
house. A peculiar ripple spread out. The entire auction house instantly went into
silence as every gaze was directed at the light of the intense sun.

In the depths of the fire, they could vaguely see a fruit that was blazing with
white flames as the endless light was emitted from it. Mu Chen’s eyes were heated
as he stared at that fruit, his entire body had straightened up, excitement filled
his head, since he had finally found the Void Great Solar Fruit. When Mu Chen was
staring at the Void Great Solar Fruit, some commotions were coming from the several
pavilions in the front.

Gazes were shot out.

Clearly, they had been attracted by it. “This is the Void Great Solar Fruit, I
believe everyone has heard of it before.

If one is able to refine it, it will form a spiritual sun in his or her Sovereign
Sea.

Under the shining the spiritual sun, it would mix the power of the blazing sun
into the Spiritual Energies in the Sovereign Sea, making it even more powerful. ”“I
will not speak of how rare it is, the starting bid of this Void Great Solar Fruit
will begin at 7000 Sovereign Spiritual Liquids!” When his words fell, it attracted
many commotions.
 The price of it was so high that made many people stopped their steps, but they
couldn’t lower their gazes.

After all, there weren’t many treasures that could increase the power of Spiritual
Energies. “7000 Sovereign Spiritual Liquids. ”Hearing that price, Mu Chen’s heart
sank.

It was only the starting bid, if he wanted to get his hands on it, he would
naturally have to go through an intense fight for it.

At that time, who knew what it would be priced at. Haaa. Mu Chen inhaled a
mouthful of air as his gaze grew sharp.

No matter what, he definitely couldn’t give up so easily. If he lost this chance

now, who knew how long he would have to wait to cultivate the Great Solar Undying
Body.

Chapter 655 - Competition An endless source of light enveloped the huge auction
house.

At this point in time, it was tough to conceal the innumerable heated gazes.

The rarity of this Void Great Solar Fruit far surpassed the Heavenly Flame Jade
Chalcedony from before. Mu Chen was also one of them that had a heated gaze.

He quickly calmed his heart as he inhaled a mouthful of air.

His body was tense as he stared at the auction house.

Shortly after, he slightly narrowed his eyes as he saw a commotion coming from the
few pavilions up ahead, which made his heart heavy.

Indeed, as he had expected, those heavyweights also had their eyes on the Void
Great Solar fruit. This sort of treasure that could boost the strength of any
Sovereign was pretty tempting. On the auction platform, Mo Qing looked at the
commotion below as he spoke in an indifferent voice, “Ladies and gentlemen, let us
begin the auction. ”As he spoke, the entire auction house turned to silence.

7000 Sovereign Spiritual Liquids wasn’t a small amount.

Thus, there weren’t many competitors, so now that it’s starting, many of them could
only watch. However, that silence did not last for long and was finally broken by
someone. “7300!”The one that spoke out was a middle-aged man who had a pair of
sharp and cold eyes with powerful Spiritual Energy fluctuating around him.

Cleary, he possessed considerable strength. “7500!”Not long after he placed his

bid, he was soon outbid. “7800!”The following price immediately broke the silence
as the entire auction house was filled with commotion.

Some experts couldn’t hold back on the Void Great Solar Fruit and started to call
out prices. In barely a few minutes, the price had already risen to as high as 8500
Sovereign Spiritual Liquids.

The price made the eyes of many turn red.

After all, such a massive amount of Sovereign Spiritual Liquids could allow them to
speed up their cultivation by several times. When the price reached this point, the
amount of those that could compete for it decreased.

However, everyone knew that the real crocodiles would appear next. “9500. ”An
indolent and flirtatious voice rang out.

When that voice resounded, nearly everyone had turned their heads towards a
pavilion up ahead.

The tulle was split apart, and a bewitching face was revealed. “It’s the Heart
Fairy Fox of the Celestial Fox Sect. ”“So she’s actually interested in this Void
Great Solar Fruit. ”Looking at her bewitching beauty, whispers started to spread
out in the auction house, they must have all heard the name of this enchanting lady
before them. After the price was raised by the enchanting lady called Heart Fairy
Fox, the auction house suddenly turned quiet.

Even many of the experts that were willing to bid for it had remained in silence.

Clearly, they didn’t want to offend this lady from the Celestial Fox Sect.

At the sight of this, Mu Chen helplessly sighed in his heart as he said in a loud
voice, “10,000. ”His bid instantly cause a commotion in the auction house as many
gazes of shock were shot over.

They were all trying to guess Mu Chen’s origin

after all, not just anyone can take out 10,000 Sovereign Spiritual Liquids so
casually. Under the innumerable astonished gazes, Mu Chen maintained a calm
expression as he stared at the Void Great Solar Fruit on the auction platform, and
did not bother about anyone else. In the pavilion, Heart Fairy Fox lightly shifted
her alluring gaze at Mu Chen as a trace of shock was revealed in her eyes. Mu Chen
sensed her gaze as he turned his head over and gave her an apologetic smile. Heart
Fairy Fox returned with an alluring smile as her eyes flickered.

No one knew that she was thinking.

But looking from her actions, she actually did not have any thoughts on increasing
the price. “Haha, since Heart Fairy Fox isn’t too interested in the Void Great
Solar Fruit, then let me have it. ” When Heart Fairy Fox was silent, laughter came
from a pavilion not too far away.

The feminine-looking youth from before walked out as he cupped his hands towards
Heart Fairy Fox with a smile. “Haha, my wealth is thin, so I can’t compete for it
with everyone.

If Young Palace Master of the Sky Profound Palace is interested in it, then I’ll
have myself withdraw. ” Heart Fairy Fox pursed her lips with a slight smile when he
saw the feminine-looking youth. The feminine-looking youth elegantly bowed as he
shifted his gaze over to Mu Chen’s direction with a smile hanging on his face,
“11,000. ”Mu Chen’s brows instantly frowned from the appearance of this feminine-
looking youth. “That bastard is truly hateful. ” Lin Jing couldn’t help snorting
out for Mu Chen.

Because that feminine-looking youth had ideas about her, she was filled with
hatred for that person.

Now that he was trying to ruin Mu Chen’s matters, she couldn’t help having rage
written on her face. “Mu Chen, call out all you want! Although I don’t have any
Sovereign Spiritual Liquids on me, I have many things that can be sold. ” Lin Jing
clenched her teeth as she spoke with hatred. “No worries, I’ll play with him since
he wants to play. ”Mu Chen had a calm smile on his face, but there was a smear of
cold killing intent in his eyes.

Although this feminine-looking youth had a significant position in the Sky

Profound Palace, he refused to believe that this fellow could casually take out
tens of thousands of Sovereign Spiritual Liquids to smash him. Sovereign Spiritual
Liquids wasn’t water!But, no matter what, he had to get his hands on the Void Great
Solar Fruit. “12,000. ” Mu Chen leaned on the chair as his calm voice resonated
throughout the large auction house, causing many people to inwardly smack their
lips, they also had strange gazes.

They must have treated Mu Chen as a disciple of a particular sect. On the

pavilion, the feminine-looking youth narrowed his eyes as a chill flashed across
the depths of his eyes.

Mu Chen’s interference earlier had already aroused displeasure in his heart.

How could he not see that Mu Chen and the white-clothed girl weren’t too close?
Furthermore, that fellow had just stepped into the Sovereign Realm.

If it weren’t for that black-clothed beauty beside him, he would have long thrown
that fellow out.

But right now, he was taking an inch and wanting a foot, competing with him.
“Young Palace Master, your motive here in the Merchant City isn’t for the Void
Great Solar Fruit. ” Just when the feminine-youth was about to increase his bid
again, the black-clothed elderly man abruptly spoke out. “I know. ” The feminine-
looking youth had his brows knitted, and he still continued to wave his hand out
along with his voice, “13,000!”“I want to see how this impudent fellow that comes
from nowhere acts!” The smear of a cold smile rose on the lips of this feminine-
looking youth.

From his point-of-view, Mu Chen was just faking it. “15,000. ”However, before his
voice stopped echoing, Mu Chen calmly raised the price again.

Furthermore, he increased it at a shocking increment of 2000 Sovereign Spiritual

Liquids. Such a colossal sum instantly caused a commotion in the entire auction.

Even the Heart Fairy Fox was looking at Mu Chen in astonishment.

The wealth and temperament of that youth aren’t ordinary. The feminine-looking
youth’s face was a little ashened as his gaze turned sharp.

He was looking at Mu Chen with an eerie gaze.

The latter was still looking at the Void Great Solar Fruit that was on the auction
platform and had not given him a single glance. The corner of the lips of that
feminine-looking youth twitched as he suppressed the killing intent in his heart,
and was about to bid again. “Young Palace Master!” The black-clothed elderly man
spoke out in a solemn voice with his brows twitched. The feminine-looking youth
clenched both his fists and teeth, and could only suppress the voice that was about
to come out from his mouth.

However, his gaze was frighteningly eerie as he spoke out in a cold voice, “Elder
Mu, remember that fellow.

Items that belong to me aren’t things that are so easily snatched by someone else.
”The black-clothed elder lightly nodded his head as a faint arc rose on the corner
of his lips, “Rest assured, Young Palace Master.
 Just treat it as him spending that huge amount of Sovereign Spiritual Liquids to
buy the Void Great Solar Fruit for you. ”The ugly expression on the feminine-
looking youth eased a little bit as he eerily smiled and did not speak anymore.
When Mu Chen raised the price to 15,000 Sovereign Spiritual Liquids, there was no
one fighting with him anymore, since they were probably all awed by his resolution.

After a short time waiting, the Void Great Solar Fruit was successfully purchased
by Mu Chen, in the end. When Mo Qing announced the bidding results, only then did
Mu Chen feel relieved in his heart.

But shortly after, he felt an eerie gaze directed at him.

He turned his head and was also looking at the feminine-looking youth with a cold
gaze. If it wasn’t for that guy, Mu Chen clearly wouldn't need to raise the price
to that height.

If that’s the case, he would still have had enough energy to compete for the
Undying Divine Lead.

But now that he had spent such a significant amount of Sovereign Spiritual
Liquids, he would apparently be a little helpless in seizing the Undying Divine
Lead. “That fellow has roused killing intent for you. ” A flash of chill blinked
across Nine Nether’s slender eyes as she suddenly said that. Mu Chen lightly nodded
his head. Although that black-clothed elderly man had the strength of a Fifth Grade
Sovereign Realm, it wasn’t an easy task for him to defeat Nine Nether.

After all, she was a genuine Divine Beast. As for the youth, he should still be at
First Grade Sovereign Realm, and if they were to fight, Mu Chen wouldn’t fear him.
Thoughts circulated in Mu Chen’s heart before he calmed down and looked at the
auction platform.

Right now, Master Mo Qing had already taken out the ninth item for auction. But as
he had expected, the ninth item for auction was the last material he needed to
cultivate the Great Solar Undying Body. The Undying Divine Leaf.

Chapter 656 - Undying Divine Leaf A sphere of light appeared on Master Mo Qing’s
old hand.

It was a palm-sized leaf.

The leaf was dark yellow in colour and had tree patterns on it.

The leaf didn't look to be out of the ordinary.

If it hadn’t been taken out by Master Mo Qing, no one would think that this item
would be the legendary Undying Divine Leaf. There’s a divine tree in this world,
the Undying Divine Tree.

The lifespan of that tree was unbelievable, it stood in between the heavens and
earth as it underwent all sorts of tribulations and still had not perished. A leaf
would grow out from this tree every one thousand years, the Undying Divine Leaf.

It was said that upon refining a Substitute Leaf from it, it could grant a
miraculous effect of having another life. This was precisely the reason why
countless experts would go after the Undying Divine Leaf.

After all, there were too many rare items in this world, but they only had one
life. Thus, every single time the Undying Divine Leaf appeared, countless experts
would compete for it.

Even if they had to pay a huge price, they wouldn’t hesitate. Innumerable people
had their gazes ablaze in the colossal auction house, many of them were drooling.

If it wasn’t for their minds telling them that fighting here would spell death,
they might have gone up to seize it. Up on the auction platform, Master Mo Qing
looked at the many greedy gazes as he spoke in a calm voice, “Undying Divine Leaf,
starting bid, 10,000 Sovereign Spiritual Liquid. ”The moment he spoke, the entire
auction went in silence.

Shortly after, the intake of chilled air resounded.

10,000 Sovereign Spiritual Liquids, not an ordinary person could fork out such a
huge sum. Such a divine item was indeed… only for those wealthy. Hearing the price,
Mu Chen was stunned for a moment as he bitterly smiled. “What shall we do?” Nine
Nether’s brows were also knitted.

The price had similarly exceeded her expectations.

Furthermore, the crucial part was that if it was to be auctioned, the price would
naturally soar. With his remaining Sovereign Spiritual Liquids, he couldn’t handle
another competition. Mu Chen sank in silence for a brief moment as he answered,
“We’ll look at the situation.

If there’s really no choice, I still have the treasures that I’ve obtained from the
Great Spiritual Academy Tournament, as well as the Divine Artifact.

If we were to convert them, we could still get a considerable amount of Sovereign

Spiritual Liquids. ”Mu Chen rubbed his forehead.

He had finally experienced how vital the Sovereign Spiritual Liquids were to the
Great Thousand World.

Back in the Northern Heavens Spiritual Academy, he had no concept of it until

today.

Only now did he understand that it was hard to advance an inch without Sovereign
Spiritual Liquids in the Great Thousand World. Although there was a significant
amount of Sovereign Spiritual Liquids in the Spiritual Condensing Bowl, the seal
was too powerful.

Even Nine Nether could only remove a portion of it.

Nine Nether helplessly nodded her head.

She had saved up quite a sum of Sovereign Spiritual Liquids back then, but they
were all used up in her tribulations.

Thus, she couldn’t provide much help right now. “You want me to contribute some
stuff to exchange for Sovereign Spiritual Liquids?” Lin Jing said quietly from the
side.

Although Mu Chen had only used over a thousand Sovereign Spiritual Liquids to buy
the Heavenly Flame Jade Chalcedony earlier, it still made her feel uneasy in her
heart. Hearing her words, Mu Chen smiled and did not give an answer. As they spoke,
the auction for the Undying Divine Leaf had begun, and just as Mu Chen had
expected, the majority of those fighting for it were those heavyweights from the
pavilions. All of them should have a great power supporting them, thus having
robust wealth as well.

So in just less than a minute, the competition had already climaxed. As for the
bid, it had already risen to 15,000 Sovereign Spiritual Liquids.

The price was already comparable to the Void Great Solar Fruit from before, and the
competition had still not ended yet. Mu Chen’s expression was calm as he watched
the competition.

When the price rose to such heights, there were only three competitors left.

Two of them were the feminine-looking youth and the Heart Fairy Fox of the
Celestial Fox Sect.

The other party was a grey-robed elderly man.

The elderly man had a gentle expression on his face, but there was a ferocious
black skull embroidered on his sleeves. “That person should be from the Demonic
Skull Mountains, an Overlord of the Skull Continent with great power.

But generally speaking, it is still slightly inferior to our Great Havenlaw Domain
and the Sky Profound Palace. ” Nine Nether revealed the identity of the grey-robed
elderly man. Mu Chen nodded his head.

The Skylaw Continent was a major continent, after all.

The forces that could be claimed as peaks in it weren’t easily comparable. But
still, the Demonic Skull Mountains wasn’t an ordinary power.

Otherwise, the grey-robed elderly man wouldn’t dare to compete with the Sky
Profound Palace and the Celestial Fox Sect so openly. “17,000 Sovereign Spiritual
Liquids. ” When Mu Chen’s attention was on the grey-robed elder, the latter spoke
out in a hoarse voice as he suddenly raised the price by 2000, attracting clicking
of tongues from the auction. “Haha, this is my last bid.

If the both of you could go any higher, then I will let it go to give the Sky
Profound Palace, and Fox Celestial Sect face. ” The grey-robed elderly man smiled
as he looked at the feminine-looking youth and Heart Fairy Fox. Heart Fairy Fox
revealed an indolent smile as she lightly shook her head, “Since Elder Gui Ku has
risen your price to this height, how can I, a small woman compete? Let Young Palace
Master Liu Ming of the Sky Profound Palace follow. ”When the feminine-looking youth
heard her words, he instantly smiled as he proudly said, “Since that’s the case,
then I’ll have to accept your invitation.

I’m afraid that it’s not so easy to seize an item that my Sky Profound Palace has
its eyes on. ”As he spoke, he cast a glance at Mu Chen’s direction as the depth of
his eyes became filled with a chill. “20,000 Sovereign Spiritual Liquids. ” Liu
Ming smiled as he looked at the Elder of the Demonic Skull Mountains. Innumerable
people inhaled a mouthful of chilled air once again.

It looked like the Sky Profound Palace truly did have their eyes on the Undying
Divine Leaf.

They were actually willing to spend such a price to obtain it.

20,000 Sovereign Spiritual Liquids, it wasn’t even the profit of a slightly smaller
force. The instant surge of 3000 made the expression of the grey-robed elderly man
to change as he sat back down.
Clearly, the price of 20,000 had far exceeded his limits. Although the Undying
Divine Leaf was indeed precious, forking out 20,000 Sovereign Spiritual Liquids for
it was too heart-aching. Seeing the results of the auction, Nine Nether couldn’t
help looking at Mu Chen.

The latter had his eyes narrowed as chill flowed into his black pupils.

But after a brief moment, he lightly shook his head. He had intended to give up.
“If you miss this, we won’t know when we will see it again, and who knows how long
you will have to delay your Sovereign Celestial Body. ” Nine Nether spoke with her
brows furrowed. “It’s too early to say a miss. ” Mu Chen smiled. “What do you
mean?” Nine Nether asked in doubt. “Because someone is greedy and wants to seize my
Void Great Solar Fruit as well. ” Mu Chen spoke calmly as he continued, “Since he
has placed his eyes on us, why can’t we place our eyes on him as well?”“You want to
fight with them?” Nine Nether blinked her eyes as she spoke out in astonishment.

She never thought that Mu Chen would be so daring. “I’m not the one that wants to
fight with them, they are the ones that want to fight with us. ” Mu Chen continued
in a light tone, “Do you have confidence in dealing with that old man?”What he
meant was the black-clothed elderly man that stood beside Liu Ming. “His strength
is at the Fifth Grade Sovereign Realm, a grade higher than mine.

However, the fighting capabilities of a Divine Beast is stronger, so he can’t do

anything to me.

But I’m afraid that I can’t kill him, either. ” Nine Nether spoke after some
considerations. “That Liu Ming’s strength is only at the First Grade Sovereign
Realm.

He should have cultivated a Sovereign Celestial Body.

From the surface, his strength is higher than mine.

So as long as you can tangle that old man, he will believe that he can deal with
me. ”Mu Chen smiled, “Judging from his auctioning means earlier, this person is
conceited and vengeful.

I have previously torn his face, so he definitely won’t let me go. ”“Looks like it
won’t be easy when we leave here. ”“Then, let them try. ” A chill flashed across
Nine Nether’s eyes.

If those fellows dared to place their eyes onto them, she wouldn’t mind letting
them know what ‘to try to seal a chicken only to end up losing the rice used to
lure it’ meant. Mu Chen smiled, but there wasn’t much warmth in his smile.

Although he didn’t want to cause any trouble, that didn’t mean that he’s afraid of
one.

If Liu Ming truly wanted to fight, then he would have a perfect excuse to borrow
his Undying Divine Leaf…He wasn’t scared of failure
at most, he could let Nine Nether transform, and they could run for their lives.

Even with the black-robed elderly man’s strength at the Fifth Grade Sovereign
Realm, he wouldn’t be able to do a thing to the speed of the Nine Netherworld Bird.
As they spoke, the auction for the Undying Divine Leaf had a result, and as
expected, it fell into the hands of Liu Ming.

With a price of 20,000, it was sufficient to make everyone withdraw. Up on the

auction platform, Master Mo Qing waved his sleeve as a bell rang, indicating that
the Undying Divine Leaf had fallen into Liu Ming’s hands. Seeing the situation, Liu
Ming smiled with satisfaction as he lightly rubbed the armrest of his chair with
his eyes narrowed.

He looked at Mu Chen’s direction as he muttered, “Brat that still smells of his

mother’s milk, you’re seeking death when you dared to snatch my stuff. ”Boom.
Another clear bell rang out in the auction hall.

In an instant, everyone straightened their bodies, even some of the pavilions had
the tulle pulled opened as many gazes fell onto the auction platform. They knew
that the main item of this auction would soon appear. Many of the various powerful
forces came for this final item. Mu Chen had also raised his head at the same time,
looking at the auction platform in curiosity.

He was curious what item could be placed after the Void Great Solar Fruit and the
Undying Divine Leaf. Under the countless heated gazes, Master Mo Qing made a
grasping gesture with his hand, and a golden light quietly appeared with a flicker,
attracting all of the attention in the auction hall.

Chapter 657 - Nine Dragons and Elephants Ar tOn the auction platform, Master Mo
Qing’s hand flickered with golden light as a golden scroll appeared.

The scroll was very ancient in appearance, as if it came from the ancient times,
and emitted a desolate aura. As the light circulated, there were illusions of
dragons and elephants forming as it unleashed a mighty prestige. Countless gazes
were fixed on the golden scroll.

They had clearly sensed how extraordinary it was. Under the countless gazes, Mo
Qing raised the golden scroll in his hand as his robust voice resounded throughout
the entire field, “This is a Divine Art developed from an ancient scripture.

It is slightly damaged, and thus, I consider this to be a Quasi-Perfect Rank Divine

Art.

However, it possesses endless potential.

If anyone could comprehend the profundity in it, I believe it’s might would be
comparable to a Perfect Rank Divine Art or even surpass it. ”“A Divine Art that
surpasses the level of Perfect Rank Divine Art?”Many hearts jolted from his words.

Generally speaking, Perfect Rank Divine Arts were considered the ultimate treasures
of those peak forces.

Only the core personnel could cultivate in it.

But right now, Mo Qing actually claimed that this Quasi-Perfect Rank Divine Art was
comparable to a Divine Art that surpasses Perfect Rank?Hearing his words, even Mu
Chen was a little startled and slightly frowned his brows.

He did not overlook a sentence spoken by Mo Qing.

That was, if anyone could successfully comprehend the profundities…“Haha, Master Mo

Qing, judging from your speech, this so-called ‘Quasi-Perfect Rank Divine Art’
isn’t so easy to cultivate. ” Just when Mu Chen was pondering, an alluring voice
rang out.
The Heart Fairy Fox of the Celestial Fox Sect spoke out while smiling.

Clearly, with her scrupulous heart, she managed to hear the crucial point. “Haha,
Heart Fairy Fox is indeed sharp. ” Mo Qing lightly smiled as he nodded his head,
“Indeed, this is a Quasi-Perfect Rank Divine Art.

Up till today, there was not a single person that has managed to successfully
cultivate it.

In my view, this is even more profound than genuine Perfect Rank Divine Arts.
”Hearing his words, a commotion broke out in the auction house.

There wasn’t a single person that had successfully cultivated it?Shortly after,
they felt relieved.

If someone had managed to cultivate this Divine Art, the owner of it would probably
not take it out to auction.

Such a powerful Divine Art was a formidable means and trump card. “Oh?” Liu Ming
smiled with his eyes narrowed as he stood up.

He looked at the golden scroll with interest as he smiled.

“I have never encountered a Divine Art that can’t be learned.

I’ll want to try it today. ”Although part of the reason why Liu Ming could achieve
First Grade Sovereign Realm at his age was depended on the resources of the Sky
Profound Palace, it also proved his own talent.

Thus, he was conceited and refused to believe that there was any Divine Art that he
couldn’t learn in this world.

A few pavilions up ahead had nearly directed their gaze over.

Although they were greatly interested in it, if it was as Mo Qing had said, that it
possessed terrifying potential, it would greatly benefit the forces behind them.
“The name of this Divine Art is called the Nine Dragons and Elephants Art, the
starting bid of this is 20,000 Sovereign Spiritual Liquids. ” Mo Qing’s indifferent
voice resonated throughout the entire auction.

The high price of it made innumerable people’s face twisted. Mu Chen was also
helpless as he pulled his lips.

Although he was extremely interested in this Nine Dragons and Elephants Art, he
couldn't compete for it. Right now, those possessing the wealth to compete for it
would probably be those experts with peak forces standing behind them. Although the
price of this Divine Art made many stare with yearning and could only hold their
step, the competition for it was even more intense than the other auctioned items.

Those that had belonged to powerful forces but were hiding their strength and
biding their time had all acted. In an instant, the auction house was filled with
heavy bidding voices.

The price had continuously risen to the point that the eyes of many others turned
red as they drooled with envy. The competition for this Nine Dragons and Elephants
Art lasted for ten-odd minutes, before it gradually came to a stop.

In the end, the price of it had reached 32,000 Sovereign Spiritual Liquids. The one
that called the highest price was Liu Ming of the Sky Profound Palace. The results
made many people sigh as this Nine Dragons and Elephants Art should’ve been Liu
Ming’s primary objective in this auction. What made others feel startled was that
the one that obtained the Nine Dragons and Elephant Art was actually this Liu Ming
from the Sky Profound Palace. The results made countless others sigh.

Looks like Liu Ming came to this auction for the Nine Dragon and Elephant Art.

Otherwise, he wouldn’t have prepared such a vast amount of Sovereign Spiritual

Liquids. Mu Chen was also inwardly smacking his lips.

At this point in time, he realised how lucky he was to be able to purchase the Void
Great Solar Fruit earlier.

Liu Ming’s primary objective wasn’t that item

otherwise, if he became reckless, it would probably be hard for Mu Chen to obtain
the Void Great Solar Fruit. After all, his foundation was still too thin. When Liu
Ming raised the price to 32,000 Sovereign Spiritual Liquids, no one fought with him
for it.

The faces of several experts changed, but they still chose to give up. In the
pavilion covered by tulle, the Heart Fairy Fox of the Celestial Fox Clan had her
brows slightly frowned as she said, “This Liu Ming is really willing.

Such a huge amount of Sovereign Spiritual Liquids will let even the Sky Profound
Palace feel pain for a while. ”“He is too conceited. ”The ordinary-looking middle-
aged man standing behind the Heart Fairy Fox lightly smiled.

“That Nine Dragons and Elephants Art is extremely strange.

It’s impossible for ordinary people to learn it.

Although Liu Ming has some talent, he’s still too lacking if he wants to learn it.
”“This Liu Ming was just ordinary in the younger generations of the Skylaw
Continent.

Compared to his elder brother, Liu Yan, he’s still too lacking. ”“Haha, Liu Yan is
the candidate for the next Palace Master of the Sky Profound Palace.

His name has been widely spread in the Skylaw Continent. ” Heart Fairy Fox said
with a smile. “Miss isn’t any weaker than him. ” The middle-aged man smiled. Heart
Fairy Fox smiled as she shifted her gaze towards another direction in the auction
hall, stopping on Nine Nether, who was seated beside Mu Chen, and spoke in a soft
voice, “That lady is also very powerful, to reach this height at her age.

I wonder, what force is she from?”“I believe Liu Ming will help us investigate
that matter,” said the middle-aged man. “Oh?” Heart Fairy Fox lightly lifted her
brows, but she understood the meaning shortly after and smiled, “This Liu Ming is a
little too daring.

I wonder if he will kick into an iron plate this time. ”As the two of them spoke,
the auction had already ended.

With the price of 32,000 Sovereign Spiritual Liquids, the Nine Dragons and
Elephants Art fell into the hands of Liu Ming. The bell rang out in the entire
auction house.

Everyone was softly sighing as they looked at Liu Ming, who was full of harvest,
with envy. Liu Ming watched the endlessly envious gazes as he let out a proud
smile.
 He enjoyed the revering gazes, they gave him a different feeling. When Liu Ming
was enjoying the gazes coming from the entire auction, Mu Chen calmly stood up from
far away, turned around and left with Nine Nether and Lin Jing without casting him
a glance. Liu Ming looked at his silhouette as a smear of chill flashed across his
eyes.

His slender fingertips were lightly streaking across the armrest of the jade stone
chair, drawing marks on the armrest in an instant.

The surface of the cut was as smooth as a mirror. “Elder Mu, send someone to watch
them.

I want to know their movements.

Although we can’t act in Merchant City, we will let them know that there are some
people that they cannot afford to offend once they leave. ” Liu Ming said with
indifference. Standing behind him, the black-robed elder slowly nodded his head.
Liu Ming smiled as he looked at the Heart Fairy Fox, who was walking out of the
pavilion from the side.

The latter’s alluring figure and prideful curves blazed flames in his heart and he
quickly left with a smile on his face. …Along with Nine Nether and Lin Jing, Mu
Chen walked out of the auction house and completed the item's transaction, taking
the items that he had purchased. Standing in the Auction Items Retrieval’s secret
chamber, Mu Chen looked at the fruit in his hand that was blazing like the sun and
felt a heavy relief.

No matter what, he had managed to obtain an ingredient.

Right now, all he lacked was the Undying Divine Leaf before he could cultivate the
Great Solar Undying Body. He had great expectations about how powerful the
Sovereign Celestial Body would be for it to require such rare treasures as
materials. “Here, for you. ”Storing the Void Great solar Fruit, he handed the
Heavenly Flame Jade Chalcedony over to Lin Jing, who was standing next to him. Lin
Jing was smiling as she took it, her face was filled with a gratified smile.

Although with her identity, she was numb to seeing treasures, it was still
something that she had obtained herself. “Thanks. ” She gave an eye-narrowing
smile. “I’m the one that benefitted. ” Mu Chen smiled.

The Defensive Spiritual Jade that Lin Jing had given him was even more precious
than the Heavenly Flame Jade Chalcedony regarding price. “But we might have to
split up now. ”Mu Chen stared at Lin Jing.

Next up, they would have to experience a battle, and if Lin Jing follows them, she
might be in danger. Hearing his words, Lin Jing shook her head as she smiled,
“We’re friends, right? Would a friend run to save herself?”Mu Chen was stunned as
he looked at the young lady before him and smiled in the end. “Then, let us go
together.

If we fail at that time, we will run together. ”

Chapter 658 - Raid After the auction ended, Mu Chen was not in a hurry to leave
Merchant City.

He looked for a cultivating tavern and temporarily stayed there.

If the battle was arriving, he naturally had to restore himself to his peak state.
The exhaustion brought from the journey was clearly erased. In the spacious guest
room. Mu Chen sat, while Nine Nether stood against the window of the guest room and
looked outside.

After a long moment, she turned her head around and looked at Mu Chen, “There truly
is someone following us, they should’ve been sent by Liu Ming. ”Mu Chen lightly
nodded his head, “Those with Liu as their surname really aren’t anything good. ”In
the Northern Heavens Realm, the Liu Family had also caused him quite a bit of
trouble. Finishing his speech, he saw Lin Jing from the side suddenly putting her
hands on her waist as she furiously stared at him and waved her fist, “My
grandmother’s surname is also Liu!”In an instant, Mu Chen’s face turned awkward.
Lin Jing snorted as she continued, “If my father hears this, he will definitely
give you a thrashing. ”Mu Chen dryly laughed.

This was basically an unexpected disaster. “So’ when are we leaving?” However, Lin
Jing did not bother about Mu Chen’s careless remarks as she sat down next to him.

Her hand was supporting her cheek as she said with a little excitement. Judging
from her looks, she seemed to be excited about the upcoming trouble. “No rush.

Every single one of our actions is probably under the surveillance of Liu Ming.

If we stay in the city for a short time and not leave the city, he will feel that
we are afraid. ” Mu Chen lightly smiled. “Showing our enemies that we are weak, how
cunning. ” Lin Jing spoke with a sly smile. “Our enemies are stronger than us, we
have to use little tricks. ”Mu Chen smiled as he stared at Lin Jing, his expression
turned a lot more serious as he continued, “As you know, Liu Ming’s strength is
stronger than us.

Although you and I have both stepped into the Sovereign Realm, we have yet to
refine our Sovereign Celestial Bodies.

Thus, our fighting capability would be weaker.

As for Nine Nether, she could, at most, hinder the opposition's Fifth Grade
Sovereign.

So if there’s an accident, you have to leave if I tell you to. ”Hearing his words,
Lin Jing was a little unhappy.

But looking at Mu Chen’s serious expression, she could only pout as she answered,
“Fine. ”Mu Chen then nodded his head with a smile and no longer spoke.

He slowly shut his eyes and gradually entered a cultivating state. Nine Nether,
however, conversed with Lin Jing for a while as she leaned against the window,
closed her eyes and rested.

She did not enter into her cultivating state because she had to keep her guard up,
even if this city was safe. She was clear about the dangers in the Great Thousand
World. As for Lin Jing, she covered her mouth as she yawned and lazily went to
sleep.

Judging from her state, she didn’t seem to care about any dangers.

The night quietly passed. On the second day, there still wasn’t any movements from
Mu Chen until the sun had.

Generally speaking, ordinary people would be slightly relaxed at this sort of time.
Thus, he chose to go out of the tavern, into the multitude of people and headed
towards the city’s outskirts together with Nine Nether and Lin Jing. When he left
the tavern, a feminine-looking youth on a building in the city had they smear of a
cold smile rising from the corner of his lips. He waved his hand as he sent the
maid that was massaging him off and stood up.

His gaze was slightly cold as he looked towards the direction of the city gate.
“That a naïve brat, you think that you can escape from me this way?” He let out a
ridiculing smile as he waved his hand.

The black-robed elderly man then mysterious appeared behind him. “Elder Mu, it’s
time for us to act. ”The black-robed elderly man lightly nodded his head.

After that, the surrounding space around them rippled, and their figures gradually
disappeared into the air. When they left, in a courtyard in the city, the Heart
Fairy Fox, who was embracing a snow-white fox, revealed an alluring smile. “We’ll
have a good show to watch now. ” She lightly put the white fox down as she smiled
towards her rear, “Let’s go, we’ll go spy on them.

For some reason, I feel that Liu Ming will not succeed so easily this time. ”Behind
her, the ordinary-looking middle-aged man appeared.

The two figures moved, and they disappeared. Three waves of people quietly
disappeared, exiting the city without alerting anyone……The dusk sunset hung on the
horizon as the red light shone on the ground, giving a slight cooling temperature.
Whoosh. Up on the dusk horizon, there was a hurried piercing sound of wind as three
rays of light streaked across the horizon and flew towards the distance at a
shocking speed. They seemed to have executed their speed to the limit.

Judging from it, it was as if they were being chased by something from behind them.
Their high-speed journey lasted for roughly half an hour, before they gradually
slowed down.

After that, the three of them landed on a mountain. Mu Chen raised his head as he
looked at the horizon behind him and suddenly revealed a smile.

“The two of you have been sneakily following us for half a day now, aren’t the two
of you tired?”“Haha, looks like you knew about us since long ago. ”As Mu Chen
spoke, a feminine-sounding voice followed after as it resonated between the heavens
and earth.

On a mountain peak not far away, space slightly distorted as two figures
mysteriously appeared out of the sky. It was Liu Ming and the black-robed elderly
man, whose strength had reached Fifth Grade Sovereign Realm, of the Sky Profound
Palace. His gaze was staring at Mu Chen in mockery and surveyed around, “You have
truly found a pretty good burial site for yourself. ”“How do you know it’s not
prepared for you?” Mu Chen lightly smiled as a chill rapidly gathered in his eyes.
“Looks like your pretty confident. ”Liu Ming faintly smiled as he continued, “If
you feel that the beauty with Fourth Grade Sovereign Realm could give you such
self-confidence, I’m afraid that you will be disappointed. ”Liu Ming extended his
hand towards Mu Chen as he continued speaking, “Hand the Void Great Solar Fruit
over to me, before I get thoroughly angered.

If your attitude satisfies me, I might be able to let you go. ”“Have you brought
along the Undying Divine Leaf and the Nine Dragons and Elephants Art with you?” Mu
Chen did not give him a reply as he shot back a question instead. The smile on Liu
Ming’s face gradually faded as he stared at Mu Chen without any expression, “You
have given up your only chance. ”“You speak too much. ” Mu Chen smiled. “Pfft. ”
Lin Jing, who stood beside him, covered her mouth as she smiled, showing relentless
mockery to Liu Ming. “Elder Mu, you can act now. ” Liu Ming narrowed his eyes as
the smile that hung on the corner of his lips gradually turned a little savage.

“There’s no need to be lenient. ”Behind him, the black-robed elder slowly strode
forth as he brought down both of his hands, which were previously plugged into his
sleeves.

At this instant, a chilled aura was being emitted from his aged face. A terrifying
Spiritual Energy gale swept from his body.

The pitch-black Spiritual Energy swept between the heavens and earth.

In an instant, the temperature in this region decreased.

The black-robed elderly man’s Spiritual Energy contained ripples of extreme chill.
The mountain peak that he stood on was gradually crumbling under the terrifying
ripples of Spiritual Energy.

Huge cracks started to spread throughout the mountain. It was just mere Spiritual
Energy pressure, and it had caused the mountain to crumble.

The strength of a Fifth Grade Sovereign was actually so dreadful. Looking at this
scene, Mu Chen’s gaze was slightly grave.

This was the first time he was facing a Fifth Grade Sovereign.

The power unleashed by him was truly exceptionally powerful. Nine Nether, who was
standing next to Mu Chen’s side, had strode forth as a vast amount of Spiritual
Energy exploded.

Space distorted and, right above her, formed a colossal blackbird. On the
Blackbird, there were purple flames quietly blazing. “Divine Beast?!”When the
colossal black bird appeared, Liu Ming and the black-clothed elderly man’s
expression trembled. “No wonder why you had such confidence, so your true body is
that of a Divine Beast. ” The black-robed elder looked at Nine Nether as he spoke
with a hoarse voice. Generally speaking, it was impossible for a Fourth Grade
Sovereign to contend with a Fifth Grade Sovereign, there was a massive gap between
the differences of one grade.

But if it was a Divine Beast, things would be different.

Based on the powerful physical body andnatural advantage, mighty Divine Beasts were
generally stronger than those of the same realm. Liu Ming’s brows were also
furrowed at this instant as he strode a step forth and his eerie gaze was fixed on
Mu Chen, “Elder Mu, you keep her tied up, I will deal with that kid. ”The black-
clothed elder nodded his head.

Although the lady that stood before him was a little out of his expectations, the
difference between them was a grade.

Although it was a bit troublesome to kill the other party, it wasn’t too hard to
keep her tied up. “I have not sensed any ripples of a Sovereign Celestial Body on
you.

So I believe that you have yet to refine your Sovereign Celestial Body yet, right?”
Liu Ming stared at Mu Chen as he spoke with indifference. Mu Chen did not give an
answer. “What a pity… that you will never have the chance to refine it. ” Liu Ming
sighed with pity as he abruptly stomped his feet.
In an instant, his gaze turned savage. “But, before you die, I can let you taste
the true might of a Sovereign Celestial Body!”Boom!Vast Spiritual Energy soared
into the sky and covered it.

Scarlet Spiritual Energies rapidly gathered around Liu Ming, and in the end, formed
into a big scarlet image that was roughly a thousand feet in size. The body of that
figure was blazing with flames.

Looking from afar, it was as if a lava giant had descended from the sky. Along with
it, the temperature in this region surged. “Heavenly Flame Celestial Body!”

Chapter 659 - First Battle of the Great Thousand World The huge figure that stood
on this heaven and earth, blazing with scarlet flames as though it was trying to
melt the earth.

A surge of indescribable blazing gale swept out as it wreaked havoc. Liu Ming’s
figure had already disappeared into the huge red figure.

Once the Sovereign Celestial Body was activated, it would be the perfect defence
that will shield you in it. The Sovereign Celestial Body was the perfect offence
and defence.

This was also the reason why every Sovereigns would chase after it so bitterly. The
scarlet figure slowly opened its eyes as flames blazed in it.

At the same time, Liu Ming’s voice that contained killing intent resonated
throughout the heaven and earth. “Right now, do you feel despair?”A Sovereign
Celestial Body was too crucial to the fighting ability of a Sovereign expert.

So when Liu Ming knew that Mu Chen had yet to refine his, he had thoroughly let
down his guards. The Sovereign Celestial Body that he had cultivated was called the
Heavenly Flames Celestial Body, ranking in the 97th among the 99 Rankings of
Sovereign Celestial Bodies.

Although it was ranked towards the rear, it would be foolish to belittle it just
because of that. In the Great Thousand World, any of the Sovereign Celestial Body
that could be on the 99 Rankings of Sovereign Celestial Bodies were all very
powerful.

After all, the method of refining Sovereign Celestial Bodies were all secrets to
any forces, and would not be easily passed out.

Thus, many Sovereign experts could only obtain cultivating methods to ordinary
Sovereign Celestial Body.

Some of them could only resort to the most usual way, refining a Sovereign
Celestial Body from their own Spiritual Energy.

In that case, their Sovereign Celestial Body wouldn’t possess any magical
abilities. Taking the Heavenly Flames Celestial Body possessed by Liu Yan, it
requires his own Spiritual Energy along with the assistance of Heavenly Flames to
successfully cultivate it after the perfect fusion between those two. Some great
Sovereign Celestial Bodies possessed the terrifying capability of surpassing the
owner’s cultivating realm in battle. Thus, when Liu Ming knew that Mu Chen had not
cultivated a Sovereign Celestial Body, there was an unwavering outcome to this
battle. “Heavenly Flames Celestial Body…”Mu Chen had his head raised up, his gaze
was grave as he looked at the colossal scarlet figure that stood in between the
heaven and earth.
This Liu Ming was clearly not someone that only depended on his mouth, he also
possessed mighty strength as well. Relying on such a powerful Sovereign Celestial
Body, he could be considered as excellent among the First Grade Sovereign Realms.
“Can you deal with it?” Nine Nether looked at Mu Chen as a strand of worries
flashed across her eyes.

She initially thought that Liu Ming had only cultivated an ordinary Sovereign
Celestial Body.

However, she never thought that this fellow would be able to refine the Heavenly
Flames Celestial Body.

“You hold up that old man.

Even if we fail, we can run. ” Mu Chen said in a light voice. “Be careful. ” Nine
Nether lightly nodded her head and did not speak anymore.

Chill gathered on her slender eyes as her figure moved, she had directly appeared
above the colossal blackbird and flew hastily towards the distance. Seeing her
actions, the black-clothed elderly man laughed, and his figure moved.

The next time he appeared, he was right in front of Nine Nether.

As his sleeves fluttered, gale swept up in this region. When Nine Nether and the
elderly man was facing off, Mu Chen had gathered all his attention onto the
colossal red figure.

This was the first time that he had relied on himself to fight with a genuine
Sovereign expert. “You be careful. ”Mu Chen gave Lin Jing a reminder as his figure
flew out.

He hovered in the sky as he abruptly stomped his feet, the space behind him
distorted, and vaguely, a vast ocean could be seen.

Within the sea, torrential purple flames were whistling in it. “Let me give show
you what a genuine Sovereign’s power is!” Liu Ming’s Sovereign Celestial Body
extended its hand out as it pointed down with its finger. Boom!As that finger
pointed down, space distorted and a scarlet pillar of few hundred feet shot out.

That pillar of light was very starchy, as though it was lava as scarlet flames were
blazing on it, seems to be very violent. Liu Ming had only pointed a finger out,
and that power had far surpassed an all-out attack from Ji Xuan back then!This was
the genuine power of those that had refined Sovereign Celestial Body!Mu Chen raised
his head as he looked at the incoming pillar of lava and inhaled a deep mouthful of
air.

His robe fluttered along in the wind as his expression abruptly turned cold and
sharp. He waved his sleeves, the space at his rear distorted as torrential purple
light surged, a dazzling purple ray streaked out as it collided with the scarlet
Spiritual Energy. Boom!The two clash instantly created an earth-shattering noise as
Spiritual Energy gale swept out, cracks appeared on the earth beneath. Up in the
sky, Mu Chen still stood as the wind blew onto him, he was covered in brilliant
purple light on the surface of his body as purple flames surged in his black
pupils. Relying on the power of his own Spiritual Energy, he managed to withstand
Liu Ming’s attacks. “You’re actually able to withstand my Heavenly Flames Spiritual
Energy?!” a smear of shock flashed across the eyes of that huge scarlet figure.

Clearly, Liu Ming had felt unbelievable on the results.

The Spiritual Energy that he had cultivated was fused with Heavenly Flames and far
surpassed ordinary Spiritual Energy.

It was extremely overbearing, but it was blocked by Mu Chen. “So there’s something
strange about your Spiritual Energy. ”However, Liu Ming’s eyes were keen as he saw
the peculiar purple Spiritual Energy around Mu Chen.

Those blazing purple flames were something that not even his Heavenly Flames could
suppress. Upon a mountain far away, two figure appeared.

It was an alluring lady donned in white fox fur coat as she watched the
confrontation far away.

A smear of astonishment flashed across her eyes as she spoke in a light tone, “The
Spiritual Energy of that youth seems a little bizarre. ”“It must have been fused
with a powerful flame. ” the middle-aged man that stood beside her spoke out in
shock as he continued, “No wonder he dared to confront Liu Ming without refining
any Sovereign Celestial Body, he does have some capabilities. ”“It’s still too
early to determine the outcome.

Liu Ming’s Heavenly Flames Celestial Body isn’t an ordinary Sovereign Celestial
Body. ” The alluring lady smiled. The middle-aged man nodded in agreement. As the
two of them spoke, Mu Chen’s figure abruptly soared.

In the next instant, he appeared before the colossal scarlet figure, on the
location of its head.

A scarlet ray soared up the sky as a surge of baleful aura spreads out. “Not only
did I withstand your Heavenly Flames Spiritual Energy, but I am also going to
destroy your Heavenly Flames Celestial Body!”The Great Meru Demonic Pillar appeared
in that red flash as it expanded, sizing up to a hundred feet as it stood towering
on the horizon, it was like an ominous object from the primordial times. Mu Chen
hugged the space as he had directly utilised the Great Meru Demonic Pillar.

There wasn’t a hesitation as he slammed it down on the Heavenly Flames Celestial

Body, that dreadful energy even caused cracks on the space. With Mu Chen’s current
strength, and adding on to the power of the Great Meru Demonic Pillar, that attack
had already reached an astonishing degree. Seeing that attack, even the two that
was observing the battle from a distance away felt startled in their heart.
“Hmph!”A cold snort came from the mouth of that scarlet figure.

He clenched his fist as red flames swept out, turning into a red flaming longspear
as it tore through the horizon along with a torrential ocean of fire, and heavily
clashed with the Great Meru Demonic Pillar. Boom!The metallic collision that was as
roaring as thunder rang out, the sound waves were like a tornado as it spreads out,
sweeping up a violent gale in this heaven and earth. Mu Chen’s figure was sent
flying out.

Every single step he took exploded the air, and when he was sent flying out, the
colossal scarlet figure had also made a step back and crumbled a mountain. “What
fearsome energy. ”Far away, that middle-aged man couldn’t help exclaiming out.

Clearly, he never thought that Mu Chen could rely on his own strength to contend
with Liu Ming’s Sovereign Celestial Body to such an extent. “What youth isn’t
simple. ” A smear of astonishment had also flashed across the eyes of the Heart
Fairy Fox. Blazing flames surged in the eyes of the colossal scarlet figure of Liu
Ming, he stomped his feet as his massive figure flashed out similarly to lightning,
creating cracks on the ground. Blazing scarlet flames were like flaming clouds as
it enveloped the horizon. Evidently, Liu Ming had started to use the power of the
Heavenly Flames Celestial Body. He was already enraged by Mu Chen’s resistance.
“You’re impossibly foolish to intend to confront my Sovereign Celestial Body with
your own strength!”Liu Ming’s eerie voice was similar to the roaring of thunder as
it resonated in the horizon.

Shortly after, that scarlet longspear turned into illusions that covered the sky
along with a blazing ocean of flames as it enveloped Mu Chen.

Within a radius of a thousand feet was affected by that dreadful attack. Looking at
the earth-shattering amount of spear illusions, every single spear were like an
actual object.

The power contained in it could even topple mountains. His gaze grew grave as he
formed seals with both his hand. Boom!Lightning roars as brilliant lightning
flickered on the surface of Mu Chen’s body.

At this moment, his body had grown by a size as nine lightning runes appeared on
his chest.

Compared to before, it was even more refined as though it was an actual object.
“Let me give it a try…”Lightning flickered on the surface of Mu Chen’s body as his
black pupils grew even colder and sharp.

He licked his lips as an arc rose on the corner of his lips, filled with fighting
intent. “At how powerful is your Sovereign Celestial Body!”Mu Chen hugged the space
before him as he had directly hugged onto the Great Meru Demonic Pillar.

He had charged out in this way without the slightest backing off as lightning, and
purple flames swept out.

Under that torrential flames, his figure was as tiny as an ant. However, there was
a clear fighting intent coming from him!My first battle in the Great Thousand World
will begin with you!

Chapter 660 - Fighting Liu Ming Scarlet flames engulfed the horizon, even the sky
looked as if it was about to ignite at this moment. Under that sea of flames, the
earth-shattering amount of spear illusions shot over.

A violent blaze spread out in this region, making that attack extremely
astonishing. However, when faced with such an attack, Mu Chen showed no signs of
retreating.

He hugged the Great Meru Demonic Pillar through space and had actually charged out
instead.

Boundless purple Spiritual Energy soared into the sky as he waved the pillar. Boom!
Boom!An earth-shattering commotion exploded in the sky.

Mu Chen’s figure was extremely tiny in comparison to the illusion of spears.

The Great Meru Demonic Pillar was waved and destroyed all those illusions. The sea
of flames spread out. Every single time he broke a spear illusion, he would be
forced a step back.

However, he did not make any signs of retreating.

He made a head-on clash with them and left others astonished. Down below, Lin
Jing’s mouth was widened as she watched the figure that was continually retreating,
but was becoming even more vigorous under the fighting intent.
Her gorgeous eyes were filled with astonishment. That youth wasn’t that much older
than her, but his elated fighting intent seemed like it could never be suppressed
or erased.

That feeling he gave was as if he wouldn’t retreat even with an immovable mountain
before him. The firmness of his heart left others in astonishment. “That youth… I’m
afraid that he will become a thorny figure in the future. ” The middle-aged man
that was watching the battle suddenly opened his mouth. “Although I am unsure of
his background, I am certain that he has depended on himself to walk this far.
”“Because those younger experts produced from the resources of the sects behind
them wouldn’t have such fighting intent and guts like him. ”Hearing the judgement
of that middle-aged man, Heart Fairy Fox lightly bit her alluring lips as she
looked at the slender silhouette that had been continuously retreating and said in
a soft voice, “His guts are pretty good.

But based on that alone, it is impossible for him to defeat Liu Ming. ”“The true
might of the Heavenly Flames Celestial Body has yet to be unleashed. ”The middle-
aged man lightly nodded his head as he spoke in pity, “If that young man had a
Celestial Body of its own, even if it was an ordinary one, Liu Ming would not be
able to gain any advantage today. ”Heart Fairy Fox nodded her head in agreement.
Boom!The Great Meru Demonic Pillar heavily waved down as the dreadful energy
shattered the incoming spear illusions.

The impact from it made Mu Chen’s arms tremble as blood flowed down from his palms.
He strode two-steps forth as he heavily stomped his feet, stabilising his figure.

Lightning twisted on the surface of his body as it violently flickered.

He had a calm expression on his face, except that his gaze was grave.

After going through the clash from before, he already learnt about how powerful the
Heavenly Flames Celestial Body was.

If it weren’t for his Lightning God’s Physique reaching Nona Rune Lightning
Physique, it would be sufficient for him to be left heavily injured by this
exchange alone. But even so, the blood and aura in his body were rolling with
uncertainty. Up in the sky, the colossal blazing figure stood, Liu Ming was looking
at Mu Chen as a chill flickered in his eyes.

His gaze was somewhat a little dark. Clearly, it was out of his expectations that
Mu Chen could last so long with his own strength. “No wonder your tone was pretty
big, you have some capability. ” The blazing scarlet figure looked at Mu Chen as if
it was looking at an ant as Liu Ming’s eerie voice resonated with a thunderous
roar. Mu Chen maintained a calm expression as he raised his head looking at the
oppressing colossal figure and smiled, “But your Sovereign Celestial Body isn’t as
fearsome as I had imagined. ”“Really?”There was a smear of mockery in Liu Ming’s
voice.

He did not speak any further as he abruptly formed a seal with his hand.

As the seal changed, the blazing flames that filled the sky started to gather
towards his palm. An extremely blazing ripple spread out. “Why don’t you give it
another try?!”A chilling light shot from the eyes of the Heavenly Flames Celestial
Body as it abruptly waved its palm down.

In an instant, heavenly flames spread out, causing the space to distort.

A flaming palm that could nearly cover half the sky suddenly shot down. “Heavenly
Flames Blazing Palm!”As he spoke out, the earth below crumbled.

Mountains were levelled, and forests turned into ashes.

The power of that energy had reached the limit. Looking at the situation, Mu Chen’s
face slightly changed as he abruptly retreated.

Both of his hands swiftly formed seals, and in the next instant, he shook his
sleeves as the earth-shattering amount of green light shot out, turning into spiky
black trees on the ground. “Divine Wood Scripture!”Mu Chen barked in his heart as
those spiky black trees turned into endless green lights as they soared into the
sky, gathering towards Mu Chen as they formed into a green ocean that was filled
with vitality. “Divine Wheel of the Heavenly Wood!”Mu Chen’s seal changed once
again as the green ocean instantly spun at high speed, turning into a colossal
green wooden wheel.

Mu Chen pointed his finger down as the wheel emitted a buzzing noise and
disappeared, drawing long black marks on the space before him. Tssssss!The rotation
speed of the green wooden light wheel was indescribably swift, it had already
appeared beneath the flaming palm in a flash and clashed without the slightest
hesitation. There wasn’t any noise from the instant of collision.

The high speed of the wheel possessed extremely dreadful penetrative ability.

In the moment of contact, it had already pierced through the flaming palm and
advanced towards the Heavenly Flames Celestial Body. “Scram!”A cold bark resounded
from the Heavenly Flames Celestial Body, the huge palm had directly shot out as it
heavily clashed against the wheel with torrential flames. Tsk! Tsk!The deadlock
made the flames of anger rise in Liu Ming’s heart.

Mu Chen had blocked several of his attacks, it was a humiliation for him.

His eyes were blazing with flames as black flames shrouded his body shortly after.

It was like a flaming dragon as it wrapped the green wheel. Boom!Facing the violent
attacks, the green wooden light wheel finally couldn’t hold up any longer and
exploded, combusting into nothingness by the flames. Boom!Liu Ming did not give Mu
Chen any chance to rest as he threw both of his fists out, scarlet flames swept and
turned into two blazing dragons as they whistled towards Mu Chen. Mu Chen’s figure
abruptly retreated again as boundless purple light shot out, an attempt to obstruct
the scarlet flames.

But they were combusted to like broken bamboos from the flames. At this moment, Liu
Ming had clearly thoroughly utilised the power of his Heavenly Flames Celestial
Body. Boom!The speed of the fiery dragons was remarkably swift.

Mu Chen dodged a few times, but could no longer avoid them.

The flaming dragons flew as they heavily clashed against his body that was covered
with Spiritual Energy. Boom!Mu Chen looked as if he had been heavily hit as he flew
down and shot deep into the ground, causing the earth to crumble. “Aren’t you very
powerful? Why don’t you try another one?”Seeing as Mu Chen was injured by him, Liu
Ming revealed a cold sneer.

He looked at the crumbled earth as killing intent flashed across his eyes.

He did not stop his actions as he clenched his fist, causing a long flaming spear
to form and with a rustle, it pierced through space towards the crumbled earth.
Whoosh. However, before the spear shot into the crumbled earth, a figure suddenly
appeared in the sky.

She formed seals with her hands as boundless Spiritual Energy swept out, creating a
massive water shield.

On the water shield, there was a vortex spinning. “Shield of Water!”Boom!The

flaming spear massively shot onto the water shield as it instantly caused
explosions of fluctuations, but the majority of the energy was devoured by the
vortex on the water shield. When the flaming spear faded, Lin Jing’s figure jolted
as the water shield exploded.

Clearly, that was the limit of it. “Oh? Another one that has yet to refine a
Sovereign Celestial Body.

But at this point in time, I will no longer to be tender on a beauty. ” Watching

the situation, Liu Ming eerily laughed as he waved his hand.

Massive flaming spears formed again as they shot down. Looking at the attack, Lin
Jing clenched her teeth, but did not retreat.

She inhaled a mouthful of air and opened her mouth.

An azure flow of water was spat out by her and was emitting boundless Spiritual
Energy fluctuations. The river was incredibly bizarre, as though it was formed from
spiritual energies, but at the same time, some fluctuations were similar to Divine
Artifact being emitted…The azure river spiralled around Lin Jing as though it was
the most perfect defence. Boom! Boom!Flaming spears pierced the space as it
continuously hammered the river again, causing splashes of waves.

Suffering the dreadful attacks, Lin Jing’s face was a little pale. “Break!”When the
last flaming spear was devoured by the azure river, the river had dimmed down as it
turned into a flow of water and returned back into Lin Jing’s mouth. She coldly
raised her head as she looked at the Heavenly Flames Celestial Body and mocked, “Is
that all you got?”“I’ll see how long you can last!”Liu Ming sneered as killing
intent surged in his eyes.

Lin Jing’s means was a little out of her expectation.

But as he possessed a Sovereign Celestial Body, it wasn’t something that they could
contend against. “Hmm?”However, just when he was about to attack again, he suddenly
narrowed his eyes as he shifted his gaze downwards, staring at the crumbled earth.

There was an uneasy fluctuation coming from that direction.

Chapter 661 - Three Lotuses Boom!There were fine tremblings from the earth, up in
the sky, the colossal flaming giant that was formed by Liu Ming was looking at the
crumbled earth below.

Vaguely, he sensed peculiar ripples coming from the earth beneath. “That kid still
has power left?”Liu Ming’s gaze was gloomy, his attacks earlier on should have
heavily injured Mu Chen.

Furthermore, there were violent Heavenly Flames in his spiritual energies, causing
his attacks to be even more powerful.

Earlier when it penetrated into Mu Chen’s body, it should have given him huge
troubles. But from the looks of it now…“Are you trying to bluff?” Chill surged in
Liu Ming’s eyes as he abruptly unleashed a deep howl, scarlet-red flaming spiritual
energies were like lava as it spat out from his mouth and turned into multiple lava
dragons. The dragons danced in the horizon as it devoured the spiritual energies in
this region and expanded in size swiftly, whistling out. Looking at the situation,
the boundless spiritual energies within Lin Jing’s body swept out as well, turning
into a streak of light as it whistled in the horizon, an attempt to obstruct those
dragons. But this time, the fiery dragons did not go at her direction, it dodged
her agility and swiftly hammered down at the crumbled earth. Clearly, Liu Ming was
not going to give Mu Chen any chance. Boom!But just when the lava was about to melt
the earth, there was a black streak of light that shot out from the ground.

As the black light spreads, the violent lava was being rapidly diminished. Up in
the sky, Liu Ming abruptly shrank his eyes, Lin Jing’s gorgeous eyes were also
widened with shock as she watched this scene. In the mountain far away,
astonishment grew in Heart Fairy Fox’s eyes that were filled with doubts.

She looked at the miserable state of the ground and spoke out softly, “There seems
to be a peculiar fluctuation…”“Those fluctuations…”The middle-aged man beside her
also had his brows furrowed, and shortly after, her gaze turned solemn, “It seems
to be the fluctuations of Spiritual Arrays, what’s going on?”Just as they were
stupefied, a silhouette slowly floated up from the crumbled earth.

He stood feet away off the ground and raised his head, his handsome features were
filled with indifference. It was Mu Chen. At this moment, the clothes on his upper
body had shattered as he looked a little terrible.

But in his black pupils, were as serene as the abyss.

He quietly looked at the scarlet figure in the sky as the dangerous light flickered
in the depth of his eyes. “What a fortunate fellow!” Liu Ming eerily laughed out
when he saw Mu Chen being found. Mu Chen looked at him, but he did not speak.

He slowly raised both his hands and placed them together before his chest, forming
an incredibly complicated, yet vaguely familiar seal.

“Initiate array!”Along with that soft voice coming out from Mu Chen’s mouth, the
earth violently trembled.

Cracks began to spread on the ground beneath. Within the cracks, black light
violently flowed out as the ground sank downwards and mud splattered.

Swiftly, a deep crater that was nearly a thousand feet in size appeared on. The
depth could not be seen as Mu Chen hovered in the sky, Liu Ming’s gaze that was
looking at Mu Chen was abruptly shifted and focused in the crater.

He saw three black lotuses quietly hovering. Innumerable rays of light shot from
the three black lotuses as they intertwined, forming into a colossal and
complicated Spiritual Array. Shocking fluctuations were quietly rippling out,
causing the crater to be spreading out little by little. Those three black lotuses
were like primordial beasts in the darkness.

Although it was quiet, it was emitting a heart-chilling aura. “This is…” Lin Jing
was a little startled as she looked at the three massive black lotuses. “Spiritual
Array?”On the mountain far away, Heart Fairy Fox’s face changed for the first time
as she stared at the massive array formed from the three lotuses.

Her chest which was tugged with her arms gently heaved. “This kid is actually a
Spiritual Array Master as well!” the middle-aged man exclaimed out, there was an
unconcealable shock in his voice.
No wonder he sensed such peculiar fluctuations earlier on, so Mu Chen was hiding
while laying out Spiritual Array!“This Spiritual Array… Has probably reached the
First Grade Human. ”Spiritual Array Master are differentiated into three human
grades, representing the ninth grade Sovereign.

The First Grade Human Spiritual Array Master was equivalent to the genuine First
Grade Sovereign. But clearly, First Grade Human Spiritual Array Master was too rare
compared to First Grade Sovereigns.

Furthermore, everyone knew that a Spiritual Array laid by a Grandmaster of the same
rank were bound to be suppressed by those of the same level. Previously, Mu Chen
and made used of Liu Ming’s attack to send himself deep into the ground.

But no one had expected that he would use it to hid himself and lay out a Spiritual
Array underneath the ground. “What formidable schemes and fighting conscious. ” the
middle-aged man couldn’t help sighing out.

Compared to the youth before them, Liu Ming’s fighting conscious were similar to
that of a child. At this time, even the Heart Fairy Fox had nodded her head in
agreement.

Her eyes were flickering with a strange light as she stared at the silhouette of
the youth that was floating above the massive crater. “This battle has probably
come to an end.

Although Liu Ming has the Heavenly Flames Celestial Body, the Spiritual Array laid
out by this youth definitely isn’t simple. ” said the middle-aged man. From the
three lotuses Spiritual Array, he sensed extremely dangerous fluctuations.

He had yet to witness a Sixth Grade Spiritual Array, but at the very least, this
could make him feel fear. As they conversed, Mu Chen raised his head in the air and
looked at Lin Jing, “Lin Jing, move further away. ”The young girl nodded her head
as she flew back. Mu Chen then looked Liu Ming, with a cold smile on his face as he
spoke, “Although I do not have a Sovereign Celestial Body, at the very least, I
still have this. ”His slender hand pointed at the Spiritual Array, this three black
lotus was the Butchering Demonic Lotus Spiritual Array.

The highest level of this Spiritual Array was the four lotuses, and Mu Chen had
only formed the two lotuses all along.

With his bitter training, he had achieved leaps and bounds in his cultivations of
Spiritual Array
he had quietly entered into the realms of Spiritual Array Grandmaster. This wave
of his was even unknown to the Nine Nether. Flames surged in Liu Ming’s eyes, but
this time, he did not ridicule.

He sensed the uneasy fluctuations coming from this Spiritual Array. He never
imagined that Mu Chen would be a Spiritual Array Grandmaster!“Damn it!”He cursed in
his heart.

If he knew, he would definitely not let Mu Chen out of his sight.

Furthermore, he had been careless, allowing Mu Chen to lay such a formidable

Spiritual Array out. “Next up… let me take a look at how powerful your Sovereign
Celestial Body is! Let you compete with my Spiritual Array!”Mu Chen lightly smiled
as he formed seals with both his hand shortly, he unleashed a howl as it sounded
out in his heart. “Butchering Demonic Lotus Spiritual Array, activate!”Whoosh!
Myriads of black light abruptly shot from the Spiritual Array.
 Within the three lotuses, lustre became deeper as though it was made from ink.
When the fluctuation in the Spiritual Array had reached the limit, the three
lotuses gradually turned took substantial form as it slowly separated from the
Spiritual Array. The three black lotuses gradually hovered up as it circulates
around Mu Chen.

Even space was distorted at this moment. Liu Ming’s gaze was fixed on the three
black lotuses as a dense uneasiness rose in his heart.

This made him felt the urge to escape but was suppressed down by him. “I refuse to
believe that you can break my Heavenly Flames Celestial Body!”Liu Ming said coldly,
he had once fought with a First Grade Human Spiritual Array Grandmaster.

But he wasn’t in too much of a difficult situation.

As long as he could receive this Spiritual Array, Mu Chen would definitely lose as
Liu Ming wouldn’t give him any chance to lay a Spiritual Array again. “Armour of
the Heavenly Flames!”Liu Ming’s deep roar instantly unleashed dazzling red light
from the Heavenly Flames Celestial Body.

In the end, it was flowing out like lava, boiling as it quietly solidified into a
huge armour, seeming as if it was the most powerful armour in this world. Facing
the mysterious black lotuses Spiritual Array, Liu Ming had also utilised the
strongest defence of his Heavenly Flames Celestial Body. Mu Chen’s expression was
calm as he looked at Liu Ming utilising his strongest defence.

His slender finger was pointing down lightly, in the location of his finger
pointing down, fluctuations began to appear in the space. “Go. ”As he pointed down,
Mu Chen’s gaze abruptly grew cold, and as sharp as blades. Whoosh!The three lotuses
abruptly trembled as it exploded forth with a buzzing noise.

The three black lotuses linked together as though it was a black streak of light
shuttling through the horizon.

With incredible speed, it had broken through the restriction of space. In a flash,
it had already appeared before the Heavenly Flames Celestial Body. There wasn’t any
pause or hesitation as it hammered over. In the next instant. The three black
lotuses had already collided with the Heavenly Flames Celestial Body.

Chapter 662 - Unforeseen Changes Boom!Three black lotuses streaked across the
horizon as they silently hammered against the light figure shrouded in lava armour.

There wasn’t any earth-shattering commotion from the instant of contact. The black
light was like liquid as it exploded, swiftly corroding the lava armour.

Stained by the liquid, lava was instantly extinguished while it was slowly getting
dissolved. There wasn’t any earth-shattering explosion.

The silent contact possessed heart palpitation energy. The Heavenly Flames
Celestial Body formed by Liu Ming had turned stiff as his blazing eyes looked at
the ink spreading on his enormous body and a dense fear surged in his eyes. He
realised that as the black light spread, his Heavenly Flames Celestial Body was
rapidly losing strength.

That sensation was like his Sovereign Celestial Body was being contaminated. “Damn
it, just what Spiritual Array is that?!”Shock rose in Liu Ming’s heart as he
abruptly clenched his teeth, issuing a roar from the depths of his throat.

The Spiritual Energy in this region was boiling as rolling lava poured from the
Heavenly Flames Celestial Body.

In the end, it was like lava as it spread towards the strange black light. Pfff!
Pfff!Two dominant forces clashed as they exploded white mists. The scarlet lava was
continuously emitting great energy as it attempted to smear away the black light.

The latter was like a pest as it stuck firmly on it.

The momentum that didn’t seem powerful was still able to firmly corrode the lava
flow, bit by bit…Mu Chen’s gaze was cold as he watched this scene
shortly after, he changed his seal again as a deep voice came from his mouth,
“Black Lotus Erosion!”Buzz! Buzz!As his seal changed, the flow of the black liquid
increased in speed.

In barely ten breath’s of time, half of the colossal Heavenly Flames Celestial
Body was coloured black, with the Spiritual Energy contained within it
disappearing. Liu Ming’s face was dumbfounded as he finally felt fear in his heart.

He attempted to escape, but he realised that he could no longer move his body.

He immediately barked, “Brat, if you dare touch me, my Sky Profound Palace will
chase after you even to the end of the seas, you understand me?”Mu Chen maintained
an indifferent expression, he paid no attention and increased his corroding speed.
Threatening him didn’t work
instead, because of the increased the killing intent of Mu Chen, his voice
immediately turned soft.

“Wait, I’ll admit defeat.

I will hand over the Undying Divine Leaf and the Nine Dragons and Elephants Art to
you!”Looking at Mu Chen, there was a smear of ridicule hung on the latter’s black
pupils.

Judging from that look, he seemed to be ridiculing his foolish actions. “Saying it
now…”Mu Chen slowly raised his slender hand and clenched his fist abruptly with a
cold gaze, “You’re truly stupid!”

Since the grudge was already set, Mu Chen definitely wouldn’t be lenient as he knew
that it would bring even more troubles to him instead.

With Liu Ming’s background, it was indeed troublesome for him.

Thus, he wouldn’t be stupid enough for a peaceful settlement. Whoosh!The liquid-

like black light rapidly spread out, along the neck of the Heavenly Flames
Celestial Body, and along the face, spreading throughout the colossal Celestial
Body. The Heavenly Flames Celestial Body froze in an instant, even Liu Ming’s
mouth, which was roaring, had turned stiff.

The surging Spiritual Energy around him had rapidly calmed down. The Heavenly
Flames Celestial Body, which was awe-inspiring, was like extinguished lava, turning
into black cold rocks…Spiritual Energy was no longer present. Mu Chen looked at the
cold and black stone giant as a chill gathered in his eyes again.

Shortly after, he stomped his feet and flew out.

Purple Spiritual Energy that was like a gale gathered in his palm. His Spiritual
Energy harboured killing intent. “You dare!”Just when Mu Chen revealed his killing
intent, a bark resounded from afar.

The black-clothed elderly man that was held up by Nine Nether had his face turn
pale.

He apparently never thought that Liu Ming would fall by Mu Chen’s hands. The black-
clothed elderly man retreated and was about to attack Mu Chen.

If anything happened to Liu Ming, the Palace Master of the Sky Profound Palace
would definitely not let him go. “Hmph. ”However, just when he retreated, a cold
snort rang out.

Up in the sky, where a gale blew, was a blazing pair of purple wings that
descended.

It looked like it was tearing the heavens and earth apart as it swiftly slashed
down at the black-clothed elderly man. The terrifying ripples descending from the
sky caused the face of the black-clothed elderly man to change, especially those
startling purple flames.

He didn’t dare to slack off when facing them. If he was hit by it head-on, even if
he had the cultivation of Fifth Grade Sovereign Realm, he would still suffer a
considerable injury. Thus, the black-clothed elderly man could only clench his
teeth and backhandedly throw a slap out, turning into a giant hand forged of
Spiritual Energy as it clashed with the descending wings. Boom!Violent Spiritual
Energy gale swept out. Just as the black-clothed elderly man was obstructed by Nine
Nether, Mu Chen’s figure had already appeared before the extinguished lava giant.

A palm gale of Spiritual Energy, along with boundless power behind it, swiftly
landed on the chest of the giant. Boom!Violent Spiritual Energy that was like tidal
water wreaked havoc beneath Mu Chen’s feet. Creak. Under that Spiritual Energy
impact, cracks swiftly spread on the chest of the lava giant.

In just a few breath’s time, it had spread throughout the entire body and exploded.
Black rocks fell from the sky, along with a figure flying out of the lava giant in
a terrible state.

Fresh blood spurt as he was shot into a mountain.

Even the mountain had crumbled from the dreadful energy, burying the figure swiftly
under the stones. Mu Chen stood on air as he glanced at the ruined mountain with
indifference.

His figure moved, appearing up above as he sent many stones flying out with a wave
of his hand. As stones flew, a terrible-looking figure that was covered in blood
was revealed.

He was limp as he laid down in the mess of rocks.

His face was pale as fear rose in his eyes as he watched Mu Chen landing down.
“Seems like your Heavenly Flames Celestial Body wasn’t as strong as you thought it
to be. ” Mu Chen looked at Liu Ming, whose face was covered in shock as he spoke
with indifference. Liu Ming stared at Mu Chen with a vicious gaze. Mu Chen did not
bother about his gaze.

He waved his hand, bringing the latter’s Mustard Seed Bracelet into his hand.

Although he did not open it, the Undying Divine Leaf and the Nine Dragons and
Elephants Art should be in there. “A fortune angel, such a good person.

Thanks for that. ” Mu Chen waved the bracelet in his hand towards Liu Ming as he
mocked. PffftLiu Ming spewed a mouthful of fresh blood as he viciously stared at Mu
Chen and said in a hoarse voice, “Did you truly think that I’m that easy to kill?
I’m the Young Palace Master of the Sky Profound Palace!”His voice was filled with
viciousness and a trace of ridicule. Mu Chen frowned his brows as killing intent
flashed across his eyes.

There wasn’t any hesitation as he sent a palm out, bringing along a dreadful
Spiritual Energy tide as he fiercely slapped towards Liu Ming’s head. “Demonic
Human Elder, are you still not going to show yourself? You truly want to see me
being killed by him?!” Liu Ming ferociously roared as he watched this scene. Mu
Chen’s pupils shrank as his palm sped more ferociously. Boom!Just when his palm was
about to land on Liu Ming’s head, he couldn’t budge his palm any further.

The surrounding space seemed like it had frozen right at this moment. “What a
ruthless brat… if I were to witness you killing him, it would be hard for me to
explain to the Palace Master. ” An old and indifferent voice rang out by Mu Chen’s
ears.

He slowly raised his head, not knowing when a bony grey-clothed elderly man was
standing in the sky. The way the grey-clothed elderly man looked at Mu Chen made
him feel a chill surging up in his heart. “That is…”The sudden appearance of the
grey-clothed elderly man caused Mu Chen’s face to change.

It was so much so that the gazes of the Heart Fairy Fox and the middle-aged man,
who were spying on this battle, had difference in their gazes. “It’s actually one
of the three Great Elders of the Sky Profound Palace, the Demonic Human Elder… so
this old demon has been secretly protecting Liu Ming.

I’ve never expected that!” Heart Fairy Fox spoke with a heavy expression. The
middle-aged man also revealed an expression of fear.

The fame of this Demonic Human Elder was famous in the Skylaw Continent, with the
strength of Eighth Grade Sovereign Realm.

Even in the Sky Profound Palace, he was an existence with an exalted position.
“That brat won’t be able to run anymore. ” The middle-aged man sighed.

Since the Demonic Human Elder showed himself, there wouldn’t be a fight anymore.
The strength of an Eighth Grade Sovereign Realm wasn’t something that they could
confront against. Mu Chen’s pupils shrank as he looked at the grey-clothed elderly
man.

In the next instant, his figure abruptly retreated as he barked out at the same
time, “Lin Jing, go!”Seeing the situation up in the sky, Lin Jing was also swiftly
retreating. “You want her to go, but I won’t let her go. ” The grey-clothed elderly
man laughed as he strode forth.

His figure appeared right before Lin Jing as he lightly threw a palm towards the
latter. Lin Jing’s face turned slightly pale.

Eighth Grade Sovereign Realm wasn’t something that she could contend with.

Thus, she could only clench her teeth as she waited for the attack to arrive.
Whoosh!But just as Lin Jing closed her eyes, a figure had mysteriously arrived as
he embraced her and flew out. “If you want to save her, pay with your life first. ”
The grey-clothed elder lightly sighed.
His dried-up hand seemed like it had transcended space as he slapped towards Mu
Chen’s back, who was embracing Lin Jing. Pfffft. A mouthful of fresh blood spurt
out, his back was bloody and severely injured that even bones could be seen.

If it weren’t for his Lightning God’s Physique reaching the Nona Rune Lightning
Physique, he would have exploded from that palm alone. “Mu Chen!” Blood splattered
on Lin Jing’s face as she grew anxious while watching this scene. Mu Chen fell
down, he was still embracing the girl even when he landed.

His bloodied back was slamming on stones as the intense pain made him spurt another
mouthful of blood. Nine Nether’s eyes grew red in an instant as she watched this
scene.

She expanded her wings and was about to charge out, but she was tightly held up by
the black-clothed elderly man.

At this moment, she had also frantically unleashed her attacks, forcing the black-
clothed elderly man to be battered and exhausted. “Mu Chen, are you alright?!” Lin
Jing paid no attention to the blood on her face as she anxiously asked. Mu Chen
gritted his teeth, shaking his head as he pushed Lin Jing.

“Go!”“I’m not going!” Lin Jing dragged onto Mu Chen’s sleeve.

She knew that if she left, Mu Chen would definitely die. “You!” Mu Chen was
enraged, but the intense pain made him suck in a mouthful of air. He never thought
that things would end up this way.

He had still ultimately underestimated the force behind Liu Ming.

That sort of great power wasn’t something that the current him could fight against.
“Seems like we have made a blunder. ” Mu Chen bitterly smiled. “Having the guts to
kill the Young Palace Master of the Sky Profound Palace, you’re not that smart. ”
The grey-clothed elderly man appeared before Mu Chen and smiled. “I’ll send you on
your way. ”The grey-clothed elderly man’s dried hand pierced through space once
again, smacking down towards Mu Chen’s head. Mu Chen gritted his teeth as his eyes
became a little frenzied.

Even if he had to give it his all and reveal the immortal page, he wouldn’t just
sit and wait for death, even if they couldn’t escape. However, just as the grey-
clothed elderly man’s dried-up hand was about to land on Mu Chen’s head, space lit
up, and a ray of light streaked past. Pffft. The dry-up hand quietly fell off,
landing onto Mu Chen’s chest. The grey-clothed elderly man was slightly stunned as
he witnessed his hand suddenly being chopped off.

He was still in a daze, his mouth moved, but there was no voice coming out. He
slightly raised his head and saw the space behind Mu Chen somewhat distorted as a
slender figure faintly appeared. Along with her appearance, a bright and cold voice
resounded. “You dare to kill the princess of the Martial Realm, you’re foolish as
well. ”Hearing that familiar voice, Lin Jing abruptly raised her head, her
spiritual eyes were filled with joy as she exclaimed, “Mother?!”

Chapter 663 - Mysterious White-Dressed Lady “Mother?”Space fluctuated behind Mu

Chen as a figure gradually showed up, followed by Lin Jing’s exclamation of joy
becoming clear. Mu Chen also couldn’t help himself from turning over with shock as
he saw a white-dressed lady.

She was elegant, serene with absolute beauty.

Faintly, there were similarities between her and Lin Jing.

Her hair was tied together and her evidently cold temperament could stun others.
What made Mu Chen more astonished was that this white-dressed lady before his eyes
was the mother of Lin Jing.

From appearance, they didn’t seem like mother and daughter, they were more like
sisters. She was the one that quietly chopped the hand of the grey-clothed elderly
man off? Based on her words from before… the little princess of the Martial Realm,
was she talking about Lin Jing?Martial Realm?Mu Chen’s heart jolted as he looked at
Lin Jing, who was in his embrace with shock.

He never expected her to have such an unusual background.

Martial Realm was one of the significant forces that dominated one region in the
Great Thousand World, with the founder of the Martial Realm, Martial Ancestor being
one of the most powerful existences!Although the Sky Profound Palace was
formidable, it wasn’t much compared to the Martial Realm. Only now, did Mu Chen
come to an understanding about why Lin Jing would carry those powerful Defensive
Spiritual Jades all around her, she was the little princess of the Martial
Realm!“Mother, why are you here?”Lin Jing stared at the white-dressed lady with
wide eyes as she pounced over in joy. The white-dressed lady stretched her finger
and flicked Lin Jing’s forehead as she spoke in displeasure, “You actually dare to
sneak out, what guts you have. ”Her features were clear and cold, but when she
looked at the girl before her, they were filled with pampering. “It’s so boring at
home. ” Lin Jing held on her head as she spoke in a pitiful manner. “Your father
has already said that he will definitely not let you go so easily when you return
back this time. ”“Mother, you have to save me!” Lin Jing wore a pitiful expression
as she grabbed onto the sleeve of the white-dressed lady, “Wasn’t I coming out to
gain experience? Furthermore, you nearly lost me. ”Speaking of this, the white-
dressed lady narrowed her eyes.

In the next instant, cold surged in her pupils as she raised her head, looked at
the grey-clothed elderly man before her and said with indifference, “You’re pretty
daring. ”“Who are you?!” The grey-clothed elderly man recovered from his shock.

He did not bother about his separated hands as he exclaimed with a smear of dense
shock on his aged face. “You’re someone of the Martial Realm?!” He suddenly
recalled the words from before as he said in a hoarse voice with shock in his
heart. “Mother, don’t spare him, he was trying to kill me earlier.

If it wasn’t for Mu Chen, your daughter would definitely be with missing arms and
broken legs!” Lin Jing spoke out with indignation.

The white-dressed lady lowered her head as she looked at Mu Chen, who was seated on
the ground in a terrible state with a blooded back that exposed his bones.

Her voice turned gentle as she smiled, “Little Brother, thank you for that.

Are you alright?”Being addressed in this manner by such a lady with such a young
appearance made Mu Chen feel a little awkward as he scratched his head and smiled,
“I’m fine.

I have rough skin and tough meat, this is just a little injury. ”The white-dressed
lady glanced at the injury on his back and realised that purple Spiritual Energy
was flowing.

Among the purple Spiritual Energy, there seemed to be peculiar purple flames
wriggling.
His injuries were swiftly recovering in the places that the fire passed by,
displaying astonishing recovery ability. A smear of astonishment flashed across the
white-dressed lady’s face as she rested her heart.

She shifted her gaze towards the grey-clothed elderly man, whose face was
continually changing, as she spoke in a cold and calm voice, “Being so ruthless to
two kids, did you think that my Martial Realm is so easy to bully?”The grey-clothed
elderly man’s body trembled as his gaze changed.

In the next instant, his figure mysteriously flew out, drawing a streak of an
afterimage.

He appeared beside Liu Ming, who was heavily injured as he grabbed him and
attempted to escape. Far away, when the Heart Fairy Fox and the middle-aged man
witnessed this scene, they felt shock in their hearts and the dense shock was
revealed in their eyes.

Just who was that lady in white? She just showed herself and caused the Demonic
Human Elder, whose strength was of the Eighth Grade Sovereign Realm, to
flee?“Mother, don’t let him escape!” Seeing the old fellow attempting to escape,
Lin Jing quickly called out. The white-dressed lady nodded her head as she extended
her slender handout and gave a light lift. Rumble!The ground rumbled far away as a
colossal mountain was lifted from the ground.

The mountain was multi-coloured, dazzling with light.

If one were to sense it more attentively, they would realise that this mountain was
not from simple rocks, it was formed from purely Spiritual Energy.

The fluctuation of that Spiritual Energy was indescribably powerful. Whoosh!The

huge mountain lifted up and appeared up on the horizon with a flash.

After that, it heavily slammed down towards a direction, freezing the space of that
region and revealed two silhouettes, the Demonic Human Elder and Liu Ming. The
Demonic Human Elder raised his head in fear as he watched the colossal mountain
descending from the horizon and exclaimed, “Heaven and Earth Phase?!”In the
distance away, the Heart Fairy Fox duo also had their expressions changed as their
eyes were filled with shock.

It was actually the Heaven and Earth Phase, solely possessed by those of the Earth
Sovereign Realm. The lady in white before them was actually an Earth Sovereign?!
Heaven and Earth Phase represented the ability to create a mountain and river with
a wave of their hand, changing the terrains.

It was extremely profound.

If it was to destroy the terrain, Mu Chen could easily achieve it with his current
strength.

But if he were tasked to create land out of nothing, it would be difficult for him.
Rumble!The Spiritual Energy mountain pressed down, entirely sealing that space.

Even the grey-clothed elderly man couldn’t budge and could only watch the mountain
whistling over and pressing him. Pffft. The Spiritual Energy seemed to have gone
limp in the old man, his bones looked like they had shattered.

Fresh blood was spurting from his mouth as it was suppressed along with the
mountain. When the mountain made of Spiritual Energy landed on the ground, the
mountain that was of tens of thousands of meters became the tallest peak in this
region. As the Spiritual Energy was being suppressed, the old man couldn’t budge in
the slightest. Witnessing this scene, Mu Chen couldn’t help inhaling a mouthful of
cold air.

This was the first time that he had seen a genuine Earth Sovereign attacking.

The power that they could display with a wave of their hand was genuinely
terrifying. Far away, the black-clothed old man, who was being held up by Nine
Nether, sensed the movements over in this direction and was frightened out of his
wits.

There wasn’t any hesitation as he scurried off, no longer carrying the bearing of a
Sovereign expert. However, just when he was about to escape, he felt a dreadful
energy descending from the sky.

After that, he felt as if he had suffered a heavy impact and fell to the ground,
creating a massive crater in the ground. The colossal Nine Netherworld Bird was
swiftly shrinking in size, returning into a slender silhouette.

Nine Nether flew over and landed beside Mu Chen, she was a little amazed as she
looked at the mysterious lady in white that had appeared without her knowledge.
“It’s Lin Jing’s mother. ” Mu Chen gets up with great difficulty as he explained.
Nine Nether then understood and quickly helped Mu Chen as she nodded her head.
“Mother, how are we going to deal with those fellows?” Lin Jing chuckled. “They
will be suppressed in this location for five years. ” The lady in white spoke
casually as she waved her hand, sending the black-clothed old man beneath the
Spiritual Energy mountain to be suppressed.

The mountain started to slowly sink as it disappeared. Mu Chen was amazed as he

watched the Spiritual Energy mountain sink down.

The land was still flat, no one could have imagined that there were three
unfortunate fellows suppressed beneath the ground. Trapped for five years, the
grey-clothed old man might be able to survive with his cultivation of the Eighth
Grade Sovereign Realm, but his strength would significantly decline at that time.

As for Liu Ming, it was a question if he was even able to survive. However, Mu Chen
clearly wouldn’t pity them.

If it wasn’t for Lin Jing’s mother appearing earlier, their outcome might not be
any better. “Mother, you came at the right time!” Lin Jing held onto the lady-in-
white’s arm as she smiled. “Did you think that with that little capability of
yours, you can sneak out of the Martial Realm?” The lady-in-white was looking at
Lin Jing with ridicule as she continued, “If it weren’t for me following you the
whole time, you would have been dragged home by your father. ”Hearing her words,
Lin Jing instantly sunk down.

The escape plan that she had initially thought to be perfect had ended up being so
worthless. Mu Chen was inwardly wiping his sweat.

Fortunately, he didn’t have any ill intentions for Lin Jing.

Otherwise, he might have been killed by this mother of hers that was hidden in the
dark. The Great Thousand World was truly dangerous. Mu Chen inwardly sighed, he
initially had a low opinion of Liu Ming.

But he never imagined that this fellow would have such a fearsome Elder protecting
him, causing him to nearly fail miserably. “This Little Brother…” the lady in white
looked at Mu Chen. “Senior can address me as Mu Chen…” Mu Chen scratched his head
as he felt the manner of the address being awkward. The lady-in-white smiled, her
smile was charming.

She had been following Lin Jing, so she naturally knew how Mu Chen treated Lin
Jing.

Thus, she had a favourable opinion of him as well, revealing a rare smile on her
face as she said in a gentle voice, “Then I’ll call you Xiao Chen.

Pass me that Mustard Seed Bracelet from earlier. ”There wasn’t any hesitation when
Mu Chen retrieved it and handed it over to the lady-in-white.

With the latter’s identity, he did not worry that she would take fancy to those
items. The lady-in-white was somewhat satisfied with Mu Chen’s straightforward
actions.

She took it and rays of light surged on her palm, entering into the Mustard Seed
Bracelet for a brief moment before retracting. “There’s an imprint left behind by
an Earth Sovereign expert in this Mustard Seed Bracelet.

If you had just taken it this way, you would probably be sensed by him.

However, now that I have removed it, there’s nothing to worry about anymore. ” The
lady-in-white spoke as she handed the Mustard Seed Bracelet back to Mu Chen. Mu
Chen wiped his forehead of sweat.

Although he wasn’t rash enough to look in the Mustard Seed Bracelet, he never
thought that there would be an imprint left behind by an Earth Sovereign expert.

It should probably be left by the Palace Master of the Sky Profound Palace. “I
thank Senior for this. ” Mu Chen gratefully thanked her. The lady-in-white smiled
as she shook her head and pamperly rubbed Lin Jing’s head, “You have saved Xiao
Jing.

If you don’t mind, you can call me Aunt Ling. ”

Chapter 664 - Mistress of the Martial Realm, Ling Qingzhu Hearing the gentle tone
from the lady-in-white before him, the guard in Mu Chen’s heart he had for
strangers weakened.

Although the lady’s expression was cold, perhaps it was because of Lin Jing that
her gentle face could be seen. Mu Chen scratched his head and did not refuse, “Aunt
Ling. ”Since Lin Jing was the princess of the Martial Realm, this lady-in-white
before him should undoubtedly be the mistress of the Martial Realm.

That identity of hers was indeed frightening.

If he could depend on it, she would definitely be a huge backing. However, Mu Chen
did not overthink about that matter.

The reason why he got close to Lin Jing wasn’t because of her identity.

He just had a favourable opinion only on her spiritual nature and wittiness alone,
although she was a little too carefree. As for having a backing or not, Mu Chen
didn’t care about that as he knew that he could only depend on himself if he wanted
to become a mighty figure.

In this world, just the strength that belonged to you was the most reliable. The
lady-in-white lightly smiled as she nodded her head, her laughter was bright and
pleasant to listen to.

Even after having a daughter, it was still so charming.

Seeing her, Mu Chen couldn’t help recalling his own mother. Both of them were so
outstanding. “Let me handle the matter here, first. ” The lady-in-white abruptly
turned her head as she smiled, looking into the distance. Mu Chen and the rest were
stunned for a brief moment, before their expressions turned ugly.

There’s someone here? Then their mission this time was a little failure. Far away,
hidden on the mountain, when Heart Fairy Fox and the middle-aged man saw the lady-
in-white looking in their direction, their faces instantly changed and they
immediately retreated. However, they had only just moved, before realisinh that the
earth beneath them was bulging up.

Stone spikes that were as sharp as swords swiftly extended from the ground, they
were flickering with multiple colours.

Clearly, they were the same as the mountain from before, formed with the purest
Spiritual Energy. The stone spikes firmly stuck close to the two of them, making
them not daring to move in the slightest. “Senior, we have no ill intentions!”
Heart Fairy Fox’s ample chest gently heaved as she tried her best to calm her voice
down. Space faintly fluctuated before them as the lady-in-white strode out.

She lightly knitted her brows as she watched the two of them, she seemed to be
hesitating if she should suppress them as well. “Senior, we are of the Celestial
Fox Sect.

Please let us go to the face of the Celestial Fox Queen. ” The middle-aged man
swiftly said. “Celestial Fox Sect?” Hearing that name, the lady-in-white’s gaze
turned funny as she smiled, “So, you’re under the Hu Meizi of the Celestial Fox
Sect. ”“Senior knows our Sect Master?” Heart Fairy Fox enquired in a low voice.

“I have seen her once before, except that she had her eyes only for my husband.

However, the charm behind her Great Celestial Fox Art wasn’t sufficient,” smiled
the lady-in-white. The faces of the Heart Fairy Fox and the middle-aged man grew
red.

They wanted to refute her claims in their hearts, but they didn’t dare to do that.

The lady-in-white before them had an appearance that wasn't inferior to their Sect
Master in many aspects.

Although Heart Fairy Fox was also alluring, she was a little dull when standing
before her. “May I ask who this Senior might be?” Heart Fairy Fox clenched her
teeth and couldn’t hold herself back from asking.

The Sect Master was her most respected person.

No one knew how many experts would do anything for her just for her smile.

She refused to believe that the husband of this lady before her could let her Sect
Master lose her composure. “Martial Realm, Ling Qingzhu,” said the lady-in-white.
Hearing the few words, Heart Fairy Fox’s face drastically changed.

She looked at the lady-in-white before her in disbelief as she muttered, “Mistress
of the Martial Realm, Ling Qingzhu?”She finally understood, since this person that
stood before her was the mistress of the Martial Realm, her husband would naturally
be the founder of the Martial Realm, the overpowering existence in the Great
Thousand World, Martial Ancestor Lin Dong. Although the eyesight of her Sect Master
was high, it was understandable for her to be moved by such a powerful figure in
the Great Thousand World. Heart Fairy Fox was speechless as she muttered a sound
and did not dare to speak again. Ling Qingzhu did not bother with such a child.

She waved her hand, causing those stone spikes to slowly retract into the ground.

The noiseless changes made the hearts of others feel cold. “Pretend that the both
of you have seen nothing today,” said Ling Qingzhu. Although she did not place the
Sky Profound Palace in her eyes, Mu Chen couldn’t afford to do that.

If the news spread, it would definitely cause trouble for him. “Senior can be rest
assured, we’re both well-aware. ” Heart Fairy Fox nodded her head.

She was also incredibly witty as she understood what was to say and what wasn’t.

After all, the Martial Realm was a colossal figure that they couldn’t afford to
offend. Ling Qingzhu nodded her head and spoke nothing else, quietly disappearing
from her initial spot. As she disappeared, Heart Fairy Fox and the middle-aged man
felt relieved, with sweat covering their foreheads. “How terrifying. ” The middle-
aged man spoke with fear as he continued, “The mistress of the Martial Realm’s
strength has probably reached a terrifying height.

Perhaps even our Sect Master might not be her opponent. ”“That can’t be! Sect
Master is also of the Earth Sovereign Realm, she might be a little inferior, but…”
Heart Fairy Fox exclaimed. “With her strength, those weren’t what you sensed.

I have cultivated a Sensory Divine Art, thus being extremely sensitive to sensing.

Under my sensing earlier, she was like a bottomless ocean.

Although Earth Sovereign Realm experts are fearsome, it probably wasn’t till her
level…” The middle-aged man gulped down a mouthful of saliva as he spoke. “Could it
be…” Heart Fairy Fox’s eyes shrank as she muttered, “Could it be that this mistress
of the Martial Realm… has also stepped into the realm of Heavenly Sovereign? The
Martial Realm’s strength was so terrifying?”Generally speaking, as long as there’s
a Heavenly Sovereign existence in a force, it was sufficient for it to become a
significant force in the Great Thousand World.

But judging from this, the Martial Realm had more than one?“If the Martial Realm
wasn’t powerful, how can they back up such a clan like the Ice Spiritual Clan that
has such a long history? Furthermore, it is said that two mistresses in the Martial
Realm possessed fearsome strength.

This is just one of them…” the middle-aged man sighed as he felt how fearsome the
Martial Realm was in his heart.

The lady-in-white earlier still wasn’t a genuine Heavenly Sovereign, but she
definitely had half a step into that realm. “How is that kid related to the Martial
Realm? Even the mistress of the Martial Realm came out…” Heart Fairy Fox was in
doubt.

It wasn’t possible for such an existence to usually show themselves, so why would
she appear here?“The young girl does look a little alike to her…” The middle-aged
man pondered for a brief moment, before the two people looked at each other and
understood what was going on. “Seems like Liu Ming is truly unfortunate.
Then again, it was considered good news for us that the Sky Profound Palace
suffered such a huge blow. ” Heart Fairy Fox smiled as she no longer dared to dally
any longer.

With a move of her figure, she was already swiftly flying towards the distance.

Seeing her action, the middle-aged man followed as well. Mu Chen saw the lady-in-
white appearing in the original spot once again.

He felt ashamed when he realised that they were being spied on.

He who had been cautious the whole time had made too many mistakes this time. Lin
Jing held onto Ling Qingzhu’s arm as she chuckled.

Her pitch-black pupils were continually rolling around, but before she even did
something, Ling Qingzhu already flicked her forehead. “Don’t think of any more
ideas.

Your father has already said to bring you back, a must.

Otherwise, I won’t be the one appearing the next time, it will be your father. ”
Ling Qingzhu smiled. Hearing her words, Lin Jing immediately had a bitter
expression on her face. “Mother, why don’t you allow me to stay outside for a
little longer. ” Lin Jing begged. Ling Qingzhu shook her head, showing that there
was no room for discussion. Lin Jing sunk her head down, but she raised it up
shortly after as she looked at Mu Chen with expectation, “Mu Chen, why don’t you go
to the Martial Realm with me, it’s fun there. ”“With me looking after you, no one
will bully you!”Hearing her words, Mu Chen was a little awkward.

After all, the Martial Realm was a high power in the Great Thousand World.

Who knows how many experts tried getting in but were rejected.

But he wasn’t too interested in this matter, finding a powerful backing wasn’t his
motive in coming to the Great Thousand World…Perhaps with the protection of the
Martial Realm, no one would dare to provoke him.

But that wasn’t what he wanted, if that was indeed the case, he might not even have
the courage to meet Luo Li. Thus, he could only shake his head at Lin Jing’s
request.

“Although the Martial Realm is good, it’s not suitable for me. ”“Why?” Lin Jing
pouted as she spoke out in a dissatisfied manner. Lin Qingzhu took another glance
at the youth, she saw the struggle in the youth’s eye, she couldn’t help smiling
when she saw that struggle. Because a long time ago, when she was of his age, she
had seen a youth with such struggles in his eyes as well.

After that, the youth had already become her husband. “If there’s anything you need
me to help, you can come to the Martial Realm. ” Ling Qingzhu said softly.

Not only was she not unsatisfied when she saw the youth rejecting the Martial
Realm’s invitation, she felt satisfied and admiration instead.

Thus, she who has always been cold had taken the initiative to give out the
request. “Thank you, Aunt Jing.

If there’s that day, I will definitely come. ” Mu Chen nodded as he said earnestly.
“Lin Jing, why don’t you go back to Martial Realm and behave yourself.
We’ll wait till you get stronger and I’ll play together with you.

Right now, we’ll bid our farewell. ” Mu Chen gave Lin Jing a smile.

He did not continue on speaking as he cupped his fist at Ling Qingzhu and flew out.
Nine Nether had also lightly nodded her head at Ling Qingzhu as she followed up.
Seeing how unloyal was Mu Chen to abandon her, Lin Qing stomped her feet in anger.
“This youth does seem interesting. ” Ling Qingzhu looked at Mu Chen’s leaving
figure as she smiled. “Just a fool. ” Lin Jing cast her lips aside.

She had given out an invitation to the Martial Realm, didn’t he know that a single
guidance was a hundred times better than blindly probing?“He’s not a fool. ”Ling
Qingzhu rubbed Lin Jing’s head as there were smile and admiration in her cold eyes.
“He’s an ambitious youth… an ambitious heart that was similar to your father when
he was young.

Except it’s unsure of his future…”“You actually compared him with father?” Lin Jing
widened her eyes.

In her heart, her father was the most outstanding person in the world.

Back then, he wreaked havoc at the Ice Spiritual Clan to rescue Aunt Bing.

Every time when she recalls this matter, she would feel that her father was just
too cool. Right now, there was an indescribable gap between Mu Chen and her father.
Ling Qingzhu smiled as she raised her eyes and spoke softly, “It’s still unsure to
determine the future…”

Chapter 665 - Liu Tiandao Streaks of light flew across the horizon.

Mu Chen turned into a ray of light as he blew through the horizon.

The injuries on his back had already recovered at this moment, his recovery speed
even made him felt astonished.

Clearly, the fearsome recovery was because of the Undying Flame merged in his
spiritual energy.

If it were in the past, Mu Chen would definitely have to rest to recover before
continuing the journey.

“This Undying Flame was indeed profound.

” Mu Chen couldn’t help sighing.

Shortly after, he turned his head over to the distant and sighed.

Clearly, he had yet to recover from Lin Jing’s identity as the little princess of
the Martial Realm.

“Why? You can’t reluctant now?” Nine Nether appeared behind Mu Chen as she was
staring at him with a strange gaze, “The Martial Realm is so much more powerful
compared to the Great Havenlaw Domain.

You would actually refuse?”Mu Chen let out a faint smile as he spoke in a light
tone, “Perhaps I will be protected upon joining the Martial Realm, and no one would
provoke me, but so what?”“The supreme expert that I was referring to wasn’t this.
”As he spoke, the youth narrowed his eyes with a slight smile, “Furthermore… why
can’t I accomplish something that this Martial Ancestor has accomplished?”“Your
ambition isn’t small.

” Nine Nether spoke as she raised her brows.

“Haha, although I might be overestimating myself a little, if I do not even have

that courage, what am I going to talk about supreme expert?” Mu Chen laughed as
self-confidence brilliance in his black pupils.

Nine Nether smiled hearing his words as she shifted her gaze towards the distant,
“There should be the Teleportation Spiritual Array to the Skylaw Continent in the
next city.

At that time, we will be able to end our two months journey.

Mu Chen silently felt relieved, two months of the rush journey wasn’t easy.

But at the very least, it had finally come to an end.

Mu Chen clenched his teeth as he retrieves the Meru Bracelet that he had seized
from Liu Ming.

He injected spiritual energies in, and the light flickered, followed by two rays of
light appearing in his hand.

Among the two rays of light, one was blazing as a sun, the other was withered dry
as it quietly floated, emitting strange spiritual energy fluctuations.

Mu Chen’s gaze was heated as he looked at them, he couldn’t help lifting a smile
from the corner of his lips.

He was a little excited in his heart as he had finally collected the three
materials required to refine the Great Solar Undying Body.

It wasn’t easy.

Mu Chen sighed in his heart.

If he were to remain in the Northern Heavens Spiritual Academy, he might never be

able to fully collect the materials required.

“When do you intend to refine your Sovereign Celestial Body?”Nine Nether stared at
the two lump of light as she enquired.

If Mu Chen genuinely intended to compete for the Domain Lord of the Great Havenlaw
Domain, then he would definitely have to experience an intense competition.

Furthermore, his competitors would all be excellent figures of the Skylaw

Continent.

They wouldn’t be weaker compared to Liu Ming, who relied on resources.

Furthermore, even if Mu Chen succeeded in seizing the title, he would at least have
to refine his Sovereign Celestial Body.

Otherwise, it would be too much of a loss for him.

“Refining the Sovereign Celestial Body isn’t something that can be accomplished in
a day or two.

I’ll start refining it when we arrive in the Great Havenlaw Domain.

” Mu Chen spoke out after pondering.

The Great Solar Undying Body wasn’t that ordinary stuff, no one knows what would
happen in the midst of refining it.

There are only the two of them here, if troubles were to come unfortunately and
caused his refinery to fail, it would be a significant loss for him.

After all, the three materials that he had gathered would be destroyed if he failed
in refining it.

Nine Nether nodded her head.

“Then let us speed up.

”Nine Nether looked at the distance as reminisce surged in her slender eyes.

It had been so many years since she left the Great Havenlaw Domain, she didn’t have
any idea what had the Nine Nether Palace become right now.

Boundless spiritual energies surged from the two of them as they turned into
streaks of light, swiftly shuttling across the horizon.

In a blink of an eye, they had already disappeared in the background.

…Skylaw Continent, Sky Profound Palace.

The Sky Profound Palace sat at the extreme north of the Skylaw Continent as one of
the major power in the continent.

The Sky Profound Palace also possessed high status as they controlled vast
territories.

If it was simply based on scale, it was even bigger compared to ten Northern
Heavens Continent added together.

In the vast territory, the Sky Profound Palace was the only controller of them.

Although there were forces beneath them, they had all existed by attaching
themselves to the Sky Profound Palace.

Every year, they would have to submit a large amount of Sovereign Spiritual Liquid
as offerings.

At this moment, in the central region of the Sky Profound Palace, was an
indescribable golden palace.

Clouds surrounded it as it emitted golden light, it was like a celestial realm that
was prestigious and faintly discernible.

The depth of the golden palace was filled with spiritual energy.

There was as if a light lotus that sat at the central area of the palace, with a
silhouette quietly sat on the lotus.
That silhouette was like a boulder.

There was a rhythm to his breathing, every single one would be accompanied with
gale and thunder roaring, causing the vast spiritual energies to whistle like an
ocean.

All of a sudden, the silhouette that was submerged in cultivation state opened his
eyes.

Rays of light that seemed as if it could pierce through space along with anger
surfacing.

He extended out his hand as a simple and unadorned jade pendant appeared.

Right at this moment, the lustre of the jade pendant was gradually dimming down.

“Ming’er’s soul imprint if getting weak… outrageous, someone actually dared to harm
the son of mine, Liu Tiandao!” sharpness surged in the eyes of the silhouette as
his deep voice blew up gale in the palace.

He flicked his finger, causing the jade pendant to fly out.

He made seals with his hand as spiritual energy enveloped the jade pendant as he
attempted to probe to the location of Liu Ming.

However, he probed for a long time but there was no reaction from the jade pendant,
there wasn’t any news coming from it.

“Unable to probe? How is that possible?!” that figure exclaimed out as he abruptly
stood up.

spiritual energy retracted around him, revealing a middle-aged man donned in azure
robes.

His eyes were as abstruse as the starry sky, emitting great pressure in his every
action.

This person was the Palace Master of the Sky Profound Palace, also the well-famed
peak expert in the Skylaw Continent, Liu Tiandao.

At this moment, his face was gloomy as his gaze flickered with light.

At this instance, Liu Ming was naturally being trapped.

Furthermore, the strength of the one that acted would undoubtedly be extremely
terrifying as well.

Otherwise, it wouldn’t be possible to shut off his probings.

“I will take a look, who was it that dared to harm my son!”Liu Tiandao coldly
snorted as he waved his sleeve shortly.

A massive eight trigrams light plate appeared.

Soon after, he flicked his finger, causing the soul imprint to shatter as a ray of
light shot into the eight trigrams plate.

“Buzz! Buzz!”The eight trigrams plate begun to spin as extremely profound light
runes surged out, wrapping that golden light as space above the eight trigrams
distorted as if it was trying to investigate something through space.

The space distorted as it tore a small spatial crack.

Upon seeing this, Liu Tiandao strode a step in, and his figure disappeared in an
instant.

Merchant Continent, the land that Liu Ming was suppressed in.

Space distorted as a figure stepped out of it a brief moment later, appearing in

the sky.

His sharp gaze swept in this region as he focused on land.

Light gathered in his eyes as if he was looking through the ground and saw a
spiritual energy mountain.

“Heaven and Earth Phase? It was actually an Earth Sovereign Realm?” Liu Tiandao’s
face slightly changed as rage splurged forth in his eyes.

He coldly snorted and waved his sleeve, causing the ground below to crack in an
instant.

As the earth split apart, a massive spiritual energy mountain appeared.

Liu Tiandao’s figure moved, landing on the peak of the mountain as he formed seals
shortly after.

A ray of light shot out, enveloping the massive mountain.

He was trying to dissolve this massive mountain made of spiritual energy, returning
it to its initial state.

However, as time passes, Liu Tiandao’s face gradually turned ugly as he realised
that his actions weren’t sufficient.

In the spiritual energy mountain, there seemed to be a force resisting, containing

the intent of the mysterious expert that acted.

“What ruthless means.

”Liu Tiandao’s face was cold, the person that acted seemed to have fixed on the
idea of suppressing Liu Ming here.

With the latter’s strength, being suppressed any longer would be equivalent to
death.

Although Liu Tiandao also had the strength of an Earth Sovereign Realm, he was
unable to dissolve the spiritual energy mountain in a short time.

If he were to break it with force, he was afraid that he would hurt Liu Ming, who
was suppressed beneath.

Looks like this time, Liu Ming seems to have offended someone that he shouldn’t.

“No matter who you are, even if my son was in the wrong, it’s not up to you to
suppress.

” Liu Tiandao’s gaze changed as he issued a cold snort, he waved his sleeves and
left.

Since the mysterious expert wishes to compete with him, he would gladly accompany
to the end.

When he retrieves the Divine Artifact from the palace, he refuses to believe that
this intent left behind in the mountain could contend against him.

As Liu Tiandao left, the earth rumbled again as the massive mountain was being
covered up once again…With regards to this matter, as the protagonist, Mu Chen and
Nine Nether were unaware.

Right now, the two of them was rushing to the next city as quickly as possible to
activate the Teleportation Spiritual Array.

In the instant of the Spiritual Array opening, Mu Chen couldn’t help inhaling a
deep breath as dense expectation rose in his eyes.

Skylaw Continent, I’m here.

My path of an expert shall begin here.

Chapter 666 - Greatlaw Sky Skylaw ContinentAs one of the famed major continents of
the Great Thousand World, the wideness and flourishes of this continent far
surpassed Mu Chen’s expectations.

Forces were as innumerable as stars, embellishing in this area.

The mix here made others sigh.

But it was because of being too complicated, there wasn’t a true Overlord in this
major continent as no forces managed to achieve that.

Not even a Heavenly Sovereign expert could unite the entire Skylaw Continent.

The reason was that it was just too vast, with crouching tigers and hidden dragons
as well.

No one knew if there would be a supreme expert hidden in the wild mountains.

Thus, major powers stood on equal grounds on the Skylaw Continent.

Although there were endless conquests, there would be numerous forces being
swallowed up every single day.

But at the same time, there were also numerous forces emerging like blooms after
the rain.

Giving an endless supply of fresh blood and vitality to this major continent.

It was because of this chaos that made others feel shocked in this major continent
as there would continuously be all sorts of geniuses appearing and showing their
prominent moments.

…Great Havenlaw DomainAs one of the peak forces in the Skylaw Continent, it
possessed vast territory as well.

The size of the territory far surpassed the Northern Heavens Continent.
But in the Skylaw Continent, it could only be considered as a small region.

Thus, when Mu Chen arrived in the Skylaw Continent for the first time, he nearly
went through a week of travel, passing through a dozen Teleportation Spiritual
Arrays before reaching the territory near the Great Havenlaw Domain.

After that, he went through two days of journey before reaching the headquarters
region of the Great Havenlaw Domain.

Greatlaw SkyMu Chen stood on a mountain that was tens of thousands of meters.

He raised his head, looking right before him.

His attractive face was filled with dense shock as what appeared before him was a
floating island in the horizon.

But, rather than calling it a floating island, it was more like a small-scaled
continent.

Its majestic presence was astonishing.

The floating continent was enveloped by dazzling light, with many halls sitting
within it.

There were also endless streaks of light across the horizon.

The scene was exceptionally stunning.

Even from a distance, Mu Chen could still vaguely sense the Spiritual Energy
fluctuations of countless experts.

“This is the headquarters of the Great Havenlaw Domain, the Greatlaw Sky.

” Nine Nether stood beside Mu Chen as she placed a hand over her eyes while having
another at her waist.

Her figure was slender and tall to begin with.

Thus, there was an ample curve on her fair neck.

Her slim waist and that pair of long legs of hers that would attract the most
attention instantly formed a beautiful and alluring curve.

The curve was gorgeous.

It was so much so that even Mu Chen left his gaze on her for a brief moment when he
casually glanced over.

“How formidable.

” Mu Chen swiftly retracted his gaze before he angered Nine Nether.

Shortly after, he sighed in his heart.

The Northern Heavens Spiritual Academy paled in comparison to the Greatlaw Sky that
was before his eyes.

The Great Havenlaw Domain was indeed as formidable as its fame.

“Let’s go.

We will probably be staying here for a period of time.

” Nine Nether smiled as she spoke.

Mu Chen nodded his head as well as he looked at the floating Greatlaw Sky and
slowly clenched his fist.

His journey in the Great Thousand World would begin in this place.

Nine Nether flew out first and directly flew towards the hovering Greatlaw Sky on
the horizon, with Mu Chen closely following behind.

As they gradually got closer, the Greatlaw Sky had also started to be more
distinct.

Mu Chen also started to feel how vast it was.

Just looking with his eyes alone, he couldn’t see an end to it.

He could only see the innumerable streaks of light across the horizon.

There was a massive Spiritual Array myriad feet above the sky of the Greatlaw Sky.

The Spiritual Array formed into a light screen that shrouded it, guarding the
entire Greatlaw Sky within as fearsome Spiritual Energy fluctuations faintly
rippled, causing space to endlessly distort.

“This is the Protection Spiritual Array.

Rumour has it that not even Earth Sovereign experts could easily break through it…”
Nine Nether pointed at the Spiritual Array as she spoke.

Mu Chen also nodded as he had sensed how amazing that Spiritual Array was.

Outside the Greatlaw Sky, there was a colossal door of light.

It was roughly thousands of feet high with a tunnel of light behind it, linking
into the Greatlaw Sky.

That was the only passage into the Greatlaw Sky.

Nine Nether and Mu Chen landed before the massive light door.

“Hold your steps, the Greatlaw Sky forbids the intrusion of others.

Anyone that violates this will be killed!”As the two of them landed, a bark rang
out.

Hundreds of silhouettes donned in black armour held long spears as piercing light
flashed in their eyes.

Killing intent quietly emitted off their bodies.

Nine Nether maintained a calm expression as she stretched out her hand.

A black light flashed and landed on the captain of the black armour troop.
The latter received it as the light faded away and a black plaque was revealed.

On the plaque, there was a soaring blackbird with cries faintly resounding.

“Nine Nether Plaque?”Seeing the plaque, the captain of the black armour troop was
instantly startled as he immediately kneeled down to one knee.

Behind him, the hundreds of warriors had also kneeled down to one knee as the
tinkling of metal armour rang out crisp and clear.

“We greet Nine Nether King!”Nine Nether made a waving gesture as the plaque flew
back to her.

She lightly nodded her head and passed through the light door with Mu Chen directly
behind her, disappearing at the end of the passage.

Only after she left did those warriors donned in black armour stand up in an
orderly fashion.

“Captain, could that lady be Nine Nether King, who has been missing for all those
years?” A black-armoured warrior walked towards their captain and couldn’t help
asking.

“Yeah.

The Nine Nether Plaque can't be faked.

”The captain nodded his head as he looked at the direction that Nine Nether had
disappeared in.

“It’s said that back then, Nine Nether King was the weakest among the nine kings.

However, she was from the Nine Nether Bird Clan and had the support of the Lord Sky
Vulture Emperor to become one of the nine kings.

But earlier, I sensed a pressure coming from her that wasn’t any weaker than the
eight other kings.

Looks like her Tribulation was a success.

”“But after all these years, the situation in the Nine Nether Palace has gone from
bad to worst.

If it weren’t for the Sky Vulture Emperor, it would have long been disbanded… right
now, the Nine Nether Palace is entirely a display.

” A warrior sighed.

“Yeah… even that Domain Lord that Nine Nether King of the Nine Nether Palace
nurtured has gone under the Blood Hawk King, Lord Wang Zhong… Back then, Nine
Nether King had rescued that fellow from the battlefield and provided him with a
large amount of cultivated resources.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have those achievements of his today.

”“Yeah, what an ungrateful wretch.

”“…”The whispers of conversation were, naturally, not heard by Nine Nether and Mu
Chen.

After passing through the light passage, their eyes lit up as the majestic Greatlaw
Sky became distinct before their eyes.

Mu Chen looked at the scene before his eyes and couldn’t help sighing.

“Where are we going first?” Mu Chen approached Nine Nether and asked.

“Let’s go to my Nine Nether Palace first, it’s my territory.

It has been so many years, I wonder how they are all doing.

” Nine Nether smiled as she looked at the northwest direction with reminiscence in
her eyes.

“You have your own palace as well?” Mu Chen was a little astonished.

“No shit Sherlock, I’m one of the nine kings.

My position in the Greatlaw Sky isn’t low.

” Nine Nether rolled her eyes at Mu Chen as she spoke with high pride.

“In the past, whenever you saw me, you had to act as those fellows from earlier.

Otherwise, you would be offending your superiors.

”Mu Chen laughed without giving any face, “You can dream on.

”Nine Nether waved her small fist at him and couldn’t control her laughter.

She no longer joked around with Mu Chen, turning towards the northwest direction
and flew with Mu Chen closely following behind.

Up in the sky of the Greatlaw Sky, there were orderly streaks of light flying
across from time to time.

They were the patrol troops of the Greatlaw Sky to prevent any abnormalities.

Mu Chen looked at the awe-inspiring troops as he inwardly smacked his lips.

It took them roughly half an hour before Nine Nether gradually decreased her speed.

Mu Chen raised his head to look ahead.

He saw a towering mountain that pierced through the clouds.

The mountain faintly had the shape of a large bird with its wings unfolded,
covering the earth and sky.

At the peak of the mountain, there was a majestic palace.

Nine Nether looked at the palace as a smile came up on her face.

Shortly after, she moved out and had directly appeared above that palace.

Before the palace was a vast training field.

At this moment, there were thousands of silhouettes seated as they cultivated.

Sitting at the front of those silhouettes were two girls that were quietly sitting.

One of the two girls was donned in black training clothes, while the other one had
light-red clothes.

The appearance of those two girls was elegant and exquisite.

Furthermore, what made others dumbfounded was that the two girls actually had the
same appearance, they were actually a pair of twins.

Except, among the two girls, the face of the one donned in black training clothes
was a little cold, while the other one in light-red clothes looked a little gentle.

They had different temperaments, even though they possessed a similar appearance.

It was this fact that made others feel attracted to them.

At the very least, there were some among those i the training field that couldn’t
help peeking over.

“Hmm?”Suddenly, the girl in black opened her eyes with a cold and sharp light
flashing across them.

She abruptly raised her head and said in a solemn voice, “Who is it?”Everyone in
the training field raised their heads with their guards up as Spiritual Energies
surged around them.

“Haha, Xiao Bing’er is more and more formidable now…” Tender laughter rang out in
the sky as a figure slowly descended before the palace.

The girl in black was dumbfounded as she looked at the figure that had descended.

The cold and sharp light that was initially in her eyes dissolved in an instant as
her eyes nearly turned red.

The gentle girl before her had disbelief written on her face as she looked at the
person before them.

In the next instant, she had directly pounced over, her charming eyes were bright
red, like a rabbit.

“Big Sister Nine Nether, you’re finally back!”Nine Nether embraced the girl that
pounced over as she looked at her reddened eyes.

She felt a little sour in her nose as she rubbed her head and gently said, “Yeah,
Big Sister is back…”
Chapter 667 - Nine Nether Palace Before the palace, the thousands of figures were
blankly staring at Nine Nether.

They only recovered a brief moment later and all of them kneeled down to one knee
as their respectful voices rang out across the horizon, ““We welcome Lord back to
the palace!””Dense joy was contained in their voices.

They never imagined that their lord of the Nine Nether Palace would return at this
time.

They had initially thought that the lord of the Nine Nether Palace would never
again return.

The ear-deafening voices also made Nine Nether feel startled.

When she left, there weren’t so many people in the Nine Nether Palace.

Furthermore, she wasn’t good at management matters.

Thus, things would be in a complete mess most of the time and not as majestic as
today.

“You two sisters have already done a pretty good job, managing the Nine Nether
Palace to become such a state.

” Nine Nether held onto the girl in her embrace as she happily smiled.

“This is all Big Sister’s hard work.

” The light-red clothes girl that seemed gentle and weak shyly said as she rubbed
her eyes.

Nine Nether smiled as she looked at the girl in black.

The latter was biting on her rosy lips, the cold and sharp light that was initially
in her eyes disappeared.

However, she was evidently more controlled.

Although she was excited in her heart, she did not lose her composure as she
slightly bowed.

“I welcome Lord’s return to the Palace.

”“Xiao Bing’er, I have told you before to call me Big Sister.

”Nine Nether held her hand as she showed tender love in her eyes.

“It must have been tough on you guys for all these years, right? It’s all my fault,
I nearly couldn’t make it back.

”“Lord…” The girl in black hastily shook her head.

But when she saw Nine Nether staring at her, she immediately changed her way of
addressing her, “How can I dare to blame Big Sister.

When Big Sister left, you left the Nine Nether Palace to us sisters.

So we would naturally give our very best for it.

”“Nine Nether Palace was just a showpiece, only you are stubborn.

” Nine Nether said helplessly.

Back then, she was the weakest amongst the nine kings, with her strength back then.

Thus, many people were unhappy with her position as a king, but they didn’t dare to
say anything with the Sky Vulture Emperor and her background.

However, when she left, the two girls must have suffered quite a bit with their
strength.

That girl, Tang Bing, was also exceptionally stubborn, so even if she suffered
anything, she would grit her teeth and endure it.

Thinking about all those years that the two sisters must have suffered in silence,
Nine Nether felt heartache.

“Right…”Nine Nether looked around as she seemed to have recalled something and
asked with her brows furrowed, “Where’s Cao Feng? Back then, when I left, I had
instructed him to assist you.

”Hearing that name, the faces of the two girls slightly changed.

The girl in black named Tang Bing bit on her rosy lips as she briefly hesitated.

But ultimately, she inhaled a deep breath and explained, “Big Sister… Cao Feng, he…
has joined the Blood Hawk King… he has already left our Nine Nether Palace.

” As she finished her words, she saw Nine Nether, who was smiling, change her face
as the atmosphere became a little frozen.

The feeble girl in Nine Nether’s embrace clenched her teeth as she said with
indignation, “Cao Feng is an ungrateful wretch.

Seeing as there wasn’t any news of Big Sister for a year, he left the Nine Nether
Palace and joined the Blood Hawk King.

”“Back then, if it wasn’t for Big Sister taking pity on him and saving him from the
pile of corpses, if it wasn’t for big sister, he could have had such achievements
today!”Nine Nether lightly patted the girl’s head as she sighed, “I know Cao Feng
has a strong heart utilitarian, but I never expected that he couldn’t even last a
few years.

”There was a little disappointment in her voice.

Back then, the things that the youth had undergone were rather pitiful, which moved
her compassion and helped him.

But she never thought that his character would be so disappointing.

“Big Sister, rest assured, we won’t let that traitor off in the future!” Tang Bing
gritted her teeth as she spoke.

Although Nine Nether wasn’t too bothered by Cao Feng’s betrayal, Tang Bing couldn’t
endure it.

Back then, her family was entirely murdered by enemies in chaos.

If it wasn’t for Nine Nether, the two sisters would have definitely end up worse
than dead.

Therefore, they had treated Nine Nether as their benefactor.

Thus, they couldn’t endure anything that would hurt Nine Nether.

If it wasn’t for the Nine Nether Palace’s strength being weak and they still had a
step to breakthrough to the Sovereign Realm, they definitely wouldn’t forgive that
traitor!Nine Nether smiled after hearing their words.
She wasn’t too hurt by Cao Feng’s betrayal.

After all, she clearly had more affection for the two sisters before her eyes.

Their persistence made her feel gratified.

“Big Sister will never leave you guys anymore.

” Nine Nether smiled and shifted her gaze to Tang Bing, “Xiao Bing’er, you seem to
have yet to breakthrough to the Sovereign Realm?”When she left, Tang Bing had
already achieved the Heavenly Completion Stage, just a step away from the Three
Sovereign Disasters.

According to her talent and in addition to the resources in the Great Havenlaw
Domain, it’s impossible for her to have yet to make her breakthrough.

Tang Bing’s face turned red as she lightly nodded her head.

“Big sister Nine Nether, don’t blame big sister.

Big sister hasn’t used a single Sovereign Spiritual Liquid in her cultivation.

Those Sovereign Spiritual Liquids we received from the Great Havenlaw Domain were
all given to the newcomers to nurture them.

Otherwise, the Nine Nether Palace wouldn’t have such a scene.

” The girl in light-red called Tang Rou helped her sister to explain.

Hearing her words, Nine Nether was stunned as she cast a glance at those thousands
of figures orderly kneeling down and said in doubt, “Our Nine Nether Palace should
be able to obtain 10,000 Sovereign Spiritual Liquids a year.

In addition to the territories that we have, we should also be able to obtain

nearly 10,000 from it as well, how is that insufficient?”Tang Rou was about to
speak, but was glared at by Tang Bing and shut her mouth.

“Xiao Bing’er, you speak.

” Seeing their small actions, Nine Nether seemed to have sensed something as her
voice turned cold.

Hearing her, Tang Bing bitterly smiled.

“Big Sister Nine Nether, when you left, the other lords said that our Nine Nether
Palace doesn’t deserve it, barely a King Power in the Great Havenlaw Domain.

Thus, they joined together in the Elders Association in an attempt to disband our
Nine Nether Palace.

”“But because of Lord Sky Vulture Emperor helping us to speak, we managed to

maintain the Nine Nether Palace.

But the amount of Sovereign Spiritual Liquids we could obtain was decreased to
5000.

”“As for our territories, many of the flourishing cities was secretly devoured by
the other lords.
We were weak, and could not compete against them, so we could only silently suffer.

”“Because of them, the amount of Sovereign Spiritual Liquids that our Nine Nether
Palace could use is barely over 5000 a year.

”Tang Rou softly added, “Yeah, big sister requires a large amount of Sovereign
Spiritual Liquids to break through to the Sovereign Realm.

So she did not dare to attempt as every Sovereign Spiritual Liquid was distributed
to everyone, thus delaying her cultivation.

”“This is too much!”Nine Nether glared as her face was covered in anger, her ample
chest was lightly heaving up and down.

Clearly, she had been thoroughly angered.

She never expected that when she left, those fellows would try to exploit the Nine
Nether Palace.

She naturally knew that those lords that Tang Bing and Tang Rou spoke of were a few
of the kings.

In the past, when she was still present, those fellows were unhappy with her
insufficient strength and yet, having the same rank as them.

But due to her background, no one dared to say a word.

But she never thought that the moment she left, those bastards couldn’t hold
themselves back anymore.

Nine Nether’s face was covered with frost as a Spiritual Energy pressure
uncontrollably swept out.

In an instant, there were a few that couldn’t stand the pressure and laid down on
the ground.

Tang Bing was also forced back several steps, but her face was filled with joy as
she looked at Nine Nether, “Big sister Nine Nether has succeeded your
Tribulation?”The Spiritual Energy pressure coming from Nine Nether wasn’t any
weaker than the other kings.

Looks during her disappearance, Big Sister has successfully gone through her
Tribulation.

Nine Nether lightly nodded her head as she waved her hand.

“The rest of you can return first.

No matter how many grievances you guys have suffered in the past, now that I’m
back, I will not allow anyone to bully our Nine Nether Palace!”Her words were
naturally directed at the rest on the field.

“Yes!”Hearing her words, everyone in the Nine Nether Palace was filled with
excitement as they replied in order as they left in an orderly manner as well.

Every single one of their eyes was filled with excitement.

Now that someone was backing the Nine Nether Palace, they could finally break free
from all those indignations.

When the field returned to calmness, the frost on Nine Nether’s face slowly faded
as she waved her hand, “Mu Chen, you can come out now.

”Tang Bing and Tang Rou were stunned as they saw a streak of light fly over and
appear beside Nine Nether.

Mu Chen appeared as he gave a friendly smile towards Tang Bing and Tang Rou.

Tang Rou was a little shy as she immediately shifted her gaze away when her gaze
came into contact with Mu Chen’s.

Tang Bing, however, was cautiously staring at him.

Due to Cao Feng’s matter in the past, she was now cautious towards any guys that
came near Nine Nether.

“This is Mu Chen, he was the reason why I succeeded my Tribulation this time.

”Nine Nether pointed at the two girls as she continued, “This is Tang Bing and Tang
Rou, the two of them are my sisters.

”Hearing that Mu Chen had done a great deal help to Nine Nether, Tang Rou endured
her shyness and gave Mu Chen a look of gratefulness.

As for Tang Bing, she took more glances at Mu Chen and nodded her head at him,
considering that she barely accepted him.

“Xiao Bing’er, how much Sovereign Spiritual Liquids do you need to attempt a
breakthrough to the Sovereign Realm?” Nine Nether suddenly said.

“At least 1000.

” Tang Bing briefly hesitated as she reported as little as possible.

Hearing her words, Mu Chen smiled as he grasped his hand.

A jade bottle appeared in his hand with a flicker and handed it over to Tang Bing,
“Big Sister Tang Bing, here’s 2000 Sovereign Spiritual Liquids, it should be
sufficient for you to break through.

”After taking Liu Ming’s Mustard Seed Bracelet, Mu Chen had obtained a considerable
amount of Sovereign Spiritual Liquids from it.

Thus, he was rather generous when he gave them away.

Tang Bing was stunned, but she did not take it as she shifted her gaze over to Nine
Nether.

She only lightly received it when she saw the latter nodding her head.

The ice on her face had also melted a little as she gently said to Mu Chen, “Thank
you.

”“In the future, Mu Chen will join our Nine Nether Palace.

Everyone can consider him to be a part of the family.

” Nine Nether pulled the hands of the two girls as she smiled, “I intended to let
Mu Chen become the Domain Lord of our Nine Nether Palace to fight for the Great Law
Goldpond, do any of you have any opinions?”Hearing her words, Tang Rou and Tang
Bing froze again as they exchanged a look and did not dare to speak.

“What’s wrong, Xiao Bing’er’s intending to object?” Nine Nether couldn’t help being
curious as she looked at their reactions.

“No, Big Sister can naturally make the decision to this.

”Tang Bing immediately shook her head.

She hesitated for a brief moment before bitterly smiling.

“Two years ago, the quota for our Nine Nether Palace for the Great Law Goldpond was
forcefully purchased by Blood Hawk King for 1000 Sovereign Spiritual Liquids.

We didn’t have any ability to resist.

Thus, it has been a long time since our Nine Nether Palace had the qualifications
to fight for the Great Law Goldpond.

”When she finished speaking, Nine Nether’s face had thoroughly turned cold as she
gritted her teeth.

Her eyes were spewing with flames.

Blood Hawk King, that bastard, he is taking this too far!

Chapter 668 - Four Great Domain Lords Standing before the palace, Nine Nether’s
face was frosted cold as anger spewed from her eyes.

Evidently, she had been thoroughly angered.

Standing next to her, Mu Chen had also furrowed his brows.

Looks like this Blood Hawk King isn’t anyone good.

The things that he did have made others hold him in contempt.

Nine Nether’s ample chest was gently heaving as she calmed herself down from her
rage shortly after.

Her voice gradually returned back normal, but the chill in her tone could not be
concealed, “From today onwards, we will take back the quota of our Nine Nether
Palace.

I will make a trip to the Nine Kings Conference and let them know that I, Nine
Nether, has returned.

I’ll see who dares to hinder our Nine Nether Palace.

”“I will let them all return the things belonging to my Nine Nether Palace!”Tang
Bing and Tang Rou nodded their heads, there was joy in their eyes.

Now that Nine Nether had successfully gone through her Tribulation, her strength
grew and she wasn’t any weaker than the eight other kings.

Their Nine Nether Palace finally had someone to depend on.

“Xiao Bing’er, right now in the Great Havenlaw Domain, how many Domain Lords are
qualified to compete for the quota of the Greatlaw Goldpond?” Nine Nether looked at
Tang Bing and asked.

If Mu Chen wished to enter the Greatlaw Goldpond, then he would have to defeat
those competitors.

Thus, she had to let Mu Chen know beforehand how powerfulhis opponents were.

Tang Bing cast a glance at Mu Chen, who was standing beside Nine Nether.

Her eyes were beautiful.

When her eyes were cold, there was a feeling of casting others a thousand miles
away from her.

But now, there were other emotions in her eyes.

Her pair of pretty eyes became more spirited, there was a faint allure in them that
made them even more charming.

But there was still some doubts in the gaze she used to look at Mu Chen.

She felt pressure coming from him, but compared to those famous Domain Lords in the
Great Havenlaw Domain, there still seemed to be some distance between them.

She honestly doubted whether Mu Chen possessed the qualifications to compete with
those genius Domain Lords.

But, in the end, her doubt was still doubted as she honestly replied, “Right now,
there are a total of eighteen Domain Lords, all who are under the other eight
Kings.

We did have one in the past, but right now…”The one that she was talking about
would naturally be Cao Feng, who had left the Nine Nether Palace.

Nine Nether lightly nodded her head, while having a calm expression on her face.

“Along the eighteen Domain Lords, there are four whose fame is the biggest.

”“The head of the Four Great Domain Lords is Xu Qing, under the Asura King.

Right now, he is already the Second Grade Sovereign.

I believe that Big Sister Nine Nether might have some impression of him.

” Tang Bing said as she smiled.

“Xu Qing?” Hearing that name, Nine Nether was stunned for a brief moment, before
continuing to speak with astonishment, “I never thought that the unremarkable brat
back then would become so powerful now.

” “Hehe, Big Sister Nine Nether, rumour has it that Xu Qing has always been in love
with you.

All these years, many outstanding girls showed their affection for him.

But not once was his heart shaken.

” Tang Rou covered her mouth as she laughed.

Nine Nether gently flicked Tang Rou’s forehead.

“Rubbish, I don’t talk to him much… Xiao Bing’er, you carry on.

”“The second of the Four Great Domain Lords would be Zhou Yue, under the Mountain
Splitting King.

” Tang Bing’s voice paused for a brief moment as she continued, “The third would be
Wu Tian, under the Blood Hawk King.

He was brought back by Blood Hawk King a few years ago.

In just a few years time, this Wu Tian had become one of the Four Great Domain
Lords, his rapid promotion shocked others.

”Nine Nether nodded her head, “What about the fourth?”Tang Bing’s rosy lips finally
moved, but she still spoke in a soft voice in the end, “The fourth is also under
the Blood Hawk King…”Nine Nether narrowed her eyes as she faintly said, “Cao
Feng?”Tang Bing lightly nodded her head.

“Looks like he has found the right backing, to climb to such a height in just a few
years time.

” Nine Nether said calmly.

That youth did possess the talent.

Otherwise, she wouldn’t have pushed him as the Domain Lord of the Nine Nether
Palace.

“Three of the Four Great Domain Lords all have the strength of Second Grade
Sovereign.

As for Cao Feng, he is already at the peak of the First Grade Sovereign, and could
ascend to Second Grade at anytime.

Thus, almost no one was an opponent for him amongst the First Grade Sovereigns.

”Tang Bing cast a glance at Mu Chen as she continued, “There are only four quotas
for the Greatlaw Goldpond, so if he wants to obtain one of them, he would have to
defeat one of the Four Great Domain Lords.

”Mu Chen lightly nodded his head.

The meaning behind Tang Bing’s words were clear enough.

Amongst the Four Great Domain Lords, Cao Feng was the weakest.

Thus, if he wished to obtain the qualification for the Greatlaw Goldpond, he would
have to defeat this Cao Feng.

And Tang Bing clearly did not feel that Mu Chen could achieve it.

Although she hated that fellow, Cao Feng did have the capability, since he could
climb his way to the Four Great Domain Lords.

“What? Are you not confident? If you don’t have the confidence, then we will give
up this time.

” Nine Nether turned her head as she gave Mu Chen a faint smile.

There was apparently a small smear of expectation in the depths of Nine Nether’s
eyes as he looked at her.

At this time, if he said that he wasn’t confident, she would probably be

disappointed.

“Although I have no concept of how powerful these Four Great Domain Lords are… I
have never feared an Earth Sovereign, not to mention some Second Grade Sovereigns.

” Mu Chen laughed with a smear of a smile on his face.

“Rest assured, our Nine Nether Palace will definitely have a spot in the Greatlaw
Goldpond.

”Nine Nether lightly lifted her brows and did not speak.

However, she couldn’t hide the smile surfacing on her face.

Tang Rou was also a little surprised when she saw how confident Mu Chen was.

Tang Bing, however, was judging him as she looked at Mu Chen.

His courage is indeed worth praising, but… the qualification of the Greatlaw
Goldpond isn’t something that could be obtained solely with courage.

Nine Nether did not speak anything as she turned around and entered the palace.

Upon entering the palace, she stopped her steps and said with a soft tone, “Since
you have already said so, then no matter how hard it would be to get the
qualifications of participation, I will surely get it for you!”When she finished
speaking, she strode into the palace.

Tang Rou cast a surprised glance at Mu Chen as she followed up.

Mu Chen leaned on the pillar as he looked at Nine Nether’s leaving silhouette and
lightly smiled.

There were emotions in his eyes.

Ever since they left the Northern Heavens Continent, Nine Nether had been planning
things out for him, since she knew his own target.

Thus, she was doing all she could to pave the way for him.

It was a path towards being the supreme expert.

“Looks like Big Sister Nine Nether treats you pretty well.

” Tang Bing stood close by as her gaze returned to being cold, staring at Mu Chen.

She was tugging her chest.

Even if her training outfit was somewhat loose, her actions still outlined her
ample bosom.
“What is your relationship with Big Sister Nine Nether?” Tang Bing looked at Mu
Chen.

For all these years, she had been the one managing the Nine Nether Palace.

Thus, she somewhat had a dignified manner.

There was also a little forcefulness in her gaze.

However, her gaze clearly wasn’t too effective on Mu Chen.

He gave Tang Bing a smile.

“Even if I risk being gravely injured, I will not let anything happen to her.

”“Right…” Mu Chen did not continue on further and changed topic, “Big Sister Tang
Bing, is it a little troublesome for Nine Nether to get that quota of the Domain
Lord back?”“There are only nine Kings in the Great Havenlaw.

Every single King has a quota of the Domain Lord.

Blood Hawk King seized our quota, taking the benefits for all these years.

You think he will hand it back so easily?” Tang Bing spoke with her brows furrowed.

“Although Big Sister Nine Nether has the support of the Sky Vulture Emperor, the
Sky Vulture Emperor doesn’t have the final say in the Great Havenlaw.

Otherwise, our Nine Nether Palace wouldn’t be so miserable in the recent

years…”“So, I’m afraid that the Nine Kings conference might not be too calm.

” Tang Bing paused her voice as she looked at Mu Chen.

“Big Sister Nine Nether treats you very well, I hope that you will not become a
second Cao Feng.

Otherwise, even if Big Sister Nine Nether doesn’t stop you, I will definitely not
let you off!”Mu Chen rubbed his nose and smiled, “Big Sister Tang Bing is rather
beautiful when you threaten someone.

”Tang Bing couldn’t help widening her eyes a little at this time as she looked at
the smiling youth with a bit of indignance.

This fellow… when she was earnestly talking to him, he was actually teasing her?In
the past, everyone in the Nine Nether Palace feared her because of her seriousness
and strictness.

No one dared to speak this way to her, so when Mu Chen teased her, she was actually
stunned for a brief moment.

“Rest assured, Big Sister Tang Bing.

This Cao Feng…”Mu Chen lightly spat a mouthful of air out.

Just when Tang Bing was lightly frowning her brows, there was a chill in his faint
smile.

“I will definitely not let him off.

”Although, on the surface, Nine Nether didn’t look to be too affected by Cao Feng’s
betrayal, Mu Chen could see the sadness in the depths of her eyes.

She must not have felt good about Cao Feng’s betrayal.

Tang Bing was stunned as she looked at Mu Chen and hesitated for a brief moment.

“It’s good if you have the heart.

Cao Feng isn’t a simple figure, it’s best that you be cautious.

”“Yeah.

”Mu Chen nodded his head as he looked around, “Big Sister Tang Bing, why don’t you
show me around.

In the future, I will also be someone of the Nine Nether Palace, I have to get used
to the area.

”Tang Bing cast an unhappy look at him, but she did not reject.

She turned around and left, with Mu Chen following her, smiling.

Next dayWhen it was still morning, many people were waiting before the Nine Nether
Palace.

The shut doors of the palace slowly opened up as a slender figure strode out.

That figure was donned in black armour that tightly outlined her exquisite figure,
displaying her wonderful curves.

On the armour were runes of a soaring blackbird.

That figure was naturally Nine Nether, but today, she was more valiant and
formidable-looking compared to the past.

Her long hair fluttered with a trace of prestige between her brows.

“We welcome the King!”Standing before the Nine Nether Palace, were the thousands of
people with one knee on the ground.

Orderly voices, along with excitement, rang from them.

Nine Nether looked around as she lightly nodded her head.

Behind her stoodMu Chen, Tang Bing and Tang Rou.

“Let’s go, I have not seen those fellows for years.

We will go tell them to return those that they have seized from our Nine Nether
Palace, obediently!”A chill surged in Nine Nether’s gaze as she waved her hand.

Her figure turned into a streak of light as Mu Chen, Tang Bing and Tang Rou
followed behind, boiling with baleful auras.

Chapter 669 - The Kings Greatlaw Sky, Central RegionIt was a small-scaled continent
within the central region of the Great Havenlaw with a towering majestic mountain
peak.
The peak was like a sword as it pierced the clouds, the scene was immensely grand.

This peak was named the Greatlaw Peak, the most critical location in the entire
Greatlaw Sky.

Not only was it managed by the three Emperors, rumour had it that the mysterious
Ruler also resided on this peak.

This was the backbone of the entire Greatlaw Sky or even the whole Great Havenlaw
Domain.

Today in this Greatlaw Peak, it was exceptionally bustling, since there were
whistles of gales that continually resounded, along with rays of light swiftly
crossing from a distance away and landing on this majestic peak.

Today was the Nine Kings Conference that was held every 6 months.

Speaking of which, it was also the more important conference in the Great Havenlaw
Domain, so there wouldn’t usually be any missing seats.

On the Greatlaw Peak stood a towering palace that was emitting an ancient aura, as
if it was left behind from the ancient times.

It caused revere to rise in the heart of others.

Before the palace was a myriad stone staircase.

Every single ray of light landed beneath those stairs, they did not directly fly up
to the highest point; instead, they chose to ascend the stairs respectfully.

At this moment, there was already many figures before the myriad stone staircase.

However, the majority of those had their own batch standing together,
differentiating their standings.

As long as it was a place with people, there would definitely be competition.

These rules hadn’t been changed, and factions were competing amongst themselves in
the Greatlaw Sky.

Thus, the grudges between the factions were also extremely complicated.

Whoosh!As this vast platform became filled with people, there were several streaks
of light arriving from the distant horizon and landed here.

Everyone shifted their gazes over, and when they saw who it was that came, there
was a dense shock in their eyes that spewed out, which was shortly followed by
resounding whispers.

“That’s the… Nine Nether King? She has returned?”“I received the news yesterday,
looks like it wasn’t fake.

Nine Nether King has disappeared for so many years, rumour has it that she was
undergoing her Tribulation.

From the looks of it now, she should have succeeded in it.

”“How formidable, to have successfully undergone her Tribulation at her age,

shredding spirituality and forming divinity.

”“Looks like there will be a show to watch in the Nine Kings Conference.

For all these years, the Nine Nether Palace has been suppressed, headed by the
Blood Hawk King.

With Nine Nether King’s personality, she would definitely not let it go so easily.

”“In the past, when Nine Nether King had yet to go through her Tribulation, she had
the Sky Vulture Emperor supporting her, but she wasn't a threat.

But, now that she has undergone her Tribulation, I’m afraid that the matter won’t
be so easily left to rest.

” “…”On the vast platform, whispers of all sorts rang out.

As to those whispers, Nine Nether paid no attention to them as she raised her head,
looking at the ancient palace up on the myriad stone staircase.

She slightly narrowed her slender eyes.

Mu Chen, Tang Bing and Tang Rou stood behind Nine Nether and did not glance
sideways.

Not long after Nine Nether had shown herself, there were whistlings of wind that
resounded once again from the horizon.

Several figures flew over and had landed on the platform.

Along with those figures appearing, there was a powerful Spiritual Energy pressure
that enveloped the surroundings.

Those figures were naturally those influential figures.

Mu Chen swept his gaze over and realised that three batches had arrived.

The one leading the left batch was a middle-aged man with no expression on his
face.

He was donned in a black robe, his eyes were dark red in colour, giving others a
chill down their spine.

Standing behind that middle-aged man was a slightly younger man.

His figure was towering, donned in the azure garment and his brows were as piercing
as a sword.

He had a rather handsome appearance, along with extraordinary Spiritual Energy

ripples fluctuating around him.

His bearing was rather calm, except that when he saw a slender silhouette, ripples
couldn’t help swinging in his eyes.

“That’s the Asura King, the strongest among the Nine Kings.

With time, he might even ascend to the level of the three Emperors.

” When Mu Chen saw the two figures, Tang Bing explained from the side in a soft
voice.

Mu Chen lightly nodded his head with a grave look in his eyes.

The feeling that the Asura King gave him was even more powerful and unfathomable
than the black-robed old man with Liu Ming.

“As for the person standing behind the Asura King, he is Xu Qing, the head of the
Four Great Domain Lords.

His strength is rather impressive as well.

”Mu Chen’s gaze moved, shifted onto the man donned in the azure garments.

The latter’s gaze was focused onto Nine Nether; looking at it, it seemed that what
Tang Rou said before might be the truth.

This Xu Qing did have some thoughts on Nine Nether.

However, there wasn’t any response from Nine Nether regarding his pleasantly
surprised gaze.

Except that when she saw the Asure King when she directed her gaze over, she gave
him a slight nod.

Although this Asura King was tough to approach in the Great Havenlaw Domain, in
Nine Nether’s view, this Asura King was clearly more scheming than the Blood Hawk
King.

When Asura King saw Nine Nether, there was a faint ripple on his face that didn’t
have any expression.

In the end, he gave her a nod in reply.

In the past, Nine Nether was just a brat in his eyes.

But her return this time made him feel a little pressure.

Looks like she has risen her strength after all these years.

The man standing behind Asura King bitterly smiled when he saw that Nine Nether had
not cast him a glance.

But the splendour in his eyes grew even more brilliant, as if he had suddenly found
his motivation.

Mu Chen shifted his gaze and looked at the second batch.

The one leading was a middle-aged man with a robust build.

His hands were rather large in size, with veins protruding from them like worms, as
if that pair of hands could split the mountains.

“That’s the Mountain Splitting King… he’s also a formidable figure amongst the Nine
Kings.

” Tang Bing briefly said.

Mu Chen lightly nodded his head as his gaze suddenly changed, he saw another robust
man that had occasionally drifted his gaze over.

The target of his gaze clearly wasn’t Mu Chen, but the Tang Bing who, with a cold
expression, was standing beside him.

“Hehe, that’s the number two of the Four Great Domain Lords, Zhou Yue.

He seems to be rather fond of big sister.

In the past, he had sneaked into our Nine Nether Palace to peek at big sister.

Later on, when it was discovered by a big sister, he was simply chased out with a
sword.

” Tang Rou secretly laughed as she spoke.

“Looks like your big sister’s charm isn’t small.

” Mu Chen was somewhat intrigued.

This Zhou Yue clearly had some feelings for Tang Bing, but looking at Tang Bing,
she didn’t seem to care about him that much.

Tang Bing frowned her brows as she cast a glance at Mu Chen.

The latter was smiling at her, which led her to turn her head with indignance.

She realised that Mu Chen’s skin was rather thick, even when she glared at him, he
didn’t feel that he did something wrong.

“Haha, isn’t it Nine Nether? I never thought that you would really return, it’s a
joyous occasion indeed.

”Just as Mu Chen was looking at the Asura King, laughter that made others feel cold
suddenly rang out as Mu Chen saw another batch approach.

Many people have also directed their gazes over.

The one leading was a middle-aged man with scarlet hair, his gaze was sharp and
eerie.

As if he was a hawk eyeing his prey and was prepared to unleash a fatal attack at
any moment.

Right now, he was smiling as he looked at Nine Nether.

As his scarlet hair fluttered along the wind, there was a bloody stench coming from
it.

There wasn’t a need for Tang Bing to introduce him this time, since Mu Chen had
already known that the one that came was naturally the Blood Hawk King that didn’t
have a good relation with Nine Nether.

Tang Bing and Tang Rou next to him were staring at the man dressed in white that
was standing behind the Blood Hawk King with anger.

That man didn’t look handsome, and his face was somewhat stiff when his gaze
flickered and did not dare to look at Nine Nether.
Looking at this scene, Mu Chen had already figured out that he must be Cao Feng,
who had left the Nine Nether Palace…Another man was standing beside Cao Feng, he
was smiling with eyes spewing flames while looking at the sisters with dense desire
in the depth of his eyes.

Shortly after, he licked his lips.

Judging from the looks of it, it's as if he wished to devour the two sisters into
his stomach.

This person should be the third among the Four Great Domains Lords, Wu Tian…Nine
Nether did not pay any attention to the Blood Hawk King, her gaze bypassed him and
glanced at Cao Feng, who stood behind the Blood Hawk King with an indifferent
expression.

“Haha, Cao Feng, aren’t you neglecting to greet your old master?” Blood Hawk King
crossed his ten fingers as he casually smiled.

Only then, did Cao Feng raise his head and let out a stiff smile.

“Cao Feng greets Lord Nine Nether.

”Nine Nether looked at him as her gaze gradually calmed down.

There wasn’t much disappointment in her eyes, although she felt a little hurt when
she heard the news yesterday.

When she met him again, the feeling felt like he was a stranger.

She only somewhat felt pity that the youth that she had rescued from the
battlefield back then had gradually turned bad.

It seems like not everyone could maintain their warmth and smile on the path of
becoming a supreme expert like the youth beside her, who was full of stubbornness
deep down to his bones and maintained his heart.

Cao Feng looked at Nine Nether’s gradually calming gaze and sensed the gaze of a
stranger that she was directing at him.

His hands in his sleeves were clenched tightly together as he lightly hung his
head, his face was a little distorted with darkness.

He didn’t like Nine Nether being so calm towards his betrayal.

Nine Nether retracted her gaze as she looked at the Blood Hawk King.

A chill gradually converged in her eyes as she turned around, walking towards the
palace as her cold voice instantly decreased the surrounding temperature.

“Blood Hawk, be prepared to spit out whatever you have taken from my Nine Nether
Palace.

”
Chapter 670 - Nine Kings Conference On the platform, along with the departure of
Nine Nether, the atmosphere was still somewhat frozen.

Many people had their gazes flickering.

Looks like the Nine Kings Conference this time won’t be too peaceful.
“Haha, I never thought that your temper would have grown after leaving for all
these years.

” Blood Hawk King narrowed his eyes as he looked at Nine Nether’s leaving
silhouette.

There was a smear of balefulness that flashed across his eyes as he smiled.

“But I’ll take a look at who is able to take back the things that I have taken!”
Blood Hawk King issued an eerie smile.

He did not place Nine Nether’s threats in his heart.

Although he knew that the Sky Vulture Emperor was standing behind Nine Nether, he
had nothing to fear.

After all, the Sky Vulture Emperor was just one of the three Emperors, he didn’t
have the final say.

“Let’s go!”Blood Hawk King waved his hand as he swiftly strode up the stairs as
well.

The Asura King and Mountain Splitting King only watched from the side and did not
get involved in the grudges of the two parties.

Nine Nether had always been the weakest amongst the Nine Kings.

Thus, she didn’t have an ally.

Whereas the Blood Hawk King’s name was rather well-known.

Therefore, he had the advantage the whole time, except that they didn’t know how
the situation would turn out this time round.

Behind the Asura King, Xu Qing cast a glance at the silhouette of the Blood Hawk
King and couldn’t help frowning his brows.

“If you don’t have the ability, don’t force yourself to stand out for a woman.

Right now, you still can't do that.

” Asura King sensed Xu Qing’s gaze and faintly spoke out.

Hearing his words, Xu Qing couldn’t help smiling awkwardly.

“With Nine Nether’s current strength, it isn’t your turn to worry about her.

I’m afraid that her current strength is close to the Fifth Grade Sovereign Realm.

In addition to her physique as a Divine Beast, not even Blood Hawk King, who is of
the Fifth Grade Sovereign, could do anything to her.

”Asura King strode forth as his indifferent voice entered Xu Qing’s ears.

“Furthermore, you have to understand that Nine Nether isn’t an ordinary woman.

She has a prideful character.

You still lack the ability to move her heart.

At the very least, you should get rid of your current identity as a Domain Lord.

”Xu Qing nodded his head as he followed behind the Asura King, moving towards the
palace.

The rest of the Kings had also made their way up the stone staircase.

Walking up the stone staircase, the ancient palace was already open.

Nine Nether led Mu Chen, Tang Bing and Tang Rou to enter the palace directly.

The interior of the palace was oval shaped.

Walking further in, the oval-shaped stone platform was more significant in size.

The stone platform seemed to be extending along the corner of the palace.

The centre was empty, and at the peak of the stone platform was a tall throne that
could overlook every single one.

Except that there wasn’t anyone seated on it at the moment.

But even so, it was as if a shapeless pressure was being emitted from the throne,
enveloping the entire palace.

Clearly, that thone belonged to the true leader of the Great Skylaw Domain, that
mysterious Domain Ruler.

Before that throne, there were three golden lotus stages, with three-figures that
were emitting with lustre quietly seated there with their surrounding spaces
showing signs of distortion.

Amongst the three figures, the middle one was a skinny old man.

His eyes looked like lights that had gathered together and could pierce through the
hearts of others.

That piercing gaze could make others feel fear.

On the left was an old man with white hair, but his skin was as smooth as a baby.

There weren’t any wrinkles on his face, even his hair was emitting with lustre.

He didn’t look like an old man at all.

Both of his eyes were full black in colour, there wasn’t any white in them and the
darkness made others feel a chill.

On the right was a sleepy man, his age could not be determined.

But his lazy attitude made him seem as if he could fall asleep at any time.

Nine Nether, who had walked into the palace first, looked at the skinny old man.

There was finally a smear of a smile on her cold face.

“Aiya, small Nine Nether is finally back, not bad.

” The skinny old man’s sharp gaze stopped on Nine Nether as he let out a gratified
smile.

The old man with skin as smooth as a baby’s narrowed his eyes as he cast a glance
at Nine Nether with a smear of shock in his eyes.

As for the sleepy old man, he only opened his eyes and cast a glance before lazily
crooking his head.

“The one in the middle is the Sky Vulture Emperor, he and the Nine Nether Bird Clan
have some connections and can be considered as Big Sister Nine Nether’s Senior.

So he has been taking care of her.

” Tang Bing spoke towards Mu Chen in a low voice.

“On the left of the Sky Vulture King is the Spiritual Pupils Emperor, he is the
backing of Blood Hawk King.

The reason why Blood Hawk King was so arrogant was that he had the support of the
Spiritual Pupils Emperor.

”Mu Chen’s heart was moved as he looked at that white-haired old man with black
pupils.

The latter seemed to have noticed as well and cast his glance over.

There seemed to be a light flowing in his black pupils.

The abyss looked as if it could suck people in and could not pull themselves back
out.

There was a cold hand that suddenly lightly pulled at Mu Chen’s hand.

The cold sensation instantly woke Mu Chen up, right on the spot, he felt a chill in
his heart as his eyes became filled with fear.

There seems to be something weird about this Spiritual Pupils Emperor.

“Don’t look into his eyes.

The Divine Art that he has cultivated is in his eyes.

” Seeing as Mu Chen woke up, Nine Nether loosened her hand and reminded him.

Mu Chen lightly nodded his head.

“As for the third one… his name is Sleep Emperor… all these years, we have never
seen him awake.

A majority of the matters in the Great Havenlaw Domain is managed by the Sky
Vulture King and the Spiritual Pupils King.

” Tang Bing’s face was a little weird as she glanced at the sleepy figure.

Mu Chen’s face was also surprised, his expression was also a little weird.

There was someone so weird in the world?“Don’t ever belittle him.

Rumour has it that he was the first to follow the Domain Ruler to establish the
Great Havenlaw Domain.

His strength is deep and unfathomable.

Even Elder Vulture fears him.

” Nine Nether lightly spoke out.

Mu Chen lightly nodded his head.

The three Emperors before him probably weren’t any weaker than the Demonic Human
Elder of the Sky Profound Palace.

Their strength was at least the Seventh Grade Sovereign.

“What about the Domain Ruler?” Mu Chen spoke out with a little doubt.

“The Domain Lord hasn’t appeared in a long time.

” Tang Rou spoke softly, “The Domain Ruler is the most mysterious person in our
Great Havenlaw Domain.

Rumour has it that he is in seclusive training, but no one knows where he secluded
himself.

”Mu Chen helplessly smiled.

This Great Havenlaw Domain is indeed a little weird.

Nine Nether waved her hand as she brought along the three and sat down on a stone
chair.

After sitting down, the eight remaining Kings entered in succession and sat down as
well.

“Haha, it has been a long time since the seats here have filled up.

” Looking at the filled up seats below, Sky Vulture Emperor lightly smiled.

“Since everyone is here, let us begin the Nine Kings Conference.

”The Great Havenlaw Domain was very vast in size.

It was also the border with many powerful forces.

There would constantly be competitions, and usually, those that had to be discussed
would be resolved in the Nine Kings Conference.

Nine Nether had left the Great Havenlaw Domain for a long time.

Thus, she did not interrupt in this topic.

She was lightly tapping on the stone stage with her slender fingers as frost
faintly gathered on her face with her eyes shut.

Mu Chen, Tang Bing and Tang Rou were quietly standing by her side as they remained
silent.
The discussion that lasted for an hour showed signs of ending.

The Sky Vulture Emperor shifted the topic after looking at the situation.

“Since many of the matters have come to a conclusion, let us speak about the
Greatlaw Goldpond competition that will take place in two months.

”As he spoke, the atmosphere in the palace froze in an instant as many kings
narrowed their eyes.

Clearly, this was the main event; after all, the Greatlaw Goldpond was very
attractive.

Nine Nether opened her eyes at this moment as she cast a glance at Blood Hawk King
with a chill in her voice, “We, the Nine Nether Palace will participate in this
Greatlaw Goldpond competition.

”Everyone’s hearts jolted, since they knew that this Nine Nether King was about to
make things difficult the moment she returned.

Hearing her words, the Blood Hawk King lightly smiled.

“Haha, Nine Nether, perhaps you have not been back for a long time, so you are
unaware of some matters.

The quota of your Nine Nether Palace has already been sold to my Blood Hawk Hall.

”Anger instantly rose on Tang Bing and Tang Rou’s faces.

This fellow is truly shameless.

“Sold to you? Have I agreed to it? Blood Hawk King, leader of the Blood Hawk Hall,
should know that this sort of matter can only be decided by the leader, right?”
Nine Nether coldly smiled.

“Since I have not agreed to it, that matter doesn’t count.

Otherwise, I can take out 2000 Sovereign Spiritual Liquids to have you sell the
quota of your Blood Hawk King to my Nine Nether Palace, right?”The corner of Blood
Hawk King’s eye twitched as his eyes grew darker and let out an eerie smile.

“I never imagined that you’d become smarter after leaving for a few years.

”His hand slowly gripped on the stone chair’s armrest as a majestic Spiritual
Energy pressure exploded as he stared at Nine Nether with a sharp gaze.

Looking at the situation, a smear of a cold sneer rose on her rosy lips as she
suddenly slapped the stone table.

A crack instantly flew beneath her palm, it was as sharp as a sword as it travelled
to Blood Hawk King.

“Outrageous!”Seeing as Nine Nether dared to initiate an attack, Blood Hawk King’s

eyes grew cold as he slapped as well.

A blood light crack had also exploded beneath his palm and clashed against the
oncoming crack.
Boom!The massive stone table violently trembled.

But before the impact force spread out, there was a gentle energy that dissipated
the two powers.

“The conference hall forbids any form of martial attacks.

” Sky Vulture King waved his sleeve and faintly said.

Blood Hawk King coldly snorted as he eerily stared at Nine Nether and ridiculed,
“So what if you get the quota, there is no Domain Lord in your Nine Nether Palace
anymore, so you guys don’t have the qualification to partake in the competition of
the Greatlaw Goldpond.

”Domain Lords required the strength of a Sovereign Realm, and aside from Nine
Nether, that lass Tang Bing still had yet to step into the Sovereign Realm.

“Who says there’s no Domain Lord in my Nine Nether Palace?”Nine Nether lifted her
eyes as a smear of ridicule rose on her lips.

Shortly after, she pointed at Mu Chen, who was next to her, as her cold voice rang
out in the entire hall.

“From today onwards, he is the new Domain Lord of my Nine Nether Palace!”
Chapter 671 - Qualifications “From today onwards, he is the new Domain Lord of my
Nine Nether Palace!”When Nine Nether’s slight cold voice rang out, the entire hall
turned into silence.

After that, every single gaze rose and gathered on the youth who was rather calm
standing behind Nine Nether.

“Who is he? He looks rather young…”“Judging from his Spiritual Energy ripples, he
seems to have just stepped into the Sovereign Realm, right? He can also become a
Domain Lord with that?”“Is she trying to fill up the slot with someone
random?”“…”Some doubtful whispers spread out, their gazes looking at Mu Chen were
filled with doubts.

Although it wasn’t easy for a youth like him to possess this sort of strength, the
position of Great Havenlaw Domain’s Domain Lord didn't merely depend on talent
alone, it depended on the power you possessed.

But clearly, the pressure emitted from Mu Chen was too hard to convince others.

Asura King gave Mu Chen a glance without any emotion.

He did not speak, but the man named Xu Qing, who was behind him, gave Mu Chen
another glimpse.

Blood Hawk King was looking at Mu Chen with his eyes narrowed, his gaze was like a
venomous snake that brought a chill down the spine of others.

He gave Mu Chen a glance and lifted the corner of his lips, “Who is he? He doesn’t
seem to be someone of our Great Havenlaw Domain, right?”“He will be from today
onwards.

As the head of the Nine Nether Palace, I naturally have the rights to determine the
Domain Lord of my Nine Nether Palace.

I believe that not even you can care about this, right?” Nine Nether said with
indifference.

Blood Hawk King hung his eyes down, “Although you have already said so, the Nine
Nether Palace is still under the Great Havenlaw Domain.

The Domain Lords of my Great Havenlaw Domain have all obtained their position
through their achievements.

If you casually pointed someone to have this position easily, what are you treating
the other Domain Lords as?”“If the Domain Lord that you have appointed does not
have the strength to back it up, we might be mocked by others thinking that we have
no one capable in our Great Havenlaw Domain.

So you alone can’t determine the appointment of a Domain Lord.

”Standing behind the Blood Hawk King, Wu Tian and Cao Feng were staring at Mu Chen.

The former didn’t think much, but the latter’s gaze was a little dark.

When he recalled the time Nine Nether brought him back, in the past, she had also
given him the position of Domain Lord.

Except that when Nine Nether left the Nine Nether Palace for so many years, he had
given up the Nine Nether Palace in the end.

A Nine Nether Palace without Nine Nether was far inferior compared to the Blood
Hawk King, except he never thought that Nine Nether would return.

And this time, she had brought back a youth along with her…“Are you using him to
replace me?” An eerie light flashed across Cao Feng’s eyes as he glared at Mu Chen
with a dark gaze.

His gaze was similar to overlooking as Mu Chen’sstrength was far inferior compared
to himself.

Looks like Nine Nether’s eyesight was getting worse.

In the hall, there were some of the seven remaining Kings nodding their head as
well, showing to be in agreement with Blood Hawk King’s opinion.

Many of them had relations with the Blood Hawk King, back then, it was also them
that had allied together and attempted to disband the Nine Nether Palace.

Watching the situation, Nine Nether’s gaze grew colder, but it wasn’t unexpected
for her.

Evidently, she had expected that today’s matter won’t be easy to handle.

Seated on the three lotus stage, Sky Vulture Emperor and Spiritual Pupils Emperor
remained silence as they allowed everyone to argue.

As for the Sleeping Emperor, he had maintained sleepy eyes as he seemed to have
fallen asleep, as though no matter on earth could wake him up.

Tang Bing and Tang Rou had also gritted their teeth, hating those that obstructed
Nine Nether to death in their hearts.

Mu Chen lightly smiled as he strode half a step forth, his looked at Blood Hawk
King, whose eyes seem as if it could pierce through the body of others with a
smile, “Then I wonder how can I get the qualification to be a Domain Lord, Blood
Hawk King?”Blood Hawk King cast a glance at Mu Chen as he leaned against the stone
chair, his eyes were hung down as though there wasn’t even an interest for him to
talk.

He didn’t feel that Mu Chen has the qualification to speak with him.

It was indeed so, he was one of the Nine Kings of the Great Havenlaw Domain, the
existence of the Fifth Grade Sovereign with experts as many as clouds under him.

A single point of his could determine the life and death of others, if it weren’t
for Nine Nether standing behind Mu Chen, he would have long killed him, how would
he even bother himself with Mu Chen.

Blood Hawk King’s actions made the chill in Nine Nether’s eyes to grow, but Mu Chen
still maintained a calm smile.

“It’s simple to prove your qualification…”One of the Four Great Domain Lords
standing behind Blood Hawk King, Wu Tian suddenly laughed, revealing his white
teeth, “As long as you can defeat a Domain Lord.

”The killing intent in his eyes wasn’t concealed, he didn’t find Mu Chen to his
eyes as he doesn’t like anyone being close to the sisters.

Hearing his words, Mu Chen smiled as his black pupils were shifted to Wu Tian and
laughed, “That’s a pretty good idea.

”As he finished speaking, his figure moved and appeared on the vast hall and looked
around, “I wonder if any Domain Lord here is interested in spar?”He wasn’t overly
humble as he had already seen through that it wasn’t useful in being humble here.

Over here, only those with true strength can have the right of speech.

Otherwise, no one would care about him.

”“Pretty good courage.

” The head of the Four Great Domain Lords standing behind Mountain Splitting King,
Zhou Yue frowned his brows.

However, he didn’t have any intentions of interfering.

Anyone can tell that this was the battle between the Nine Nether King and Blood
Hawk King, as someone of the Mountain Splitting King’s faction, he naturally
wouldn’t interfere.

Further, he didn’t find the Blood Hawk King’s faction to his eyes as well.

The remaining kings were somewhat interested as they watched this scene.

Even those who had good relations with the Blood Hawk King did not stand out.

Although they didn’t care much about Mu Chen, they had feared for Nine Nether, who
had succeeded her tribulations and her strength grew.

“Haha.

”Wu Tian laughed, revealing his white teeth that were similar to that of a beast.
He was looking at Mu Chen with ridicule, he doesn’t seem to understand why would
this youth before him be so courageous.

Although it showed his talent to be able to reach the Sovereign Realm at his age,
there were, after all, too many geniuses in the world.

And the majority of those would die from being too prideful.

Wu Tian naturally sensed that Mu Chen had only reached the Sovereign Realm recently
as the spiritual energies fluctuation on him wasn’t as thick as those that had
entered the Sovereign Realm for a long time.

“Zhao Zhong, you go and see if he has the qualification to become a Domain Lord.

” Wu Tian lightly turned his head and spoke to a man behind him.

He naturally wishes to kill this youth before him, but he was one of the Four Great
Domain Lords with fame widely spread in Great Havenlaw Domain.

If he were to act against such an impudent youth, it would be lowering his status.

Cao Feng had also crossed his arms by the side and glanced coldly at Mu Chen.

He did not act as well as he had the same thoughts as Wu Tian.

Standing behind the two, the man name Zhao Yue had a slightly pale complexion as he
smiled eerily.

He was also a Domain Lord under the Blood Hawk King, though his fame wasn’t
comparable to Wu Tian and Cao Feng, he had been in the First Grade Sovereign Realm
for a long time with experience over hundreds of battle backing him.

His actions emitted terrifying killing intent.

Clearly, he had experienced all sorts of life and death battles.

Blood Hawk King had remained silent all along, as though he had handed everything
over to Wu Tian.

Except the gaze that was leaked from the corner of his eyes were similar to
watching a monkey show.

Zhao Yue’s figure moved and appeared in the centre of the hall.

He looked at Mu Chen and revealed a savage and cruel smile on the corner of his
lips.

He had seen many talented youths like Mu Chen, there was a considerable amount that
had died in his hands as well.

“Brat, I never go lenient against anyone.

Perhaps you will suffer a little if you get lost now, or you can join our Blood
Hawk Hall.

At the very least, it’s better compared to a woman palace.

” Zhao Yue revealed an eerie smile towards Mu Chen.

“That despicable bastard!”Seeing that fellow humiliating their Nine Nether Palace,
Tang Rou’s face turned red while Tang Bing’s face grew colder.

Nine Nether, however, did not have any movements as she looked at Mu Chen’s
silhouette.

Mu Chen maintained calm on his face, hearing the other party’s mockery, he laughed
instead.

“Bring out your Sovereign Celestial Body.

” Zhao Yue licked his lips as he spoke.

“I have yet to refine mine.

” Mu Chen faintly smiled.

In the hall, everyone was stunned for a brief moment before looking at Mu Chen with
weird gaze.

Wasn’t that fellow too arrogant? He had not even refined his Sovereign Celestial
Body, and he dared to act so impudently here?Even Tang Bing and Tang Rou’s face
slightly changed as they didn’t know that Mu Chen had yet to refine his Sovereign
Celestial Body.

“How regretful.

”Zhao Yue sighed as the smile on the corner of his lips grew even more savage.

He strode a step forth, sweeping out terrifying spiritual energies.

A large spiritual light figure appeared behind him.

“Since that’s the case, then die.

”“Absolute Ice Celestial Body!”A massive ice blue Sovereign Celestial Body appeared
with a flash as chilling aura swept out, causing even space to freeze.

When Zhao Yue heard that Mu Chen had yet to refine his Sovereign Celestial Body, he
didn’t have any intentions of going lenient.

On the contrary, he became even more ruthless by summoning his Sovereign Celestial
Body right from the start, he was apparently trying to give Mu Chen a harsh impact
with the fastest speed.

The Sovereign Celestial Body that he had refined wasn’t rare, it wasn’t even among
the 99 Rankings of Sovereign Celestial Bodies.

But it was more than enough to deal with a brat that has yet to even refine his
Sovereign Celestial Body.

Mu Chen raised his head, looking at the massive Sovereign Celestial Body as his
black pupils remained calm.

Under that calm, there were chill flowing.

“Sovereign Celestial Body… is very powerful? Let me help you refine it then.

”Mu Chen formed seals with a single hand, there wasn’t any hesitation in him as a
pillar of spiritual light shot out from his head.

Within the pillar of light, there was a black pagoda of light that faintly
appeared.

Chapter 672 - Shocking Boom!A pillar of light shot from Mu Chen’s head.

A black pagoda was faintly visible in the pillar.

Along with the changes of Mu Chen’s seals, the light pagoda flew out.

As the Spiritual Energy flowed, the black-coloured Nine-layered Pagoda quietly

floated in midair.

As the black Nine-layered Pagoda hovered in midair, some golden dragon runes on the
surface of the ancient pagoda flickered with light, as if they were wriggling,
emitting an indescribable pressure.

The instant the black Nine-layered Pagoda appeared, it attracted everyone’s

attention in the hall.

Even Sky Vulture Emperor and Spiritual Pupils Emperor had a flash of shock in their
eyes, since they could sense that this black Nine-layered Pagoda wasn’t simple.

“Hmph, trying to deceive people.

”Seeing the situation, Zhao Yue coldly snorted.

He had the experience of hundreds of battles under his belt, so he had seen all
sorts of spectacles.

Furthermore, the strength of the youth before him was clearly weaker than himself,
and the youth didn’t have a Sovereign Celestial Body.

No matter what he tried to do, it was impossible to contend against him.

“Absolute Ice Finger!”Zhao Yue heavily stomped his feet.

The seals changed as the Sovereign Celestial Body that looked to be crafted out of
ice abruptly pointed a finger at Mu Chen.

Icy Spiritual Energy swept out, even space was being frozen at this instance.

That ice finger was like an ice mountain enveloping towards him.

Mu Chen raised his head, looking at the intense cold that swept over.

A chilled light flashed across his black pupils.

Back then, Liu Ming, who had cultivated the Heavenly Flames Celestial Body,
couldn’t do a thing to him.

The Sovereign Celestial Body refined by Zhao Yue was clearly incomparable to the
former.

It was basically a pipe dream to suppress him.

Boom!Mu Chen abruptly stomped his feet, causing even the hall to seemingly jolt.
Behind him, space distorted and a purple sea vaguely appeared.

Whoosh!Purple Spiritual Energy rays of light amounting to hundreds shot forth.

They were like large pythons as they streaked across half the horizon and clashed
against the ice finger at lightning speed.

Tsk! Tsk!The collision between the two instantly exploded with piercing noise.

The two dominant forces of Spiritual Energy were colliding in an attempt to erode
each other.

“Trying to use Spiritual Energy to confront a Sovereign Celestial Body?” Seeing his
actions, Zhao Yue let out a cold sneer.

The Sovereign Celestial Body was the strongest fighting strength that a Sovereign
expert had.

Mu Chen was genuinely naïve to try obstructing it with Spiritual Energy alone.

“Freeze for me!”His seals abruptly changed.

The cold aura on the ice finger was like a powerful current as it poured down in an
attempt to freeze everything.

“Blaze!”Mu Chen lightly lifted the corner of his lips as a smear of purple flame
flashed across his eyes.

Shortly after, strands of purple flames surged forth in the confrontation against
the ice finger.

Along with the appearance of the strands of purple flames, the extremely chilling
cold aura was being melted at a visible speed.

There were even droplets of water falling from the ice finger as it evaporated into
nothingness.

“How is that possible?!” Zhao Yue’s face changed at the sight of it.

The cold aura present in his Sovereign Celestial Body was something that he had
obtained after fusing various cold jades.

If an ordinary Spiritual Energy encountered it, not only would it be frozen, it

would also be slowed down.

But, right now, it was being combusted by Mu Chen.

“To return politeness for politeness, it’s my turn next.

”Mu Chen smiled, but his eyes were cold.

He waved his sleeve, causing the black Nine-layered Pagoda to soar into the sky and
it expanded to roughly a thousand feet in size.

It then swiftly pressed down at lightning speed, directly shrouding Zhao Yue’s
Sovereign Celestial Body within.

Roar!When the black Nine-layered Pagoda was pressed down, the golden dragons on the
surface of the pagoda unleashed deep roars.

On the Nine-layered Pagoda, layers of golden light were triggered.

In an instant, five layers of the Nine-layered Pagoda were lit up.

In the Great Spiritual Academy Tournament, Mu Chen was able to ignite the fourth
layer when he was fighting Liu Qingyun.

But, naturally, his current strength was far stronger than in the past, so he could
easily ignite the fifth layer right now.

Roar!Golden light surged on the fifth layer of the pagoda, and five golden dragons
roared as they flew from the Nine-layered Pagoda, before charging into the pagoda.

They turned into golden flames as they enveloped the ice-blue Sovereign Celestial
Body.

Golden flames surged as they emitted dangerous fluctuations.

Zhao Yue looked at the golden flames as his face changed.

Clearly, he felt a massive sense of threat, but he had a considerable amount of

fighting experience under his belt.

In an instant, he sucked in a deep breath and changed his seals.

Light flowed on the surface of the Absolute Ice Celestial Body.

Looking from afar, it was like a massive giant of ice with a cold aura spreading
out.

Whoosh!At this instance, golden flames swept out.

There wasn’t any hesitation as it instantly enveloped the crystal-like ice giant.

Poof! Poof!As the golden flames surged forth, Zhao Yue’s eyes were instantly
replaced with shock when he sensed that his Sovereign Celestial Body was actually
swiftly melting under the golden flames.

Those golden flames were actually so overbearing!“Damn it, it’s not possible!”Zhao
Yue clenched his teeth.

A Sovereign Sea appeared behind him as boundless Spiritual Energy flowed towards
the Sovereign Celestial Body.

However, no matter how he tried to support the Sovereign Celestial Body, the golden
flames still burned.

As fire passed through, the ice Sovereign Celestial Body continued to swiftly melt.

Zhao Yue’s face started to turn pale as cold sweat surged out.

In the palace, those that were actually harbouring gazes to watch show couldn’t
help changing them at this moment.

The various kings were staring at the golden flames in the Nine-layered Pagoda.

They seemed to be a little fearful of those golden flames.

“These flames…”Up on the lotus stage, Sky Vulture Emperor and Spiritual Pupils
Emperor had a smear of astonishment on their calm faces.

Those golden flames didn’t seem so simple.

Sleeping Emperor, who had his eyes hung low with drowsy eyes, looked as if he had
widened his eyes a little at this instance.

He muttered with a fuzzy voice, “What overbearing flames.

”Those golden flames were igniting everything before them at a fast speed.

No matter how Zhao Yue attempted to resist, his Sovereign Celestial Body, which was
an ice giant, was swiftly shrinking in size.

An intense pain surged from Zhao Yue’s body.

Although he had yet to fuse his body and his Sovereign Celestial Body together,
there was still a significant link between them.

Thus, he also suffered the implication of it.

Zhao Yue tightly gritted his teeth as tense unease surged from his heart.

He still did not admit defeat as he eyed at Mu Chen with vicious eyes in an attempt
to search for a chance to strike back.

“Stubborn.

”Sensing his gaze, Mu Chen had also frowned his brows and no longer showed any
leniency.

With a wave of his sleeve, the golden flames swept out and had entirely enveloped
the Sovereign Celestial Body that was forged of absolute ice.

He knew that to become the Domain Lord of the Nine Nether Palace, he had to reveal
his real strength.

Right now, he didn’t need to show any pity, he only needed to intimidate!And to
achieve that effect, he would have to display thunderous means!“Burn!”Mu Chen
abruptly clenched his teeth as the golden flames blazed.

The Sovereign Celestial Body that seemed like an ice giant had, in an instant,
turned into a water current as it melted, turning into nothing under the ignition
of the golden flames.

Poof! Poof!Water mist spread out within the Nine-layered Pagoda, and that ice giant
crumbled.

Pffft!A mouthful of blood spewed out from Zhao Yue’s mouth as his figure flew away
in a miserable state.

His eyes were extremely dispirited, and were filled with fear as he looked at Mu
Chen.

He could never imagine that his Sovereign Celestial Body was actually refined by Mu
Chen!In the hall, all sorts of whispers stopped at this moment.
Many Domain Lords had grave expressions on their faces.

Even the Kings had their eyes slightly narrowed.

Although Zhao Yue’s Sovereign Celestial Body wasn’t unique, to refine it was
definitely not accomplishable by anyone.

Furthermore, the strength of the youth before their eyes had a significant gap with
Zhao Yue.

“That youth… doesn’t seem simple.

” The Asura King, who had no expression while staring at Mu Chen, had a ripple in
his eyes as he muttered.

Standing behind Asura King, Xu Qing, who was the head of the Four Great Domain
Lords, was also startled when he watched this scene and lightly nodded his head in
agreement.

The fighting strength possessed by this youth definitely wasn’t as shown on the
surface.

Right from the start, Zhao Yue had belittled Mu Chen in his heart, which served him
right.

“Wah, Mu Chen is actually so powerful.

” Tang Rou was pleasantly surprised as she looked at Mu Chen’ silhouette and
cheered out in excitement.

Previously, she didn’t have too much confidence for Mu Chen; after all, Mu Chen
hadn’t even refined his Sovereign Celestial Body yet.

But who could have expected that this battle would end so direct and efficient? Not
only was Zhao Yue swiftly defeated, even his Sovereign Celestial Body was refined…A
smear of shock also flashed across Tang Bing’s eyes as she nodded her head.

That fellow does have some capabilities to be regarded by Big Sister Nine Nether
with such importance.

Nine Nether wasn’t surprised, but she had a smear of a charming smile on her ice-
cold face.

What Mu Chen did was pretty beautiful.

Blood Hawk King coldly looked at Mu Chen as he cast a glance at the miserable Zhao
Yue and said with indifference, “Such trash.

”There was a suppressed resentment in his voice.

He had initially intended to suppress Mu Chen so that Nine Nether couldn’t get her
way, but he never expected Mu Chen’s methods to be so sharp.

Zhao Yue lowered his head with shame as he cast a vicious glance at Mu Chen, before
retreating in a sorry state.

Mu Chen wasn’t bothered about it as he raised his head, his black pupils were
looking directly at the Blood Hawk King.
The youth’s figure was tall and straight as he maintained a calm manner.

But at this moment, there wasn’t anyone that held contempt for him.

He cupped his hands towards Blood Hawk King with a smile.

“Lord Blood Hawk King, I wonder if I have the qualifications to become the Domain
Lord of the Nine Nether Palace right now.

”
Chapter 673 - Beaten to Death In the hall, when the Blood Hawk King heard the clear
voice coming from Mu Chen, his piercing eyes that could bring a chill down the
spines of others had a smear of darkness in them.

His fingers were lightly tapping the armrest of the chair, but he did not speak.

However, there was a formless pressure spreading out.

It was similar to a hawk hunting its prey, the ferocity was extremely fatal.

An expert whose strength had reached the Fifth Grade Sovereign Realm wasn’t
something that Mu Chen could contend against.

However, he only frowned his brows a little, and his expression had remained calm.

Back then, he had even endured the pressure coming from Luo Tianshen, and there was
a significant gap between Blood Hawk King and Luo Tianshen.

“Hmph.

”Just when the pressure was spread out, a cold snort came from Nine Nether as she
dissipated the pressure around Mu Chen.

Behind Blood Hawk King, Wu Tian maintained a smiling expression.

However, his smile was a little eerie as he apparently never expected that his
decision to have Zhao Yue go out would give Mu Chen a chance to perform.

Based on the means and ability he had displayed earlier, he was apparently not any
weaker than the ordinary Domain Lords.

“What a good method this brother has, my hands are a little itchy now.

I wonder if you want to spar a little?” Wu Tian looked at Mu Chen as he gave a

gentle smile.

He knew that Blood Hawk King did not want to return the quota of the Greatlaw
Goldpond back to Nine Nether, and Mu Chen had defeated Zhao Yue right now.

If he did not act and oppress the spirit of the other party, the Nine Nether Palace
might really get what they want.

Hearing Wu Tian’s words, many Domains Lords in the hall slightly twitched the
corner of their mouths.

Among the Domain Lods in the Great Havenlaw Domain, Wu Tian’s ranking was towards
the front.

And right now, he was apparently a little overbearing to act this way.
“I don’t see any more need for a battle between Domain Lords.

If you feel that my Nine Nether Palace doesn’t have the ability, then have a battle
between the Kings.

If you lose, hand over all your quotas.

” Nine Nether had a calm expression because she knew Mu Chen’s strength.

Although the latter had many cards up his sleeves, he had yet to refine his
Sovereign Celestial Body.

Perhaps he might be able to confront a First Grade Sovereign Realm, but Wu Tian had
already reached the Second Grade Sovereign Realm.

If they were to fight, Mu Chen might not gain any advantage at all.

Her words were somewhat calm, but it gave everyone else in the hall a shock in
their hearts.

The battle between Domain Lords could be considered a small trifle.

If it was a battle between the Kings, that was somewhat serious.

The moment one party lost, there would be a massive blow to the prestige of the
Great Havenlaw Domain.

Thus, when hearing Nine Nether’s words, even Blood Hawk King had narrowed his eyes.

If Nine Nether’s strength had remained as it was in the past, it would be something
that would he yearn for.

But now that Nine Nether had returned after succeeding her Tribulation, her
strength was clearly not something to belittle.

Before he had a thorough grasp of her strength, it was clearly an irrational

decision to fall out completely.

*Cough…*Up on the lotus stage, Sky Vulture Emperor finally gave a light cough as he
said in an old voice, “Like the other King forces of the Great Havenlaw Domain, the
Nine Nether Palace naturally has the qualifications to compete for the Greatlaw
Goldpond.

In the past, when Nine Nether wasn’t around, the quota was temporarily replaced.

Now that she is back, the quota will be returned to her.

”Spiritual Pupils Emperor smiled and did not say a word.

Hearing his words, Blood Hawk King cast a glance at the Spiritual Pupils Emperor.

Realising that the latter did not refute, he nodded his head.

“Since Lord Sky Vulture Emperor has already said so, the quota will be returned to
the Nine Nether Palace.

As for the 1000 Sovereign Spiritual Liquids that was given to them back then,
there’s no need for them to be returned.
Let to Nine Nether Palace keep them.

Since there are a thousand things to do in the Nine Nether Palace, you would
require those Sovereign Spiritual liquids, right?”Finishing his speech, he gave
Nine Nether a smile.

His smile was filled with a slight ridicule.

Nine Nether also gave him a reply with a smile filled with a chill, “Since the
quota has been settled, then let us discuss the cities that belonged to our Nine
Nether Palace.

”Hearing her words, the expression of Blood Hawk King grew dark.

He didn’t place the quota of the Greatlaw Goldpond with importance, even if Mu Chen
were to go compete, he didn’t believe that the latter could emerge among the many
Domain Lords and obtain the limited quota.

Thus, he could give them a step; but, right now, Nine Nether wanted to take back
all the cities that were already under his control, and it was not something that
he could tolerate.

Those cities provided him with a significant amount of Sovereign Spiritual Liquids
every year, allowing the Blood Hawk Hall to rapidly develop and continually
strengthen himself.

The Sovereign Spiritual Liquids were something that could not be lacked, so he was
absolutely unwilling to hand out those fat sheeps that he had taken.

“Nine Nether, isn’t your appetite a little too big when you have just returned?”
Blood Hawk King coldly said.

“I’m just taking back what belongs to my Nine Nether Palace to begin with.

” Nine Nether faintly said.

“Those cities weren’t forcefully taken by me.

You have left the Nine Nether Palace for so many years, since when have you done
your part to protect those cities? Since you couldn’t protect others, it’s natural
for others to seek a new master.

” Blood Hawk King coldly sneered.

“Blood Hawk King, we all understand, why speak with such dignity about it? Did you
think that I am unaware of your threats in the dark?” Nine Nether refuted.

In the palace, the two had cold gazes and did not let out a single step.

The remaining Kings kept quiet as they allowed the two to fight.

They, apparently, had no intentions to join this mess.

“The both of you can stop arguing.

”On the lotus stage, Spiritual Pupils Emperor, who had not been speaking, swept his
pitch-black eyes at everyone.
“Our Great Havenlaw Domain has its own rules and regulations.

As long as it was within the rules, anything can be done.

As for the ownership of those cities, if anyone is unhappy, feel free to act.

Just like my words from before, as long as it is within the rules.

”Hearing his words, Nine Nether furrowed her brows, while Blood Hawk King smiled
with satisfaction.

As the Kings of the Great Havenlaw Domain, they naturally knew the rules and
regulations of the Great Havenlaw Domain.

The territories in it were vast, and amongst those territories, there were many
cities.

A majority of those were controlled by the Great Havenlaw Domain, while the
remaining territories were left to the Nine Kings to manage.

Amongst the Nine Kings, there would be some that weren’t harmonious and would
occasionally compete for territories.

As for those competitions, the Great Havenlaw Domain had not stopped them, but
there was a rule.

No King could partake in the competition, only their subordinates were allowed to
compete.

Right now, the Nine Nether Palace could be considered as the weakest amongst the
Nine Kings.

As for Domain Lords, there was only one, Mu Chen, who had just obtained the
qualification.

As for the other King forces, they had many powerful experts under them, as many as
clouds.

If they were to fight, the Nine Nether Palace clearly couldn’t get any advantage.

Thus, although Spiritual Pupils Emperor’s words didn’t seem to be helping either
side, they had actually turned down Nine Nether’s attempt to retrieve those cities.

After all, it wasn’t possible for Mu Chen of the Nine Nether Palace to confront
those forces with as many experts as clouds all by himself.

Nine Nether clenched her teeth.

Just when she was about to speak, she saw Sky Vulture Emperor lightly shaking his
head at her.

Only then did she unwillingly swallow the words that she was about to say and
coldly said, “Since that’s the case, then we’ll see.

”“You're welcome to try anytime.

” Blood Hawk King laughed without placing Nine Nether’s sharp words in his heart.

After all, the difference between the two forces under them was too significant.
Although Mu Chen had defeated Zhao Yue, Zhao Yue merely ranked among the middle of
the many Domain Lords in the Blood Hawk Hall.

Mu Chen did not say a word after seeing how the situation developed, then his
figure moved and appeared behind Nine Nether.

“Mu Chen, you’re so powerful.

” Tang Rou approached Mu Chen and chuckled.

Her face was filled with joy.

No matter what, Mu Chen had gotten some face of their Nine Nether Palace back.

Tang Bing faintly nodded her head as she revealed a rare smile at Mu Chen.

“After the struggles between life and death, I have finally seen the smile of Big
Sister Tang Bing.

It’s not easy.

” Looking at her reaction, Mu Chen couldn’t help smiling.

Pfft.

Tang Rou covered her mouth as she chuckled.

She had apparently heard the teasing tone in Mu Chen’s words.

Tang Bing’s face grew red as she shyly glared at Mu Chen.

After that, her face returned to ice as she said, “When you receive the quota of
the Greatlaw Goldpond, I will smile till you’re satisfied.

”“Then I’ll have to work hard!” Mu Chen seemed a little excited.

Tang Bing tilted her head as she let out a soft snort.

However, there was a faint lift on the corner of her rosy lips.

Her heart, which was a little oppressed from before, had loosened up by a lot right
now.

When Nine Nether saw that she could no longer obtain the lost cities in the Nine
Kings Conference, she no longer spoke and maintained a calm expression.

No matter what, she had at least seized the qualification for Mu Chen.

As for the things that had been taken, there would bea time in the future to deal
with them.

As for the rest of the conference, it was discussing other matters, which Nine
Nether did not interrupt.

After another hour, the conference finally came to an end.

When the conference ended, Nine Nether straightened her body and led Mu Chen, Tang
Bing and Tang Rou out of the hall.
Outside the palace, they bumped into Blood Hawk King’s batch.

The two sides looked at each other with cold gazes, even the surrounding
temperature seemed to have lowered.

“Haha, Nine Nether, it’s good for young people to have a drive.

But remember that it’s too easy to break.

” Blood Hawk King lightly smiled.

“Blood Hawk King also has to remember that your stomach might not take it if you’re
too greedy.

” Nine Nether replied with indifference.

“Haha, this stomach of mine can even take your entire Nine Nether Palace.

” Blood Hawk King smiled with his eyes narrowed.

He then cast a glance at Mu Chen, who was standing beside Nine Nether, with cold
flashes in his eyes.

He did not speak anymore as he strode away.

Wu Tian and Cao Feng passed by them.

Shortly after, the former slightly paused his steps beside Mu Chen as he stretched
his hand out with a smile on his face.

He gently patted Mu Chen’s shoulder and said in a soft tone, “This brother, if you
wish to participate in the competition for the Greatlaw Goldpond, then I have to
remind you…”His voice paused, and a savage smile lifted on the corner of his lips.

“Be careful, in case you are to be beaten to death by me.

”He laughed as he patted Mu Chen’s shoulder and left.

Looking at Wu Tian’s silhouette, Mu Chen muttered, “I really want to… beat him to
death.

”
Chapter 674 - Refining the Great Solar Undying Body At the entrance of the hall,
Nine Nether heard Mu Chen’s muttering, and a smear of a smile appeared on her icy
face.

“Such a noisy person, it’s good for him to be beaten to death.

”“Then, I will work hard for it.

” Mu Chen nodded his head.

Standing behind them, Tang Bing and Tang Rou bitterly smiled.

They didn’t know where Mu Chen got his confidence from, but Wu Tian wasn’t someone
that could be compared to Zhao Yue.

Even amongst the Domain Lords of the Great Havenlaw Domain, he was towards the top.
If they were to fight, the both of them couldn’t imagine Mu Chen’s outcome.

This fellow really doesn’t fear anything.

“Let’s go.

”Nine Nether smiled.

The chill that she had previously, when she entered the palace, had disappeared as
she waved her hand and was about to leave with them.

“Nine Nether!”There was a sudden voice that rang out, halting Nine Nether’s steps,
before she slightly turned her head around.

She saw Xu Qing, donned in azure clothes.

The latter’s gaze was radiant with joy as he stared at her.

“Oh, so it’s Xu Qing.

What’s the matter?” Nine Nether raised her gaze with a smile, though her voice was
warm, there was a cold tone in her voice that made her unapproachable.

Nine Nether’s character wasn’t easy to approach to begin with.

Although she and Xu Qing could barely be considered as acquaintances, Xu Qing was
no different from a stranger in her eyes.

Looking at Nine Nether’s slender gaze, Xu Qing was briefly stunned.

The calm that he usually had disappeared, even his heartbeat was beating faster.

His eyes were also getting even more radiant and heated.

“I welcome your return.

” Xu Qing said, in the end, with a light tone.

“Thank you.

”Nine Nether indifferently nodded her head as she turned around and left with no
intention to further converse with Xu Qing.

Just when Xu Qing had bucked up his courage and was about to speak more, his face
dulled and shrugged his shoulders in self-mockery.

Staring at that silhouette, the admiration in his eyes hadn’t lessened.

“Tsk, tsk, looks like you’re not any better than me.

” Behind Xu Qing, there was a gloating voice that resounded.

Turning his head, he saw Zhou Yue looking at him with a smile.

“At least I wasn’t beaten up.

” Xu Qing’s expression returned to normal.

Many people knew that Zhou Yue had feelings for Tang Bing; after all, that fellow
hid in the Nine Nether Palace back then and was chased out by Tang Bing with a
sword.

“Speaking of which, we do share the same fate.

” Zhou Yue smiled and slightly narrowed his eyes, looking at the slender figure
following behind Nine Nether.

“I have already inquired.

The man that followed Nine Nether back was called Mu Chen… looks like Nine Nether
intends to have him represent the Nine Nether Palace for the Greatlaw Goldpond
competition this time.

What do you think?”“Haha, it won’t implicate me, no matter what.

” Xu Qing lightly smiled.

He knew that it didn’t matter if Mu Chen was simple or not, it was absolutely not
possible to shake his spot as the Head since he had high confidence in his own
strength.

The Head of the Four Great Domain Lords wasn’t something obtained through words
alone.

“Yeah, looks like there will be a show to watch.

I want to see how far this Mu Chen can go.

” Zhou Yue smiled with his eyes narrowed.

The two laughed as they turned around and left.

…“Xu Qing seems to still be interested in you.

” Several figures streaked across the horizon.

On the way back to the Nine Nether Palace, Mu Chen earnestly said as he approached
Nine Nether.

“Shut up.

” Nine Nether rolled her eyes at this fellow that had nothing else better to do.

Tang Bing and Tang Rou smiled.

“You have seen Wu Tian and Cao Feng, what do you feel? Are you confident? If you
wish to obtain the quota of the Greatlaw Goldpond, you have to defeat one of them.

” Nine Nether looked at Mu Chen as she said with a solemn expression.

“It’s still too early to speak about it.

”The youth briefly pondered as an easing smile appeared on his handsome face.

He slowly clenched his fist.

“But two months from now, I will win.

”Two months was sufficient for him to refine the Great Solar Undying Body.

At that time, he wouldn’t have to fear any opponents of the same level as his
Sovereign Celestial Body.

Even if Wu Tian had the strength of Second Grade Sovereign, there was no need to
fear.

Tang Bing and Tang Rou were surprised, after seeing the confidence that was
revealed by the youth.

They still weren’t too familiar with Mu Chen, so they didn’t understand how much he
could improve in just two months.

After all, there was still a considerable distance between him and Wu Tian and Cao
Feng.

Although they had their doubts in their hearts, they did not speak about them when
they saw Nine Nether lightly nodding her head.

They believed in Nine Nether, and Nine Nether believed in Mu Chen.

So, naturally, they would believe in Mu Chen as well.

Perhaps he might genuinely accomplish it.

“Work hard.

”Tang Bing and Tang Rou exchanged a glance as they softly said to Mu Chen.

Their similar appearance had traces of encouragement and expectation at this

moment.

After Nine Nether’s return, the first battle of their Nine Nether Palace was the
most crucial one.

Looking at the encouragement and expectation in the eyes of the two girls, Mu Chen
raised his head as he deeply inhaled a mouthful of air.

Shortly after, he lightly smiled.

Looks like I definitely have to obtain the quota for the Greatlaw Goldpond.

However, he was even more eager about finally starting refining the Great Solar
Undying Body that he had been dreaming about.

This would be the starting point of his path towards being a supreme expert.

…Blood Hawk HallBlood Hawk King’s face was dark as he slightly narrowed his eyes.

The eerie killing intent that was spread out made all the experts in the hall yo
not dare speak a word.

Anyone could tell that Blood Hawk King was extremely enraged at this moment.

“Lord, are we going to slow down our speed in swallowing the Nine Nether Palace for
the time being?” An expert of the Blood Hawk Hall softly said.
“Slow down?”Blood Hawk King opened his eyes and coldly looked over, causing the
expert that previously spoke to feel a chill down their spine.

“Just a whimsical woman wants to let this King feel fear?” Blood Hawk King’s speech
was cold.

“Pass my orders, quicken our speed in taking over those cities under the Nine
Nether Palace.

As long as they join our Blood Hawk Hall, this King will grant them all sorts of
benefit.

Otherwise, they will be looking down on our Blood Hawk Hall, and in the future,
when that King fusses over it…” Blood Hawk King waved his hand as he said with a
cold sneer.

“Yes!” The upper hierarchy of the Blood Hawk Hall immediately replied.

A smear of an eerie smile rose on the corner of Blood Hawk King’s lips as he
continued, “Looks like Nine Nether places great importance on that brat named Mu
Chen.

Since her confidence was that great… you guys cripple him during the competition of
the Greatlaw Goldpond.

”Hearing his words, Wu Tian and Cao Feng exchanged a look as savage smiles appeared
on their faces.

“We had the same thoughts, as well.

”…Nine Nether Palace, Cultivating ChamberMu Chen was quietly sitting with a calm
expression, there weren’t any ripples of Spiritual Energy around him.

He had yet to begin his cultivation and had quietly sat down for the past two
hours.

Only when his heart became as calm as water, did he slowly open his eyes.

He formed seals with both of his hand, then a dark light flew out of his body and
hovered before him.

It was the mysterious black paper that had the cultivation method of the Great
Solar Undying Body, the Immortal Page.

Mu Chen quietly looked at it.

This mysterious black piece of paper contained secrets that could make countless
Sovereign experts go crazy.

The real worth of the Immortal Page could even cause Heavenly Sovereigns to be
disturbed.

After summoning this black piece of paper out, Mu Chen’s seals changed once again.

Three lumps of light flew out and those three lumps of light contained terrifying
fluctuations of Spiritual Energies.

Vaguely, there was a flow of water resounding.

That was sign that the amount of Spiritual Energy had reached a frightening degree.

Those three lumps of light were the materials that Mu Chen had given a great deal
of effort to obtain.

Nine Suns Divine LingzhiVoid Great Solar FruitUndying Divine LeafThese three
materials were scarce.

Mu Chen had expended a great deal of effort to obtain them.

But, fortunately, he managed to gather them.

He could finally cultivate the Great Solar Undying Body that was originally out of
his reach.

Mu Chen’s slender hand slowly landed on the Immortal Page.

A dark light surged on the mysterious black paper that flowed out from his finger
and into his body.

Boundless ancient information exploded in Mu Chen’s mind.

That flow caused his body to faintly tremble.

However, he had forcefully endured it and accepted that great information.

The complicated method of refining the Great Solar Undying Body.

The acceptance of the message lasted for a dozen minutes, before it came to an end.

Mu Chen abruptly opened his eyes and his black pupils stared at the three
treasures.

His gaze was filled with solemn.

He knew from that information that he only had one chance to refine the Great Solar
Undying Body.

It wasn’t just because of the rarity of materials, there were other reasons as
well.

The instant he failed, it would be hard for his body to be compatible with the
Great Solar Undying Body.

Even if he managed to gather the materials again in the future, it would be

impossible for him to succeed.

There wasn’t a second chance for the Great Solar Undying Body.

The moment he failed, he would lose the opportunity forever.

Such harsh condition made Mu Chen’s heart jolt.

But the shock was soon suppressed by him.

He deeply inhaled a mouthful of air, and no longer had hesitation in his eyes.

No matter how hard it is to cultivate the Great Solar Undying Body, I will
definitely not give up!Furthermore, I have to succeed in refining it!Because I have
already given my promise to that girl!Mu Chen formed seals, and his gaze grew sharp
and firm.

Let’s begin!
Chapter 675 - Nine Suns as Body, Great Solar refines the Body Mu Chen’s heart was
as calm as the water, the surrounding spiritual energies quietly retracted as
though it was a bottomless abyss.

But when his heart calmed down, the Sovereign Sea in his body begun to ripple with
tidals.

Rustle.

The purple Sovereign Sea was sweeping with great waves at the moment.

There were rustling sounds of water that rang out along with majestic spiritual
energy fathering in his Sovereign Sea.

The refine the Sovereign Celestial Body requires a terrifying amount of spiritual
energy.

This, Mu Chen, was making preparations.

In the torrential Sovereign Sea, there was a golden light that soared up as it
hovered in the ocean shortly.

It was Mu Chen’s Spirit, in this instance, the expression of his Spirit was filled
with solemn.

Haaaa.

A sparkle of purple flame mixed with spiritual energies spews out from the mouth or
his Spirit.

Shortly after, the gaze of his Spirit turned solemn and formed complicated seals.

Boom!Just when Mu Chen had completed his seals, there was a rumble that rang out
from his Sovereign Sea.

A massive pillar of spiritual energy was seen shooting out of his Sovereign Sea.

Boom! Boom!Pillar of spiritual energy soared up the horizon and descended down
shortly after.

It was like a gigantic dragon as it clashed with an astonishing manner.

His entire Sovereign Sea fluctuated with torrential waves at this moment.

Radiant purple light spread out from his Sovereign Sea, space of the location of
the collision was twisted from the violent spiritual energy.

Mu Chen’s Spirit raised his head looking at the radiant location as he formed seals
with his tiny hands.

Boom!The Sovereign Sea trembled once again as boundless spiritual energies were
like water pythons soaring up the horizon.

In the end, they whistled towards the purple light, as though it was a massive
whale swallowing water, the scene was exceptionally majestic.
Boundless spiritual energies were continually gathering over, along with boundless
spiritual energies pouring in, the purple light became even more radiant.

Faintly under that radiance, there seems to be a colossal figure gradually forming.

The first step of refining the Sovereign Celestial Body, form the initial outline
of the Sovereign Celestial Body with his own spiritual energies.

That step solely depended on the spiritual energies one possess.

The majestic Sovereign Sea had great pillars of light soaring up the horizon along
with the tiny hands of Mu Chen’s Spirit and poured entirely into the light figure.

The Sovereign Sea that possessed boundless spiritual energies initially was clearly
being exhausted at swift speed.

However, there clearly wasn’t any threat to the spiritual energies in his Sovereign
Sea for Mu Chen, who had a solid foundation as they were all refined personally by
him.

In addition to fusing with the Undying Flames, the number of his spiritual energies
far surpassed ordinary Sovereigns.

Thus, the pouring lasted for an entire ten minutes before the violent movements in
his Sovereign Sea gradually calmed down.

His Sovereign Sea was covered with brilliant purple light.

Mu Chen’s Spirit raised his head as he focused his gaze on the purple horizonThere
was a massive figure of roughly a thousand feet gradually forming on the horizon as
it gradually stood up, standing on the horizon as it fluctuated with dreadful
spiritual energies ripples.

The initial form of his Sovereign Celestial Body had been formed!Mu Chen looked at
the massive purple figure and briefly felt relieved in his heart.

But shortly later, his heart tensed up again as he knew that the refinery was just
about to begin.

“Nine Suns Divine Lingzhi, transform!”Heavy words rang out from Mu Chen’s heart.

In the Cultivating Chamber, the Nine Suns Divine Lingzhi that was floating before
Mu Chen violently trembled as it turned into a brilliant ray of light and flew into
Mu Chen’s mouth.

Boom!The sky of his Sovereign Sea seemed as if it had been torn apart as a
brilliant ray of light descended.

It was as though the sun had descended, a gently swaying lingzhi could be seen in
it.

On the lingzhi, it seemed as if nine suns were rising up.

Mu Chen’s Spirit raised his hand as he pointed at the sky.

“Nine suns as the body.

”The Nine Suns Divine Lingzhi was urged as it descended onto the head of the
largepurple light figure, descending bit by bit along the head of the massive
figure.

When the Nine Suns Divine Lingzhi entered the massive figure, it instantly split
up.

Nine blazing suns shot out as it hovered at the head, heart and the crucial
location of the four limbs.

Tsk! Tsk!When the nine blazing suns took their place, they seemed to have been
blazed in an instant as dreadful temperature spread out.

The tremendous amount of spiritual energy within the large figure had been
combusted at a swift speed.

The massive figure was swiftly shrinking in size, according to the fearsome speed,
it might not even take ten breaths for the initial form of the Sovereign Celestial
Body that Mu Chen had bitterly refined to be blazed to nought by the nine suns.

And when the initial form of his Sovereign Celestial Body was combusted, all those
efforts that Mu Chen did before would all be in vain.

In the Cultivating Chamber, Mu Chen abruptly opened his eyes and flicked his
finger.

The Meru Bracelet on his wrist trembled as a current flow out.

When that current flow up, a dense mist rose in this chamber.

Those mists were all spiritual energies that current was like a small creek.

It was all formed with Sovereign Spiritual Liquid.

That small creek contained at least tens of thousands of Sovereign Spiritual

Liquid!Mu Chen knew beforehand that if he wishes to refine the Great Solar Undying
Body, he would require a significant amount of Sovereign Spiritual Liquid.

Thus, he got Nine Nether to undo the seals of the Spiritual Condensing Bowl.

On his hand, he had obtained another sum of nearly 50,000 Sovereign Spiritual
Liquid.

It was a colossal amount as Mu Chen could sense that it had already probably taken
up half of the spiritual energies in the Spiritual Condensing Bowl.

But to refine the Great Solar Undying Body successfully, the price of 50,000
Sovereign Spiritual Liquid was still worthed it!The spiritual energy current formed
with Sovereign Spiritual Liquid was sucked into Mu Chen’s mouth.

In an instant, his body trembled as he did not dare to allow the dreadful spiritual
energy to stop over in his body and had directly poured it into the initial form of
the Sovereign Celestial Body.

Rumble!Countless cracks tore in the horizon of the Sovereign Sea as numerous

spiritual energies flow poured down, into the Sovereign Celestial Body from all
direction.

Poof! Poof!As a tremendous amount of spiritual energies was poured in, the initial
form of the Sovereign Celestial Body which was shrinking had slowed down.
Those boundless spiritual energies were being continually combusted by the nine
suns.

Along with every single spiritual energy being burned, there would be golden mist
rising up.

As those golden mist rose up, they were all absorbed by the initial form of the
Sovereign Celestial Body.

Along with it, little tiny golden facula began to appear on the surface of the
large purple Sovereign Celestial Body.

Under the burning of the nine blazing suns, spiritual energies were swiftly being
exhausted at a horrifying speed.

In just half a day, the current formed from 10,000 Sovereign Spiritual Liquid had
already been exhausted.

The result from those spiritual energies allowed the initial form of the Sovereign
Celestial Body to gradually radiant as chunks of golden facula increased in
numbers…Mu Chen’s Spirit changed his seals.

The sky tore apart again as cracks appeared, there was another spiritual energy
current that descended.

Clearly, he was going to use more Sovereign Spiritual Liquid that he had prepared.

If the first step were to use his own spiritual energy, the second step would be to
see how thick his wallet was…And the exhaustion speed of this Great Solar Undying
Body also made Mu Chen startled in his heart.

If it wasn’t for him obtaining the Spiritual Condensing Bowl with a vast fortune in
the Great Spiritual Academy Tournament, obtaining the enormous amount of Sovereign
Spiritual Liquid stockpiled by an ancient sect, even if he managed to gather all
the materials, he would fail from collect a vast amount of Sovereign Spiritual
Liquid.

After all, the amount of Sovereign Spiritual Liquid required by ordinary Sovereign
Celestial Body was only 1000-2000 at best.

But that amount was barely enough to squeeze in between the teeth here.

Mu Chen inwardly lets out a breath as he began to focus.

He only needed to continually pour Sovereign Spiritual Liquid into the initial form
of the Sovereign Celestial Body for the second step.

The pouring lasted for eight days.

In the eight days, there wasn’t a break of pouring spiritual energies.

Naturally, 50,000 Sovereign Spiritual Liquid had also been entirely exhausted up
till here.

After using the last drop of Sovereign Spiritual Liquid, even Mu Chen couldn’t help
being astonished by his temperament.

He knew that if others knew that he had used an amount of 50,000 Sovereign
Spiritual Liquid to refine his Sovereign Celestial Body, they would definitelybe
frightened silly.

However, there was a great result from those 50,000 Sovereign Spiritual Liquid.

Within the Sovereign SeaMu Chen’s Spirit raised his head as he looked up at the
horizon, there was a thousand feet light figure stood at the tower.

That figure was no longer purple in colour but was thoroughly golden.

Golden light spreads out to every single corner of the large figure.

Looking from afar, it was like a golden Buddha, mysteriously prestigious as a

formless pressure envelops over, it was incredibly terrifying.

Mu Chen could clearly sense that the nine suns were still blazing in the golden
figure, but it was no longer possible to set the Sovereign Celestial Body on fire.

Because there was an initial scale of the Sovereign Celestial Body right now.

The second step of “nine suns as body” was a success!Mu Chen felt massively
relieved in his heart.

After a brief moment later, his body tensed up again as the grave in his eyes grew
more profound.

He knew that the next step was the most dangerous step of refining the Great Solar
Undying Body.

If he couldn’t pass through it, then all his effort would have been in vain.

In the Cultivating Chamber, Mu Chen opened his eyes as he stared at the fruit
before him.

It was the Void Great Solar Fruit, this fruit harboured fearsome spiritual energy
in it.

Compared to the Nine Suns Divine Lingzhi, it was even more overbearing.

Mu Chen looked at it, and in the next instant, his gaze grew firm.

He grabbed at the Void Great Solar Fruit and threw it into his mouth as his eyes
were filled with struggles.

He had waited for a long time, and he refuses to he stopped here.

Great Solar refines the body!

Chapter 676 - Celestial Body Success The calm Sovereign Sea abruptly turned violent
at this moment.

There were ripples on the surface of the golden figure above the Sovereign Sea as
well.

A formless violent pressure descended from the sky as it engulfed the entire
Sovereign Sea.

Mu Chen raised the head of his Spirit with graveness.

There was a huge rupture in the sky of the Sovereign Sea, and a dazzling light came
from the crack as it spread throughout the Sovereign Sea.

Boom! Boom!A terrifying pressure descended as a massive golden sun charged into the
Sovereign Sea in a tyrannical manner.

That golden sun was naturally formed by the Void Great Solar Fruit.

Golden flames twisted around the golden sun as a horrifying temperature spread out
in the Sovereign Sea, causing the Spiritual Energy in the Sovereign Sea to
evaporate at this moment.

Compared to the Nine Suns Divine Lingzhi, the power of the Void Great Solar Fruit
was clearly more overbearing.

At the sight of this scene, Mu Chen felt shock in his heart as well.

He inhaled a deep breath as he suppressed the astonishment in his heart.

He formed seals with both of his hands as a deep voice rang out from the Sovereign
Sea.

“Great Solar refines the body!”Buzz! Buzz!Along with Mu Chen’s bark, the golden sun
slowly descended, entering from the head of the large golden figure.

Boom!Golden flames instantly charged into the golden figure.

In an instant, there was golden liquid dripping from the surface of the golden
figure, as if it was melting.

The expression of Mu Chen’s face was red as he sensed that the large golden figure
was like a furnace as golden flames surged.

The violent energy constantly rose, as if it was trying to erupt that golden
figure.

Mu Chen’s gaze was grave.

If the Nine Suns Divine Lingzhi from before was to solidify the initial form of the
Sovereign Celestial Body, this Void Great Solar Body would test how firm it was.

If it succeeds, the Sovereign Celestial Body would truly be refined.

But if it fails, the golden sun will burn the unqualified Sovereign Celestial Body
to nought.

Poof! Poof!Along with the golden flames on the sun being more radiant, the speed of
the golden liquid dripping off the surface of the Sovereign Celestial Body
increased.

The massive figure of the Sovereign Celestial Body also started to shrink.

Mu Chen’s gaze became even more solemn.

The violent golden flames from the sun were getting more and more violent as they
continually increased.

According to this speed, it was impossible for his Sovereign Celestial Body to
endure it.
But at this sort of time, Mu Chen had no ways of retreat.

The moment he failed, he would be truly unfated with the Great Solar Undying Body.

It was an outcome that he could not bear.

Mu Chen grounded his teeth as he stared at the Sovereign Celestial Body that had
golden liquid constantly flowing down.

Time swiftly passed.

Half a day passed in an instant.

Poof! Poof!The golden liquid was already like a small current as it flowed down
from the surface of the golden Sovereign Celestial Body.

Furthermore, the majestic figure of the Sovereign Celestial Body had also shrunk
several times.

Also, there were signs of distortion from the figure, as if it was being burned to
its limits by the high temperature.

Fine golden flames oozed out from the pores of the Sovereign Celestial Body and
blazed on the surface of the figure.

Mu Chen’s gaze was fixed in between the brows of the Sovereign Celestial Body.

There was a golden sun that looked like a fireball with the golden flames that were
like wriggling snakes.

That golden sun was so radiant that it could not be directly looked at.

Violent ripples still continued to rise.

The face of Mu Chen’s Spirit gradually became distorted with both of his eyes red.

There were also small trembles on his hand as he looked at the deformed Sovereign
Celestial Body.

His face was a little pale, since he knew that the Sovereign Celestial Body that he
had formed could no longer endure the burning of the golden sun.

That energy was too violent.

“It’s about to explode…”Mu Chen’s heart was wildly beating as the golden light on
the centre of the brows of the Sovereign Celestial Body grew even more radiant.

The violent fluctuations showed that the Sovereign Celestial Body had already
reached its limits.

The golden sun was like a heart that was quietly beating.

Light rotated between radiance and darkness.

In a particular moment, the light had frozen and the golden light violently
exploded in the next instant.

Poof! Poof!Countless golden pillars of light shot out from the body of the
Sovereign Celestial Body.
This Sovereign Celestial Body that seemed indestructible abruptly exploded!It was
also the instant when the Sovereign Celestial Body exploded that Mu Chen formed
seals with his hands.

In the Cultivating Chamber, the silently waiting Undying Divine Leaf abruptly shot
into the centre of Mu Chen’s brows.

At the same time, a fine light streaked across the horizon of the Sovereign Sea,
into the Sovereign Celestial Body that had exploded.

Boom!The terrifying golden light wreaked havoc as it drew torrential ripples on the
Sovereign Sea.

Space was intensely distorting, as if even his Sovereign Sea was about to explode.

Mu Chen’s Spirit hid at the depths of his Sovereign Sea to prevent himself from
being affected by the terrifying shock wave.

The havoc lasted for a long while, before it gradually weakened.

Mu Chen’s Spirit flew out from the depths of the Sovereign Sea.

His gaze was directed at the area that was covered with golden light.

The golden giant no longer existed.

Clearly, it had been destroyed under that impact earlier.

Did he fail?Mu Chen stared at that area as he abruptly quietly sat down.

He formed seals with both of his hand, the cultivating chant of the Great Solar
Undying Body was like a current of water as it flowed into his heart.

“The heart of I, like a great sun as it never extinguishes…”The cultivating chant

was like a bell as it rang out in Mu Chen’s heart.

Faintly, he seemed to have gotten an insight as he formed seals with both of his
hand and howled, “Undying Protection!”The golden light abruptly fluctuated as an
ancient leaf quietly hovered in the golden light.

The leaf was torn apart as a fine light spread out.

That light seemed to have mysterious recovery abilities.

As it fluctuated, the golden light that spread out in this region gathered.

As the golden light gathered, there was a massive golden giant that gradually took
form.

In less than ten breath’s time, a Sovereign Celestial Body had already been formed
in the region covered with golden light.

Furthermore, the Sovereign Celestial Body that formed this time was even more
brilliant.

The golden figure looked as if it was the firmest thing that existed in the world,
being indestructible.
Also, there were dark purple runes on the surface of the golden Sovereign Celestial
Body.

Those runes were ancient and majestic.

They were actually the patterns of several suns.

The scene was like a myriad of suns up in the sky.

That Sovereign Celestial Body quietly sat on the horizon without any noise.

As golden light flowed, a formless, ancient and boundless sensation was emitted
that made even Mu Chen feel stunned in his heart.

“Not able to be formed without breaking… forming after breaking…”Mu Chen muttered.

Compared to the one that he had refined, this Sovereign Celestial Body was even
more perfect.

There weren’t any flaws in its entire body.

Evidently, this was the genuine Great Solar Undying Body.

It had to experience breaking before it could be even more perfect under the power
of the Undying Divine Leaf.

“This is…”Mu Chen raised his head with his eyes filled with shock.

“Great Solar Undying Body?”Golden light gradually dissipated as the majestic golden
Celestial Body became even more apparent.

The face of the Sovereign Celestial Body was similar to Mu Chen.

Looking from afar, it was like an enormous Buddha, possessing the power to suppress
even the heavens and earth.

Also, there was a large sun hovering at the back of the Sovereign Celestial Body’s
head.

There were golden flames that were quietly moving around the sun.

They were mysterious, yet prestigious.

He had finally succeeded in the Great Solar Undying Body!Unconcealable joy rose in
Mu Chen’s eyes.

After all the hardships, he had finally successfully cultivated the Great Solar
Undying Body!He had waited many years just for this moment.

Mu Chen inhaled a mouthful of air as his Spirit moved, appearing above the head of
the Sovereign Celestial Body and sunk into it.

Once his Spirit entered, the Great Solar Undying Body abruptly opened its eyes as
golden light spread out, filled with endless prestige and mystery.

In the Cultivating Chamber, Mu Chen abruptly opened his shut eyes.

He stood up, and a golden light was emitted from his body as a massive golden
figure appeared.
Rumble!The Cultivating Chamber violently trembled as the golden Sovereign Celestial
Body was heading for the roof of the Cultivating Chamber.

In an instant, huge cracks appeared in the chamber as it crumbled with a huge

noise.

Outside the Cultivating Chamber, Nine Nether, who was cultivating on a stone
platform, had abruptly opened her eyes.

She raised her head, looking at the Cultivating Chamber that had golden light
spreading out, along with shocking Spiritual Energy ripples that soared into the
skies“He succeeded?”Nine Nether’s heart moved as she appeared in the sky.

She formed seals with both of her hands as a massive Spiritual Energy screen
enveloped over, covering the radius of a thousand feet.

As the light engulfed everything, the golden Celestial Body that was a thousand
feet abruptly broke out from the Cultivating Chamber and stood over the horizon.

Nine Nether lifted her gaze as she looked at the golden Buddha with a blazing sun
behind its head.

An unconcealable smear of shock appeared on her face.

She knew that the Sovereign Celestial Body Mu Chen was cultivating wasn’t simple,
but she never expected for it to be so majestic and spectacular.

“This is the Great Solar Undying Body?”She muttered to herself as shock filled her
heart.

Chapter 677 - Nine Nether Troop The golden Sovereign Celestial Body that was a
thousand feet tall stood towering between the heavens and earth as golden light
spread out.

The Spiritual Energy in this region was a little violent at this moment as the
Spiritual Energies gathered around the Sovereign Celestial Body.

The scene of it was extraordinarily majestic and spectacular.

Nine Nether stood in the sky as she looked at the Sovereign Celestial Body.

Her gaze was filled with dense shock.

Although she had the physique of a Divine Beast and could not cultivate a Sovereign
Celestial Body, she was someone that had tons of experience.

She had even seen many of the 99 Rankings of Sovereign Celestial Bodies.

However, she couldn’t help being a little shocked at this moment.

She realised that amongst the majority of the Sovereign Celestial Bodies that she
had seen before, there wasn’t one that had a might compared to this one before her.

Nine Nether looked around.

Fortunately, the surroundings had already been isolated by her.

Otherwise, many people would sense the commotion, revealing some of Mu Chen’s
means.

“This is the power of a Sovereign Celestial Body?”The Sovereign Celestial Body that
seemed like it was forged from gold opened its golden eyes that were filled with
endless prestige.

The Sovereign Celestial Body slowly clenched its fists, causing even space to
distort a little.

Formless and horrifying energy fluctuated in his limbs, giving him an urge to roar
at the sky.

The Spiritual Energy of this region whistled over, forming into light rays and was
absorbed by the Sovereign Celestial Body.

At this instance, as the Sovereign Celestial Body breathed in and out, there was a
mist shrouding it, filled with Spiritual Energy.

At this moment, Mu Chen realised the power of Sovereign Celestial Bodies.

It was a mountainous power.

If he didn’t have the trump card as a Spiritual Array Master when he fought with
Liu Ming, it would definitely be a tough matter for him to defeat the latter.

After all, the Heavenly Flames Celestial Body that Liu Ming had cultivated was very
powerful.

However, Mu Chen had strong confidence right now that he could directly blow the
Heavenly Flames Celestial Body away.

Although he didn’t know what rank the Great Solar Undying Body was equivalent to,
it was definitely several times more powerful than the Heavenly Flames Celestial
Body.

Buzz.

The golden Sovereign Celestial Body emitted a faint buzzing noise, and as the
golden light surged, the massive figure started to rapidly shrink.

In just a few breath’s time, a slendersilhouette stood in the sky.

It was naturally Mu Chen that had appeared.

He lowered his head and looked at both of his arms.

His face was filled with unconcealable joy.

Evidently, the power of the Great Solar Undying Body had left him satisfied.

All these years of yearning had not left him disappointed.

After refining the Great Solar Undying Body successfully, he had finally become a
genuine First Grade Sovereign! Right now, he had some expectation of the
competition of the Greatlaw Goldpond.

He wished to use the power of the Greatlaw Goldpond to make his Great Solar Undying
Body even more perfect.
… When the Great Solar Undying Body disappeared, there were several gazes from the
depths of the Greatlaw Sky that abruptly shifted towards the Nine Nether Palace.

“Such ripples… what is Nine Nether that lass doing?”Among the several gazes, one of
them was naturally Sky Vulture Emperor of the three Emperors.

He was looking at the direction of the Nine Nether Palace with slight shock.

Although Nine Nether had swiftly formed a Spiritual Energy screen to isolate Mu
Chen’s Sovereign Celestial Body, an expert of Sky Vulture Emperor’s level could
still vaguely sense it.

Although he wasn’t too sure in such a short amount of time, he could detect the
sudden violent, abnormal fluctuations of Spiritual Energies.

Another gaze belonged to the Spiritual Pupils Emperor.

Both of his eyes were narrowed.

There were faint fluctuations on the space before his eyes.

His gaze seemed like it had pierced through space and was directly at the Nine
Nether Palace.

However, since Mu Chen had already recovered at this moment, there was only the
golden light that still had yet to dissipate, revealing the abnormal Spiritual
Energy ripples.

Spiritual Pupils Emperor retracted his gaze with a calm expression as he slowly
shut his eyes.

With his mystical eyes, he found out that the abnormal fluctuations from earlier
should be caused by that youth called Mu Chen.

However, he did not pay too much attention as a youth that had just stepped into
the Sovereign Realm was still insufficient to make him attach him with importance.

When they retracted their gazes, the drowsy man had abruptly opened his eyes in the
depths of a pavilion.

His face, which had always been lazy, revealed a smear of a shock for the first
time.

“What a powerful Sovereign Celestial Body…”He softly muttered.

…“Congratulations, you have finally achieved what you have wished.

”Although she had managed to create the Spiritual Energy screen in time, Nine
Nether didn’t know if the three peak experts of the Great Havenlaw domain had
noticed the commotion at this location.

Her figure moved as she appeared before Mu Chen, her gaze filled with smiles.

She naturally knew how long Mu Chen had prepared just for this day.

Mu Chen laughed, “What rank do you think this Great Solar Undying Body of mine
belongs to in the 99 Rankings of Sovereign Celestial Bodies?”Hearing his words,
Nine Nether briefly pondered, before she said, “Hard to say, I have yet to
experience the power of it.

Furthermore, many powerful Sovereign Celestial Bodies possess special abilities.

But, based on the power from earlier, this Great Solar Undying Body could rank at
least in the fifties.

”“Only in the fifties?” Mu Chen was a little unsatisfied with the estimation.

No matter what, the Great Solar Undying Body was one of the crucial prerequisites
to the Primordial Immortal Body, which was ranked 4 on the 99 Rankings of Sovereign
Celestial Bodies!“Don’t be unsatisfied, a Sovereign Celestial Body that is ranked
in the fifties is an absolute treasure for a force like the Great Havenlaw Domain.

Not to mention an ordinary person, even Sovereign experts that have reached Seventh
and Eighth Grade Sovereign would have their hearts moved by it and be willing to
become an Elder just to cultivate it.

” Nine Nether rolled her eyes at Mu Chen.

Did this fellow think that a Sovereign Celestial Body that is ranked in the fifties
is something he could get on the streets?Mu Chen rubbed his nose, since it did make
sense after putting some thought into it.

Even the Young Palace Master of the Sky Profound Palace, Liu Ming, could only
cultivate the Heavenly Flames Celestial Body that was the 97th rank.

However, he could sense that there seemed to be many profundities in this Great
Solar Undying Body.

Right now, he had just successfully cultivated it, so he couldn’t fully execute all
of its powers.

Otherwise, Nine Nether would definitely not rank it amongst the fifties.

Nine Nether waved her hand, dissipating the Spiritual Energy screen.

Two streaks of light flew over from the distance and appeared before them, it was
Tang Bing and Tang Rou.

The glances that those two gave to look at Mu Chen had slight astonishment in them.

Compared to a month ago, the current Spiritual Energy that was being emitted from
Mu Chen’s body was much more powerful.

“Looks like you have succeeded your refinery of the Sovereign Celestial Body?” Tang
Bing exclaimed in shock.

Mu Chen nodded his head with a smile as he looked at Tang Bing with some shock as
well.

“You have broken through?”Compared to a month ago, the Spiritual Energy

fluctuations around Tang Bing was much more powerful.

Evidently, she had achieved a breakthrough in this one month’s time and stepped
into the Sovereign Realm.

“I have to thank you for those drops of Spiritual Sovereign Liquid.

” Tang Bing was also pretty happy about her breakthrough to the Sovereign Realm.

Tang Bing, who usually had a cold expression on, revealed a charming smile at this
moment.

Mu Chen smiled as he flicked his finger.

A streak of light flew over to Tang Bing.

The latter hastily received it.

There was a scarlet scroll within the ray of light.

“This is the cultivation technique for the Heavenly Flames Celestial Body, I
believe it will be useful for you.

” Mu Chen smiled.

When he seized the Mustard Seed Bracelet from Liu Ming, he had found the
cultivation method for the Heavenly Flames Celestial Body within.

Although the Heavenly Flames Celestial Body wasn’t something that he would have his
eyes on, it was, after all, a ranked Sovereign Celestial Body that could cause
ordinary Sovereign experts to be tempted.

Thus, it was a fitting gift for Tang Bing.

Hearing that it was actually the 97th rank of the 99 Rankings of Sovereign
Celestial Bodies, Tang Bing was stunned, before she shook her head shortly after.

“This gift is too expensive.

I cannot accept this.

”After all, not just anyone could obtain the opportunity to cultivate the Heavenly
Flames Celestial Body.

Originally, Tang Bing had intended to refine an ordinary Sovereign Celestial Body
for now and change to a more powerful one when she grew stronger in the future.

However, she never expected for Mu Chen to gift her a ranked Sovereign Celestial
Body.

“Haha, Mu Chen, are you trying to woo my big sister? You’re truly willing to part
with things.

First the Sovereign Spiritual Liquid and now the Sovereign Celestial Body.

” Tang Rou smiled from the side.

“Damn lass! I will tear your mouth apart!” Tang Bing’s face flushed red as she
gritted her teeth and pretended to be angry.

Tang Rou chuckled as she hid behind Nine Nether.

But Tang Bing didn’t know how to act after being messed around with by Tang Rou.

She held onto the scarlet scroll and didn’t know if she was to accept or return it.
At this instance, she could only stomp her feet with hatred.

“Okay, enough.

” Nine Nether chuckled as she held onto Tang Bing’s slim waist and laughed.

“You should accept it first.

Right now, you really are in need of a suitable Sovereign Celestial Body for
yourself.

”Hearing Nine Nether’s words, Tang Bing nodded her head, before she said to Mu
Chen, “Thank you, I will definitely return this favour.

”Just when Mu Chen was about to wave his hand, he saw how serious the expression of
the girl before him was.

This girl naturally had her own principles.

Thus, he could only smile and nod his head.

“Xiao Bing’er, how is the current strength of our Nine Nether Palace?” Nine Nether
suddenly asked.

“Big Sister is talking about the Nine Nether Troop?”Tang Bing saw Nine Nether
nodding her head, before giving a smile.

“Rest assured, I have not loosened up for all these years when Big Sister left.

Our Nine Nether Troop is even more powerful compared to when you left.

”Nine Nether nodded her head with gratification.

“Right now, Mu Chen is the Domain Lord of our Nine Nether Palace.

According to the rules, he will have to lead the Nine Nether Troop, what do you all
think about it?”The Nine Nether Troop was, after all, managed by Tang Bing for all
these years.

Now that Mu Chen was to become the Domain Lord, she naturally had to obtain the
approval of Tang Bing.

Hearing her words, Tang Bing nodded her head without the slightest hesitation.

“No problem.

”She suddenly paused her words and chuckled while looking at Mu Chen.

“But there are many experts among the Nine Nether Troop with some untamable horses.

I’m just afraid that Mu Chen can’t tame them.

”Initially, he was about to reject this matter to prevent Tang Bing from being
unsatisfied with him putting a hand in her affairs.

But when Mu Chen heard her words, his brows lightly lifted and there was some
interest in his voice.

“I’ll have to give it a try, then.

”
Chapter 678 - Commanding the Nine Nether Troop The strength dividing of the Great
Havenlaw Domain was extremely peculiar.

Aside from those wielding troops themselves, every single King force had their own
troops.

And if those King forces wished to obtain more territory, they would have to seize
and devour other ones with their own troops.

Thus, every single King force would put great development to their troops,
strengthening them.

Taking the Asura Troop of the Asura Palace, Mountain Splitting Army of the Mountain
Splitting Hall, and Blood Hawk Hall’s Blood Hawk Army for example…Naturally,
although those troops were powerful, everyone knew that the most fearsome that was
publicly known would be the direct army of the Great Havenlaw Domain, the Great
Havenlaw Army.

However, that army wasn’t controlled by anyone as it belonged to the deep and
unfathomable Sleeping Emperor and also that mysterious Domain Ruler.

As for the Nine Nether Troop, it was an army of the Nine Nether Palace.

But, due to Nine Nether leaving for so many years and in addition to her being no
good at managing her army, the Nine Nether Troop was the weakest amongst the Nine
Kings when she left.

But fortunately, Tang Bing managed it when she wasn’t present and allowed the Nine
Nether Troop to be strengthened instead.

Although it still couldn’t be compared to the Asura Troop, who had sufficient
resources, it was much stronger compared to before.

Nine Nether Palace, Training FieldThe vast training field was filled with countless
black figures, all of them donned in black armour, standing quietly.

They were like boulders without any movements, their breathing was united.

As they breathed, it was like thunder and lightning, the imposing manner was
extremely fearsome.

Several steaks of light flew over and appeared right before them.

It was Nine Nether, Mu Chen, and the sisters Tang Bing and Tang Rou.

“We greet the Palace Master!”When Nine Nether appeared, the thousand boulder-like
figures respectfully bowed with their fists against their chests.

An orderly voice rang out like lightning.

Mu Chen stood on the highest platform as he looked at this army that was like a
patch of thunderclouds.

Shock flashed across his eyes as well.

This was a genuine army.

Their breathing was one as the Spiritual Energies shrouded around them.

There wasn’t any rejection from their convergence.

This was clearly something that could only be achieved with months of working
together.

“The Nine Nether Palace has always maintained a scale of a thousand people.

We have chosen an elimination method, the last hundred in every year’s test would
be eliminated, while the rest would become the power of the Nine Nether Palace,
ultimately displaying the force of the newcomers.

” Tang Bing lightly smiled.

Mu Chen was slightly astonished as he sighed in his heart about how formidable this
girl was.

She had completely given up the advantage of numbers and chose quality with such a
cruel elimination rate.

But this was also the reason why the Nine Nether Troop was so refined, all of them
had reached the level of the Three Sovereign Disasters, several figures that stood
in the front even showed vague signs of breaking through to the Sovereign Realm.

Facing this army.

If they were to attack all together, even Mu Chen, who had refined the Great Solar
Undying Body, would not be able to dodge their sharpness.

“Pretty good.

” Nine Nether praised.

Looks like it was a wise thing to hand the Nine Nether Troop over to Tang Bing.

“Actually, this was only something that we managed to achieve with the Sovereign
Spiritual Liquid we had.

” Tang Bing helplessly smiled.

She wished to expand the Nine Nether Troop as well, but there was a limit to the
amount of Sovereign Spiritual Liquids that the Nine Nether Palace could obtain in a
year.

If they were to forcefully expand, it might hurt the foundation of the Nine Nether
Palace.

“You have done well.

” Nine Nether patted Tang Bing’s shoulder.

Dor all these years, Tang Bing had even forked over her share of Sovereign
Spiritual Liquid and gave them to the Nine Nether Palace.

Her contributions made even Nine Nether feel a little guilty.

“It’s nothing.
” Tang Bing lightly smiled as she looked at the Nine Nether Troop.

Her voice gradually turned cold and awed, “From today onwards, Mu Chen will become
the Domain Lord of the Nine Nether Palace.

”As she spoke, there were soft voices coming from the boulder-like Nine Nether
Troop.

Their gazes fell onto the figure of the youth on the platform as they turned
silent.

Silence at this sort of time was a clear representation their refusal.

“You guys have an opinion about it?” Tang Bing’s brows slightly lifted as she said
with indifference.

“Commander Tang Bing, no one would have a single comment if you were the one
leading our Nine Nether Troop.

” Standing at the front of the Nine Nether Palace, there was a voice that
resounded, it was a man with a robust build.

He was donning black armour and had a spear in his hand.

His expression was firm.

“We all know about the difficulties the Nine Nether Palace has been through for all
these years and you have forsaken your share of Sovereign Spiritual Liquid to our
Nine Nether Troop.

So we respect you.

If those words from earlier was an order, we would definitely follow, but I’m
afraid that some brothers would be unhappy.

”Mu Chen’s gaze fell onto the robust man with a smear of surprise flashing across
his eyes.

He realised that the strength of that man had reached First Grade Sovereign Realm,
except judging from the fluctuations of Spiritual Energy around him, he had yet to
refine his Sovereign Celestial Body.

That strength made Mu Chen somewhat startled, since he never expected that there
would be Sovereign experts amongst the Nine Nether Troop.

Mu Chen swept his gaze around and realised that there were two figures quietly
standing beside that robust man.

The fluctuations of Spiritual Energies around them weren’t any weaker than him.

Three Sovereign Realm experts.

“Those three are the strongest among our Nine Nether Troop.

Their prestige is also the highest.

Initially, they all had the hope of becoming a Domain Lord…” Tang Rou stood beside
Mu Chen as she introduced them.
“Qiu Shan is the name of the person that spoke out.

The one on his left is Bei Mo, while the one on his right is Lan Hai.

”“They were originally independent cultivators, but had offended a sect and were
hunted by them.

They were fortunate to be saved by us and joined the Nine Nether Troop.

For all of these years, they have been loyal and never left despite the high price
offered by the Blood Hawk Hall.

” Tang Bing explained.

Mu Chen lightly nodded his head, joining the Nine Nether Troop was a pretty good
outcome for ordinary independent cultivators.

At the very least, they could receive free Sovereign Spiritual Liquid.

But Mu Chen was a little startled that they could resist the bribery from the Blood
Hawk Hall.

Looks like these three know how to be grateful.

“If you want the Nine Nether Troop to be yours, you’ll have to depend on yourself
next.

” Tang Bing said softly.

She could forcefully get the Nine Nether Troop to follow orders but the Nine Nether
Troop would definitely be unsatisfied that way, and birth other thoughts in their
hearts.

Thus, it was up to Mu Chen to try and tame those untamable horses.

Mu Chen smiled as he took a step forth, his figure flashed and appeared within the
Training Field.

“You guys will not obey me?” Mu Chen looked at the three figures that stood at the
front.

The three did not speak, but there wasn’t any respect in the gazes that they threw
over.

They saw through Mu Chen’s strength, he was a First Grade Sovereign.

Perhaps he might be a little stronger than them, but it was far from enough for
them to be convinced.

“Come together, at least let me know if you guys have the qualifications to express
your unwillingness.

” Mu Chen spoke with a calm voice.

Rage rose from the eyes of the three men as one of them said in a heavy voice, “We
have yet to refine our Sovereign Celestial Bodies.

”The meaning behind their words was that it was impossible for them to be convinced
if Mu Chen was trying to suppress them with his Sovereign Celestial Body.
“I will not be using it.

” Mu Chen said in a calm manner.

“Okay!”The gazes of the three men grew sharp.

There wasn’t any hesitation when the three of them took a step forth, mysteriously
appearing around Mu Chen.

Their palms were like lightning, targeted Mu Chen’s vitals.

The three of them displayed their tacit understandings from their cooperation.

Boundless Spiritual Energies rumbled like thunder beneath the three men.

Mu Chen’s figure did not move as he abruptly clenched his fist.

His skin was swiftly turning silver as deep roars of thunder rumbled from his
bones.

He did not move when facing the swift attacks of the three.

Boom!The palms of those three heavily landed against Mu Chen as astonishingly

violent Spiritual Energies exploded.

The earth beneath instantly crumbled and cracked, creating a large ravine.

Visible ripples could be seen on the surface of Mu Chen’s body, his figure as
brilliant as silver.

Even his pupils had turned silver with lightning flowing on the surface of his
body, making him look like a lightning god that had descended.

The expressions of the Qiu Shan trio couldn't help changing as they felt that
beneath their palms, it was like a boulder that had been refined by lightning time
and time again, being indestructible.

“What a powerful physical body!”The hearts of those three flashed with shock.

They had refined their physical bodies in the past.

But compared to Mu Chen’s, the gap was simply too great.

“Retreat!”Lightning exploded from Mu Chen’s silver pupils, rays of lighting spread

out as a force of dreadful Spiritual Energy wreaked havoc.

The bodies of the Qiu Shan trio jolted as they flew back in a miserable manner,
leaving behind deep marks on the ground beneath their feet.

Deep whispers came from the Nine Nether Palace in an instant as well.

Many people had shock in their eyes, since they didn’t expect that the cooperation
between the Qiu Shan trio couldn’t even move the youth before them in the
slightest.

“How formidable.

” Tang Rou exclaimed with her eyes filled with shock.

Tang Bing lightly nodded her head as she looked at the slender figure standing
before the Nine Nether Troop.

That figure seemed to possess a heart-shocking manner that made it hard for others
to shift their gazes away.

That youth seems to possess a unique charm, no wonder Big Sister Nine Nether
regards him with great importance.

“Come again if you guys are still unconvinced.

” Mu Chen’s eyes were indifferent as he stared at the trio.

The trio bitterly smiled upon hearing Mu Chen’s words and they shook their heads in
dejection.

The gap was too great.

They couldn’t do a thing to Mu Chen’s physical body, even with the three of them
together.

This fight wasn’t on the same level.

Looking at their reactions, the silver light on the surface of Mu Chen’s body
gradually faded away.

As the silver light faded, the lightning runes on his chest beneath his clothes
were also silently fading away.

Counting them, there were actually ten runes.

Unknowingly, Mu Chen had achieved great success with his Lightning God’s Physique.

It’s no wonder why he dared to withstand an attack of those three with the strength
of his physical body.

“Domain Lord Mu Chen.

”The trio took a step back as they called out in deep voices with their hands
cupped together.

Under Mu Chen’s strength, they had no other choice but to be convinced.

Chapter 679 - Submi t“We greet Domain Lord Mu Chen!”When the trio had no other
choice but to be convinced, the Nine Nether Troop lowered their heads as orderly
thunderous voices rang across the field.

Mu Chen calmly looked at the army that seemed like thunderclouds and shifted his
gaze onto Qiu Shan and the other two.

“You guys are the Seniors of the Nine Nether Troop.

After all these years, you guys have not left when the Nine Nether Troop was at the
toughest moment.

As the new Domain Lord, I will naturally reward and punish fairly.
”As he spoke, he paused for a brief moment.

After looking at the astonished gazes of Qiu Shan and the other two, he continued
his speech, “This is the refining method of the Heavenly Flames Celestial Body, I
will pass it to the three of you in the future.

”“Heavenly Flames Celestial Body?”Qiu Shan and the other two had their faces
changed as they looked at Mu Chen with disbelief.

“The Heavenly Flames Celestial Body that is the 97th ranking?”Not only them, even
the Nine Nether Troop broke into a commotion.

They had naturally heard of the Heavenly Flames Celestial Body.

At this moment, their eyes were burning with fire.

Although the Heavenly Flames Celestial Body was ranked towards the rear, it was
still a ranked Sovereign Celestial Body.

It was many times stronger than those unranked Sovereign Celestial Bodies.

Even in the Great Havenlaw Domain, a Sovereign Celestial Body of such a level
wasn’t something that just anyone could cultivate.

But, right now, Mu Chen was using it as a reward, this hand of his wasn’t small.

“Thank you, Domain Lord!”Under the temptation of the Heavenly Flames Celestial
Body, the faces of the Qiu Shan trio turned excited as they cupped their hands and
spoke with respect.

The dissatisfaction that they had in their hearts was also removed.

After all, someone that could casually take out the Heavenly Flames Celestial Body
as a reward, despite his age, his temperament wasn’t something that they could
compare to.

Mu Chen waved his hand and swept his gaze across the field.

“In the future, as long as there is sufficient contributions, not only can you
obtain sufficient amounts of Sovereign Spiritual Liquids to break through to the
Sovereign Realm, after a successful breakthrough, you will also obtain the
opportunity to use the cultivation method of the Heavenly Flames Celestial Body.

Of course, whether you can succeed in refining it will depend on yourself.

”Rustle.

Another commotion broke out amongst the Nine Nether Troop.

Many people had heated gazes as they licked their lips.

They knew about the situation the Nine Nether Palace was in for all these years, so
they had been frugal with using Sovereign Spiritual Liquid.

Although no one said a word, anyone would wish that they could obtain more
Sovereign Spiritual Liquids to quicken their cultivating speed.

Furthermore, breaking through to the Sovereign Realm required a large amount of

Sovereign Spiritual Liquid, so they needed to prepare for a long time.
But Mu Chen’s words had resolved their greatest worries, not to mention that there
was still the temptation of the Heavenly Flames Celestial Body.

“But, our Nine Nether Palace had been resting ourselves, how will we get battle
contributions?” There were some keen people in the Nine Nether Palace that spoke
out in soft tones.

Everyone recovered as they nodded their heads.

For all these years, their Nine Nether Troop had not gone out to battle.

Although their territories were seized, there was no leader in their Nine Nether
Palace, so they did not dare to act out.

“That was the past.

”Mu Chen said indifferently, “In the future, we will take back what is ours.

If anyone dares to bully us, you are allowed to act.

Since we will no longer have anymore easy days, if you are unsatisfied, you can
leave the Nine Nether Troop.

In the future, the Nine Nether Troop will become the sharpest spear of the Nine
Nether Palace and face any enemy.

”Although his speech was calm, it made everyone in the Nine Nether Troop stunned.

Thereafter, their bodies trembled with excitement, some people even had their eyes
turning red.

It had been too tough for them for all these years.

Among the Great Havenlaw Domain, their Nine Nether Troop had the lowest standing.

No matter where they went, they would attract disdainful gazes.

Some vicious people even called their Nine Nether Palace a woman’s palace, their
Nine Nether Troop a woman’s troop.

However, for all these years, the Nine Nether Palace had chosen to endure all sorts
of provocations.

In the end, they even had to offer the qualifications for the Greatlaw Goldpond
with their own hands.

As time passed, they became numb to it.

So when they heard Mu Chen’s words, it lit up the fire in their hearts.

At this moment, tidal waves swept in their hearts and they could no longer control
themselves.

“We will follow the orders of Domain Lord!”Every single member of the Nine Nether
Troop straightened their bodies as they roared at once, their voices were like the
explosions of thunder.

Up on the stage, Tang Bing couldn’t help nibbling on her rosy lips, her gaze
staring at that slender silhouette.

No matter how strong she showed, she was not a man, thus lacked the hot-blooded
nature that a man had deep down in his bones.

Although the Nine Nether Troop respected her, it was hard for their hearts to sweep
with waves like right now.

“How is it?” Nine Nether asked, smiling.

Tang Bing gently nodded her head as she faintly laughed, “Big Sister Nine Nether
has good eyesight.

Mu Chen is so much better than Cao Feng.

”Her words paused as she lightly pouted and showed a rare young and ignorant look
that a girl should have.

“That fellow is too generous.

How am I going to take out so much Sovereign Spiritual Liquid?”Tang Bing was the
housekeeper of the Nine Nether Palace.

Every single drop of Sovereign Spiritual Liquid was under her control.

In the past, her hands were tight as they passed their days, how can she be like Mu
Chen, who spoke so grandly about providing sufficient Sovereign Spiritual Liquids
to break through the Sovereign Realm.

“He’s trying to nurture battle with battle.

” Nine Nether lazily stretched her waist as a chill flashed across her slender
eyes.

“Just as Mu Chen has said before, the Nine Nether Palace will be changing its ways
from tomorrow onwards.

We will retrieve those things that belonged to us.

”Tang Bing silently nodded her head, she had a little expectation in her heart.

She naturally hoped to see a Nine Nether Palace filled with vigorous and hot-
blooded individuals, letting enemies feel their fearsome revenge.

During all these years, the Nine Nether Palace had suffered all sorts of
oppression.

It wasn’t that she wasn’t angry in her heart, but the situation was stronger than
people.

Blood Hawk King was trying to force them to make the wrong move, so that he would
have an excuse to disband their Nine Nether Palace.

So, even if she had to endure the sufferings, she definitely wouldn’t give their
opponent a chance.

Mu Chen was somewhat satisfied from the grandeur displayed by the Nine Nether
Palace and nodded his head.
He no longer spoke as he turned around and returned to the platform.

He knew that he had already thoroughly gotten the acknowledgment of the entire Nine
Nether Troop.

“Never thought that this radish on a stick method of yours would be pretty skilled.

” Nine Nether smiled as she looked at Mu Chen.

Mu Chen smiled in response.

This method of his wasn’t something new, but it was the most effective.

“The Nine Nether Troop is pretty good.

” Mu Chen praised.

He was very satisfied with the Nine Nether Troop.

Be it the grandeur or strength, this Nine Nether Troop wasn’t weak.

There was only one flaw, there were too little members.

However, the potential was very big.

“That’s for sure.

” Tang Bing smiled, a trace of unconcealable pride in her eyes.

For all these years, she had put all her heart into it.

Otherwise, how could the Nine Nether Palace that had lost Nine Nether last until
her return?“You have worked hard Big Sister Tang Bing.

” Mu Chen said softly.

After losing Nine Nether, Tang Bing had contributed a lot and was able to train the
Nine Nether Troop to this level, while enduring all sorts of provocations.

It was indeed uneasy for a girl like her to achieve this much.

No wonder she was well-respected by the Nine Nether Troop, even the Qiu Shan trio
was the same.

Mu Chen could tell that if they had revere for Nine Nether, then what they had for
Tang Bing was genuine respect.

Tang Bing was slightly stunned.

She looked at the smiling face before her and the soft spot of her heart seemed to
be bumped.

Her nose was a little sour.

She had never spoken about her grievances for all these years, but that didn’t mean
that there weren't any.

After losing Nine Nether, the Nine Nether Palace needed someone to hold it up, and
she was that example.
So she could only put up a cold front as she worked hard and persevere till the
return of Nine Nether.

“Rest assured, Big Sister Tang Bing.

I will trash those that dared to come provoke the Nine Nether Palace to the point
that their parents will not recognize them in the future.

” Mu Chen smiled.

The smile on his face was radiant and warm right now, causing Tang Bing’s face to
turn slightly red.

It was rare that there wasn’t any of the cold front that she usually had as she
gently nodded her head.

“But don’t speak those words for the sake of speaking them, you have to consider
the large amount of Sovereign Spiritual Liquids required for the Nine Nether Troop.

That large amount isn’t sufficient, even if we sell you away.

” Tang Bing’s expression swiftly returned to normal as she looked at Mu Chen and
laughed.

Mu Chen nodded his head, that was indeed a problem.

Right now, the territories under the Nine Nether Palace were completely seized.

The amount of Sovereign Spiritual Liquid couldn’t last a long time.

So they still had to depend on themselves to last long.

“We can only depend on you regarding this matter, but I will keep my eyes on Blood
Hawk King.

” Nine Nether lightly smiled.

According to the rules of the Great Havenlaw Domain, no King could take direct
actions.

Every single competition could only be depended on their subordinates.

Furthermore, the reason why Blood Hawk King wasn’t afraid of them was because he
didn’t believe that the Nine Nether Palace could win against his Blood Hawk Hall
with the little number of people they had.

Mu Chen nodded his head as he stretched his waist.

His gaze was shot towards the distance and grew a little sharp, “After the
competition for the Greatlaw Goldpond, we will start taking back what's ours.

“How’s your preparation?” Tang Bing was curious as she asked.

After all, this was the first time in recent years that their Nine Nether Palace
would be participating in the Greatlaw Goldpond, so the other forces would be
paying attention to them.

“Everything is as planned.
”Mu Chen let out a light smile as his brilliant eyes became filled with the
splendor of self-confidence.

He had already refined the Great Solar Undying Body, thus no longer afraid of any
opponent of the same level.

But, this battle was extremely important for him and the Nine Nether Palace, so he
couldn’t afford to treat it lightly.

Mu Chen lightly rubbed his Mustard Seed Bracelet and suddenly recalled the Nine
Dragons and Elephants Art that he had obtained from Liu Ming.

Chapter 680 - The Bizarre Nine Dragons and Elephants Ar tMu 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!
Chapter 681 - Goldpond Peak On the mountain peak, Mu Chen’s eyes, which were
tightly shut, abruptly opened.

One of his eyes was filled with purple flames, while the other one was flickering
with black lightning, looking exceptionally mysterious and bizarre.

He abruptly stood up and waved his hand.

Two streaks of light swiftly flew from his palm at lightning speed, turning into a
massive purple dragon and a black lightning elephant that could be seen from the
horizon.

The two colossal figures hovered over the horizon as they caused the Spiritual
Energy fluctuations of this region to intensely boil.

“Dragon and elephant converge!”Mu Chen formed seals with both if hands as the
roaring of a dragon and the howling of an elephant resounded across the horizon.

The two colossal figures flew out.

They were like meteors that streaked across the horizon and collided.

Boom!The horrifying Spiritual Energy shock waves wreaked havoc.

The two attributes heavily clashed together, causing space to distort.

Purple flames and black lightning violently wriggled as a light disc that was
roughly a foot in size slowly formed.

The light disc was split into purple and black with a purple dragon and a black
elephant on it.

It was like divine dragon and elephant pearl with two forces of dreadful energy
converged together, causing astonishing changes.

Crack.

Space seemed like it could not endure this energy as fine cracks started to spread…
Mu Chen’s face also turned grave at this moment as that energy seemed to have gone
beyond his control.

This Nine Dragons and Elephants Art was genuinely fearsome.

Violently energy throbbed on the dragon and elephant light disc, showing signs of
crumbling apart.

Whoosh!The throbbing frequency increased on the dragon and elephant light disc and
emitted a buzzing noise at the end.

Watching the situation, Mu Chen immediately flicked his finger out as the dragon
and elephant light disc turned into a violent streak of light that flew towards the
distance.

“Uhh…”Mu Chen had just thrown the dragon and elephant light disc that had gone
beyond his control, and the corner of his lips twitched, realising that it was
directed at the Nine Nether Palace… The ray of light streaked across the horizon as
it swiftly descended towards the Nine Nether Palace.

Rustle!A streak of light shot out from the Nine Nether Palace, appearing over the
horizon.

The one that appeared was Nine Nether, she was also a little startled when she saw
the incoming attack.

Shortly after, there was anger and a smile on her face when she saw the origin of
the attack.

“That fellow.

”Nine Nether grumbled as she stretched her hand out.

Shortly after, boundless Spiritual Energy swept out, forming into vast wings of
light.

The wings folded together like a shield to protect her.

Boom!The dragon and elephant light disc violently clashed against the wings of
light.

In an instant, dreadful Spiritual Energy shock waves wreaked havoc.

Looking from afar, they were like massive fireworks.

Everyone in the Nine Nether Palace had also raised their heads in shock after
watching this scene.
The Spiritual Energy shock wave caused by the explosion of the dragon and elephant
light disc was entirely warded off by the wings of light.

However, as the shock wave was dissipating, the wings of light also started to
crumble, along with an astonished expression written on Nine Nether’s beautiful
face.

A single layer of her defence was actually destroyed by Mu Chen’s attack.

Although it was just casually formed, her strength as a Fourth Grade Sovereign was
three grades above Mu Chen.

It was a distance that could not be complemented with any methods so easily.

Nine Nether’s gaze flickered as she strode forth and directly appeared before Mu
Chen, who was on a mountain peak far away.

The latter had an embarrassed expression as he quickly said, “It was a mistake, a
mistake.

”“What was that earlier?” Nine Nether did not blame Mu Chen, but inquired with
curiosity.

“It’s the Nine Dragons and Elephants Art from the auction.

” Mu Chen did not hide it from her as he answered with a smile.

“Oh? You have successfully cultivated it?” Nine Nether’s brows gently twitched as
the shock in her eyes grew more profound.

She had seen that Divine Art scroll before and had no idea about how to cultivate
it.

But right now, Mu Chen had successfully cultivated it?“I just managed to touch the
foothold of it.

” Mu Chen nodded his head.

There was no need to hide anything from Nine Nether and he told her what insight he
had gained from it.

Hearing his words, Nine Nether lightly frowned her brows.

“So it turns out that this Nine Dragons and Elephants Art cannot be directly
executed and requires to be formed in the Sovereign Sea beforehand.

Also… according to what you have just said, the dragon and elephant must be formed
with two powers of two different attributes.

”Mu Chen nodded his head.

That was the most crucial and challenging point.

If it wasn’t for the fact that he had previously cultivated the Lightning God’s
Physique, thus possessing the power of lightning, he might not have successfully
cultivated the Nine Dragons and Elephants Art.

“The power of your lightning energy relies on the Lightning God’s Physique, so I’m
afraid that it will be tough for you to fully cultivate this Nine Dragons and
Elephants Art to great completion with this lightning energy.

” Although Nine Nether had not cultivated the Nine Dragons and Elephants Art, she
was, after all, someone with vast experience as she said after a brief pondering.

Hearing her words, Mu Chen had nodded his head as well with his brows knitted
together.

Right now, he had only completed the initial cultivation of the Nine Dragons and
Elephants Art.

Thus, he could barely support it with the lightning energy of the Lightning God’s
Physique.

However, once his attainments had gone deep within, the lightning energy that he
would require would definitely not be something that this lightning energy could
support.

Nine Dragons and Elephants Art, at the pinnacle, it could form nine dragons and
nine elephants.

Right now, Mu Chen had only just created a single dragon and elephant…“Then, what
should I do?” Mu Chen scratched his head as he said, looking at Nine Nether.

Nine Nether briefly pondered and laughed, “It’s hard to say, but at the same time,
it is also simple to say… Just fuse with another energy with the attribute of
lightning.

”Right now, Mu Chen’s Spiritual Energy was fused with Undying Flames.

As long as he fused with another lightning energy, his Spiritual Energy would
possess two attributes.

Thus, it was perfectly suitable for the Nine Dragons and Elephants Art.

Mu Chen couldn’t help rolling his eyes.

Back then, when he fused with the Undying Flames, he suffered terribly; and right
now, he had to fuse with another energy with a unique attribute.

The danger and toughness of it weren’t merely one plus one, many Sovereign experts
did not dare to fuse with two energies of two different attributes in their
lifetimes.

In an instant, if there were clashes between the two energies, the side effects
would definitely not be small.

“Although it is very tough for others, there’s certain chance of success for you.

After all, you have previously cultivated the Lightning God’s Physique.

Thus, your body and the Spiritual Energy in your body would have some compatibility
towards lightning energy.

So you are only required to fuse with another lightning energy that isn’t any
weaker than the Undying Flames.

You can give it a try.

” Nine Nether said seriously.

“A lightning energy that wasn’t any weaker than the Undying Flames…” Mu Chen
bitterly smiled.

The Undying Flames wasn’t any cabbage out in the street stalls, it wasn’t easy to
find a lightning energy that was comparable to the Undying Flames.

“Since there’s no rush to it, you can slowly search for it.

If you’re fated, you will encounter it.

” Nine Nether lightly patted Mu Chen’s shoulder with her jade-like hand as she
consoled.

Mu Chen nodded his head, this was the only way.

But fortunately, he had no rush for it as the Nine Dragons and Elephants Art was
sufficient for him to slowly probe his way through it.

“In three days, the Greatlaw Goldpond competition will begin.

”Nine Nether looked at Mu Chen with her brilliant eyes as she pursed her lips and
smiled.

“We will depend on your performance for our Nine Nether Palace to get our face
back.

”“I will sincerely comply with the orders of the Palace Master.

” Mu Chen cupped his hands and laughed, his black eyes were flickering with
splendour.

This could be considered as his first battle since his arrival in the Greatlaw
Goldpond.

Right now, in the Great Thousand World, it was similar to back then, when he had
just arrived in the Northern Heavens Spiritual Academy with no fame.

However, he knew that there would be a day where he would stand out amongst the
many monstrous geniuses in the Great Thousand World and fulfil his promise to that
girl he had been missing.

He was waiting for that day with expectations.

The youth raised his head on the mountain peak as he looked at the horizon with a
gentle arc slowly lifted on the corner of his lips.

He was dashing and filled with self-confidence.

Luo Li, wait for me to kill and slaughter for you.

…Three days swiftly passed by in the blink of an eye.

Boom! Boom!When the third sun tore through the dark night and shone on this land,
heavy drum beats slowly rang out across the Great Skylaw.

Those drumbeats were filled with elated fighting intent, causing the Spiritual
Energies in this region to seem agitated.
Countless figures streaked across the horizon as the sharp breaking of wind rang
out between the heavens and earth.

The Greatlaw Goldpond competiton could be considered as a grand occasion in the

Great Havenlaw Domain.

The competition for it would be very intense for the various factions.

Everyone wanted to stand out in this occasion.

To achieve a decent performance, the various factions would send out their
strongest expert.

Hoping to raise the prestige of their factions in the Great Havenlaw Domain.

But, naturally, not to mention how tempting the Greatlaw Goldpond was, the strange
power to make the Sovereign Celestial Body even more perfect was sufficient to make
numerous Sovereign experts drool.

In the depths of the Great Havenlaw Domain stood a majestic mountain peak.

The mountain peak was covered in lush green as golden light radiated from the peak,
being extremely dazzling.

It was the location of the Greatlaw Goldpond.

This mountain peak was known as the Goldpond Peak, a forbidden region in the Great
Havenlaw Domain.

Entry was forbidden during the usual times.

It was only opened during the competition of the Greatlaw Goldpond, where entries
were allowed.

Right now, fighting intent was curling up beneath the Goldpond Peak as boiling
voices soared across the horizon.

A black multitude of people extended towards the end of the lines-of-sight beneath
the mountain, it was a magnificent sight.

Beneath the mountain, there were nine great stone stages.

Those stone stages were vast with killing intent soaring across the skies.

There were eight different factions whose strengths weren’t ordinary that quietly
stood on them, their grandeur was heart-alarming.

The Nine Nether Stone Stage was the last and was empty at the moment, without
anyone on it.

This scene was noticed by many people, but it wasn’t unexpected for them, since
they knew that the spot of the Nine Nether Palace had been empty for all these
years.

So everyone was already used to it.

At least, in the view of many people, the Nine Nether Palace was gone in reality in
the Great Havenlaw Domain.
Boom!Just when many people felt disdain inwardly, there was suddenly an astonishing
killing intent far across the horizon.

A numerable amount of people raised their heads and saw a patch of black clouds
sweeping over and heavily landed on that stone stage.

It was an army of nearly a thousand donned in black armour that quietly stood
without any words coming from them.

Yet the killing intent that was emitted from them genuinely raised sidelong
eyebrows.

Standing before the army was a slender silhouette.

The youth had handsome features as he calmly raised his head.

His gaze looked at the eight other stone stages without any fear in his black
pupils.

Chapter 682 - Competition of the Greatlaw Goldpond That black cloud of an army
stood quietly on the ninth stone stage as the commotion that was initially in this
region weakened a little bit as many gazes had smears of astonishment flashing
across their eyes.

It was because the army before them gave them a feeling that wasn’t any weaker than
other strongest army under the other eight kings.

“This is the Nine Nether Troop of the Nine Nether Palace?”“I never thought that the
Nine Nether Troop would have such an imposing manner.

Isn’t it said that the Nine Nether Troop was the weakest army in the Great Havenlaw
Domain? Judging from this grandeur, it doesn’t seem like it.

”“Yeah, looks like rumours cannot be believed.

This Nine Nether Palace seems low-profiled but is actually concealing their
strength and biding their time.

Rumor has it that the lord of the Nine Nether Palace that had been missing for all
these years had returned.

I’m afraid that the Nine Nether Palace is about to rise.

”“How could it be that easy? Back then, when the Nine Nether King was in the Great
HAvenlaw Domain, there wasn’t that many achievements of the Nine Nether Palace, it
was incomparable to the eight kings.

Now that she has returned, I’m afraid that it will still be tough for her to
compete with the other eight kings.

”“…”Everyone looked at the boulder-like army that didn’t have any movements as some
soft whispers rang out.

The fame of the Nine Nether Palace wasn’t high.

After all, Nine Nether’s strength wasn’t mighty in the past.

Back then, when she became the lord of a palace, it attracted some criticism, but
due to her having the support of the Sky Vulture Emperor and the background of the
Nine Nether Bird Clan, no one said a word on the surface.

But beneath it, there were many questions regarding Nine Nether’s position.

“Who is that youth?” When everyone had their attention on the Nine Nether Troop,
they inevitably swept their gazes at the forefront.

It was a youth with a slender figure and calm expression, which raised some voices
of doubt.

“That young man is the Domain Lord? Looks like this Nine Nether King is still the
same as the past, did she really think that anyone can ascend positions in the
Great Havenlaw Domain?” Some people couldn’t help sneering.

Clearly, they were jealous by the fact that Mu Chen could become a Domain Lord in
the Great Havenlaw Domain at his age.

“Although the age of this Mu Chen isn’t too big, rumour has it that he was already
in the Sovereign Realm.

Two months ago, a Domain Lord under the Blood Hawk King was defeated in a move by
him.

”“Haha, defeating Domain Lord Zhao doesn’t mean anything.

This Nine Nether King seems to wish for Mu Chen to seize the quota of the Goldpond,
it’s unavoidable for him to vie against the Four Great Domain Lords.

Although this Mu Chen does have come capabilities, he isstill a few years too
tender to be on the same level as the Four Great Domain Lords.

” “Yeah… what you have said does make sense.

This time, the Nine Nether King is clearly a little too rash.

I’m afraid that not only will she not gain any brilliance, but she might also lose
her face instead…”“…”Whoosh!After the appearance of the Nine Nether Troop, three
additional light rays flew over and had descended on the throne on the ninth stone
stage, which attracted numerous gazes.

It was a slender and tall figure donned in black armour.

Her battle armour outlined her exquisite and alluring figure.

Her curves were charming as her hair casually fluttered, making her seem valiant
and formidable-looking.

The smooth and round snow-white skin beneath her battle skirt attracted quite a bit
of sneaking glimpses.

Some people even felt their mouths and tongues dry from her pair of legs, not to
mention the owner of those legs who also possessed an explosive figure along with
an elegant appearance.

Clearly, such an outstanding woman, along with her high position, easily raised the
conquering thoughts of others.
That figure was naturally Nine Nether.

She swept her gaze around as she sat on the throne with Tang Bing and Tang Rou
standing on her left and right.

The both of them had the same appearance, but their temperaments were different.

In a moment’s time, it became the location that attracted the most attention.

“Haha, Nine Nether, your Nine Nether Palace has finally come.

I originally thought that your Nine Nether Palace had given up.

If that was the case, you might not have taken the qualification that you have
painstakingly taken back so seriously.

” When Nine Nether appeared, laughter had also resounded as well.

On a stone stage not too far away, Blood Hawk King was smiling as he looked over at
this direction, his laughter was straightforward.

Hearing his words, Nine Nether coldly swept her gaze over at Blood Hawk King and
said with indifference, “I don’t need the Blood Hawk King to worry on the matters
of my Nine Nether Palace.

”Blood Hawk King smiled as his palm gently caressed the armrest with a chill
leaking from his scarlet eyes, making him look rather vicious.

Anyone could sense the strange atmosphere between Nine Nether and the Blood Hawk
King.

The remaining kings also watched from the side with no intentions of getting
involved.

In the Great Havenlaw Domain, the Nine Kings had an important position.

Aside from the Nine Nether Palace, their strength was roughly similar.

So there wasn’t anyone that would be genuinely convinced by the other.

To compete for benefits and resources, they had crossed swords among themselves.

Thus, this sort of war wasn’t unfamiliar.

Naturally, there wouldn’t be anyone that would interfere and get themselves swept
in it for no reason.

Right now, Nine Nether wasn’t the same as the past as her strength even made the
other kings feel fear.

Mu Chen stood before the Nine Nether Troop as he calmly swept his gaze at the
direction of the Blood Hawk Hall.

In the vast stone stage, there was a similar army, but donned in red armour, that
army was shrouded with a ferocious aura.

Clearly, it was an army that was good at battle.

Despite this Blood Hawk King being so domineering, there were experts as many as
clouds as his subordinates.

“Domain Lord Mu, that is the Blood Hawk Troop of the Blood Hawk Hall, controlled by
Wu Tian and Cao Feng together.

For all these years, the cities belonging to our Nine Nether Palace were swept by
the both of them, causing many cities to switch over to the Blood Hawk Hall.

” Behind Mu Chen, Shan Yue said with indignance in his voice.

“That bastard Cao Feng, if it weren’t for Lord Nine Nether, he would have died a
dog’s death.

And now, he’s helping others to deal with our Nine Nether Palace.

If there’s a change, we of the Nine Nether Troop will definitely not let that
scrape off!” Shan Yue gritted his teeth as he spoke.

Clearly, his hatred for Cao Feng’s betrayal had reached the limits.

Mu Chen lightly nodded his head with a calm expression.

Just when he was about to speak, he sensed two cold gazes directed at him.

He lightly lifted his head and saw Wu Tian and Cao Feng, who stood at the forefront
of the Blood Hawk Troop directing their gazes at him.

Their three gazes clashed together as a smear of a savage smile rose on the corner
of Wu Tian’s lips.

Cao Feng’s gaze was cold, filled with dense fighting intent.

In the past, the Nine Nether Troop of the Nine Nether Palace was managed by him.

Right now, Mu Chen’s position was similar to him in the past.

Clearly, Nine Nether intended to have Mu Chen replace him.

Although he had already betrayed and left the Nine Nether Palace, Cao Feng still
felt uneasy.

If Mu Chen did better than him, wouldn’t that mean that he, Cao Feng, was
incomparable to Mu Chen?As a person that was similarly brought in the Great
Havenlaw Domain by Nine Nether, it wasn’t something that Cao Feng could endure with
his tiny breadth of mind.

His character was clearly one that would instead turn his back on others instead of
others turning their back on him.

“If there is a chance, I will try my best to prevent him from leaving the Goldpond
Peak.

” Cao Feng turned his head as he spoke to Wu Tian.

“Haha, looks like you’re rather hateful of that fellow.

” Wu Tian smiled with his eyes narrowed as he pat Cao Feng’s shoulder and
continued, “It is natural to have injuries and death in the Goldpond competition.
It doesn’t matter if one was too heavy with his hand.

But our main objective is to ascend the peak.

As for that fellow, the lord has already said that there will be someone to deal
with him.

I believe that he might not even have the chance to see the Goldpond.

”Hearing his words, Cao Feng smiled with regret.

But that was also for the best.

If that fellow didn’t even have the chance to see the Goldpond, it could clearly
show how incapable he was.

At that time, the Nine Nether Palace would definitely be a laughing stock.

“Domain Lord Mu, you definitely have to be cautious of those two fellows in the
Goldpond competition.

” When Cao Feng and Wu Tian were looking at Mu Chen with ill intentions, Shan Yue
said to Mu Chen in a soft voice.

Mu Chen lightly nodded his head.

He naturally saw gazes similar to a cat looking at mice in Wu Tian and Cao Feng.

Except… the corner of his lips lift up a little, it was still unclear who the cat
and mice were.

A fragrance blew over as Tang Bing slowly paced to Mu Chen’s side.

Her gaze looked around, it was rather charming as she gave Mu Chen a light smile
shortly after.

That smile of hers instantly attracted a large patch of heated gazes.

“Housekeeper Tang, what instructions do you have?” Mu Chen couldn’t help smiling.

Tang Bing rolled her eyes at Mu Chen as she said, “Big Sister Nine Nether got me to
tell you that there are nearly a hundred people in the competition of the Goldpond,
not a single one of them is weak.

”“There’s so many?” Mu Chen spoke out in astonishment, wasn’t it said that the
qualifications were limited?“The three Lords increased the qualification to the
competition of the Goldpond this time.

Those that could participate isn’t only limited to the subordinates of the Nine
Kings, even some subsidiary forces under the Great Havenlaw Domain also have a few
qualifications.

”As she spoke, Tang Bing cast a glance at the direction of the Blood Hawk Hall with
a smear of worry in her eyes.

“But that isn’t good news for you.

According to what I know, some subsidiary forces have good relations with the Blood
Hawk Hall.
To gain the favour of the Blood Hawk Hall, they might obstruct you from approaching
the Goldpond.

”Mu Chen lightly knitted his brows, his strength was, after all, too thin.

Just dealing with Wu Tian and Cao Feng alone would require him to give it his all.

If those fellows were to interfere, it might genuinely spell trouble for him.

That Blood Hawk Hall is indeed hateful.

Seeing Mu Chen knitting his brows, Tang Bing couldn’t help nibbling her lips as she
glanced at the stone stage far away, gritting her teeth and was about to turn
around.

“Big Sister Tang Bing, what you doing?” Mu Chen looked at her in doubt.

“I’m…” Tang Bing’s face flushed red a little as she said in a soft voice, “I’m
going to look for Zhou Yue to have him help you clear those obstacles.

This way, you will be able to save some strength.

”Although she didn’t have any feelings towards Zhou Yue, she could only request his
help at this point in time.

Mu Chen was stunned as he looked at Tang Bing.

Shortly after, he retracted his gaze and said indifferently, “I don’t need Miss
Tang Bing to worry about this.

”Tang Bing’s face slightly changed as she bit her lips and stared at Mu Chen.

She apparently felt the indifference in his voice.

Since they knew each other, this was still the first time she had seen such a
pricking face of Mu Chen.

Right now, his pupils were filled with chill, seeming rather charming.

“*Cough* Domain Lord Mu, Big Sister Tang Bing doesn’t have any other thoughts, she
just wishes for our Nine Nether Palace to achieve a good performance this round, so
that it would look good on Lord Nine Nether.

” Qiu Shan immediately said as he watched.

Although he was much older than the latter, he had great respect for her.

His words paused as he looked at Tang Bing, whose eyes had turned red.

“Big Sister Tang, if you go looking for Zhou Yue, not only will it not look good
for our Nine Nether Palace, I’m afraid that others might also say that Domain Lord
Mu needs a woman to intercede for him in the Goldpond competition… Although we all
know of Domain Lord Mu’s strength, gossip is, after all, a fearful thing.

”Tang Bing’s eyes grew red.

She had always been strong, so she wasn’t willing to show her weak side at this
moment.
Her gaze reddened as she stared at Mu Chen.

“I’m not looking down on you.

Rumour has it that the Blood Hawk King has invited four experts whose strength is
at the pinnacle of First Grade Sovereign Realm to deal with you.

If Wu Tian and Cao Feng was added into the array, even if you are powerful, can you
get through in one piece?”Mu Chen narrowed both his eyes as he looked at Tang Bing,
whose eyes were red but still kept up with a strong front.

His heart softened as the indifferent expression gradually faded as he said in a

soft voice, “Big Sister Tang Bing, rest assured.

If they were to act against me, even if I can’t come out of this Goldpond Peak,
they will all accompany me.

”The youth’s voice was calm and gentle, but there was an ominous aura and
unconcealable self-confidence in his words that was heart-alarming.

He wasn’t arrogant nor was he trying to show off.

Tang Bing looked at Mu Chen with her red eyes.

The calm tone of the youth made her lose her courage to refute.

Thus, she could only bite her rosy lips.

That charming scene made her seem like she was being bullied, it was very lovely.

Hence, Mu Chen quickly felt many enmity gazes directed at him.

Even among the Nine Nether Troop, there were many ill gazes as well.

From this, it can be seen that Tang Bing was very well-received amongst the hearts
of the Nine Nether Palace, far surpassing the importance of him as a Domain Lord.

*Cough.

*Facing more and more ill gazes, Mu Chen dryly coughed as he said in a low voice,
“Don’t be like this, Big Sister Tang Bing.

Rest assured, my bones are tough.

It won’t be easy for me to be beaten to death by others.

”Tang Bing broke into laughter as she swept a glance at Mu Chen.

“I can’t be bothered with you getting beaten to death.

Consider this me being bothersome and asking for trouble.

I deserved to be scolded.

”There was a little resentment in her tone.

This was still the first time that someone had spoken to her in this manner after
all these years.
Finishing her words, Tang Bing turned around and left.

“Big Sister Tang Bing, rest assured.

With me around, no one can harm the reputation of our Nine Nether Palace.

” Mu Chen said with a slight smile.

Tang Bing lightly halted her steps as she snorted, “Speak with your performance.

Otherwise, you can dream on getting a single drop of Sovereign Spiritual Liquid
from me.

”“Then, I’ll have to sincerely comply with the words of the Housekeeper.

” Mu Chen smiled as he cupped his fists.

Tang Bing lightly cast her lips aside, no longer paying any attention to Mu Chen,
and swiftly left.

Mu Chen turned around as well, looking at the stone stage belonging to the Blood
Hawk Hall far away as a chill started to surge in his black pupils.

Since you guys want to play, then let us play.

Chapter 683 - The Battle of Ascension Boom! Boom!When the elated fighting intent in
this region was dense to the limit, a bell had finally rung within this region and
resonated for a long time without dissipating.

Light gathered up in the sky as space distorted with three light figures slowly
revealing themselves.

Judging from the looks of it, they were the three that had the highest position in
the Great Havenlaw Domain.

Sky Vulture Emperor, Spiritual Pupils Emperor, as well as the deep and unfathomable
Sleeping Emperor.

When those three showed themselves, the innumerable figures below bowed as they
saluted with respect.

Even the Nine Kings had their heads slightly lowered.

In this region, only those three Emperors stood with indifference, displaying their
position that was beyond anyone’s reach.

Sky Vulture Emperor waved his hand.

Everyone felt a wave of gentle energy surging over that made everyone straighten
their bodies once again.

“I believe everyone is aware of the Greatlaw Goldpond’s rules, so I will not speak
any further.

No matter what means you guys resort to ascend the peak, no one would care.

Here, only the results matters and not the methods.

”“There will only be four final ones that can enter the Greatlaw Goldpond, it will
depend on your own capability on how you seize it.

”Along with Sky Vulture Emperor’s aging voice slowly ringing out, the atmosphere in
this region suddenly felt chilling, the eyes of many experts gradually turned
sharp.

Those that participated in the competition for the Greatlaw Goldpond were
outstanding geniuses amongst their forces.

No matter what opponents they faced, they would definitely not feel fear so easily.

Thus, the battle for the four quotas would definitely be a cruel competition.

“Time is almost up.

” Spiritual Pupils Emperor had spiritual light flickering in his eyes as he spoke
with indifference.

Sky Vulture Emperor and Spiritual Pupils Emperor exchanged a glance as they shifted
their gazes towards the sleepy man next to them with a smile.

“Brother Meng, let’s open the Goldpond Peak.

”Although they were the three Emperors, the two of them had always been polite with
the Sleeping Emperor that had not been interfering with the matters of the Great
Havenlaw Domain.

They knew that amongst the three of them, the latter was the one that was most
trusted by the Domain Ruler of the Great Havenlaw Domain.

“Okay.

” Sleeping Emperor yawned without any concern for his image as he slowly nodded his
head.

Buzzz.

Three streaks of light shot from the hands of the three Emperors directly into the
Goldpond Peak.

After that, everyone witnessed the space outside the Goldpond Peak gradually
distorting as it gradually cleared up.

Boom!When the Goldpond Peak cleared up, a shapeless and boundless Spiritual Energy
instantly swept out, causing the entire heavens and earth to be mixed with the
colour of gold.

A current of gold flowed down from the majestic mountain, making the Goldpond Peak
seem like it was forged with gold.

“That is the Goldpond current, it is a might that is similar to an impact of a

myriad of waves.

Only those that are in the Sovereign Realm can barely withstand it.

All those that ascend the mountain will have to suffer the impacts of the Goldpond
current before they can claim the peak.
” Qiu Shan explained to Mu Chen.

Mu Chen lightly nodded his head as his expression became a little grave.

Clearly, he had felt how powerful the Goldpond current was.

This Greatlaw Goldpond was indeed weird…Boom!When the Goldpond Peak became radiant
to the limits, the three Emperors up on the horizon waved their hands together.

Space fluctuated as a clear and melodious bell rang out as it resonated across the
horizon.

Everyone’s eyes turned heated at this moment.

“The competition of the Greatlaw Goldpond will begin… now.

”Whoosh! Whoosh!When Sky Vulture Emperor’s indifferent voice rang throughout the
horizon, streaks of powerful Spiritual Energy pillars soared into the sky.

Many rays of light swiftly shot towards the Goldpond Peak at lightning speed.

On the eight stone stages, the various Domain Lords under the eight Kings had all
moved out as well.

In an instant, screechings of wind rang throughout the heavens and earth, causing
even the Spiritual Energy in this region to show signs of boiling.

“Domain Lord Mu, we will depend on you!” Qiu Zhan, Bei Mo and Lan Hai, the three
strongest among the Nine Nether Palace, had cupped their fists at Mu Chen.

For all of these years, their Nine Nether Palace was nearly forgotten by everyone.

This time, they would have to depend on Mu Chen’s performance in the competition of
the Goldpond to see if there was a good opening.

Mu Chen nodded his head with a light smile and spoke no further.

The tip of his foot tapped as he turned into a ray of light and streaked across the
horizon.

In the end, entering the majestic Goldpond Peak under the countless gaze.

Seated on the throne of the stone stage, Nine Nether had her gaze focused on Mu
Chen’s silhouette as her hand gently tightened her grip on the armrest.

She could only depend on Mu Chen’s performance next.

“Big Sister Nine Nether, will Mu Chen be able to obtain the quota for the
Goldpond?” Tang Rou had nervousness written on her face.

They all knew that the competition of the Goldpond this time was extremely
important for the Nine Nether Palace.

“Don’t worry, he will not disappoint us.

” There was a smear of a smile appearing on Nine Nether’s beautiful oval face, she
naturally had a considerable amount of confidence for Mu Chen.
“If he fails, you’ll see how I’ll deal with him.

” Tang Bing stared at that figure with a little hatred in her tone.

Hearing her words, Nine Nether couldn’t help laughing.

Up in the sky, the three Emperors waved their hands.

Space fluctuated as Spiritual Energies converged, forming numerous massive screens

made of Spiritual Energy.

Everyone that had entered the Goldpond peak was reflected on it.

Seated on the nine stone stages, the various Kings had raised their heads, staring
at the screen of spiritual energy with different expressions.

…Boom!Just when Mu Chen’s figure had entered the Goldpond Peak, there was a golden
current flowing over him as he stood on the ground.

Even mountains could be crushed to dust, judging from the surging speed, the
momentum of it was very shocking.

Under that impact, anyone beneath the cultivation of Sovereign Realm would be
crushed to pieces.

The golden current was reflected in Mu Chen’s pupils, but his expression was
somewhat calm.

He flicked his fingers and a Spiritual Energy that was burning with purple flames
swept out.

It was like a waterfall that tore apart the golden current.

Rustle!In that instant when the golden current was torn apart, Mu Chen’s silhouette
had mysteriously charged in along the crack as he swiftly made his way to the peak.

At the same time, there were continuously powerful Spiritual Energy fluctuations
exploding on this majestic mountain.

Everyone that was on the mountain was exploding their strength as they tore apart
the golden current and worked their way to the peak.

Everyone knew that no matter how fast they were in ascending the peak, there was
only four people that could obtain a quota in the end.

Thus, everyone was basically each other’s opponents.

If they wanted to obtain the quota, they would have to decrease the numbers of
competitors.

It was precisely so that the beginning of the ascension of the peak was cruel.

When some people were trying their best to tear apart the golden current and make
their way towards the summit, there were sharp and vicious attacks coming from the
dark that quietly swept over.

Violent Spiritual Energies wreaked havoc on the majestic mountain as light figures
flickered, and killing noises resounded.
Boom!Mu Chen’s foot heavily stepped on a rock, instantly reducing it to dust with
his figure flying out like a light ray.

However, just when he had flown out, there were sharp screeches of wind that rang
out from his rear.

The attack that suddenly arrived did not make Mu Chen panic, he slapped out with
the back of his hand as majestic Spiritual Energy turned into a huge palm that
clashed against the attack coming from the rear.

Boom!The violent Spiritual Energies wreaked havoc as a deep groaning voice came
from his rear, and a figure was sent flying away and was swept into the golden
current.

That figure looked extremely battered as he swiftly retreated and no longer dared
to provoke Mu Chen.

Mu Chen was not aggressive as he casually cast a glance over and swiftly charged
out once again.

In barely ten minutes, he had already suffered nearly ten assaults.

However, those assaults weren’t specially targeted at him, it was just coincidence.

After all, there weren’t any allies amongst those that came here.

If they could find a chance to decrease the number of competitors, who knows, their
chance might increase.

Mu Chen raised his head as he blinked his eyes, staring at the golden current.

Vaguely, he could see ten figures up ahead that were like swimming dragons.

Those could be considered the first group that ascended the Goldpond Peak.

Those figures weren’t easy to deal with, since they possessed utmost strength.

Mu Chen did not directly force his way into the first group, since he knew that
being too eye-catching right now wasn’t a good thing.

Furthermore, due to Tang Bing’s warning, he knew that the Blood Hawk King had
arranged for people to deal with him.

If he wasn’t careful, he might suffer a defeat.

Whoosh!Just as thoughts flowed into Mu Chen’s mind, two figures abruptly

crisscrossed.

One of the people slapped a palm out, the palm had directly tore apart the golden
current as it swiftly landed on the other party’s chest.

Poof!The one that was hit spewed a mouthful of blood as his figure flew back.

His opponent did not chase after him, he only cast his gaze and saw Mu Chen, who
wasn’t far away.

The two exchanged looks as their bodies slightly tensed up.

Mu Chen’s expression was calm, the person before him had a rather ordinary
appearance.

His figure was rather tall and sturdy, as if it was an iron tower.

However, although he had a robust figure, his eyes revealed his cautiousness.

The strength of this person wasn’t ordinary.

Slight astonishment flashed across Mu Chen’s heart as he had sensed a somewhat

decent Spiritual Energy fluctuation coming from the person before him.

Also, what made him even more astonished was that this person wasn’t amongst the
subordinates of the Nine Kings, so he must be from a subsidiary force of the Great
Havenlaw Domain.

That robust man cast a glance at Mu Chen.

Although the latter was slightly young, in regards to age, he felt dense danger
coming from him.

The youth before him might seem calm and gentle, but deep down in his bones, he was
a concealing ferocious tiger that posed a threat.

Thus, the robust man had only nodded his head at Mu Chen in a slightly friendly way
as his figure flew towards another direction.

The meaning behind his actions was clear, everyone minds their own business.

Mu Chen watched as the robust man left and slightly stopped his steps.

A chill gathered in his black pupils as he sensed four chilling fluctuations that
were swiftly approaching.

Those who were sent by the Blood Hawk King to deal with him had finally started to
act.

Chapter 684 - Battling four Sovereigns The golden current flowed down from the
majestic mountain peak, causing the entire heavens and earth to be dyed with
brilliant golden light, which made the Spiritual Energy in this region to be
violently boiling.

On this vast land, Mu Chen’s figure came to a stop, his expression was calm as a
chilling light circulated in his black pupils.

He slowly turned his head over, looking at the surroundings.

His pupils were filled with golden light, even his line-of-sight suffered a little
obstruction.

However, he could still clearly sense the four cold fluctuations quietly pressing
forth, filled with killing intent.

“Since you’re already here, come out, then.

Why hide like mice?”A cold smile hung on the corner of Mu Chen’s lips as his
mocking voice rang out, “It’s already four against one, are you guys perhaps still
trying to preserve some face?”When Mu Chen’s voice rang out, the region was still
quiet.
However, the silence only lasted for ten breaths before the noise of footsteps
resounded.

Four figures slowly walked out from the golden light as they stood not too far away
from Mu Chen.

The four of them wore clothes of a different colour.

The patterns on their sleeves represented that they were from a different force,
which evidently had some relations with the Blood Hawk Hall.

The four of them quietly stood as tremendous amounts of Spiritual Energy pressure
spread out, even the ground beneath them slightly collapsed.

Their cold gazes were fixed on Mu Chen like venomous snakes.

Mu Chen’s black pupils were also focused on the four people.

Judging from the Spiritual Energy fluctuations coming from them, the four of them
were still First Grade Sovereigns, but they had probably achieved the pinnacle of
that realm.

Regarding strength, even amongst the Domain Lords of the Great Havenlaw Domain,
they could be considered as the best.

To deal with him, the Blood Hawk King had spent quite a bit of thought.

Looks like it won’t be easy for me to ascend the peak.

When Mu Chen was obstructed, innumerable gazes from beneath the Goldpond Peak were
also directed at the Spiritual Energy light screen with him in it.

Clearly, they had sensed the situation Mu Chen was facing as well.

When they saw the four people standing before Mu Chen, many people had a smear of
astonishment flashing across their eyes, along with resounding murmurs and
whispers.

“Those four… seem to be the heads of the Four Valleys of Mt Mang.

Judging from this situation, they’re actually going to deal with the new Domain
Lord of the Nine Nether Palace…”“Heh, the Four Valleys of Mt Mang seem to have a
pretty good relationship with the Blood Hawk Hall.

Blood Hawk King is clearly trying to oppress the Nine Nether Palace, not giving
them a single chance.

”“Yeah, those four heads have been in the First Grade Sovereign Realm for a long
time, even among the Domain Lords of the Great Havenlaw Domain, they can be
considered as the best.

If those four join hands, that Mu Chen’s situation might not be too positive.

” “…”Along with many fine murmurs and whispers, there were many gazes directed at
the direction of the Nine Nether Palace.

There were some pity and sympathy in their eyes.

Clearly, there wasn’t any lacking in those that rejoiced from other people’s
misfortune.

Aside from those gazes, there wasn’t any expression written on Nine Nether’s face.

Her pupils were staring at the Spiritual Energy light screen as a chill flowed in
the depths of her eyes.

Beside her, Tang Rou’s face was filled with nervousness, while Tang Bing had
clenched her teeth with her palm filled with sweat.

She naturally understood how dangerous Mu Chen’s current situation was.

“Those are the four heads of the Four Valleys of Mt Mang, those four bastards!”
Tang Bing said as she gritted her teeth.

“Remember them.

” Nine Nether lightly dropped her gaze as she said in a calm voice.

But Tang Bing sensed the anger and killing intent hidden in her words.

Clearly, the Nine Nether King had already hated the Four Valleys of Mt Mang in her
heart.

Tang Bing lightly nodded her head.

If there was an opportunity, she would definitely not let the Four Valleys of Mt
Mang off.

“Big Sister Nine Nether, will Mu Chen be fine?” Tang Rou couldn’t help asking out
of worry.

Although she knew that Mu Chen was capable, the four opponents that he was facing
weren’t easy.

Nine Nether’s slender eyes focused on the Spiritual Energy light screen.

The youth maintained a calm expression, that attitude of his made her smile, since
he was no longer the soft and tender fellow that she could easily scare back
then…“He will emerge victorious.

”Seated on the King Throne, she elegantly crossed her long legs as she lightly
turned her head over.

Her elbow was resting against the armrest, while her hand propped up her cheek.

She pulled her hair back as dense self-confidence circulated in her wild-filled
eyes.

Tang Bing and Tang Rou exchanged a glance.

Although they were unsure why Nine Nether would have such confidence in Mu Chen,
their tensed hearts had also eased up based on their trust for Nine Nether.

…In the empty land, the five silhouettes had already become the focus of attention
of innumerable people.

But they pretended as if they had not seen it, except that the air was filled with
dense killing intent.

The four figures were rather skinny.

There was one that was particularly outstanding.

His skinny frame made him look like a skeleton, but deep in his pupils, there was
an eerie light similar to that of a venomous snake.

“You must be Mu Chen…”He looked at Mu Chen.

His dried-up face pulled a savage smirk as he said in a hoarse voice, “Your steps
stop here, someone does not wish for you to go up.

”A black-clothed man next to him was coldly looking at Mu Chen.

“We do not wish to kill you, since we do not wish to offend the Nine Nether Palace.

However… if you are stubborn, this Goldpond Peak is also a pretty good burial site.

”Looking at the four people before him, Mu Chen slightly lowered his gaze.

“If you guys don’t get lost, you won’t have any more chances to do so.

”When his calm voice rang out, it made the four people before him stunned for a
brief moment, before strange smiles appeared on their faces.

The savageness in their eyes grew even denser.

“What an interesting fellow…”“Then, we’re going to kill?”“Yeah…”The savage smiles

hanging on the four people’s lips grew denser, and in the next instant, the four
figures quietly disappeared.

Whoosh!When they disappeared, space around Mu Chen fluctuated as four figures

mysteriously appeared.

Four dried-up hands that were similar to the hands of the death god swiftly shot at
Mu Chen’s vitals, along with the aura of death.

The four of them were vicious the moment they attacked.

They didn’t have any intentions to fight one-on-one, since they chose to deal with
Mu Chen as swiftly as possible.

Boom!The palms of those four swiftly landed against Mu Chen.

However, when their palms fell on the latter, their dried-up faces slightly
changed.

That’s because their palms passed through Mu Chen’s figure.

“An afterimage?”The eyes of the four Sovereigns narrowed.

Mu Chen’s speed was actually faster than them?!Boom!Heavy thunder abruptly rang out
as a flash of lightning seemed to have streaked across the corner of the four
people’s eyes.

After that, the lightning became even more brilliant as four large palms that
looked to be forged with lightning aiming for the vital spots behind the four
people.

That retaliation was incredibly bizarre.

It was so much so that it even made those four well-experienced Sovereigns to sink
their expressions.

Their sleeves hastily trembled as boundless Spiritual Energy formed into a light
screen behind them.

Boom!The lightning palms exploded the light screen in a single blow.

But in that short moment of obstruction, four figures swiftly flew away as they
dodged the sharp attack.

The four people retreated as their dried-up faces turned a little more grave.

The killing intent in their eyes had also grown denser.

“A pretty quick reaction speed.

”Lightning converged in the sky, forming into Mu Chen’s figure.

Right now, his body was as radiant as silver.

Clearly, he had pushed the Lightning God’s Physique to the limits as he stared at
those four with a weird smile.

After using the Lightning God’s Physique, he had achieved an astonishing speed.

But he never expected that those four would still be able to dodge him.

Looks like their battle senses aren’t weak.

The four Sovereigns held cold gazes as they stared at Mu Chen.

Shortly after, they inhaled deep breaths as their hands formed seals.

In an instant, a visible Spiritual Energy hurricane exploded.

Circles of Spiritual Energy violently fluctuated as four massive light figures

swiftly formed around those four people.

“Dead Tree Celestial Body!”Along with those resounding cold voices, four light
figures swiftly formed around those four people.

They were actually four identical large figures.

Clearly, the four of them had refined the same Sovereign Celestial Body.

Four Sovereign Celestial Bodies stood between the heavens and earth like giants.

The four Sovereign Celestial Bodies were greyish-black in colour.

Looking from afar, they seemed like dead trees that stood in the region, emitting
deathly auras.

As the four Sovereign Celestial Bodies breathed, the Spiritual Energy turned into
gales as they whistled in this region.
That commotion attracted the gazes of every single expert on the Goldpond Peak with
traces of astonishment and graveness in them.

“Since you refuse a toast, then hand over your life!”The four Sovereign Celestial
Bodies shot furious gazes at Mu Chen as eerie voices rang out like thunder in this
region.

Shortly after, four huge palms were sent over, covering the sun as they shrouded
this mountain forest.

Boom!Before the palms even landed, the earth had already started to crumble.

Although the Dead Tree Celestial Body wasn’t amongst the 99 Rankings of Sovereign
Celestial Bodies, the intimidation created when the four Sovereign Celestial Bodies
appeared wasn’t ordinary.

A terrifying Spiritual Energy pressure fell from the sky as Mu Chen’s figure was
sent down to the ground.

He raised his head.

A large greyish-black palm was reflected in his black pupils as a chill appeared on
the corner of his lips.

Mu Chen clenched both his of fists as the space behind him distorted.

His Sovereign Sea appeared with a whistle, causing the temperature in this region
to explosively rise in an instant.

His black pupils had also slowly changed colours.

“You people are still not qualified to take my life!”The youth’s figure was like a
spear as his cold voice rang across the horizon.

Chapter 685 - Thunderous Means Boom!Space violently distorted behind Mu Chen and a
vast Sovereign Sea could be seen whistling within that distorted space.

A tremendous amount of Spiritual Energy swept out as it resisted the enveloping

pressure.

Mu Chen raised his head as his eyes reflected the light, while looking at those
incoming four palms.

He abruptly formed seals with both of his hands, and a brilliant spiritual light
suddenly swept out from his body.

There were also dragon roars that seemed to have resounded from that light.

Boom!The four large palms swiftly slammed towards Mu Chen’s location.

The earth instantly trembled as large cracks spread out.

Even space had crumbled at this point in time.

Innumerable gazes were firmly fixed on the Spiritual Energy light screen.

This new Domain Lord of the Nine Nether Palace should have already been dealt with,
right? The power of four Pinnacle First Grade Sovereign Realms attacking together
wasn’t something that could be treated lightly.

Nine Nether maintained a calm expression, while Tang Bing and Tang Rou’s faces were
pale.

The four Sovereign Celestial Bodies stood over the horizon as they looked at the
crumbled earth.

Their faces, however, were slightly warped, since Mu Chen’s figure wasn’t in that
location.

“Watch out!” A bark rang out from the four people’s mouths.

Roar!But just when their voices left their mouths, space was abruptly torn apart
behind them and a light dragon flew out from the cracked space.

The faces of those four Sovereigns changed with smears of astonishment in their
eyes.

Mu Chen’s strength was only at the First Grade Sovereign Realm, how could he travel
through spatial cracks? That was something only achievable to those with power
surpassing Fifth Grade Sovereign Realm, at the very least.

However, Mu Chen was clearly not going to explain their doubts.

That dragon flew out from the spatial crack and turned into a slender figure as the
light flickered.

His face was cold as he formed seals.

In an instant, the roar of a dragon and howl of an elephant rang out from his
Sovereign Sea.

Boom!A tremendous purple and black light swiftly flew out of the Sovereign Sea,
forming into a massive purple dragon and black elephant above Mu Chen.

Mu Chen suddenly clasped both of his hands together.

The purple dragon that was blazing with purple flames and the lightning elephant
shrouded in black lightning heavily clashed together.

In an instant, dreadful Spiritual Energy shock waves exploded and sent the four
Sovereign Celestial Bodies flying back.

Creak! Creak!Mu Chen held a massive expression as both of his hands slightly
trembled.

His hand seals that were swiftly changing were to the eyes.

Amongst that violent Spiritual Energy, a dragon and elephant light disc that's
roughly a foot in size was formed.

The light disc emerged with the purple and black colours and the dragon and
elephant on it.

Indescribably dreadful Spiritual Energy fluctuations spread out, causing fine

cracks in the space.
“Kill him!”The four heads of Mt Mang sensed how terrifying the power in the dragon
and elephant light disc was as their hearts jolted along with their barks.

“Dead Three Fingers!”The four people howled together as tremendous Spiritual Energy
whistled, forming into four energy light pillars that were similar to dead trees as
they swiftly made their way towards Mu Chen.

Mu Chen raised his gaze as a smear of a chill appeared in his black pupils, before
his changing seals abruptly froze.

“Disc of the Dragon and Elephant!”His slender finger pointed up in the sky as the
light disc of the dragon and elephant turned into a streak of light as it flew out.

When the light disc travelled, there was a long crack torn in space.

The two attacks streaked across the horizon and clashed against each other under
the countless gazes.

Boom!A visible Spiritual Energy hurricane wreaked havoc as it spread out, causing
the forest below to be instantly levelled as the violent Spiritual Energies
mutually tried erasing each other up in the sky.

“This Mu Chen can actually withstand the attack of four Sovereigns?” Someone
exclaimed because there wasn’t any decline in the purple and black light under the
violent Spiritual Energies.

“What a formidable means this Mu Chen has.

”“He is indeed not simple to be able to become the new Domain Lord of the Nine
Nether Palace.

”“…”“Mu Chen withstood it!” Tang Bing and Tang Rou were pleasant surprised in their
eyes.

“The both of you are looking down on Mu Chen too much.

”Nine Nether lightly smiled.

She had personally experienced the might of the Nine Dragons and Elephants Art from
Mu Chen.

It is a little too naïve for those four fellows to think that they can withstand Mu
Chen’s attacks with just this.

Boom!Just when that thought flashed across Nine Nether’s heart, the purple and
black disk suddenly exploded in the sky.

Purple flames and black lightning wreaked havoc.

The four large fingers that were similar to dead trees were rapidly crumbling apart
under that impact.

Countless people couldn’t help slightly widening their eyes.

“Retreat!” Shock rose in the eyes of the four heads of Mt Mang as they immediately
roared.

The four Sovereign Celestial Bodies rapidly retreated as they flitted across a
thousand feet in an instant with a single stride of their legs.
Mu Chen looked at the four retreating people as a smear of a cold smile appeared on
the corner of his lips.

If the Nine Dragons and Elephants Art’s power was only this much, it wouldn’t be
evaluated as a Quasi-Perfect Rank Divine Art.

Whoosh!Mu Chen flicked his finger.

The wreaking purple flames and black lightning suddenly converged into two rays of
light that intertwined.

With a rustle, they had disappeared from this region and, in the next instant, they
had appeared before the skinniest Sovereign expert.

The latter’s expression drastically instantly changed as he understood Mu Chen’s

motive.

Hurting ten fingers was incomparable to breaking a finger.

Although the power of this Nine Dragons and Elephants Art wasn’t ordinary, Mu
Chen’s cultivation was still too shallow.

It wasn’t possible for him to instantly kill four Sovereigns.

But if it was only targeted at one of them, it was more than sufficient.

“Dead Tree Art!”The skinniest Sovereign expert roared as dried runes appeared on
the Sovereign Celestial Body.

Looking from afar, it was like a withered tree that stood in this region.

Boom!Mu Chen wasn’t the slightest bit bothered as the light of purple flames and
black lightning instantly formed into a purple dragon and lightning elephant.

With an annihilation stance, they heavily slammed against the massive Sovereign
Celestial Body.

Boom!The instant of impact was similar to that of a volcanic eruption.

Terrifying shock wave wreaked so much havoc that the Dead Tree Celestial Body
crumbled with an explosion as a miserable-looking figure shot from it, violently
spewing fresh blood from his mouth as he heavily fell onto the ground, creating a
large and deep crater.

Even his aura was withering, he had clearly been heavily injured and was near
death.

Hiss.

Countless intakes of cold air resounded between the heavens and earth.

No one could have imagined that in barely an instant, a Sovereign expert that had
executed his Sovereign Celestial Body had already been defeated by Mu Chen.

“Gu Da!”The faces of the three remaining Sovereign experts had drastically changed
as dense killing intent surged in their eyes shortly after.

Looking at Mu Chen, their gazes seemed like they wanted to devour him.
“I will tear your body apart!”The three people ferociously barked as the massive
Sovereign Celestial Bodies shot at Mu Chen’s direction once again.

Even the Spiritual Energy between the heavens and earth was shaking under their
fists.

“Rise!”Looking at the three people attacking again, Mu Chen’s gaze remained cold as
he lifted both of his hands in the air.

The forest below crumbled and a Spiritual Array formed with three black lotuses
appeared.

“Butchering Demonic Lotus Spiritual Array!”Mu Chen changed his seals with both of
his hand, causing the three black lotuses to ferociously soar up as they joined,
head to tail, and slammed against a Sovereign Celestial Body.

Boom!A black light that was like ink had started to corrode a Sovereign Celestial
Body.

In an instant, the Sovereign Celestial Body that looked like a dead tree was
instantly turned black, like a cold rock, as it creaked and exploded.

Poof.

Having his Sovereign Celestial Body destroyed, one of the Sovereigns expert was
shot out in a miserable state as he violently spewed fresh blood.

He was instantly heavily injured.

The two Sovereign Celestial Bodies that were charging over had abruptly stopped as
fear finally rose within their eyes.

They couldn’t imagine how they had suffered such heavy losses in just a few
minutes.

Clearly, they were not the only ones that couldn’t understand, even those watching
the battle were dumbfounded with shock in their eyes.

The strength of this Mu Chen was comparable to the four heads of the Mt Mang, at
most, so why was the fighting power that he exposed so terrifying? In just two
exchanges, he had instantly killed two people!Up in the sky, the remaining two
Sovereigns no longer dared to charge forth, since they didn’t know how many means
the youth before them had hidden.

If it was similar to before, then the two that were before them were examples.

“Retreat!”The gazes of those two flickered as they immediately barked out.

The methods that Mu Chen had previously used to instantly kill two Sovereigns left
a great shock in them.

The two Sovereign Celestial Bodies swiftly retreated with no more fighting intent.

“I’m afraid that it’s too late to go now!”Mu Chen coldly smiled when he saw the two
people leaving.

Since he had already gone for it, he would definitely not be lenient.
This was no longer the Northern Heavens Spiritual Academy, being too lenient and
indecisive was stupid.

Thus, both of his hands formed seals again, and a pillar of light flew out from his
head.

A Nine-layered Pagoda whistled as it expanded along the wind and pressed down,
oppressing the third Spiritual Celestial Body within it.

Golden dragons whistled on the body of the Nine-layered Pagoda with golden flames
surging.

In less than ten breath’s time, the third Sovereign Celestial Body was burnt to
nothing as a charred black figure weakly fell from the sky with diminishing
vitality.

Another Sovereign was defeated!The last head of Mt Mang was frightened out of his
wits as he fled for his life.

Looking from afar, it was a battered and exhausted giant charging out of the
Goldpond Peak without the slightest stopover.

Looking at that figure, Mu Chen did not chase after and felt inwardly relieved.

It was a little tough to execute three of his strongest trump cards, even for him.

A majority of his Spiritual Energy in his Sovereign Sea had already been exhausted.

But he was still somewhat satisfied by the fact that he could deal with three First
Grade Sovereign experts with such speed.

His figure fell from the sky as he swept his black pupils around.

In an instant, humanoid figures were hastily retreating without daring to show the
slightest enmity.

Mu Chen paid no attention to them as he turned around and flew towards the Goldpond
Peak.

He believed that no one would efficiently act towards him again.

Beneath the Goldpond Peak, countless people were looking at the figure in the
Spiritual Energy light screen.

The initial clamour had become quiet at this moment.

Everyone had shock revealed on their faces.

Only now did they understand how many terrifying cards this new Domain Lord of the
Nine Nether Palace possessed…One against four and killing three, such an
achievement was indeed scary.

Up over the horizon, the three Emperors were quietly looking at the Spiritual
Energy light screen with smears of astonishment as they stared at the youth’s
figure.

Even the deep and unfathomable Sleeping Emperor had opened his eyes.

This youth… is truly not simple.

Chapter 686 - Greatlaw Goldstage “Mu Chen… won!”Tang Bing and Tang Rou were stunned
as they looked at the Spiritual Energy light screen on the stone stage of the Nine
Nether Palace.

When they saw the youth gradually heading into the distance, they recovered from
their shock as the splendour of joy shone in their eyes.

Tang Rou couldn’t help cheering; and even Tang Bing, who had a pretty good will,
had pursued a tiny smile.

The strength that Mu Chen had displayed was indeed out of their expectations.

The four heads of Mt Mang had some fame even amongst the Great Havenlaw Domain, and
their strength was also pretty decent.

With them joining together, they might even be able to confront an expert of Second
Grade Sovereign Realm.

But, right now, they had landed in such a miserable state by Mu Chen.

The youth’s performance gave everyone a surprise.

Even among the Nine Nether Troop, Qiu Shan and the rest had shock filling their
eyes as the admiration they had for Mu Chen rose in their hearts.

It didn’t matter where it was, strength was the hardest justification.

If their Nine Nether Troop could have such a Domain Lord, it might not be a bad
thing.

“The battle of ascension has just started, if he can’t obtain the final
qualification, it’s useless, no matter how outstanding his performance is.

” Nine Nether was the calmest as she smiled while looking at the sisters.

“How is it useless? After all, Mu Chen’s age is a little young.

He had just come to the Great Havenlaw Domain, so it is reasonable if he fails.

Even if he fails this time, he will definitely win the next.

” Tang Rou defended as she felt injustice for Mu Chen.

After all, he had already done an excellent job.

Tang Bing, who was beside her, did not speak a single word.

Compared to Tang Rou, she was naturally a little more mature, and even though she
knew that Mu Chen had indeed done an excellent job, the reality was harsh.

No matter how outstanding he was, only those that stood on the peak would be the
focus of attention.

No one would pay any attention to the clusters of failures that had become stepping
stones.

If Mu Chen could not obtain the qualification in the end, perhaps the shock he
caused earlier will instantly disappear.

At most, there would be people feeling pity for him and forget about it after that.

Because at that time, he would just be a failure.

Nine Nether looked at the two girls, whose breathing had instantly weakened, as her
rosy lips lifted.

She gazed at the massive Spiritual Energy light screen as she muttered, “But… Mu
Chen will not lose so easily…”While the region where the Nine Nether Palace was
located was celebrating, the Blood Hawk Hall’s region was a little quiet, even the
atmosphere was a bit strange.

Many experts of the Blood Hawk Hall exchanged look as they sneaked peeks towards
the throne.

They did not dare to alarm the Blood Hawk King, who had no expression at the
moment, since they could sense the torrential rage in the latter’s heart at that
moment.

Crack.

The armrest of Blood Hawk King’s throne cracked and his chest was heavily heaving
as he suppressed the rage in his heart.

“Truly four pieces of trash…”He muttered as he stared at the screen.

There was a sharp eerie light flowing in his eyes.

Shortly after, he leaned back on the throne with an indifferent expression.

It was indeed a little beyond his expectations for Mu Chen to defeat the four
Sovereigns of Mt Mang.

But it no longer mattered, as long as Mu Chen did not obtain the qualification, in
the end, all of his efforts were for nought.

The competition of the Greatlaw Goldpond had just begun.

…There was a golden current flowing down from the majestic Goldpond Peak, the
surges made many people feel cold in their hearts.

Fortunately, they had not targeted someone.

Otherwise, without mentioning their strengths being only at the First and Second
Grade, even the Nine Kings might have a hard time reaching the peak.

But, at this moment, two figures were stepping on the golden ocean of trees, their
gazes were directed at the distance where the intense battle broke out between Mu
Chen and the four heads of Mt Mang.

“That Mu Chen actually defeated the four Sovereigns of Mt Mang?” Wu Tian slightly
knitted his brows as he looked into the distance.

Previously, they had witnessed the fight, and those methods that Mu Chen had
executed were indeed very powerful.

It was no wonder why he could kill a First Grade Sovereign in an instant.

Wu Tian was frowning his brows, but he broke into a smile a moment later.

“But this makes things interesting.

”He was genuinely astonished by the fact that Mu Chen could defeat four First Grade
Sovereigns, but that was all to it.

With his current strength, there weren’t many difficulties for him to achieve the
same results.

In his eyes, the four Sovereigns of Mt Mang didn’t pose a threat.

The difference between the grades of Sovereigns was not something that could be so
easily complemented.

“Looks like the heavens are giving me a chance.

” Cao Feng faintly smiled with both of his eyes narrowed.

“Haha, it just so happens that we can show others the difference between the old
and new Domain Lods of the Nine Nether Troop.

” Wu Tian smiled, “We don’t have to bother about him for the time being, let’s
ascend the peak first.

This time, I want to try and see if I can push my ranking a little higher.

”As he spoke, he turned his head towards the depths of the Goldpond Peak and licked
his lips.

From his appearance, he was like a wolf that was glaring at his prey and would not
give up until he achieved his objective.

“Oh?”Cao Feng raised his brows.

“You intend to fight Zhou Yue?”Right now, Wu Tian was ranked three amongst the Four
Great Domain Lords.

If he could defeat Zhou Yue, he could increase his ranking by one.

However, Zhou Yue was the general under the Mountain Splitting King, the
achievements he acquired for all these years were splendid and he could be
considered as an influential figure in the Great Havenlaw Domain.

He was a genuine formidable opponent.

Although Cao Feng was using the resources of the Blood Hawk Hall and had a
significant increase in his strength, he understood that he wouldn’t be able to
shake the rankings of the Four Great Domain Lords for the time being.

But if it was Wu Tian, he might have that ability.

“The ranking of being in 3rd doesn’t feel too good.

”Wu Tian grinned with a smile, revealing his white teeth.

After that, he did not speak anymore as he waved his sleeve and his figure flew
out, flitting across like an eagle as he tore apart the golden current and made his
way towards the peak at lightning speed.

At that sight, Cao Feng immediately followed up.

Along the way, they encountered some experts, but no one dared to provoke them.

After all, they were two of the Four Great Domain Lords, they would undoubtedly
seek death if they went after them.

When Wu Tian and Cao Feng had once again made their way up the mountain, there were
another two figures that stood in the sky in a different location far away.

Those two were the 1st and 2nd rank of the Four Great Domain Lords, Xu Qing and
Zhou Yue.

There was a smear of astonishment in their eyes as they watched Mu Chen’s earlier
fight, but they did not say anything and inwardly revealed a trace of interest.

Looks like there will be some variables in this competition of the Greatlaw
Goldpond……And when everyone was paying attention to Mu Chen because of his earlier
battle, as the protagonist, he had raised his speed to his limits and made his way
towards the mountain peak.

Roar!Vaguely, dragon roars were resounding from the vast golden current as a dragon
figure was seen shuttling through, roaming in the golden current.

The speed had even surpassed several experts up in the front.

When those experts were surpassed, their faces changed.

They hesitated for a brief moment, but, in the end, they chose not to attack.

Because they didn’t have the confidence to defeat an expert that could defeat the
four Sovereigns of Mt Mang.

The dragon figure was undoubtedly Mu Chen.

He had obtained a Dragon Soaring Art, an agility-based Divine Art, from the White
Dragon Sovereign a ways back.

In the beginning, this Divine Art had provided a decent amount of help for Mu Chen,
but along with him getting stronger, the effect of the Dragon Soaring Art had also
gradually decreased until he stepped into the Sovereign Realm…When he reached the
Sovereign Realm, Mu Chen could utilise the Dragon Soaring Art to the highest level,
which was the Soaring Dragon.

Achieving this step, he could change into a draconic figure as he utilised the
mystical energy to tear through space to shorten the distance.

Earlier, it was the might of this Dragon Soaring Art that allowed him to dodge the
inescapable net from the four Sovereigns of Mt Mang.

Right now, Mu Chen had the confidence that if he fully executed the Dragon Soaring
Art, even Second Grade Sovereigns would have a hard time catching up to him.

It was precisely because he was relying on this speed, Mu Chen could break away
from the second batch in less than ten minutes, catching up to the first batch.

After the previous battle, there was no need to conceal his strength anymore.
With the strength he had displayed, anyone that intended to attack him would have
to consider it wisely.

Rustle!The draconic image flitted across as space became distorted, appearing a

thousand feet away with a flash.

Within the draconic image, Mu Chen swept his gaze around as he started to approach
the peak of the Goldpond Peak.

From his perception, there were about twenty Spiritual Energy fluctuations in this
region, and every single one of them was pretty powerful.

They were even stronger than those Sovereign experts he had encountered before.

Those that could be in the first batch were naturally the best of the best amongst
those that were ascending the mountain.

Mu Chen raised his head, looking towards the distance.

There was a brilliant golden platform with golden light circulating on it, looking
as if it was forged with gold.

He knew that it was the Greatlaw Goldstage, the only path towards the Greatlaw
Goldpond.

Only through this path could he have the qualification to ascend the peak.

His foot tapped, and his figure had changed into a dragon as he flew forth.

However, when he travelled about a hundred feet, his figure abruptly came to a stop
as the draconic image faded away and returned to a human form.

Mu Chen stood in the air as he swept his gaze around narrowed eyes.

In this vast ocean of trees, there were multiple figures quietly standing still
with some distance separating one other.

Every single one of those figures had sharp gazes that were similar to hawks and
falcons with tremendous Spiritual Energy fluctuating around them, attracting the
whistling of violent gales.

Every one of those figures had the qualifications to head for the Greatlaw
Goldstage, but there weren’t many spots.

Thus, if they wished to go there, they would have to charge through with their
strength.

Mu Chen looked at those people as their clothes fluttered and a sharp gaze in their
eyes.

He couldn’t help gently licking his lips as his black pupils blazed with fighting
intent.

This is the final step, no one can obstruct me!

Chapter 687 - Spiri tGolden light spread out in the ocean of trees as Mu Chen stood
in the sky, directing his sharp black pupils ahead.

Above the ocean of trees, there were vaguely seven figures standing there.
Those seven figures were a thousand feet apart with tremendous Spiritual Energy
fluctuations sweeping out from them, causing violent gales to blow.

They were exchanging gazes with their eyes filled with alarm and fear.

They knew that if they wanted to ascend the Greatlaw Goldstage, then the other
party would be their biggest obstruction.

The seven of them were the best amongst the various forces of the Great Havenlaw
Domain, any one of them wouldn’t be any weaker than to the four individual heads of
Mt Mang.

Otherwise, they wouldn’t be able to take the lead in the first batch.

This was also precisely the reason that a ferocious battle would take place when
they meet.

Anyone that wanted to ascend the Greatlaw Goldstage would definitely draw the
enmity and attacks of those seven.

Thus, when Mu Chen showed up, the seven people had instantly directed their gazes
over.

Their eyes narrowed in an instant as they recognised Mu Chen.

After all, the commotion of the fight between the latter and four heads of Mt Mang
wasn’t small.

The strength displayed by Mu Chen made them feel fearful.

The seven of them knitted their brows, since they never imagined that Mu Chen would
be coming towards their direction.

Now, they would have an additional fearful enemy.

After witnessing the fight from before, they understood that if they were to fight
individually, not a single of them would be Mu Chen’s opponent.

The gazes of those seven flickered as they exchanged a gaze with each other.

Their gazes flickered as they agreed on the same decision.

Although Mu Chen was powerful, if he wanted to pass through them, then they would
have to join hands and intimidate him a little to let him understand that even if
he had a formidable strength, he still had to follow the rules in this sort of
place.

Looking at the gazes that were directed over, Mu Chen maintained a calm expression
on his face, since he knew about the decision of those seven.

However, he had no intention of retreating and inhaled a deep breath instead,

before his eyes gradually turned sharp.

So what if it was an obstruction of seven Sovereigns? Mu Chen’s path was something

even an expert like Luo Tianshen could not stop, not to mention these fellows.

The path laid before him was filled with thorns, even if he had to fight while
being soaked in blood, he would charge through it without any fear!Boom!Mu Chen
abruptly stepped forward as the space behind him distorted.

His Sovereign Sea vaguely appeared with purple flames that were rising and a
visible Spiritual Energy fluctuation that suddenly swept out with him in the
centre.

The ocean of trees beneath had also entirely caved in.

Rustle!Mu Chen heavily stomped his feet, his figure turned into a streak of light
as he flew out towards the Greatlaw Goldstage.

“Halt your steps!”Seeing as Mu Chen was not the least bit bothered and was directly
charging towards the Greatlaw Goldstage, the seven Sovereigns expert instantly
barked.

This Mu Chen is too arrogant, he’s actually disregarding us?Anger held in the eyes
of those seven as they acted out at the same time.

Boundless Spiritual Energies swept out that seemed like enraged dragons as they
swiftly sent attacks towards Mu Chen at lightning speed.

Up in the sky, the light figure formed by Mu Chen abruptly come to halt as he
watched the incoming Spiritual Energies.

A chill flowed in his pupils as he stomped his feet.

A black stream of light soared from his head into the sky.

An indescribable ominous aura had also exploded forth at this moment.

Within that stream of light, the Great Meru Demonic Pillar flew out and expanded
along the wind into a few hundred feet in size, it was like a pillar that could
support the heavens.

Mu Chen hugged the space before him and heavily swung the Great Meru Demonic Pillar
down.

Instantly, the space before him cracked as the torrential ominous aura caused the
heavens and earth to turn dark.

Boom!The Great Meru Demonic Pillar heavily slammed down, destroying the seven
Spiritual Energies.

Also, there wasn’t any decrease in the momentum as it made its way towards three
Sovereign experts up ahead.

The Great Meru Demonic Pillar brought along shadow and torrential ominous aura,
causing the ocean of trees below to be instantly torn apart.

Those three Sovereigns that were shrouded in the attack had their faces changed.

They clearly sensed how fearsome Mu Chen’s offence was.

Boom!Three Sovereign Celestial Bodies instantly appeared around them and the
massive figures clashed with the Great Meru Demonic Pillar.

Gales swept up in an instant as the ocean of trees within a few thousand feet in
radius was instantly levelled to the ground.
The three Sovereign Celestial Bodies shot out as they retreated, shaking the earth
as they flew away, leaving behind deep craters at the same time.

When they stabilised their figures, there was a smear of horror in their eyes.

At this moment, they understood the fear that the four heads of Mt Mang had at the
last moment.

When this youth before them truly attacked, he would definitely aim for the kill
and would not show any leniency.

They raised their heads, looking at Mu Chen, who was standing on the horizon.

The Great Meru Demonic Pillar stood behind him, spreading an ominous aura.

That ominous aura was similar to that of a primordial demonic god.

The black pupils of the slim youth looked like there was a fire blazing with them.

There weren’t any fluctuations of emotions on his face, but his gaze made them feel
a jolt in their hearts.

It was a firm gaze that seemed like it could not be shaken by anything.

To walk down his path, the youth that stood before them looked like he could fork
out his life as a price.

And no matter who was obstructing him, they would all be reduced to ashes beneath
his feet.

Boom!When they were startled in their hearts, Mu Chen’s figure moved and appeared
directly above the Great Meru Demonic Pillar.

The Great Meru Demonic Pillar turned into a dark ray of light and flew out.

His speed was exceptionally swift, but if the seven Sovereigns intended to stop
him, they could easily achieve that.

But this time, no one dared to act out.

Because they felt fearful animosity from Mu Chen.

The latter’s firm gaze made them understand that if they were to act out, then this
youth before them might unleash a deathmatch with them.

To achieve what they had, they had to fork out endless hard work.

Thus, they cherished their lives very much.

Even if the qualification of the Greatlaw Goldpond was precious, it was

incomparable to their lives.

Furthermore, even if they managed to ascend the Greatlaw Goldstage, they still had
to face the powerful Four Great Domain Lords.

Thus, there was no gain for them to fight such a ferocious and firm person.

The gazes of those seven people flickered with hesitation and struggles could be
seen in their eyes.
However, Mu Chen still paid no attention to them as he stood on the Great Meru
Demonic Pillar.

A violent wind brush against him, fluttering his clothes.

In the eyes of the youth, flames seemed to be surging.

Beneath the Goldpond Peak, countless people held their breaths as they watched this
scene.

They were clearly impacted by Mu Chen’s actions of charging through the confinement
of the seven Sovereigns all by himself.

Tang Bing, Tang Rou and the rest had their fists tightly clenched as their hearts
lifted into their throats.

However, when they were extremely nervous, they felt that they could not shift
their gazes away from the current Mu Chen.

Although that youth might be slightly younger than them, that spirit of his far
surpassed the experts of the same level.

Under the countless gazes, Mu Chen burst into the confinement of the seven
Sovereigns, but he did not stop as he calmly controlled the Great Meru Demonic
Pillar and flew out.

In the end, he brushed past the seven Sovereigns’ faces.

From the start till the end, those seven Sovereigns did not attack anymore.

It was so much so that when Mu Chen brushed past them, they inwardly heaved a sigh
of relief.

The gaze of that youth made them understand that if they were to attack, even if
they could obstruct Mu Chen today, they would have to pay a terrible price.

They couldn’t imagine how a youth could have such a firm and sharp gaze.

But their years of cultivation made them understand that such a figure wasn’t good
to provoke.

Thus, they could only helplessly fling their lips aside and feel relieved the next
moment.

In the future, that youth would definitely have an extraordinary achievement, so

how could Mu Chen’s steps be obstructed by them?Rustle.

Just as Mu Chen charged through the confinement of those seven Sovereigns without
any obstruction, a commotion broke out beneath the Goldpond Peak as many experts
had astonishment flashing across their eyes.

Clearly, they felt that it was hard to believe.

But they weren’t there, so they couldn’t understand the actions of those seven
Sovereigns.

Up in the sky, the three Emperors quietly watched the screen.

They looked at the youth who was standing on the Great Meru Demonic Pillar as their
gazes slightly flickered.

“The prospects of this Mu Chen will not be ordinary.

Finally, a decent person has appeared in our Great Havenlaw Domain.

”Sleeping Emperor, who had drowsy-eyes, opened both of his eyes at this moment.

His pupils were as abstruse as the starry sky with intelligence.

He looked at that slender figure as he said in a hoarse voice.

When Sky Vulture Emperor and Spiritual Pupils Emperor heard his words, they were
slightly startled.

After all, this was the first time after all these years that they heard Sleeping
Emperor praising a younger generation in this way.

Even the Four Great Domain Lords had not gotten such treatment yet.

The Sky Vulture Emperor had a decent relationship with Nine Nether, so he smiled on
the spot, while Spiritual Pupils Emperor spoke out indifferently, “There’s too many
geniuses in the world, even those that are exceptionally outstanding are as many as
the stars in the sky.

But, in the end, there’s too little that can emerge.

”Sleeping Emperor smiled at his words as his eyes returned to being drowsy.

On the ocean of trees, after passing through the confinement of those seven
Sovereigns, Mu Chen waved his sleeve and stored the Great Meru Demonic Pillar in
his body.

Shortly after, he tapped his feet in the air, and his figure flew out.

In more than ten breaths, the gold and radiant Greatlaw Goldstage had already
appeared before him.

He strode forth and placed his feet on it.

It was a firm sensation that lifted an arc on the corner of his lips.

He was finally on this Greatlaw Goldstage.

Through here, the Greatlaw Goldpond would just be within his reach!
Chapter 688 - Challenging Cao Feng The dazzling golden stage was the only path
towards the peak of the mountain.

As a golden light spread out, it looked like flowing golden liquid.

The scene was exceptionally dazzling.

Mu Chen’s feet stepped onto the golden stage as he swept his gaze around.

The golden stage was roughly ten thousand feet in size, it was very spacious.

But now, there were only a few figures in this golden stage.
Accurately speaking, there were only five silhouettes.

Furthermore, Mu Chen had seen the five silhouettes before.

Four amongst those five were the current Four Great Domain Lords of the Great
Havenlaw Domain.

The fifth figure was that tall and sturdy man that Mu Chen had seen when he
initially entered the Goldpond Peak.

He never thought that this person could also make it to the Greatlaw Goldstage.

When Mu Chen was looking at the five people, five gazes were also gathered on him.

Aside from Wu Tian and Cao Feng, who were looking at him with cold gazes, the
remaining three were a little shocked.

They had also witnessed the scene of Mu Chen breaking past the seven Sovereigns.

That scene left them a little shaken, since they understood that in that instant
when Mu Chen was able to shake those seven Sovereigns, he wasn’t relying on his own
strength, but a fearful spirit.

In this world, there wasn’t any lacking in geniuses, there were many with
outstanding talent as well.

But those that could become a well-famed supreme expert all possessed an unshakable
will and spirit that was out of the ordinary.

That spirit could be understood as a form of fearlessness.

No matter what sort of opponent, he or she would never retreat.

Even if it was a towering mountain that they were unable to exceed, they would also
charge at it without any fear.

Fighting for that trace of life in death and undergoing rebirth.

The calm that Mu Chen had previously displayed left them a little shaken.

It was even more intense than when Mu Chen defeated the four Sovereigns of Mt Mang.

Thus, even Xu Qing and Zhou Yue, who were ranked the first and second amongst the
Four Great Domain Lords, looked at Mu Chen with a trace of heaviness.

“Haha, how interesting.

I never expected for dark horses to appear this time.

It’s truly better than in the past.

” Laughter rang out as Wu Tian smiled with narrowed eyes looking at Mu Chen and the
robust man.

His smile was a little mocking.

Mu Chen maintained a calm expression as he slowly walked forth to the corner

towards the north.
With him also, there was a total of six people on the Greatlaw Goldstage.

But there was only four qualifications for the Greatlaw Goldpond.

That implied that two people would be eliminated.

Those that could ascend the Greatlaw Goldstage and get through the layers of
obstructions were the best amongst the younger generations of the Great Havenlaw
Domain.

The difficulty of defeating two was probably even harder than the battles from
before.

Mu Chen’s gaze slightly changed.

His body might seem to have eased up, but the Spiritual Energy within his body was
roaring like a ferocious dragon.

He was making preparations to explode with fearful power to deal with any attacks.

Just when Mu Chen was silent, the remaining five also did not speak on the Greatlaw
Goldstage.

But anyone could sense that there was an undercurrent flowing on the golden stage.

Which two of these six will be eliminated?Beneath the Goldpond Peak, every gaze was
focused on the Greatlaw Goldstage.

Many people held a nervous gaze as this was the final battle.

As long as there was a result, the four qualifications of the Greatlaw Goldpond
would be announced.

But judging from the current situation, the chances of Mu Chen and that robust man
being eliminated was the highest.

Although they were dark horses, their foundation was still somewhat weak compared
to the Four Great Domain Lords, whose fame had already been established since long
ago.

Under the many gazes, Wu Tian’s gaze was similar to that of a venomous snake as he
swivelled on the Greatlaw Goldstage and fell onto Mu Chen and the robust man in the
end.

He smiled, “The two of you are newcomers, so the both of you will choose your
opponent for the final battle.

Consider this the preferential treatment that we are giving to the both of you as
your Seniors.

But, of course… you can also choose amongst yourselves, which will also be a little
easy.

”His smile was a little vicious and the hidden meaning behind his words was clear.

He was trying to pit Mu Chen against the robust man before seizing the last
qualification after there was a result.

Mu Chen remained indifferent and did not bother with him.

Wu Tian smiled.

He wasn’t bothered by that and shifted his gaze onto the robust man.

Under Wu Tian’s gaze, the gaze of the robust man was changing.

Judging from the current situation, Mu Chen was apparently easier to deal with.

Although he seemed crude, he was scrupulous in his heart, and his keen senses told
him that the youth named Mu Chen didn’t seem to be so simple.

There seemed to be a ferocious tiger hidden within the depths of his black pupils.

The moment he explodes, he would definitely bite someone.

In his view, if he had to choose an opponent amongst the five, he would not wish to
choose Mu Chen.

He wouldn’t be able to rest or eat in peace if such a person was his enemy.

The gaze of the robust man fluctuated as he deeply inhaled a mouthful of air in the
end and gave Mu Chen a friendly smile.

Shortly after, he shifted his gaze to Wu Tian as he cupped his fist and smiled.

“Fang Lei of Lion-Tiger Mountain under the Great Havenlaw Domain seeks to teach
from Domain Lord Wu Tian.

”When he spoke, Wu Tian’s face instantly dulled.

His gaze was as eerie as a blade as he stared at the robust man.

He never thought that not only would that fellow cause his plans to fail, but he
would also even take the initiative to provoke him.

All of the Four Great Domain Lords were present.

He could go after anyone but had targeted him instead, did that fellow feel that he
was the weakest among the Four Great Domain Lords?Such provocation was something
that Wu Tian couldn’t bear.

Henceforth, he eerily looked at the robust man named Fang Lei and grinned,
revealing his white teeth that were similar to that of a beast.

“Good, very good, you’re truly courageous.

”Mu Chen was also a little surprised by the robust man’s choice.

Judging from appearances, his threat was undoubtedly weak when compared to someone
that was one of the Four Great Domain Lords.

But this Fang Lei chose to risk offending Wu Tian and give up fighting him, which
made him feel a little unexpected.

However, his choice gave Mu Chen a chance.

Because of this, he could prevent the exhaustion of his strength from fighting one
after another.
Thus, Mu Chen slightly nodded his head towards Fang Lei as he strode forth.

His cold gaze swept over the Four Great Domain Lords, passing Xu Qing, Zhou Yue and
stopped onto Wu Tian and Cao Feng, who held a calm expression.

“The new Domain Lord of Nine Nether Palace, Mu Chen, wonders if Domain Lord Cao
Feng could grant a lesson?”When Mu Chen’s calm voice rang out in the Greatlaw
Goldstage, the air instantly froze, whereas the atmosphere beneath the Goldpond
Peak exploded.

A commotion soared into the sky as countless people showed startled expressions on
their faces with lights glowing from their eyes.

Their interest was lifted in a blink of an eye.

Everyone knew Cao Feng’s past with the Nine Nether Palace, and Mu Chen was the new
Domain Lord of the Nine Nether Palace right now.

Now that the new and old Domain Lords bump one another, if a battle were to occur
between them, it would definitely be interesting.

They wished to know who was more powerful, the old Domain Lord that had betrayed
the Nine Nether Palace or this new Domain Lord that was brought back by Nine
Nether.

Nine Nether had already misjudged once, they wondered if she had misjudged a second
time.

Under the commotion, in the direction of the Nine Nether Palace, everyone in the
Nine Nether Troop had a cold expression as they stared at Cao Feng with hatred.

The latter had betrayed the Nine Nether Palace and also abandoned their Nine Nether
Troop.

To them, there was nothing more hurtful than a Domain Lord’s betrayal.

Tang Bing and Tang Rou clenched their fists and the nervousness on their faces
could not be concealed.

Although they knew that the battle between Mu Chen and Cao Feng was something that
would take place sooner or later, they couldn’t prevent billows from rising in
their hearts when the situation truly took place.

Cao Feng’s betrayal was the pain of their Nine Nether Palace.

They knew that Nine Nether also had a knot in her heart because of that; after all,
it wasn’t easy to dispel the betrayal of someone that you had trusted in the past.

None of them could undo the knot, and they could only rely on Mu Chen to do it
because he was the new Domain Lord of the Nine Nether Palace.

He had taken over Cao Feng’s spot, so he had to wipe out the stains left behind by
Cao Feng.

This stain wasn’t easy, only by defeating Cao Feng, could he formally tell everyone
in the Great Havenlaw Domain that in the future, he, Mu Chen, was the true Domain
Lord of the Nine Nether Troop.
Covering up the names of the past with his brilliance.

The betrayer of the past would also gradually fade away.

After welcoming the right person, the Nine Nether Palace would also emit the
brilliance that belonged to her.

But, naturally, the prerequisite for that was that Mu Chen had to have the strength
to erase the stains left behind by Cao Feng.

Right now, the battle between him and Cao Feng would also announce the results.

Perhaps there were countless people in the Great Havenlaw Domain waiting for this
result.

The Nine Nether Palace would be depending on this if it could replace the old with
the new that reflects it's true nature.

Beneath the Goldpond Peak, countless commotions rang into the sky.

Cao Feng revealed a faint smile on the Greatlaw Goldstage as he focused his gaze on
Mu Chen, before a cold arc slowly lifted on the corner of his lips.

Wasn’t it also his wish for Mu Chen to choose him?He would let Nine Nether know
that his outstanding self wasn’t something that could be replaced by anyone that
she found.

Cao Feng slowly spat out a lump of white mist as he took a step forth.

He raised his hand and lightly bent it towards Mu Chen, his gaze as cold as a
blade.

At the same time, his light laughter softly rang out on this Greatlaw Goldstage as
well.

“Challenging me? As you wish.

Except, I hope you will have the courage to bear the price for it…”
Chapter 689 - Battle Between New and Old Domain Lords Under the countless amounts
of attention, Cao Feng slowly strode forth.

With every step he took, Spiritual Energy fluctuations spread out from his body as
they grew at an astonishing speed.

In just three steps, his Spiritual Energy fluctuations had already surpassed the
pinnacle of First Grade Sovereign Realm!Those Spiritual Energy fluctuations were
stronger than any opponent Mu Chen had faced in on the Goldpond Peak!As Cao Feng
steadied his steps with a mocking smile hung on the corner of his lips, his
Spiritual Energy fluctuations stabilised at Second Grade Sovereign.

That powerful Spiritual Energy pressure seemed like it could envelop the entire
Greatlaw Goldstage.

Cao Feng had actually stepped into Second Grade Sovereign Realm!Beneath the
Goldpond Peak, countless exclamations resounded.

No wonder Cao Feng wasn’t afraid of Mu Chen’s challenge.

He had already made his breakthrough to Second Grade Sovereign Realm.

Tang Bing and Tang Rou couldn’t help their faces changing expressions, since they
were well-aware that the gap between each grade of the Sovereign Realm was
enormous.

It wasn’t an easy task to make up for that distance.

“Big Sister, Mu Chen will not lose, right?” Tang Rou pulled Tang Bing’s hand as she
softly asked.

If Mu Chen lost this round, the name of their Nine Nether Palace would probably
suffer a great fall.

At that time, the Blood Hawk King would raise the old topic in an attempt to
dissolve their Nine Nether Palace again.

Tang Bing slightly hesitated as she gritted her teeth shortly after.

“That fellow Mu Chen isn’t a fool.

I believe that he must have already expected it.

If he didn’t have any methods to deal with Cao Feng, he would not be looking so
confident right now.

”At this point in time, there was no other way except to believe in Mu Chen.

Hearing her words, Nine Nether couldn’t help smiling, “Xiao Bing’er, you finally
have some confidence for him.

”Tang Bing’s face turned a little red as she toughed it out.

“I’m thinking for our Nine Nether Palace.

Furthermore, he was so arrogant in front of me earlier.

If he loses the fight, watch how I will deal with him!”A faint smile rose on Nine
Nether’s cool and elegant face as she looked at the light screen.

Her slender eyes were staring at the two silhouettes facing off as she said in a
light voice, “Rest assured… A single Cao Feng isn’t enough to obstruct him…”…Cao
Feng stood in the centre of the Greatlaw Goldstage.

His gaze was slightly looking down as he stared at Mu Chen.

The strength of a Second Grade Sovereign gave him confidence.

Within the Blood Hawk Hall, he had always been low-profile.

The whole time, Wu Tian was making decisions for the majority of the matters as he
concealed himself.

Probably aside from Blood Hawk King, there weren’t many people that were aware of
the fact that he wasn’t any weaker than Wu Tian right now.

Furthermore, he knew how to endure even more than Wu Tian.

If it wasn’t for Mu Chen, he might have continued to conceal his strength and wait
for a day when he could overturn the three people ranked before him… “I originally
didn’t intend to reveal my strength…”The tremendous Spiritual Energy fluctuations
around Cao Feng caused space to surge as it shook layers of visible ripples.

He was looking at Mu Chen with indifference as he said, “But as a former Domain

Lord of the Nine Nether Palace, I believe I have the need to test whether you are
qualified to be the new Domain Lord.

”Mu Chen lightly frowned his brows as he stared at Cao Feng and slowly said, “I
hope that such words will not be coming out of you in the future.

You are no longer qualified to have any relations to the Nine Nether Palace.

”He paused his speech for a brief moment, before he continued, “Also, I have
something to tell you… a fellow like you is truly an ungrateful bastard.

So, this time, I will only want an arm from you.

Although it will dirty my hands, you have to give an explanation to the thousand
brothers in the Nine Nether Troop.

”When Mu Chen’s calm voice spread out on the Greatlaw Goldstage, it left all five
people stunned, even Xu Qing and Zhou Yue had an astonished gaze.

They were blankly looking at the youth who held a calm expression.

They couldn’t believe that such an arrogant speech would come from a gentle-looking
youth.

His words sounded as if Cao Feng was already a fish on the chopping board and
allowed him to slaughter as he wished.

Didn’t he see that Cao Feng had already reached the Second Grade Sovereign Realm?
Even if he could display impressive fighting strength, he absolutely didn’t have
the qualifications to boast of such words before a Second Grade Sovereign!“Haha…
How interesting.

” Wu Tian was looking at Mu Chen with a weird gaze and couldn’t help letting out a
bizarre laughter.

Is the new Domain Lord of the Nine Nether Palace stupid to such an extent?Cao Feng
was also looking at Mu Chen with a cold gaze.

The indifference on his face was already gone and his lips were slightly trembling.

His gaze gradually turned savage.

“Haha…”Cao Feng coldly laughed from the gap between his teeth.

He laughed due to the extreme anger towards Mu Chen’s words.

This was the first time that he had encountered such a rampant fellow after all
these years.

He was just trying to humiliate Mu Chen with his previous words, but he never
expected that the latter’s words would be even more shocking.

From that appearance, Mu Chen basically did not treat him as any threat at all.

“Looks like the new Domain Lord that Lady Nine Nether has brought back is truly a
disappointment.

”Mu Chen frowned his brows again as he stared at Cao Feng.

“Two hands.

”“Reckless fool!”Even with Cao Feng’s firmness, he could no longer endure Mu Chen’s
words.

He let out a savage laughter and flew over shortly after.

I will first turn this stinking brat into a cripple and see if he still dares to
speak such stupid words.

Rustle!Cao Feng acted out in anger as he mysteriously appeared before Mu Chen.

There wasn’t any hesitation in him as he threw a fist forth.

Spiritual Energy that was similar to a torrential ocean swept out as it blew
towards Mu Chen.

The strength of a Second Grade Sovereign was instantly exploded by him in a single
fist.

That fist was sufficient to defeat any opponent at the level of First Grade
Sovereign.

The fist violently whistled along with an ocean of Spiritual Energy.

The golden stage was trembling due to it.

Clearly, Cao Feng had not held back in the slightest.

The fist grew in Mu Chen’s black pupils, but he didn’t show any trace of
retreating.

Both of his hands hugged the empty space and his gaze suddenly turned scarlet as a
torrential ominous aura swept out.

Boom!The Great Meru Demonic Pillar had directly appeared between Mu Chen’s arms and
was abruptly swung by him and heavily clashed with that ferocious fist.

Boom!The two forces clashed as a heavy sound exploded.

Visible shock waves violently swept out as they wreaked havoc.

There were also fine cracks appearing on the golden stage.

Even Xu Qing and Zhou Yue had narrowed their eyes from that shock wave.

Boom!Two figures abruptly shot out from the location where the Spiritual Energy
shock waves were violently wreaking havoc.

The Great Meru Demonic Pillar abruptly rotated in Mu Chen’s hands as it heavily
smashed onto the ground.

He was supporting the pillar with a single hand as it forcefully stabilised his
body.
After that, he raised his head as he looked at Cao Feng, who wasn’t too far away
and had a dark expression on his face at this moment.

“Second Grade Sovereign, just so-so.

”Mu Chen calmly said.

Although his strength was merely at the First Grade Sovereign, his Spiritual Energy
had fused with the Undying Flames, so regarding quality, it would definitely be
more powerful than Cao Feng.

In addition to the power of the Great Meru Demonic Pillar, he wouldn’t be at a

disadvantage even if they were to face off.

“You’re not afraid that you won’t be able to come back from those words later?” Cao
Feng mocked with a smile as his gaze grew even eerier.

Shortly after, he abruptly grasped his hand as tremendous spiritual light swept
out.

A scarlet longspear appeared in his hand.

The body of that longspear was similar to that of blood, as if it had been dyed in
endless amounts of blood, holding a sinister aura.

The tip of the spear was a scarlet hawkeye that looked extremely weird.

“This is the Blood Hawk Spear of the Blood Hawk Hall, it’s a Middle Rank Divine
Artifact.

The priced treasure of the Blood Hawk Hall.

The Blood Hawk King was truly willing to part with it, to give such a Divine
Artifact to Cao Feng.

” Seeing that scarlet longspear, Tang Bing’s heart tightened as she spoke.

Next to her, Tang Rou’s face was also filled with worry and nervousness.

With the Blood Hawk Spear in his hand, Cao Feng’s grandeur grew even more powerful.

The body of the spear trembled as a piercing hawk cry rang across the horizon.

A bloody light fluctuated as if it was going to tear the horizon.

Rustle!Cao Feng’s figure flew out, turning into numerous afterimages while the
spear images had turned into a storm of bloody rain, enveloping Mu Chen, as a
killing aura swept out.

Mu Chen took half a step back and the Great Meru Demonic Pillar whistled as the
massive body of the pillar swept out, receiving all those spear images.

Ding! Ding! Clang! Clang!The two of them clashed like lightning as sparks flew.

Every single collision would cause an astonishing Spiritual Energy shock wave to
explode.

Even space was a little distorted due to that.

The two of them did not adopt any defensive measures.

The both of them were fully attacking, which was extremely irritant to the eyes.

Countless people had widened their eyes to watch the two blurry figures.

There was a clear-cut space around those two.

No matter how ferocious the attacks of the other party were, they could not
penetrate through that space.

Many people had astonishment surfacing in their eyes as they realised that the Cao
Feng, who had the upper hand regarding strength, could not gain any advantage from
the clash.

Cao Feng had naturally sensed this point and his gaze grew even eerier.

The tip of his feet tapped on the ground as his figure flew towards the horizon.

The Blood Hawk Spear in his hand exploded with myriads of blood light and an ear-
piercing hawk cry rang out across the horizon.

“Hawk Spear - Hawk Rips Space!”A bloody light shot out as a blood hawk a hundred
feet high flew out from the longspear, unfolded its wings, and fused with the sharp
spear light.

Then swiftly shrouded towards Mu Chen at lightning speed.

“Die!” Cao Feng coldly barked as his voice resounded in the sky.

Mu Chen raised his head as he looked at the sharp attack.

Sharpness started to converge in his black eyes as well.

He inhaled a deep breath as he heavily smashed the Great Meru Demonic Pillar on the
ground and the demonic runes that looked to be from the primordial times lit up on
the ancient demonic pillar.

In the next instant, an indescribable ominous aura spread out between the heavens
and earth.

It was as if an ancient demonic object had awakened, causing the faces of countless
people to change.

The scarlet in Mu Chen’s eyes grew as a deep voice rang from his heart.

“Great Meru Demonic Pillar - Dilating Demonic Runes!”

Chapter 690 - Blood Shadow Celestial Body “Dilating Demonic Runes!”The deep roar
rang from within Mu Chen’s heart and the scarlet ancient runes on the surface of
the Great Meru Demonic Pillar lit up.

Those runes looked like they were spreading out on the Great Meru Demonic Pillar,
making it look like it could crumble any moment.

However, it was precisely in this crumbling state that an indescribable ominous

aura swept out from those cracks, causing the Great Meru Demonic Pillar to look
like a demonic god that was about to awaken.

It was incredibly terrifying.

The Great Meru Demonic Pillar was a primordial Ominous Artifact, to begin with,
passing through the hands of many experts since the ancient times.

Although it was damaged right now, with the increase in Mu Chen’s strength, the
might of it was also slowly being unleashed.

Such ferocious might wasn’t something that an ordinary Divine Artifact could be
compared to.

Boom!Along with torrential ominous aura, the Great Meru Demonic Pillar heavily
smashed down.

In an instant, space was distorted, and even the air had exploded when it clashed
against the Blood Hawk Spear that was stunningly whistling over.

Boom!The two clashed together and a low ear-piercing noise rang out.

Terrifying Spiritual Energy shock waves were like waves that were a myriad of feet
high that swept over in all directions.

Rumble!The violent Spiritual Energy shock waves wreaked havoc, almost as if they
had brought along a never-ending thunderous explosion.

Everyone had their attention glued on the spot that had the most violent Spiritual
Energy shock waves.

At that spot was a slender youth that was standing upright with both of his hands
hugging the Great Meru Demonic Pillar, his feet had drawn along the ground and was
slowly moving back.

With every step, the ground below would crumble into dust.

A scarlet light flowed into Mu Chen’s eyes, and a deep bark came from his throat as
he stomped his feet, causing the golden ground to crack within the radius of ten
feet.

“Break!”The veins on both of his arms were wriggling like dragons.

With a bark, torrential ominous aura surged above the Great Meru Demonic Pillar.

Liiii!A sharp hawk cry resounded as well.

Fine cracks appeared on the large Blood Hawk as it swiftly extended and, in the
end, a crisp noise resounded, before the Blood Hawk exploded, turning into sparks
of bloody light as it fell.

In the sky, there was also a muffled noise as a figure staggered within the
tremendous Spiritual Energy shock wave.

Mu Chen had forcefully broken Cao Feng’s attacks, so Cao Feng had apparently
suffered an aftershock from it as well.

Rustle!Mu Chen’s face was cold as he stomped his feet against the ground and his
figure flew up.

He was like a Great Roc unfolding his wings as he skimmed over the horizon before
the Great Meru Demonic Pillar was ferociously slammed down against the rampant
Spiritual Energy.
Mu Chen’s attacks were exceptionally sharp and were actually able to obtain a trace
of advantage, so he definitely wouldn’t let his opponent have the chance to catch
his breath.

The Great Meru Demonic Pillar had violently torn through the rampant Spiritual
Energy as it smashed down towards the figure.

Boom!When the Great Meru Demonic Pillar charged into the Spiritual Energy, Mu
Chen’s eyes abruptly narrowed.

A violent shock wave exploded and the Spiritual Energy instantly dispersed.

Everyone directed their gazes over, and then abruptly shrunk…In the location where
the Spiritual Energy light was spreading, there was a light figure the size of a
few hundred feet.

That figure was red in colour, as if it was forged from fresh blood.

On the surface of the massive body, there were also weird runes refined by the
fresh blood and waves of horrifying Spiritual Energy fluctuations were coming from
the light figure, causing space to ripple and distort around it.

Right at this moment, that massive figure blocked the Great Meru Demonic Pillar
that was slamming down with a huge hand flickering with a bloody lustre.

The bloody lustre surged as if there was fresh blood continuously flowing down.

That massive figure was the Sovereign Celestial Body that Cao Feng had
refined!“This Sovereign Celestial Body…”Mu Chen was also staring at the scarlet
Sovereign Celestial Body.

He sensed a powerful Spiritual Energy fluctuation from the Sovereign Celestial

Body.

His gaze flickered as he muttered in a soft voice, “It’s actually the Blood Shadow
Celestial Body that is 99th in rank.

”Although this Blood Shadow Celestial Body was just ranked 99, it was still a
ranked Sovereign Celestial Body.

Naturally, it would be more powerful than an ordinary Sovereign Celestial Body.

Looks like this Cao Feng is viewed with great importance by the Blood Hawk Hall.

Otherwise, he wouldn’t be able to obtain the cultivation method for this Blood
Shadow Celestial Body.

It’s no wonder why he betrayed the Nine Nether Palace back then and joined the
Blood Hawk Hall.

“Since you’re able to force me to use my Blood Shadow Celestial Body, it proves
your capability.

” The Blood Shadow Celestial Body that was formed by Cao Feng was staring at Mu
Chen with a ferocious gaze similar to that of a beast as his cold voice resounded
between the heavens and earth.

Rage was contained in his voice, since he initially thought that he could easily
suppress Mu Chen with his strength at the Second Grade Sovereign Realm.

But when they fought, he realised that he could not gain any advantage.

On contrary, he felt a little suppressed from the strange demonic pillar that was
emitting the torrential ominous aura.

How could he accept this?If he lost to Mu Chen under the view of the entire Great
Havenlaw Domain, he wouldn’t have any footing in the future.

Thus, no matter what, he definitely had to kill this Mu Chen before him!Dense
killing intent flashed in the eyes of the Blood Shadow Celestial Body as he slammed
his palm against the Great Meru Demonic Pillar.

The terrifying Spiritual Energy exploded as it sent the demonic pillar flying away.

Mu Chen’s figure abruptly retreated as he waved his hand, summoning the Great Meru
Demonic Pillar as it flew over while whistling against the wind.

The pillar stood towering on the ground while he stood above the pillar.

His gaze was cold as he looked at the massive Blood Shadow Celestial Body.

“Blood Explosion Art!”Killing intent surged in Cao Feng’s heart as his bloody palms
abruptly formed seals.

Shortly after, they were like the claws of a hawk as they clawed at Mu Chen.

Boom!His claws whistled against the wind, even the sky seemed to have turned red.

Far away, Mu Chen’s figure stiffened for a brief moment as the blood in his body
showed signs of boiling and exploding.

Cao Feng’s Blood Shadow Celestial Body was actually able to cause the blood in a
person’s body to explode despite such a distance, it was indeed a bizarre method.

Boom!Mu Chen’s feet suddenly stomped on the ground as brilliant lightning exploded.

His body was swiftly turning into lightning, flickering with silvery light, looking
like a descending lightning god and threw a punch out.

Enraged lightning rolled.

There appeared to be hundreds upon thousands of lightning pythons slithering about

as the punch smashed against that bloody light.

“Blood Shadow!"Cao Feng let out a wicked smile at the sight of it as countless
bloody rays shot from his body.

It was as if there were myriads of shadows flashing across as it wrapped around Mu

Chen from every direction.

Those blood shadows were shrieking as the sound waves caused intense pain in one’s
head, making it seem as if the brain was about to explode.
Mu Chen lightly frowned his brows as he tapped his feet and his figure suddenly
retreated.

Thunder resounded near his ears, resisting the shrieking sound waves as he threw
two fists forth.

Boom! Boom!Earth-shattering amounts of lightning fists flew out as they clashed

with those blood shadows.

In an instant, the booming noise that resounded in this region was never-ending.

But with every impact, Mu Chen’s figure would be sent flying out a few hundred
feet.

Anyone could tell that in this confrontation, Mu Chen was actually at a

disadvantage.

In the location of the Nine Nether Palace, Tang Bing and Tang Rou had their hearts
racing as they watched.

They did not say anything, since they knew how powerful Cao Feng was at this
moment.

“Right now, you are no different from a stray dog.

Where is that awe-inspiring ability from earlier?”Cao Feng coldly sneered as his
attacks became even sharper.

Shortly after, he looked at the retreating Mu Chen as the killing intent in his
eyes abruptly grew to a new height, and he suddenly formed a bizarre seal with both
of his hands.

“You think that you can keep running?”“Demonic Blood Bell - Corroding Heavens and
Refining Earth!”Boom!Suddenly, the heavens and earth grew dark, as if even the sky
had turned scarlet-red.

A bloody rain descended everywhere, covering this region.

Mu Chen stabilised his figure as he slightly knitted his brows because he could
sense the abnormal Spiritual Energy fluctuations in this region.

Clearly, Cao Feng had started to use his killing move.

“It’s almost time…”Mu Chen lowered his head as he muttered to himself.

The hand in his sleeve silently formed the last seal.

Buzz!The space around Mu Chen suddenly turned blood-red and the countless blood
shadows that were like vines shuttled through space.

In just a few breaths’ time, they had already wrapped around his body.

Those blood shadows enveloped Mu Chen and a massive blood bell appeared, shrouding
him within.

Buzz! Buzz!The blood bell stood in the sky, there were countless savage faces on
the surface of the blood bell as they issued piercing shrieks that resonated in the
sky non-stop.
This caused a sharp pain to the mind, as if it was about to explode.

When the blood bell appeared and shrouded Mu Chen within, countless people had
their faces changed as they inwardly shook their heads.

This killing move of Cao Feng’s could even cause a similar Second Grade Sovereign
to be in a tough situation.

This Mu Chen is probably gone.

In the Blood Hawk Hall’s direction, the Blood Hawk King, who had a dark expression,
revealed a smear of a faint smile on his face.

His gaze was as venomous as a snake as it made a shudder.

This time, I will see if the Nine Nether Palace still has any face left.

“Die!”Up in the sky, Cao Feng eerily smiled as killing intent surged and his seals
changed shortly after.

The blood bell suddenly trembled as the bloody light exploded.

As long as he detonated the bell, Mu Chen, who was in it, would definitely
die!“Demonic Blood Bell - Explode!”Boom!The large blood bell thoroughly exploded.

In that instant of the explosion, there was an endless sea of blood sweeping out
and the reeking of blood covered this region.

Even space showed signs of shattering at this moment as spatial cracks swiftly
expanded…Innumerable gazes were directed over.

The faces of Tang Bing and Tang Rou turned pale as their figures lightly trembled.

Everyone in the Nine Nether Troop also had pale faces as their expressions dulled
down.

Only Nine Nether maintained her calm.

In the area where the sea of blood had spread out, endless lights abruptly shot out
from the sea of blood.

The sea of blood evaporated from those lights, and in a few breath’s time, the sea
of blood that filled that region was thoroughly wiped out.

Cao Feng’s face abruptly changed as he looked up.

Many experts between the heavens and earth had also sensed it as they looked at the
distant sky with astonishment in their eyes.

Shortly after, many people were blinking their eyes.

Between that heaven and earth stood a colossal light figure with a blazing sun
hovering behind it’s head, emitting an endless light.

The surging light had spread out, causing the Spiritual Energy in this region to
boil.

A heart-alarming Spiritual Energy pressure had also enveloped out.

In the sky, the three Emperors that had been watching this battle had their eyes
abruptly narrowed as shock emerged in their eyes.

Chapter 691 - Might of the Great Solar Undying Body Dazzling flames of light surged
from that horizon.

The torrential bloody light that was in its way was like snow meeting magma and
swiftly withered away.

In a few breaths’ time, the dark horizon instantly turned bright.

In the distant bright sky, there was a colossal figure striding over with a blazing
sun behind its head, looking incredibly spectacular.

Countless people were dumbfounded as they watched this scene.

“This is Mu Chen’s Sovereign Celestial Body?”“What Sovereign Celestial Body is

this? Judging from the fluctuations that it’s giving off, it doesn’t seem to be an
ordinary Sovereign Celestial Body.

But the appearance doesn’t look like any of the 99 Rankings of Sovereign Celestial
Bodies…”“Weird…”Whispers rang out between the heavens and earth with shock and
doubt mixed into those voices.

Evidently, they had no clue what that mysterious Sovereign Celestial Body before
them was.

Up in the sky, the three Emperors similarly had shock and splendour in their eyes
as they looked at that mysterious Sovereign Celestial Body.

“This Sovereign Celestial Body doesn’t seem to be among the 99 Rankings of

Sovereign Celestial Bodies!” Sky Vulture Emperor exclaimed.

Spiritual Pupils Emperor slightly frowned his brows as he faintly said, “Although
the 99 Rankings of Sovereign Celestial Bodies is authoritative, the world is vast
and wide.

There is also some powerful Sovereign Celestial Bodies that aren’t amongst the 99
Rankings of Sovereign Celestial Bodies.

Furthermore, some talented geniuses are also able to refine a powerful Sovereign
Celestial Body with the right opportunity.

”Hearing his words, Sleeping Emperor nodded his head as he smiled in a faintly
audible voice, “Your words are correct.

There are too many miraculous things in the world.

The 99 Rankings of Sovereign Celestial Bodies does not represent everything.

But even if the Sovereign Celestial Body is powerful, it still has to depend on the
user’s strength.

If the gap is too great, it also could not be complemented through cultivating a
powerful Sovereign Celestial Body.

”His words paused for a brief moment as he cast a glance at the two Sovereign
Celestial Bodies that were facing off and smiled.
“But right now, that mysterious Sovereign Celestial Body is sufficient to conclude
the result.

”Although Mu Chen was only a First Grade Sovereign, his fighting power wasn’t any
weaker than Cao Feng, who was a Second Grade Sovereign.

Right now, the both of them had summoned their Sovereign Celestial Bodies, and with
Sleeping Emperor’s eyesight, he could naturally tell that Mu Chen had the upper
hand.

Sky Vulture Emperor smiled hearing his words, while the Spiritual Pupils Emperor
lightly knitted his brows and spoke nothing more.

He didn’t have much interest regarding a battle of this level.

Even if Cao Feng was a subordinate of the Blood Hawk King, if he was that useless,
then there’s no value in using him.

Those that had to be discarded had to be abandoned.

Up in the sky, Cao Feng also had shock in his eyes as he looked at the enormous
mysterious figure that was walking over.

Torrential waves swept up in his heart and he could feel the blowing pressure.

That pressure was sufficient to indicate that this Sovereign Celestial Body that Mu
Chen had refined was more powerful than his Blood Shadow Celestial Body.

“How is that possible…?!”Cao Feng roared in his heart.

He naturally knew how precious a Sovereign Celestial Body of such a level would be.

Even he had only obtained the cultivation technique for the Blood Shadow Celestial
Body after contributing so much to the Blood Hawk Hall for so many years.

But, right now, Mu Chen had actually cultivated a Sovereign Celestial Body that was
more powerful than his own!“It must have been given to him by Nine Nether!”
Jealousy blazed in Cao Feng’s heart.

He had a complicated feeling for Nine Nether, it was adoration and the feeling of
inferiority.

Back then, when he betrayed the Nine Nether Palace, part of the reason was that he
knew that he could not be matched up to Nine Nether, so he wanted to gamble.

It was precisely so that when he saw Nine Nether bring someone back to the Nine
Nether Palace to replace him, he could not control the raging killing intent in his
heart.

He wanted to prove to Nine Nether that he could not be replaced!“Do you think that
you can defeat me with this Sovereign Celestial Body? What a pipe dream!” Killing
intent surged like waves in Cao Feng’s heart as he ferociously roared and swiftly
formed seals with both of his hand.

Boom!A torrential bloody light violently swept out once again as massive blood
pillars of light shot out from the Blood Shadow Celestial Body.

They looked to be made from fresh blood.

“Sword of the Blood Shadow - Spiritual Slash!”The pillars of light that seemed to
be drenched in blood violently converged together, forming a sword of blood that's
roughly a hundred feet in size.

On the giant sword, there was fresh blood dripping down like a stream.

Whoosh!The giant sword of blood irregularly distorted like a shadow with bizarre
cold fluctuations.

In the next instant, the blood sword rustled and disappeared.

In the sky far away, space abruptly tore apart behind the Great Solar Undying Body
that was formed by Mu Chen and a bloody light that was like a shadow shuttled out.

There weren’t any ripples coming from it as it slashed towards the head of the
Great Solar Undying Body.

Buzz!However, just when that shadow-like blood sword was about to come in contact
with it, a huge hand that was blazing with solar flames stretched forth and grabbed
ahold of the blood sword.

Pssk! Pssk!The colossal hand that was grabbing the blood sword tightened its grip,
causing the blood sword to instantly crumble as fresh blood shot out, then
instantly dissolved into nothing.

Rustle!Countless people between the heavens and earth involuntarily went into an
uproar because no one expected Cao Feng’s bizarre attack to be so easily blocked by
Mu Chen.

“That’s impossible!”Cao Feng couldn’t help roaring out.

His blood sword was refined from the blood of many experts and Spiritual Beasts.

It was substantial and wasn’t inferior to an ordinary Divine Artifact.

But, right now, it was actually destroyed by the hand of Mu Chen’s Sovereign
Celestial Body.

Flames of light surged in the eyes of the Great Solar Undying Body that was formed
by Mu Chen.

It was filled with indifference.

The gaze that he used to look at Cao Feng was like a deity looking at an ant from
high above.

It was when he truly utilised the Great Solar Undying Body that he realised that
there was a sharp increase in the power within his body.

The level of it had far surpassed Cao Feng’s at this moment.

The Great Solar Undying Body was the foundation Sovereign Celestial Body for the
Primordial Immortal Body.

It wasn’t something that ordinary people could understand about how fearful it was.

Boom!Mu Chen’s gaze maintained it’s indifference as he clenched his fist and threw
a fist forth.
Light blossomed as a fist print that was similar to that of a blazing sun whistled
out, piercing through space in a flash and appeared before Cao Feng as he
ruthlessly thrust it out.

Facing the swift attack, Cao Feng could only cross his arms before him to guard
himself.

After that, he felt a dreadful energy exploding from his arms.

Boom!A heavy noise resounded in the horizon as the massive Blood Shadow Celestial
Body was sent back.

Every single step would leave a deep footprint on the ground below.

Boom!The Blood Shadow Celestial Body suddenly stomped on the ground, causing the
earth to crack before he could stabilise his figure.

Cao Feng’s eyes had already been filled with rage and savagery.

Him being beaten back, again and again had raised the killing intent in his heart
to the limit.

“I must definitely kill him!”Cao Feng howled in his heart because he couldn’t
accept losing by Mu Chen’s hands.

He had chased after this strength for years.

It was so much so that he was willing to betray others.

If he were to fail here, wouldn’t that mean that his efforts for all these years
were for nothing?Thus, he must definitely kill Mu Chen!Cao Feng’s eyes grew blood-
red as he raised both of his arms high up.

The scarlet Spiritual Energy was like a tidal wave as it surged forth from his
palms.

This time, there was real blood mixed into that Spiritual Energy.

This was the blood belonging to Cao Feng.

Rustle!The thick rustling of water resounded as a blood-red sphere that was roughly
a hundred feet in size swiftly formed on the palms of the Blood Shadow Celestial
Body.

The surface of the blood sphere was continually wriggling with bloody spikes
extending out and shrinking back in.

A fearful, violent fluctuation quietly spread out in this region.

On the Greatlaw Goldstage, Xu Qing and Zhou Yue had grave expressions at this
moment.

When the blood sphere was in Cao Feng’s hands, they couldn’t help changing their
expressions.

“That fellow is insane!”They involuntarily cursed out as they naturally sensed that
Cao Feng had extracted all the blood in his body.
Clearly, he truly intended to kill, to kill Mu Chen once and for all!But even if he
won, he would require at least half a year of slowly recovery for paying such a
huge price.

In the direction of the Nine Nether Palace, Tang Bing and Tang Rou had clenched
their fists with nervousness covering their faces.

As for Nine Nether, her brows gently knitted since she had belittled the killing
intent Cao Feng had for Mu Chen.

She lightly stretched her body straight and was waiting with her power gathered.

If Mu Chen encountered danger, she would definitely take action.

“Sphere of the Demonic Blood!”Cao Feng roared with a violent rage as the torrential
blood light exploded.

That massive sphere of blood had turned into a red streak of light as it swiftly
made its way towards Mu Chen.

As the red ball travelled, it caused cracks in space.

There were even deep cracks being torn on the earth below.

Mu Chen looked at the ball of demonic blood that was swiftly coming in his
direction.

Facing such an astonishing attack, he did not choose to dodge.

Instead, he clasped both of his hands together.

“Then, I’ll let you experience the true power of the Great Solar Undying Body.

”Murmurs resounded from within Mu Chen’s heart as his gaze turned sharp shortly
after with endless light shooting out from his palms.

In the centre of his palms, there was a blazing sun that could be vaguely seen.

“Palm of Great Solar!”A deep voice rang from within Mu Chen’s heart, and the palms
that contained the blazing sun slapped out.

It had directly penetrated through space as it slammed against the light ball that
held all of the blood in Cao Feng’s body without any fear.

Boom!The two clashed together as light instantly enveloped the heavens and earth.

But countless people had their eyes widened at this moment.

Which of them was stronger in this fight with their lives on the line?
Chapter 692 - Swift Destruction Boom!The terrifying collision exploded in the air
as the endless solar light and scarlet-red light took half the horizon each.

The two ferocious Spiritual Energies violently clashed in an attempt to cancel the
other party out.

Space continually cracked at the point of collision.

This confrontation made the gazes of countless others look on with grave
expressions.
Even the heads of other forces under the Great Havenlaw Domain had their
expressions changed after looking at this scene.

Everyone had their attention focused on the collision and knew that this clash
should determine the winner.

In the Nine Nether Palace, Tang Bing and Tang Rou had their beautiful eyes widened
with their fists clenched to the point that they were a little pale.

Things had already reached this far, they were just a step away from victory.

If he failed, it would make others feel that it was a great pity.

Tang Rou unceasingly prayed in a soft voice.

Tang Bing was biting her red lips and did not blink her eyes.

Under the countless amounts of attention, the horrifying clash was still in a
deadlock.

When Cao Feng saw this situation, his face grew even more ugly.

He had already fought to such an extent, and he still couldn’t defeat Mu Chen in a
single blow.

“This bastard!”Cao Feng’s eyes were red, like a gambler that had bet everything.

He viciously stared at Mu Chen as he abruptly stomped his feet once again, pouring
all the Spiritual Energy within his body without reservation.

Along with that was the remaining blood in his body.

If one could see his figure within the Sovereign Celestial Body, they would realise
that Cao Feng was no different from a corpse and looked extremely terrifying.

Boom!Affected by Cao Feng’s counterattack with all he had, the scarlet light
instantly grew.

In an instant, even the light showed faint signs of being suppressed.

Everyone between the heavens and earth cried out in surprise.

Behind the endless light, the Great Solar Undying Body that was formed by Mu Chen
was looking at Cao Feng’s retaliation without any ripples in his eyes, then built
seals with both of his hands shortly after.

Boom!Within the light palms, the sun seemed to have expanded as a brilliant light
swept out.

The solar flames on the palm soared in an instant.

“Great Solar Exterminating Demon!”Mu Chen’s deep voice rang out in this horizon as
the palms that contained the blazing sun whistled down with the flames expanding.

The torrential bloody light that had sharply increased was instantly burnt by the
solar flames in the blink of an eye.

The solar palms slammed down as they grabbed the blood-red light ball that had the
blood of Cao Feng and abruptly clenched.

Bang!A shattering noise resounded as that blood ball was directly destroyed by Mu
Chen.

Before the violent energy in it explode, the solar flames had already swept out and
burnt it until nothing remained.

Up in the sky, the bloody light was instantly erased.

Dense fear surged from Cao Feng’s eyes as the Blood Shadow Celestial Body that was
swiftly dulling down turned around and fled.

He had already understood the fact that the current him could not defeat Mu Chen.

Mu Chen’s gaze was indifferent as he looked at Cao Feng’s escaping figure.

He waved his sleeve.

A light palm penetrated through space and fell onto the Blood Shadow Celestial
Body.

Boom!A heart-alarming noise rang out as the Blood Shadow Celestial Body that was
formed by Cao Feng instantly exploded, turning into bloody rain as it fell down and
dyed the ground in red.

When the bloody rain fell, a dull scarlet light frantically shuttled out.

A chill flashed across Mu Chen’s eyes as the light palm ruthlessly slapped out,
making a grab for that dulled bloody light.

Clearly, he wasn’t going to let Cao Feng off so easily.

The bloody light that was formed by Cao Feng was inferior to Mu Chen in regards to
speed with his current state of heavy injuries.

Thus, in the blink of an eye, that light palm had already appeared above him and
mercilessly slammed down.

Dense fear instantly surged from Cao Feng’s eyes.

Everyone’s hearts jolted at this sight.

Although the age of this new Domain Lord of the Nine Nether Palace was young, his
methods were somewhat ruthless.

Judging from the looks now, he was clearly trying to hit a dog while it’s down.

“Stop!”Just when Mu Chen’s light palm was about to hit Cao Feng, in the direction
of the Blood Hawk Hall, the Blood Hawk King, who was paying attention to the fight,
roared out with a dark expression.

Hearing his roar, Mu Chen paid no attention and increased his speed instead.

“Impudent!”The Blood Hawk King’s face was thoroughly darkened.

Although Cao Feng had disappointed him so much, he was still someone from the Blood
Hawk Hall, after all.
If he was crippled by Mu Chen before he, the Blood Hawk King, it would be
equivalent to slapping the face of his Blood Hawk Hall.

It was something that he absolutely couldn’t tolerate, especially when he saw Mu

Chen ignoring him.

His rage surged.

“Arrogant brat with your nose in the air! Let this king teach you the meaning of
modesty!”The Blood Hawk King slapped the armrest, turning the throne into dust as
his figure moved, and appeared in the sky.

A scarlet feather pierced through space in a rustle as it flew towards the

Sovereign Celestial Body formed by Mu Chen with lightning speed.

Whoosh!That scarlet feather pierced through space.

In an instant, it made Mu Chen feel a chill in his heart.

Although the blood feather didn’t look powerful, the terrifying Spiritual Energy
fluctuations in it far surpassed his own.

A Fifth Grade Sovereign was something that Mu Chen could not contend against, even
though he possessed the Great Solar Undying Body.

Mu Chen’s gaze slightly flickered and he did an astonishing act shortly after.

He was actually not bothered with Blood Hawk King’s attack.

The light palm was still slamming towards Cao Feng with ferocity.

At the sight of this, the Blood Hawk King’s gaze instantly turned cold.

Since that’s the case, then you can be crippled together with Cao Feng.

Buzz!The blood feather penetrated through space and directly appeared behind Mu
Chen.

However, just when it was about to strike Mu Chen, a feather that was blazing with
purple flames had also torn through space and was about to clash with the blood
feather.

Boom!The two feathers clashed.

There wasn’t any violent Spiritual Energy that exploded, the both of them cancelled
each other out as they swiftly dulled in lustre and disappeared.

“Someone of my Nine Nether Palace doesn’t require your Blood Hawk Hall to teach a
lesson to!”When the two attacks cancelled out, a cold and crisp voice had also
resounded between these heavens and earth as well.

Countless people turned their heads over and saw Nine Nether standing by herself
before the throne.

She had a cool and elegant appearance as her hair fluttered with purple flames
blazing around her.

This gave others a feeling of stunning beauty, as well as prestige.

Blood Hawk King stood on the sky as he coldly looked at Nine Nether.

He smiled from rage.

“What a great tone.

Having not seen you for years, Nine Nether, your temper is getting from bad to
worse.

”“If you can’t swallow this, then fight.

You have not been pleasing to my eyes for a long time.

If I dispose of you, I can just incorporate your Blood Hawk Hall into my Nine
Nether Palace.

” The corner of Nine Nether’s lips rose as she spoke.

“Incorporate my Blood Hawk Hall? Okay, show me what you are capable of.

I’ll see how capable are you to say such words!!” Blood Hawk King laughed from
anger.

“Arghhh!”However, just when Blood Hawk King finished his words, a shriek suddenly
rang out.

Mu Chen’s palm had already slammed onto Cao Feng without any reservation.

The latter’s chest sunk in as he spewed blood.

His body was like a bird with broken wings as he fell.

Whoosh! Whoosh!When Cao Feng was falling, two gales swept past and severed both of
his arms.

On the spot, another miserable shriek rang out once again.

Boom!Cao Feng heavily fell onto the ground, causing the earth to cave in with his
body lying in it.

Fresh blood flowed as his aura became weak.

It was unclear if he was still alive.

Hisss.

Countless people silently sucked in a chilled breath as they looked at Mu Chen with
slight fearful gazes.

The ruthless means that the latter had displayed made even them who had experienced
hundreds of battles feel a chill in their hearts.

Although the age of that youth wasn’t big, his methods weren’t small.

Up in the sky, the Great Solar Undying Body that was formed by Mu Chen had
dissipated as he revealed his body.

His gaze was coldly looking at Cao Feng, whose death was unclear, as he spoke in a
faint voice, “This is what you owe to the Nine Nether Palace.
In the future, you are not related to the Nine Nether Palace in any way.

”Pfft.

Cao Feng, who was already in a weak state at this moment, spurted out a mouthful of
blood after hearing Mu Chen’s words.

His sight went black, and he fainted.

The entire heavens and earth were silent.

After that, cheers abruptly rang out from the Nine Nether Palace’s direction.

Every single one of the Nine Nether Troop had excitement on their faces with their
eyes turning red.

All these years, Cao Feng’s betrayal had been a thorn in their hearts.

In the Great Havenlaw Domain, many people mocked them because of this, and they
could only endure it.

But today, all grudges were cleared up with the arrival of the new Domain Lord, Mu
Chen.

At this point in time, they were utterly convinced that the new Domain Lord brought
back by Lord Nine Nether was indeed stronger than Cao Feng and was more convincing.

“Big Sister, Mu Chen won!” Tang Rou grabbed onto Tang Bing’s arm as she said with
delight.

Tang Bing held a smile on her rosy lips as her beautiful eyes became filled with
delight as well.

She looked at the figure in the sky and slightly pouted her lips.

Fortunately, that fellow did not disappoint them.

Otherwise, she definitely wouldn’t let him off so lightly.

When the Nine Nether Palace’s cheers trembled the skies, the Blood Hawk King, who
was in the sky, had such a dark face that it looked like water would drip from his
face at any time.

He eerily stared at Mu Chen.

“What a ruthless brat!”Dreadful killing intent swept out from his body and pressed
towards Mu Chen like a mountain.

Clearly, he had raised the intention to kill Mu Chen in his heart.

Sensing that lofting killing intent, Mu Chen’s expression slightly changed.

The strength of a Fifth Grade Sovereign was indeed powerful.

Rustle.

When the killing intent surged over, a breezy fragrance blew as well.
Nine Nether’s slender figure appeared before Mu Chen as her hair fluttered,
withstanding the killing intent for Mu Chen.

Nine Nether’s face was cold as she clenched her fist.

Purple flames that were like snakes were slithering towards the centre of her fist.

She slowly raised her slender eyes and coldly stared at the Blood Hawk King as her
cold voice resounded in the sky.

“If you’re not convinced, then let me accompany you in a fight.

”
Chapter 693 - Ascending the Peak Everyone raised their heads to look up in the sky,
where dense killing intent was spreading out.

Affected by the killing intent, the temperature between the heavens and earth had
abruptly dropped.

It was the killing intent of two Kings.

Up in the sky, Nine Nether and the Blood Hawk King faced off, both with icy
expressions.

The grudges between those two went way back, and neither party found the other
party pleasing to the eye.

If it wasn’t for the fact that the both of them were Kings of the Great Havenlaw
Domain, they might have already been unable to hold back and fight for blood.

But judging from the current situation, the two of them didn’t seem to be able to
suppress the killing intent in their hearts any longer.

“I have always wanted to experience how formidable the Nine Nether Bird Clan is.

I would love to give it a try today.

” The Blood Hawk King darkly said as ferocity surged in his eyes.

As he spoke, the scarlet-red light around him expanded into a violent tornado,
covered with violent and vast Spiritual Energy fluctuations.

It was like a series of blades as it wreaked havoc across the heavens and earth.

“Then come and try.

” Nine Nether replied with a cold smile.

Purple flames abruptly surged around her and her hair fluttered in the purple
flames as a terrifying temperature spread out.

When everyone saw the two of them, their faces couldn’t help slightly changing.

If Nine Nether and the Blood Hawk King were to fight here, the effect definitely
wouldn’t be something that a battle between the Domain Lords could be compared to.

The Domain Lord position was still not the cornerstone of the Great Havenlaw
Domain.
Only those whose strength was similar to the Blood Hawk King and Nine Nether could
be a central pillar.

“Enough!”Just when the two of them were facing off, a bark rang out as ripples
similar to the gentle wind swept out.

When it swept out, the violent Spiritual Energy fluctuations around Nine Nether and
the Blood Hawk King were suppressed into their body.

Countless people directed their gazes over and saw Sky Vulture Emperor frowning his
brows as he looked at the two people.

He said in a solemn voice, “Have the both of you forgotten the rules of the Great
Havenlaw Domain?”In the Great Havenlaw Domain, the frictions between factions
forbade the Kings from acting, only their subordinates were allowed to act.

That way, they could continue the competitions while preserving the existence of
Kings.

When Blood Hawk King saw that the Sky Vulture Emperor had taken action, he knew
that he couldn’t do anything to Nine Nether today.

He cast a glance at Cao Feng, who was practically crippled, and couldn’t swallow
this anger down.

His gaze was cold as he looked at Mu Chen.

“Cao Feng was already defeated, but that Mu Chen was so ruthless.

I feel that we should remove his qualifications.

”Hearing his words, Mu Chen’s gaze turned cold as well.

“Dream on!” Nine Nether coldly laughed, “Blood Hawk King, are you perhaps a dotard?
As long as no one admits defeat in this competition, the battle will still
continue.

Although Cao Feng was heavily injured, even if he was killed, he could only blame
himself and not others!”“Then it’s impossible if you want my Blood Hawk Hall to
swallow this!” Blood Hawk King opposed.

Seeing the dispute between those two, the Sky Vulture Emperor frowned his brows,
while Spiritual Pupils Emperor faintly smiled next to him said, “I think that we
should first remove Mu Chen to calm Blood Hawk King’s rage.

In the future, we will find ways to compensate him.

”Mu Chen’s face changed.

His objective was the Greatlaw Goldpond, and now that he had finally reached here,
how could he give it up? The so-called “compensation” was illusory, and he could
not trust it.

Although he was a little furious in his heart, Mu Chen wasn’t reckless enough to
express anything at this moment.

Right now, his position in the Great Havenlaw Domain was still too low.

There was no need to provoke trouble for Nine Nether just because he was angered
for the moment.

The Sky Vulture Emperor frowned his brows.

“If that’s the case, then who will participate in the Greatlaw Goldpond in the
future?”“Haha, are lacking in those that want to enter the Greatlaw Goldpond?” The
Spiritual Pupils Emperor smiled.

Hearing the two dispute, Sleeping Emperor, who rarely spoke, faintly smiled.

“Old rules, continue.

”The Sky Vulture Emperor and the Spiritual Pupils Emperor were briefly stunned.

For all these years, the Sleeping Emperor rarely joined in their disputes.

It was rare for him to take the initiative to speak.

Furthermore, judging from the Sleeping Emperor’s words, he was evidently helping Mu
Chen.

A smear of darkness flashed in the depths of Spiritual Pupils Emperor’s eyes.

Although he was also one of the three Emperors, he knew how unfathomable the
Sleeping Emperor was.

The crucial point was that the Sleeping Emperor was the most trusted aide of the
Domain Lord.

Thus, it was best if he didn’t refute the words of the Sleeping Emperor, so he
smiled on the spot.

“Since Brother Meng has already said so, then we will continue as according to the
rules.

”The Blood Hawk King’s face grew pale and no longer dared to speak anymore.

He gave Mu Chen an eerie snort as he waved his sleeve, turned around and descended
from the sky.

Nine Nether was also a little astonished as she cast a glance at the Sleeping
Emperor.

She gratefully nodded her head towards him, before shifting her gaze to Mu Chen.

“Your performance is pretty good.

But you will have to depend on yourself to see what opportunity awaits you in the
Greatlaw Goldpond.

”Mu Chen nodded his head.

Seeing his response, Nine Nether no longer spoke, turned around and descended.

Looking at Nine Nether’s leaving silhouette, Mu Chen turned his head over and
respectfully cupped his fist towards the Sky Vulture Emperor and the Sleeping
Emperor before descending towards the Greatlaw Goldstage.

Several gazes were firmly fixed on Mu Chen’s descending figure on the Greatlaw
Goldstage.

Xu Qing and Zhou Yue’s gazes were filled with shock.

The strength that Mu Chen had previously displayed must have made them feel
somewhat fearful.

Although they were stronger than Cao Feng, if they were to fight with the latter
with their lives on the line, it could also cause quite a bit of trouble for them.

However, Mu Chen could bear all of that.

Just this point alone was sufficient to pull Mu Chen into the same rank as them.

When Mu Chen landed on the Greatlaw Goldstage, there were still violent
fluctuations of Spiritual Energy exploding from far away.

After that, a miserable figure flew out, swiftly retreating while drawing a line on
the ground.

Mu Chen appeared behind that figure and placed his hand on the figure’s shoulder,
helping him to dissolve the power.

That figure turned his head over, it was Fang Lei.

His face was pale and he bitterly smiled while looking at Mu Chen.

Earlier, when Mu Chen fought with Cao Feng, he had also fought with Wu Tian.

But evidently, he lost in the end.

Up ahead, light converged as Wu Tian appeared.

His gaze was somewhat eerie as he looked at Mu Chen.

But this time, there was a little fear in the depths of his eyes.

Earlier, when he fought with Fang Lei, he had also paid attention to Cao Feng’s
fight, and the extraordinary fighting strength that Mu Chen had displayed was
sufficient to make him feel fearful.

Wu Tian wasn’t an idiot.

Otherwise, he wouldn’t become the highest regarded Domain Lord by the Blood Hawk
King.

So, right now, he had redrawn all the contempt he had for Mu Chen and truly treated
Mu Chen as an opponent of equal level to him.

“I have lost, Brother Mu Chen.

I hope that you can reap some benefits from the Greatlaw Goldpond.

” Fang Lei was also straightforward as he smiled towards Mu Chen and retreated from
the Greatlaw Goldstage.

Although he was unhappy with Wu Tian, he knew that he had lost due to being
incomparable to others.
Thus, he did not recklessly seek help from Mu Chen.

Mu Chen watched him leave before calmly returning to his spot.

Although he also found Wu Tian unpleasing to the eyes, he knew that this wasn’t a
good time to continue fighting.

Previously, when he fought with Cao Feng, he had already exhausted a considerable
amount of Spiritual Energy.

Right now, he wasn’t in his best condition, so there wasn’t a need to risk it.

After all, the four qualifications have already been determined right now.

Wu Tian also did not mock Mu Chen and returned with a dark expression.

He originally wanted to take the chance to challenge Zhou Yue to move his ranking
forward.

But he never expected for Mu Chen to suddenly appear.

Thus, he did not request a fight, in case it benefitted Mu Chen instead.

The four people stood on the four corners of the Greatlaw Goldstage.

Every single one of them was quiet without a single word, minding their own
business.

Countless people were looking at the four figures on the Greatlaw Goldstage.

They were a little stirred at this moment and knew that those four were the Four
Great Domain Lords of the Great Havenlaw Domain.

Aside from the new dark horse, Mu Chen, the remaining three were the old ones.

As the atmosphere in the Greatlaw Goldstage calmed down, the three Emperors
exchanged a glance up in the sky as Sky Vulture Emperor’s old voice resonated
throughout the heavens and earth.

“The four qualifications for the Greatlaw Goldpond has been determined.

Now, accept the golden talisman.

”“Asura Hall, Xu Qing!”Hearing Sky Vulture Emperor’s voice, Xu Qing calmly took a
step forth as a golden light descended from the sky, turning into a golden talisman
and fell into Xu Qing’s hand.

“Mountain Splitting Palace, Zhou Yue!”“Blood Hawk Hall, Wu Tian!”The two of them
took a step forth as a golden light shrouded them and the golden talismans
descended.

Sky Vulture Emperor’s gaze fell onto Mu Chen in the end as a smile appeared on his
aged face.

“Nine Nether Palace, Mu Chen.

”Mu Chen took a step forth as golden light converged together and formed into a
golden talisman, in the end.
Within the golden talisman, there seemed to be a bizarre fluctuation being emitted.

The origin of that fluctuation appeared to be coming from the peak of the mountain.

It was the location of the Greatlaw Goldpond.

“From today onwards, the four of you will become the new Four Great Domain Lords of
our Great Havenlaw Domain.

”When the Sky Vulture Emperor’s voice rang out, cheers that could topple mountains
and overturn seas exploded in an instant.

No matter what, the four of them were the best amongst the younger generation of
the Great Havenlaw Domain.

Their strength obtained the acknowledgement of everyone.

Hearing the cheers, Sky Vulture Emperor faintly smiled as he looked at the peak of
the Goldpond Peak.

The golden light in that area was still continually flowing down.

But this time, the golden current had moved around the four of them.

“Now, you guys can ascend the peak.

”Along with the Sky Vulture Emperor waving his hand, the gazes of Mu Chen and the
other three instantly turned heated as they stomped their feet, their figure flying
away.

Under the countless envious gazes, they charged into the golden current, turning
onto streaks of light as they made their way towards the summit of the majestic
Goldpond Peak!The Greatlaw Goldpond has finally been opened for them!
Chapter 694 - Entering the Greatlaw Goldpond Summit of the Goldpond PeakGolden
light was spreading out and, looking over, the pupils were dyed in a gold colour as
the golden current poured down, emitting a dreadful pressure.

Mu Chen’s figure landed on the mountain.

When his feet land, it was a firm sensation as if it was forged with diamonds.

He looked up ahead in astonishment.

The central region was covered with dazzling golden light.

It was so much so that it was piercing to the eyes.

The golden current in the entire Goldpond Peak came from there.

When the golden current rushed out, it avoided Mu Chen.

He tapped his feet, and his figure flew out a thousand feet, which followed with a
vast golden lake that appeared in his sight.

The golden lake looked like it was filled with a golden liquid and the thick lake
water was rolling.

Occasionally, golden bubbles would rise and explode in the end.

Also, when they blew, golden currents would sweep out.

“This is the Greatlaw Goldpond?”Mu Chen was a little startled as he looked at this
golden lake.

Although the lake seemed calm on the surface, for some reason, Mu Chen felt a heavy
sense of danger, as if the golden lake before him was a ferocious beast.

Since the Greatlaw Goldpond had a divine ability to refine the Sovereign Celestial
Body, it probably wasn’t ordinary.

Whoosh.

Three screeches of wind resounded as Xu Qing, Zhou Yue and Wu Tian also landed all
around.

Their gazes were a little heated as they looked at the lake before them that was
emitting golden light.

The Sovereign Celestial Body was a vital means of Sovereign experts, and this
Greatlaw Goldpond before them could refine the Sovereign Celestial Body and make it
even stronger.

Such temptation was undoubtedly attractive to them who had just stepped into the
Sovereign Realm.

“The Greatlaw Goldpond is already open, the four of you will enter respectively.

In the Greatlaw Goldpond, the water is millions of pounds in weight.

The lower you go, the more terrifying the pressure will be.

So you are not allowed to force your way down.

Otherwise, you will bear the consequences yourself.

”“It will depend on your luck if you can refine the Daluo Golden Body of legend.

You must not force it.

”When Mu Chen and the other three reached the edge of the Greatlaw Goldpond, the
Sky Vulture Emperor’s solemn voice rang out like surging thunder.

When the four of them heard his words, they nodded their heads in acknowledgement.

“Haha, guys, we will see which of us has a better opportunity.

” Xu Qing smiled towards Mu Chen and the other two.

After that, there wasn’t any hesitation as he tapped his feet and turned into a
streak of light, then shot into the Greatlaw Goldpond.

There weren’t any splashes on the surface of the lake when his body went in.

From the looks of it, it was as if he had entered a bottomless lake that was heart-
alarming.

Behind Xu Qing, Zhou Yue and Wu Tian also followed him without any hesitation.
When Mu Chen saw the three people disappearing into the Greatlaw Goldpond, he
inhaled a deep breath as the Spiritual Energy in his body quietly surged.

After that, he turned into a streak of light and entered the Greatlaw Goldpond.

Plop.

When he entered the Greatlaw Goldpond, the fine plopping noise resounded in Mu
Chen’s ears.

Shortly after, his pupils were filled with golden light, which was followed by the
powerful energy that surged from all directions in an attempt to crush him to bits.

Boom!Lightning was instantly unleashed from the surface of Mu Chen’s body, and his
entire body turned into lightning.

Evidently, he had raised the Lightning God’s Physique to the limit.

Shortly after, he tapped his feet and his figure was like a fish, swiftly swimming
down the Greatlaw Goldpond.

In the Greatlaw Goldpond, it was evident that the benefits would be better the
deeper it was.

But also, the deeper it was, the pressure would also be even more terrifying.

If one’s ability wasn’t sufficient, rashly heading down was courting death.

Rustle!Mu Chen’s figure swiftly streaked across the thick golden light that brought
along a fine watery noise, his figure was continuously moving downwards.

Golden light filled the surroundings.

In this Greatlaw Goldpond, even the senses were suppressed to the lowest degree.

In the outside world, Mu Chen could clearly sense any aura within a hundred miles.

But in this place, it was barely even ten feet.

Tsk! Tsk!The lightning twisting around the surface of Mu Chen’s body was gradually
slowing down the deeper he went.

It was because the pressure coming from the surroundings was getting more and more
powerful, even if he had pushed the Lightning God’s Physique to the limits, he
could still feel the stinging pain on his skin.

When that pressure surged over, Mu Chen could sense strands of golden light
endlessly surging into his body.

It was a very peculiar energy.

When the golden light passed through, Mu Chen could sense his muscles, bones and
even his blood gradually boiling up, as if it was being refined in the furnace.

“What a mysterious and fearsome Greatlaw Goldpond.

”Mu Chen sighed in his heart.

With the Lightning God’s Physique, he could only dive to roughly 200 feet.
That pressure was indeed a little fearsome.

“Looks like I can only summon the Sovereign Celestial Body.

”Mu Chen formed seals with both of his hands as a surging Spiritual Energy gale
exploded from his body.

Even the golden liquid around him was pushed out as a massive light figure appeared
around him, enveloping him within.

With the appearance of the Great Solar Undying Body, the pressure that had
enveloped Mu Chen instantly disappeared.

He issued a faint smile and, using his mind, the Great Solar Undying Body dived at
a swift speed once again.

After bringing out the Great Solar Undying Body, Mu Chen’s diving speed was clearly
much faster.

As he got deeper, Mu Chen was able to sense that the golden energy that was surging
in his direction got thicker as well.

When that golden energy came in contact with the Sovereign Celestial Body, Mu Chen
strangely sensed that the buzzing noise was actually being emitted from the
Sovereign Celestial Body.

From the looks of it, it was similar to a starving person seeing gourmet food
before him and greedily devouring it.

Strands of golden light were frantically devoured by the Sovereign Celestial Body
that drifted on the surface of the massive Sovereign Celestial Body.

Mu Chen still continued to make his way down.

When he dived to roughly around 800 feet, he gradually came to a stop.

Even with the Great Solar Undying Body, he felt a slightly faint pressure.

Mu Chen looked around, his pupils were dyed in gold as he willed in his mind and
the Great Solar Undying Body sat down.

The golden energy here was very thick and was sufficient for him to use for his
cultivation.

The Sky Vulture Emperor’s earlier reminders were engraved in his heart.

This Greatlaw Goldpond wasn’t ordinary, purely going deeper down was probably not
too wise of a decision.

“Let’s cultivate here, then.

”The large hands of the Great Solar Undying Body slowly formed seals.

As it breathed, there was a thunderous booming that rang out.

As Mu Chen entered into his cultivation state, the blazing sun behind the head of
the Great Solar Undying Body had actually started to quietly spin.
Boom! Boom!When the sun spun, the golden lake water in this region seemed to have
been awakened and was endlessly pouring over in a current.

In the end, it was refined by the great sun and absorbed by the Great Solar Undying
Body.

The lake water of this Greatlaw Goldpond was as heavy as a mountain, with bizarre
energy contained within it.

Trying to separate it wasn’t an easy task, many people had come here but was only
able to refine, bit-by-bit, by using their Spiritual Energy.

But Mu Chen’s devouring speed was sufficient to leave many people scared silly.

Under this speed, a faint layer of golden light appeared on the surface of Mu
Chen’s massive Sovereign Celestial Body.

On the celestial body, there were strands of golden light drifting as it swelled,
bit-by-bit.

Outside the Greatlaw Goldpond, everyone was looking at the summit that was covered
in golden light.

Many people had dense envy in their eyes.

After all, the power of the Greatlaw Goldpond was significantly attractive to the
majority the Sovereigns.

In the sky stood the three Emperors with four golden talismans that were linked to
the talismans Mu Chen and the other three had, mutually interacting.

At this moment, the four golden talismans were emitting a golden light that was
slowly getting stronger.

The three Emperors looked at the four golden talismans.

Generally speaking, the deeper it was, the amount of the Goldpond’s power being
absorbed would also be stronger, and the light emitted by the golden talisman would
also become stronger.

But, clearly, only the deeper depths had more significant benefits.

“Looks like the Four Great Domain Lords this time are a little stronger compared to
the previous ones.

Right now, their location should be within 500 to 1000 feet.

” The Sky Vulture Emperor looked at the lights on the four golden talismans and
couldn’t help smiling.

The Sleeping Emperor had also opened his eyes a little and shut them once again as
he muttered, “Looks like no one can dip their finger onto the golden body again.

”The Sky Vulture Emperor and the Spiritual Pupils Emperor helplessly smiled.

That demand was a little too high.

According to their estimations for all these years, one would have to at least dive
down two thousand feet to refine the Daluo Golden Body.
Only by making use of the pressure and pure energy of the Goldpond could they
refine the Daluo Golden Body.

But it was a pity that the number of those that could dive to such depths could be
counted with one hand.

“Let’s just take a look.

After all, it has not come to an end yet.

” The Sky Vulture Emperor said.

The Sleeping Emperor nodded his head without a single word.

The Spiritual Pupils Emperor suddenly looked at the Sleeping Emperor and said,
“Brother Meng, I wonder if there’s any news of the Domain Ruler? The time for the
great hunt is getting close.

”The Sleeping Emperor shook his head with a smile, “Brother Spiritual Pupils, rest
assured.

The Domain Ruler will surely appear when there’s a need for it.

”Hearing his reply, the Spiritual Pupils Emperor could only smile and no longer
spoke.

The three Emperors turned silent as their gazes stared at the four golden
talismans.

But clearly, their interest was a little low, since there wasn’t any matter that
could light their eyes occurring.

Was this batch of Four Great Domain Lords still unable to reach that level?
Chapter 695 - 2000 Fee tRustle.

In the depths of the Greatlaw GoldpondA massive light figure quietly sat as the
thick golden liquid was slowly flowing and endlessly poured towards that light
figure.

Behind the head of the light figure, there was a blazing sun spinning with solar
flames being emitted that refined the golden liquid.

In the end, it was turned into stands of golden light and was absorbed.

As more and more golden liquid was being refined, the strands of golden light
drifting on the surface of the massive light figure also swelled up.

Vaguely, those golden strands of light were like small snakes as they clung onto
the massive figure.

When those golden snakes moved, there was a faint golden light left behind, along
with bizarre energy being emitted, making this Sovereign Celestial Body seem more
congeal.

This Sovereign Celestial Body was Mu Chen’s Great Solar Undying Body.

Right now, Mu Chen was seated within the Great Solar Undying Body.
He slowly opened his shut eyes and looked at those golden snakes that were drifting
on the surface of the Sovereign Celestial Body.

In his perception, the Goldpond energy that he had absorbed was turned into a total
of eight golden snakes.

Those eight golden snakes clung onto the surface of the Sovereign Celestial Body.

Whenever they moved, it would cause a heated sensation as the Spiritual Energy
became exceedingly lively or even boiling.

Mu Chen knew that when he refined those eight snakes, the might of his Great Solar
Undying Body would become stronger.

However… Mu Chen lightly frowned his brows because this sort of strengthening
wasn’t what he expected.

He was still too far away from the so-called “Daluo Golden Body”.

Mu Chen sunk into his thoughts.

Although the power of the Goldpond energy was already extremely vigorous, it was
still clearly impossible to form the Daluo Golden Body here.

Mu Chen’s gaze lightly flickered.

After that, his gaze started to shift towards the deeper region of the Greatlaw
Goldpond.

It was still dazzling in gold, and the depths could not be seen.

The deep feeling that it gave off made others feel fear in their hearts.

After entering the Greatlaw Goldpond, Mu Chen understood how terrifying the
pressure was in this area.

If it wasn’t for the Great Solar Undying Body, it wouldn’t be possible for him to
come this far with his strength of First Grade Sovereign.

But, right now, even this place could not satisfy Mu Chen.

He knew that his motive for entering the Greatlaw Goldpond wasn’t to just merely
refine his Sovereign Celestial Body.

His ambition was higher than anyone else’s.

Because he needed the strength.

Mu Chen’s gaze flickered as he inhaled a deep breath, and his gaze gradually turned
cold.

He firmly believed that there wasn’t any strength that gratuitously arrived.

Since he wanted to obtain power, then he would have the pay the corresponding price
for it.

If a Daluo Golden Body would make him helpless, then what would he do in the future
when he encountered even steeper situations? Would he continue to run?If that’s the
case, perhaps he might never be able to fulfil his promise with that girl.
Mu Chen no longer hesitated as he abruptly formed some seals with both of his
hands.

The Sovereign Celestial Body jolted as it swiftly flew towards the depths of the
Greatlaw Golpond.

Rustle!The massive Sovereign Celestial Body tyrannically tore through the golden
lake water.

Powerful Spiritual Energy fluctuated as it resisted the terrifying pressure from

the lake water that was coming from all directions.

100 feet… 200 feet…In barely ten breath’s time, Mu Chen had already descended
roughly 400 feet.

Right now, he was somewhere around 1,200 feet below.

As he continued to dive, Mu Chen also sensed the surging pressure increasing

several folds.

That pressure was similar to mountains continuously being overlaid on one another.

But facing that pressure, there wasn’t any hesitation in Mu Chen as he continued to
dive downwards!The spiritual light of the Sovereign Celestial Body was already
suppressed back into the body from the terrifying pressure.

Even with Mu Chen being protected within the Sovereign Celestial Body, he felt a
faint stinging pain.

“1,500 feet…”Mu Chen clenched his teeth as his skin gradually turned red.

But there wasn’t any cowardice in his black pupils, it was even more blazing and
firm as he sensed that the Goldpond energy in the depths of the Greatlaw Goldpond
was dense to a terrifying extent.

Only in that depth can he refine the Daluo Golden Body.

Still not enough!Mu Chen’s eyes turned red as he controlled the Great Solar Undying
Body to continue its descent.

Reaching that depth, every 10 feet down, the pressure would frantically overlay.

Even if Mu Chen had the Great Solar Undying Body, his descending speed also became
slower and slower, as if he was in a swamp.

This time, a full half an hour passed and Mu Chen was not even 100 feet down.

Also, the pressure from this short 100 feet had actually caused the Great Solar
Undying Body to shrink by a lot.

The dazzling spiritual light was slightly dulled at this moment.

But Mu Chen did not give up.

His black pupils were directed at a deeper location as he allowed drops of fresh
blood to ooze from his reddened skin.

The thick golden lake water tyrannically tore apart as the Sovereign Celestial Body
continued to descend.

Another 100 feet… 150 feet… 200 feet……Outside the Goldpond PeakEvery single gaze
was directed at the four golden talismans.

However, the three Emperors wore ordinary expressions.

In the past, the Greatlaw Goldpond had been opened numerous times, and they had
seen such similar calm situations many times.

Thus, it was insufficient to cause any ripples to them.

After all, in their eyes, as long as there wasn’t anyone that had successfully
refined the Daluo Golden Body, any level was the same to them.

There wasn’t any difference in level and the difference was, at most, only fifty to
a hundred steps.

Buzz!While the three Emperors were indifferent, one of the golden talismans amongst
the four suddenly became dazzling.

The golden light spread out, covering the light coming from the three other golden
talismans.

Although the lights on the three other golden talismans were also continually
getting stronger, compared to the fourth golden talisman, they weren’t worth
mentioning.

Everyone in this region was more or less astonished by this scene as an uproar
broke out soon after.

They probably knew what the intense light from the fourth golden talisman meant.

That light represented that someone was trying to break through towards the depths
of the Greatlaw Goldpond.

Golden light poured into the eyes of the three Emperors.

The gazes of the three Emperors abruptly narrowed, even the Sleeping Emperor had
his eyes narrowed as he stared at the dazzling golden talisman.

“Someone is dashing towards the depths of the Greatlaw Goldpond!” The Sky Vulture
Emperor exclaimed.

“From the brilliance, he must be getting close to 2000 feet.

” Even the Spiritual Pupils Emperor was a little startled.

He clearly knew how much pressure there was at 2000 feet below the Greatlaw
Goldpond.

At that place, even a Sovereign whose cultivation had reached the Third Grade would
not be able to endure it, and the cultivation of those four that entered had
evidently not reached that height yet.

“Who is it?” Their faces were filled with astonishment.

With the Greatlaw Goldpond covering them, they could not tell who was so daring and
was actually charging towards the depth of 2000 feet with their strength.
“Looks like the ambition of this person isn’t small.

” The Sleeping Emperor smiled with some interest.

Judging from the looks of it, this person is aiming for the Daluo Golden Body.

In the long years of the Great Havenlaw Domain, the amount of those that could
achieve that could be counted with one hand.

“I just fear that his heart is loftier than the sky.

” The Spiritual Pupils Emperor spoke after a brief ponder.

The Sky Vulture Emperor had also frowned his brows.

It was good to have ambition, but at times, one must know his limits.

The danger in the Greatlaw Goldpond was sufficient to destroy any of those four.

If they were too stubborn, they would only trap themselves within it.

“It’s been a long time since something like this has happened.

Let us see if there will be any surprises.

” The Sleeping Emperor faintly smiled as he stared at the golden talisman that was
becoming more and more dazzling.

Down below, Tang Bing and Tang Rou were nervously looking at the dazzling golden
talisman as they softly said to Nine Nether, “Big Sister Nine Nether, that can’t be
Mu Chen, right?”Although Mu Chen’s strength was only First Grade Sovereign and it
didn’t seem possible for him to achieve this step, based on their feelings, those
girls felt that this might probably be linked to Mu Chen.

Nine Nether looked at the golden talisman.

A charming smile appeared on her cool and elegant face as she lightly nodded her
head.

“It should be him.

”Although her voice was soft, there was great self-confidence contained within.

Among those four, the strength of Xu Qing and the rest was the strongest.

However, their strength was still insufficient for them to reach the depth of 2000
feet.

Only that fellow Mu Chen had many means concealed up his sleeve.

Thus, it was highly possible for him to do something so unexpected.

“Let me see what level will you achieve…” Nine Nether curled her lips as she
muttered to herself.

Countless gazes focused on the golden talisman as the brilliance was getting
stronger and stronger.
Roughly half an hour later, that light was similar to a blazing golden sun.

That light had thoroughly covered the lights of the other three golden talismans.

Every single gaze had a smear of astonishment surging at this moment.

The gazes of the three Emperors had also gradually turned to graveness and
astonishment from the initial indifference.

Buzz!A buzzing sound suddenly came from the golden talisman.

Shortly after, the golden talisman seemed like it could not endure any longer and
exploded with golden light that was tens of thousands of feet, enveloping a hundred
miles in radius.

The bodies of the three Emperors jolted and their pupils couldn’t help shrinking.

That fellow really managed to charge down 2000 feet in depth!When everyone was
stunned by the dazzling light, there was an abnormal fluctuation coming from the
depths of the Greatlaw Goldpond.

Chapter 696 - The person in the depths of the pond Huuu.

Huuu.

Deep down in the Greatlaw Goldpond should be very quiet, but at this moment, it was
rolling with waves as thick golden lake water violently whistled, as if it had
formed a massive golden vortex.

The centre of the vortex was actually a colossal seated figure.

The colossal figure was naturally Mu Chen’s Great Solar Undying Body.

But at this moment, the Sovereign Celestial Body, which was initially a few hundred
feet in size, had actually shrunk down to several dozen feet in size.

It was caused by the dreadful pressure of the Greatlaw Goldpond.

Within the Sovereign Celestial Body, Mu Chen quietly sat and his body was slightly
trembling.

The surface of his body was covered in dried blood.

2,000 feet down the Greatlaw Goldpond, the pressure had practically slightly
penetrated the Sovereign Celestial Body as it pressed onto him.

If it wasn’t for him having an achievement in his physical body, he would have been
crushed into fragments by the pressure that had penetrated the Sovereign Celestial
Body.

But even so, the intense pain that spread throughout his body still made him
uncontrollably tremble.

But the pain was endured as he clenched his teeth.

Huuuu.

Under the layer of dried blood, Mu Chen lightly inhaled as both of his hands slowly
changed seals.

Boom!When the seal was formed, the Great Solar Undying Body abruptly exploded with
myriad feet of brilliance.

Flames of light were also rolling and spreading out.

The mysterious and majestic Goldpond energy was sucked over and being devoured by
the Great Solar Undying Body.

Mu Chen had pushed his Great Solar Undying Body to the limits, so the golden energy
was constantly whistling over and endlessly poured into the light figure.

The golden energy was undoubtedly a hundred times thicker than before!With such
stunning energy pouring in, the surface of Mu Chen’s Great Solar Undying Body was
rapidly being covered with golden light and the eight snakes were swiftly shuttled,
greedily devouring the golden energy.

The eight golden snakes were swiftly swelling up at a visible speed.

A blazing sensation spread throughout every corner of the Sovereign Celestial Body.

That feeling was as if he was in a furnace.

However, as the burning sensation got more intense, Mu Chen could feel that the
foreign pressure was getting weaker.

Evidently, his Sovereign Celestial Body was gradually getting stronger after
absorbing the Goldpond energy, so the resistance was also getting progressively
stronger.

Time slowly lapsed at the bottom of the Goldpond.

As time passed, the golden light that enveloped the Great Solar Undying Body was
getting stronger.

Looking from afar, it seemed as if there was a golden membrane on the surface of
the Sovereign Celestial Body.

Mu Chen, who was in the Sovereign Celestial Body, abruptly opened his tightly shut
eyes.

His gaze was directed outside the Sovereign Celestial Body and saw a huge golden
snake swiftly moving on the surface of his Sovereign Celestial Body.

The golden snake wriggled and golden claws were abruptly stretched out from beneath
the snake.

On the head of the snake, golden lumps were rising as well.

This was the sign that the snake was evolving.

At the sight of it, Mu Chen’s eyes flashed across with a smear of thought.

Shortly after, he shifted his gaze towards the seven golden snakes and realised
that they were also slowly evolving as well.

As they evolved, Mu Chen could sense a bizarre energy quietly surging from their
bodies.
That fluctuation made the Great Solar Undying Body slightly tremble, as if it was
impatient.

“Daluo Golden Body, so it requires the snakes to evolve into dragons…”Mu Chen’s
gaze flickered.

The eight golden snakes needed to evolve into dragons to refine the Daluo Golden
Body, but it clearly required a significant amount of Goldpond energy.

Also, that energy was only sufficient deep down.

“Then you can absorb all you want!”Mu Chen grinned as his seals changed.

A powerful suction force surged from the Great Solar Undying Body that devoured the
endless Goldpond energy that was flowing over.

And when the Sovereign Celestial Body was sucking the Goldpond energy, the eight
snakes were also greedily devouring it.

Along with that, the evolution speed had also increased.

Three days passed in the blink of an eye deep down in the Goldpond.

Mu Chen opened his eyes once again in the Sovereign Celestial Body as he heard a
hissing noise that abruptly resounded.

He raised his head and saw eight snakes endlessly struggling on the surface of his
Sovereign Celestial Body.

As those golden snakes struggled, golden scales continually fell from their bodies.

As golden light surged, dragon claws had also slowly stretched out.

When dragon horns appeared on the heads of those golden snakes, the hissing noise
from the eight golden snakes abruptly turned deep, they had actually turned into
genuine dragon roars.

The dragon roars were broad and powerful as they raised golden waves in the depths
of the Goldpond.

“Success!”Mu Chen looked at this scene with joy.

He had finally fed those eight golden snakes.

Roar!When the eight snakes successfully transformed into golden dragons, they did
not integrate into the Sovereign Celestial Body but twisted around the Great Solar
Undying Body instead, issuing deep roars towards the depths of the Goldpond.

The roars seemed like an urge.

The eight golden dragons opened their mouths as violent gales whistled out, similar
to tornados, as they swept towards the depths of the Greatlaw Goldpond.

Deep down was filled with golden sludge, where the end could not be seen.

The sludge was gold in colour, as if it was melted gold, dazzling to the eyes.

Whoosh! Whoosh!The golden sludge swept up in layers as it continuously swept

towards the Sovereign Celestial Body.

Poof! Poof!When the golden sludge enveloped over, it stuck onto the body of the
Sovereign Celestial Body.

In an instant, a white mist erupted from the Sovereign Celestial Body.

It turns out that the golden sludge had a very fearsome temperature.

Mu Chen’s face instantly turned ugly.

He realised that under the envelopment of the golden sludge, even the Great Solar
Undying Body was dissolving, bit-by-bit.

The golden sludge that seemed harmless was actually the most terrifying thing in
the Greatlaw Goldpond.

“Damn it!”Mu Chen cursed with his teeth clenched.

Those golden dragons had brought quite a troublesome thing for him.

But, from the looks of it, it seemed to be the final step in refining the Daluo
Golden Body.

Thus, no matter how shaken Mu Chen was in his heart, he had to persevere, no matter
what, at this time.

Rustle! Rustle!Earth-shattering golden sludge that was descending like a stormy

rain was torn apart by the golden dragons.

Under the envelopment of the stormy rain, the Great Solar Undying Body was
gradually being covered underneath along with the eight golden dragons.

Ssssssiii! Sssssii!White mist steadily rose as Mu Chen’s figure, which was seated
in the Sovereign Celestial Body, was violently trembling at this moment.

His entire body was red as blood continually oozed out.

However, he tightly clenched his teeth and did not issue a single noise.

The horrifying temperature was not only burning the Sovereign Celestial Body, but
also directly transmitted into him.

Right now, he felt as if he was submerged deep in lava and would burn to ashes at
any moment.

Mu Chen crouched down as sweat and blood combined together as they flowed down.

His teeth were clenched, blood was similarly spewing out between the gaps of his
teeth.

Blood veins climbed in his black pupils, making him look particularly hideous.

Sssssssi! Sssi!Golden sludge continually enveloped over as it nearly covered the

entire Sovereign Celestial Body.

Under the combustion of the golden sludge, the figure of the Great Solar Undying
Body was shrinking, bit-by-bit.
As if it was melting.

Intense pain frantically pounded against Mu Chen’s mind.

In the end, even with his will, it was a little intolerable.

As fresh blood flowed down, his consciousness was getting weaker and weaker.

He could sense that under the envelopment of the golden sludge, the eight golden
dragons were being fused into the Great Solar Undying Body, bit-by-bit.

As long as he persevered, he would have successfully refined the Daluo Golden Body.

So at this time, he must endure it!Rustle!Just when Mu Chen was bitterly enduring,
the golden sludge that continued to endlessly sweep out from the depths of the
Goldpond, layers of the sludge was lifted.

Along with the movements of those layers of golden sludge, Mu Chen seemed to have
felt something at that particular moment.

He endured the pain and forcefully opened his eyes, directing his gaze down.

After that, his pupils abruptly shrank as a smear of astonishment surged in his
eyes.

In the deepest parts of the Greatlaw Goldpond, golden sludge flew away and a golden
stone stage was slowly being revealed.

The golden stage was just roughly a foot in size.

Right now, there seemed to be a petite silhouette quietly laid on the stone stage.

There is actually someone at the bottom of the Greatlaw Goldpond?The sudden

discovery involuntarily left Mu Chen in shock.

At the moment, he was even able to endure the intense pain coming from his body as
he hastily directed his gaze over.

He realised that the silhouette on the golden stone stage was a naked small girl.

Judging from the appearance, she seemed to be about eleven or twelve years old.

She had long jet-black hair.

Although her appearance wasn’t clear, from her petite appearance, she seemed very
cute.

“Who is she? Why is she here?”But at this moment, Mu Chen could not feel the
slightest cuteness from her.

Even he could figure this out by thinking with his butt that this weird little girl
was entirely abnormal.

Mu Chen also felt a dangerous aura coming from her.

Just when Mu Chen felt a chill from the appearance of the abnormal little girl, in
the depths of the Greatlaw Goldpond, the eyelashes of the little girl gently moved.

After that, she slowly opened her eyes under Mu Chen’s shocked gaze.
The pair of indifferent golden pupils made Mu Chen’s scalp instantly explode.

Chapter 697 - Mandala In the depths of the Greatlaw Goldpond, when the strange
little girl with golden eyes opened her eyes, a chill surged in Mu Chen’s heart.

There wasn’t any hesitation, he endured the intense pain on his body and was about
to control the Great Solar Undying Body to leave this place.

However, just when he was about to move, the indifferent gaze of the little girl’s
golden pupils were looking at him.

After that, the little girl stood up and strode forth with her small legs.

Rustle!Mu Chen’s body abruptly stiffened as terror rose in his face.

He no longer dared to move his body in the slightest, since the little girl had
actually appeared before his eyes.

She had actually penetrated through the Sovereign Celestial Body that was
protecting him and appeared right before him.

Mu Chen didn’t dare the move his body in the slightest as a cold sweat dripped from
his forehead.

Under the gaze of the golden pupils, he felt death.

He did not doubt that this mysterious little girl before him could easily claim his
life with a wave of her hand.

Furthermore, there didn’t seem to be any emotions in that pair of golden eyes.

Mu Chen raised his head with great effort before he could clearly see the little
girl.

Her complexion was exceedingly fair.

Although there wasn’t any expression on her face, it was especially exquisite, a
petite figure and long jet-black hair.

If it was the usual time when he saw such a cute little girl, Mu Chen naturally
wouldn’t feel troubled in his heart.

But at this moment, his heart was filled with a chill.

Thus, he didn’t dare to sweep his gaze on the little girl’s naked body.

The little girl was quietly looking at Mu Chen, before her thin eyelashes abruptly
moved.

Her fair, tiny hand was extended towards Mu Chen’s head.

At the sight of this, Mu Chen’s expression changed.

He wanted to immediately retreat, but he realised with a shock that the space
around him seemed to be frozen.

It was so much so that his link with the Great Solar Undying Body was severed.
The strength possessed by this girl was very terrifying.

His body had stiffened and he could only watch the little girl extend her hand and
press it on his forehead before she softly said, “You seem to be in great pain…”A
faint scarlet light abruptly surged from her hand.

The scarlet light wrapped around Mu Chen’s body.

His heart trembled as he felt the intense pain in his body subsiding like a tidal
wave…In just a few breath’s time, the pain in his body had entirely disappeared.

Mu Chen raised his head in shock and saw the scarlet light that was wrapping around
him was beginning to retreat, moving along the centre of his brows and travelled to
the little girl’s hand.

When the scarlet light was withdrawn, the little girl’s hand also briefly trembled.

Her face, which had no expression, slightly moved; her expression seemed to be in
pain.

When Mu Chen saw this, he felt disbelief from his heart.

This little girl could actually absorb the pain that others were feeling? Except
that the pain that was absorbed would take effect on her body…Which also meant that
the intense pain that was torturing Mu Chen earlier was all borne by her.

Facing such pain, she had only slightly changed her expression.

Just what sort of monster was this little girl?After absorbing the pain in Mu
Chen’s body, the little girl no longer paid any attention to him and lifted her
head to look at the Great Solar Undying Body.

Golden light surged from her golden pupils, as if she wanted to probe this
Sovereign Celestial Body.

She looked for a brief moment as golden light gathered in her eyes.

Her petite figure abruptly jolted as she bit her lips.

For the first time, there was an intense ripple in her voice.

“This is… the Great Solar Undying Body?”Although her voice was soft, Mu Chen could
still hear what she was saying.

At this moment, he felt as if he was struck by lightning and looked at the little
girl before him in astonishment.

After all this time, this was the first time that someone had recognised the Great
Solar Undying Body with a single glance.

“You… you know of the Great Solar Undying Body?!” Mu Chen couldn’t help asking.

The little girl paid no attention to him and lightly knitted her brows.

Shortly after, she turned her head over to Mu Chen.

Then, her fair hands seemed to have penetrated through space, before fell onto Mu
Chen’s chest.
Mu Chen’s heart clenched as he felt his Sovereign Sea shaking.

His psyche moved, and he senses the Immortal Page in his Sovereign Sea was
trembling non-stop, as if there was a formless energy trying to forcefully extract
it.

When he realised that, Mu Chen’s expression drastically changed on the spot.

Shortly after, rage surged from his heart.

The means of this little girl before him was too overbearing.

The Immortal Page was Mu Chen’s greatest secret, it had clues linked to the
Primordial Undying Body.

No matter what, he absolutely would not allow it to be taken away.

Mu Chen stomped his feet as the Great Solar Undying Body abruptly burst forth with
dazzling light, breaking free from the energy that was binding him and his figure
sharply retreated.

Rustle!But when his figure had just flown out, light converged before him.

The little girl was like a maggot clinging onto him.

Her tiny hand was still stuck to Mu Chen’s chest.

Ferocious light surged in Mu Chen’s black pupils as he abruptly clenched his teeth
shortly after and changed his seals, causing the Immortal Page in his Sovereign Sea
to explode with mysterious purple light.

Shortly after, purple runes stretched out from the Immortal Page as it flew out of
the Sovereign Sea.

It appeared above Mu Chen’s head as it transformed into a large dark-purple mandala

flower.

The mandala flower gently blossomed as purple light shone down.

It was like a vine as it bound the little girl’s body.

The latter’s figure was stopped, and Mu Chen made use of the chance to retreat,
breaking free from the little girl’s control.

However, dense fear and alertness still filled his eyes.

Under the binding of the purple light, the little girl did not struggle.

Instead, she raised her head.

She slightly knitted her brows as she looked at the blossoming mandala flower.

After that, there was a smear of a sweet smile appearing on her face which
initially had no expression on it.

She looked as if she had seen something she loved.

Purple light shone down from the mandala flower.

When it came in contact with the little girl’s body, it entered her body, bit-by-
bit.

Along with the purple light pouring in, the expression on her face gradually turned
lively; thereupon, the indifference in her eyes had also slowly vanished.

At the sight of this, Mu Chen’s heart was filled with shock.

He silently cast a glance at the Great Solar Undying Body and realised that the
golden sludge that had enveloped the Sovereign Celestial Body was falling off in
patches.

The falling speed of the sludge gradually increased as dazzling golden light
radiated from it.

Mu Chen was closely staring at the Great Solar Undying Body without blinking his
eyes.

He wanted to find out if he had successfully refined the Daluo Golden Body.

Under the nervous gaze, the golden sludge had finally thoroughly fallen off.

A dazzling golden light swept out at this instance.

Mu Chen focused his gaze and saw that within the golden light sat the Great Solar
Undying Body.

Its massive body was brilliant gold in colour, as if it was forged with gold and
was indestructible.

Also, there were eight golden dragon runes on the surface of the body.

Those dragon runes looked like they were embedded in the skin of the Sovereign
Celestial Body, baring their fangs and brandishing their claws.

They were vivid and lively.

They were like protective dragons with incomparable prestige.

The Great Solar Undying Body quietly sat at the bottom of the Greatlaw Goldpond
like a golden Buddha.

The horrifying pressure could no longer penetrate through the Sovereign Celestial
Body.

Clearly, after possing the Daluo Golden Body, the Great Solar Undying Body became
even more powerful.

According to Mu Chen’s calculations, a Sovereign Celestial Body with the Daluo

Golden Body, he could also resist against the attacks of a Third Grade Sovereign.

Mu Chen’s gaze was faintly emitting a light as he looked at the Great Solar Undying
Body.

Clearly, the transformation of the latter left him satisfied.

It was worth him suffering the bitter torment for this Daluo Golden Body.
Mu Chen was immersed in how powerful the Daluo Golden Body was for a brief moment
before recovering, since there was still the mysterious and terrifying little girl
before him…Mu Chen shifted his head towards the little girl that was immersed in
the purple light of the mandala flower.

His eyes were still filled with fear, since he knew that even if he had
successfully refined the Daluo Golden Body, he was still feeble and weak before
this little girl who possessed frightening strength.

Mu Chen’s gaze lightly flickered as he quietly changed his seals.

The mandala flower instantly flew back and turned into a streak of purple light
that entered his body.

The purple light that was shrouding the little girl was also dissipated at this
moment.

The little girl’s thin brows were instantly raised as she looked at Mu Chen with
resentment and a golden light surged in her golden pupils.

“*Cough* This is mine… I have to leave now.

” Mu Chen felt his scalp numbing as he dryly laughed.

The little girl frowned her brows as she slightly crooked her head and pondered.

She strode her tiny feet forth and flew towards Mu Chen.

At the sight of the situation, the latter stretched his hands out in reflex as he
took the little girl in his embrace.

Placing his hand on the little girl’s petite figure, the sensations that came from
his hands were smooth and tender, causing Mu Chen to be a little stunned.

Shortly after, he abruptly recovered and had the urge to throw her away, since he
knew that the little girl before him wasn’t as cute as she was on the surface.

However, he still managed to endure it.

He lowered his head, seeing the little girl quietly lying in his embrace with her
face stuck to his chest.

Mu Chen could sense a purple light being emitted from the Immortal Page in his
Sovereign Sea that poured into the body of the little girl.

He looked at the little girl who was as exquisite as a doll, but there wasn’t any
expression on his face.

Perhaps because she had her eyes closed, his fear for her had weakened a little.

This little girl seemed to be extremely fond of the Immortal Page in his body.

Embracing her little figure, Mu Chen bitterly smiled as he retrieved a black cloth
and covered her.

He hesitated for a brief moment, then carefully asked, “Who are you? What is your
name?”The girl still had her eyes shut, but after a long time later, she said in a
soft voice.
“Mandala.

”
Chapter 698 - Goldpond Curtain Draws “Mandala?”Hearing that weird name, Mu Chen
couldn’t help being stunned for a brief moment as he lowered his head and glanced
at the girl in his embrace with caution.

However, the latter still had her eyes shut and did not bother with him.

At this moment, he could only bitterly laugh.

Although he wasn’t sure of the origins of this mysterious little girl, there was an
undoubted fact.

She possessed a fearsome strength that even surpassed the three Emperors of the
Great Havenlaw Domain.

Also, she seemed to be a little familiar with the Immortal Page.

Otherwise, she wouldn’t have recognised the Great Solar Undying Body that was
cultivated by Mu Chen.

After all, it was a rare Sovereign Celestial Body that wasn’t amongst the 99
Rankings of Sovereign Celestial Bodies.

As for her, Mu Chen maintained a 120% alertness and fear for her in his heart.

But from the current situation, she didn’t seem to be intending on leaving and only
wanted to cling onto him.

And to this, Mu Chen didn’t dare to oppose in the slightest in case he angered her;
in which, she would probably kill him with a wave of her hand.

Mu Chen didn’t want to die not knowing the reason why.

Also, the reason why she clung onto him was clearly due to the Immortal Page in Mu
Chen’s body.

“Uhh…”Mu Chen hugged the girl named Mandala as he helplessly sighed in his heart.

Shortly after, he formed seals with a single hand, and the Great Solar Undying Body
abruptly soared up, splitting apart the thick golden lake water as he ascended.

Now that he had successfully refined the Daluo Golden Body, there wasn’t any reason
for him to stay here.

Furthermore, he could sense that it was about time for the Greatlaw Goldpond to be
sealed once again.

…Outside the Goldpond PeakIn just a few day’s time, the atmosphere here was
boiling, and the origin of it was naturally the dazzling golden talisman that
looked like a blazing golden sun.

This was the first time in all these years that there was such an intense light in
the opening of the Greatlaw Goldpond.

Also, everyone understood that this meant that someone was refining the Daluo
Golden Body.
Also, from the looks of it, he had a certain chance of success.

Just this point alone made many people’s hearts shake, and just when they were
startled, they were also very curious which genius amongst the Four Great Domain
Lords had such stunning ability.

After all, there were too many geniuses that were defeated before the Daluo Golden
Body.

When the commotion soared into the sky, the three Emperors quietly stood in the sky
and their gazes were also directed at the golden talisman with astonishment in
their eyes growing denser and denser.

The brilliance of the golden talisman lasted for nearly four days without any signs
of weakening.

This meant that the fellow in the depths of the Greatlaw Goldpond had really
managed to endure it.

“Things are interesting now.

” The Sleeping Emperor lightly smiled with some interest.

Clearly, even with his faint character, his interest was piqued.

The Sky Vulture Emperor and the Spiritual Pupils Emperor had shock on their faces
as their gazes flickered.

They were trying to guess who it was that managed to achieve such stunning results.

After all, this was the first time in so many years that someone had managed to
accomplish this step.

So they wish to know who it was that managed to successfully refine the Daluo
Golden Body.

Down below, aside from Nine Nether, the eight remaining Kings’ faces were filled
with shock.

Especially Asura King, Mountain Splitting King and Blood Hawk King.

All of them had their bodies tensed up and their gazes flickering.

If their subordinate Domain Lord achieved that, then their reputation would soar in
this competition of the Greatlaw Goldpond.

“It’s about time, it should be near the time limit for the opening of the Greatlaw
Goldpond.

” The Sleeping Emperor narrowed both of his eyes as he abruptly said.

Boom!In the next instant, when he finished speaking, golden light abruptly soared
from the majestic mountain and everyone immediately raised their heads.

They saw three massive figures tearing apart the golden light that filled the sky
and appeared on the horizon.

Everyone immediately directed their gazes over.

The three massive figures were three Sovereign Celestial Bodies.

At this moment, the three Sovereign Celestial Bodies were shrouded with dazzling
golden light and they seemed to be indestructible, emitting valiant aura and
sweeping up whistling gales.

When everyone saw the three Sovereign Celestial Bodies, there was disappointment
flashing across their eyes.

They could sense that although the three Sovereign Celestial Bodies were somewhat
powerful, there was still quite a gap to the Daluo Golden Body.

Boom!Just when many people had disappointment flashing across their eyes, they saw
a massive golden light soaring into the sky above the Goldpond Peak.

From the pillar of light, a gigantic golden figure stepped out.

That figure was gold in colour with a great sun hovering behind its head.

On the surface of its golden figure, eight dragon runes were wriggling and were
faintly emitting draconic roars.

Golden light was being emitted as an indescribable pressure swept out, directly
causing the three other Sovereign Celestial Bodies to dull down so much that even
the light being emitted from them was suppressed.

Innumerable gazes were instantly directed over with dense shock surging on their
faces.

Many people were lightly inhaling chilled air.

“Eight dragon runes… it truly is the Daluo Golden Body…”Under the uproar, the light
retracted from the three Sovereign Celestial Bodies, before fading away to reveal
Xu Qing, Zhou Yue and Wu Tian’s figures.

The three of them were looking at the Sovereign Celestial Body that seemed to be
forged with gold in shock.

Xu Qing and Zhou Yue’s gazes were complicated, while Wu Tian’s face was filled with
disbelief, along with deep jealousy and darkness concealed in the depths of his
eyes.

Evidently, they never expected Mu Chen to refine the Daluo Golden Body!They had all
been in the Greatlaw Goldpond, so they knew how terrifying the pressure was.

Going 2,000 feet down to absorb the Goldpond energy wasn’t something that could be
achieved with their current strength.

But right now, Mu Chen achieved it with the strength of only First Grade Sovereign
Realm!Xu Qing and Zhou Yue looked at Mu Chen with heavy expressions.

It was so much so that there was a little fear in them for the first time.

This youth that seemed gentle on the surface appeared to have many things concealed
in his sleeves.

Wu Tian’s gaze was dark with cold killing intent flashing across the depths of his
eyes.
The potential that Mu Chen had displayed was getting stronger, which caused the
killing intent in his heart to grow denser as well.

“So it really was Mu Chen!”Tang Bing and Tang Rou couldn’t help cheering from the
direction of the Nine Nether Palace.

Many among the Nine Nether Troop also had a heated gaze as they faintly revered Mu
Chen.

After all, Mu Chen was the only Domain Lord that could refine the Daluo Golden Body
after all these years in the Great Havenlaw Domain.

An uncontrollable smile had appeared on Nine Nether’s cool and elegant face as
well.

Mu Chen’s achievement had allowed the reputation of her Nine Nether Palace to soar.

In the future, no one would dare to say that there wasn’t anyone capable in her
Nine Nether Palace.

As for the eight remaining stone stages, the eight Kings were also somewhat shocked
from the results.

A majority of them shook their head as the results were too unexpected.

Only Blood Hawk King was indifferent, with a smear of eerie light flashing across
his eyes when he looked at the dazzling golden body.

“Haha, so it really was that brat.

” Up in the sky, the Sleeping Emperor was laughing as he watched this scene.

“Looks like Nine Nether has brought back a little fellow with potential.

” The Sky Vulture Emperor smiled with satisfaction.

This time, Nine Nether’s eyesight was clearly much better.

Whether it was regarding the character or potential, the youth named Mu Chen was
far from someone like Cao Feng could be compared to.

The Spiritual Pupils Emperor indifferently smiled without any expression in his
gaze.

Under the eyes of countless heated gazes, the Sovereign Celestial Body that seemed
to have been forged with gold gradually dissipated and Mu Chen’s figure appeared
before everyone.

When he appeared, it had unexpectedly set off complicated sighs.

Although they could already determine with the Sovereign Celestial Body, it still
made everyone sigh a little when Mu Chen showed himself.

It was an outcome that no one had expected.

Ever since the Great Havenlaw Domain was established, Mu Chen was the only one that
could achieve refining the Daluo Golden Body with the cultivation of First Grade
Sovereign.
Up in the sky, Mu Chen was blankly staring into his embrace and felt it was empty.

There wasn’t anyone in his embrace.

But he clearly remembered that the little girl named Mandala was still in his
embrace earlier…“She must have hidden herself.

”Mu Chen bitterly smiled.

With the terrifying strength of that little girl, if she genuinely wanted to
conceal herself, not even the three Emperors could sense her.

Now that he was tangled with her, he didn’t know if it was a fortune or disaster.

“Haha, congratulations, Mu Chen.

After all these years, you are the first to refine the Daluo Golden Body
successfully with the cultivation of First Grade Sovereign.

” The Sky Vulture Emperor’s aged laughter rang out.

“Many thanks to the three lords.

”Mu Chen looked at the three Emperors as he cupped his fist.

“It was all your own ability.

” The Sleeping Emperor, who rarely spoke, smiled.

He stared at Mu Chen and suddenly frowned his brows with a smear of doubt flashing
across his eyes.

Shortly after, he shook his head as he got rid of the misperception.

“This competition of the Greatlaw Goldpond will now come to an end.

” The Sky Vulture Emperor swept his gaze around the field as his voice lowered,
“The Great Hunt will come shortly, I hope that everyone will put effort to temper
yourselves.

”When the words of the Great Hunt came out, this region, which was still filled
with commotion, instantly turned silent.

Vaguely, chill and bloodlust were spreading out.

“Yes!”The nine Kings acknowledged with heavy voices.

At the sight of this, the three Emperors no longer spoke and waved their hands.

The golden light gradually retracted from the Goldpond Peak and the current was
blocked, sealing the Goldpond Peak once again.

Up in the sky, Mu Chen landed in the direction of the Nine Nether Palace and smiled
towards everyone who was in an elated mood.

Everyone had also come forward in excitement.

“Let’s go.
”Nine Nether gave Mu Chen a smile and had no intention of staying there any longer.

She turned around, leading everyone, and left.

When they walked down from the stone stage, they inevitably brushed by the party of
the Blood Hawk Hall.

The two parties had no expressions on their faces, while the Blood Hawk King and
Nine Nether exchanged a glance and brushed past.

However, the killing intent in that instant made many people feel a chill in their
hearts.

The Blood Hawk King and Nine Nether brushed past, before he made a brief stop next
to Mu Chen.

He directed his scarlet gaze over, and a faint voice was transmitted into Mu Chen’s
ears.

“There are too many geniuses in this world, be careful not to die prematurely…”Mu
Chen narrowed his eyes as a cold smile was lifted on the corner of his lips.

Chapter 699 - Great Hun tNine Nether PalaceWhen the competition of the Greatlaw
Goldpond came to an end, the Nine Nether Palace was undoubtedly filled with cheers.

Everyone in the Nine Nether Palace had excited expressions on their faces.

All this time, when Nine Nether went missing, the Nine Nether Palace’s position in
the Great Havenlaw Domain had been falling.

The other factions had also suppressed them, so they could only swallow their
grievances and retreat time and time again.

But fortunately, their wait wasn’t in vain.

Nine Nether returned stronger than ever, and the new Domain Lord had also displayed
impressive strength and temperament.

Not only did he defeated Cao Feng and seized the qualification for the Goldpond,
but he had also even refined the Daluo Golden Body that no one could achieve
before, raising a quake amongst the experts in the Great Havenlaw Domain.

After this matter, probably no one in the Great Havenlaw Domain would belittle
their Nine Nether Palace ever again.

…Before a massive hall in the Nine Nether Palace, Nine Nether leaned against a
pillar, looking at the Nine Nether Palace, which was filled with cheers.

Her rosy lips gently lifted into a gentle smile.

“It’s all thanks to you, this time.

” Nine Nether turned her head as she smiled towards Mu Chen, who was standing by
her side.

Although her return had given the Nine Nether Palace energy once again, she could
not act out directly due to the rules in the Great Havenlaw Domain.
Therefore, Mu Chen’s performance this time around had given the Nine Nether Palace
new vitality, letting the people in the Nine Nether Palace to gradually have
confidence in it.

“It’s my honour to serve the Lord.

” Mu Chen joked.

Nine Nether lifted her rosy lips as her cool expression turned somewhat gentle.

There was a light circulating in her slender eyes that made her seem exceptionally
charming.

“But now that you’re in the limelight, you must be cautious.

The Blood Hawk King is a narrow-minded person, an eye for an eye.

I am not afraid of him, but you should be careful about him laying his hands on you
in the dark.

” Nine Nether suddenly said with her eyes narrowed.

Mu Chen nodded his head, then paused for a brief moment and inquired shortly after,
“What is the Great Hunt about that Lord Sky Vulture Emperor mentioned
today?”Hearing the words “the Great Hunt”, Nine Nether narrowed her eyes as well.

Her expression turned more solemn and remained silent for a brief moment, before
slowly saying, “It’s a cruel battle that bears upon all the forces in the Northern
Region of the Greatlaw Continent.

”Mu Chen was slightly startled.

He now knew that the Greatlaw Continent was split into North, South, East and West
regions.

Their Great Havenlaw Domain resided in the Northern Region.

In the Northern Region, there were forces of various sizes, even pinnacle forces
similar to their Great Havenlaw Domain exceeded the count of one hand, with experts
as many as the clouds.

The so-called “Great Hunt” was so terrifying that it affected all the forces in the
Northern Realm? How frightening would that scale be?“There will be countless forces
disappearing during every single Great Hunt, even some pinnacle forces might suffer
heavy impacts.

In the hundreds of thousands of years, there were pinnacle forces that fell in the
Great Hunt and were nibbled up by others, becoming the ashes of history.

” Nine Nether softly said.

Mu Chen’s face couldn’t help changing as he asked, “Why?”His question was naturally
asking why would a cruel war of such a terrifying scale take place.

“Because of territories, resources and ambitions.

” Nine Nether faintly said.

“In the few thousand years of the Northern Region, outstanding individuals were
rising up.

But there wasn’t anyone that could become the Overlord of the Northern Region.

However, the ambition was never laid to rest.

Thus, the Great Hunt was born.

”“In the previous Great Hunt, amongst the ten major forces of the Northern Region,
four were swallowed up by the six remaining major powers at the end of it.

”Mu Chen’s heart shook.

Four pinnacle forces defeated… With just these few words alone, he could feel the
reeking blood and cruelty of it.

God-knows how many experts would fall from a war of such a scale.

Although he wasn’t sure how powerful those four pinnacle forces were, they couldn’t
be that weak, judging from the power of the Great Havenlaw Domain.

Otherwise, the title of pinnacle forces would not fall onto them.

Judging from a pinnacle force like the Great Havenlaw Domain, if it was in the
Northern Heavens Continent, it was sufficient to claim the Overlord title over it.

But placed here, there were risks of destruction.

One could tell from that how cruel the war in the Northern Region was.

“Every single Great Hunt would reshuffle the forces in the Northern Region.

The winner would get stronger, while the loser would lose everything.

No one is excluded, since it is the rules of the Northern Region.

Unless… a true Overlord appears in the Northern Region.

”Mu Chen slowly spat out an icy breath that rose in his chest.

From Nine Nether’s words, he felt the cruelty of the Great Thousand World for the
first time.

This was no longer the Northern Heavens Spiritual Academy.

The rules of the strong preying on the weak was even more thorough here.

Even pinnacle forces like the Great Havenlaw Domain would face much danger.

If it had slightly declined, it would probably be torn apart by those preying

wolves.

The Great Hunt of the Northern Region was undoubtedly a cruel elimination of
natural selection.

The elimination would continue until a true Overlord appeared in this vast
continent.

“Thus, if one wants to survive in the Greatlaw Continent, one has to rely on a
force.

Otherwise, it would be a disastrous situation when being eyed upon,” said Nine
Nether.

Mu Chen nodded his head.

That was the fact.

In such a place where rules and regulations were lacking, without any support
behind them, it would be tough to move a single step.

But, fortunately, he could be considered as having joined the Great Havenlaw

Domain.

As long as the Great Havenlaw Domain wasn’t annihilated, he could depend on it.

Thus, he also had to pray that the Great Havenlaw Domain would not be destroyed in
this Great Hunt.

“But you don’t have to be too worried about it.

There is still some time before the Great Hunt.

Also, it’s useless to worry about this kind of thing.

” Nine Nether smiled.

Mu Chen bitterly smiled.

Kt was a fact that he could only watch from the side with his current strength, in
regards to a battle of such a scale.

The decisive power lied in the upper levels.

Take the mysterious Domain Ruler of their Great Havenlaw Domain, for example.

“Right now, we have to focus on the things before us.

” Nine Nether slightly smiled as a chill rose in her gorgeous eyes.

“The Blood Hawk King suffered a loss this round, and he will definitely not let
this matter rest so easily.

Also, we of the Nine Nether Palace have to take back those that belonged to us.

When the Great Hunt starts, our Nine Nether Palace will definitely participate, so
we have to strengthen ourselves.

Otherwise, we will be devoured by others in a single gulp.

”“I also want to see the capability of the Blood Hawk Hall.

”Mu Chen nodded his head, during the years when Nine Nether wasn’t around, many
territories that once belonged to the Nine Nether Palace were devoured and occupied
by the Blood Hawk Hall.

This had also made their Nine Nether Palace into a laughing stock.
After all, a King that could not even protect her own territories was indeed a
running joke.

However, Mu Chen would make them unable to laugh.

Because coming right up, he would take back all those things that once belonged to
their Nine Nether Palace!Nine Nether gently nodded her head, and her eyes narrowed
just when she was about to speak.

She was stunned as she looked behind Mu Chen and asked in astonishment, “Who is
she?”Mu Chen was first stunned to hear her words, and felt his scalp numbing after
that.

He slowly turned around and saw a little girl donned in black clothes quietly
seated on the railing.

Her fair legs were gently swaying and she was silently looked at Mu Chen with her
pair of golden eyes.

That little girl was the one that Mu Chen met down in the Greatlaw Goldpond.

Except that when they left the Greatlaw Goldpond, she disappeared.

He never imagined that she would appear so mysteriously without any noise…Nine
Nether looked at Mu Chen, who had a slightly ugly expression on his face.

She slightly narrowed her eyes, since she had clearly felt that something wasn’t
right.

The way the little girl showed herself was too strange, even she could not feel a
thing.

Spiritual Energy silently surged in Nine Nether’s body as a strand of purple flame
appeared on her slender arm.

The little girl named Mandala indifferently cast a glance at Nine Nether with her
golden eyes.

Mu Chen immediately stood before Nine Nether and obstructed her.

He was well-aware about how terrifying the little girl before him was, and Nine
Nether definitely wasn’t her opponent.

“She’s called Mandala…” said Mu Chen.

“You know her?” Nine Nether was slightly stunned and was a little astonished.

Mu Chen hesitated for a brief moment, before he decided to explain the origin of
the little girl, in the end.

Nine Nether couldn’t help widening her eyes as she looked at the black-clothed
little girl with shock.

Clearly, she couldn’t imagine that the little girl had been in a deep slumber at a
depths of the Greatlaw Goldpond.

Furthermore, not even the three Emperors, as well as the Domain Ruler of their
Great Havelaw Domain, had realised her existence.
Just what sort of monster is that little girl?Nine Nether slightly knitted her
brows as she cast a glance with alertness and fear at the little girl, pondering in
her heart if she should report this matter to the Sky Vulture Emperor.

“Don’t divulge into my matters.

Otherwise, not even those three fellows could save you.

” But when that thought had just flashed across her heart, the little girl named
Mandala said in an indifferent voice.

Her voice was somewhat young and tinkling, but the indifference held in her voice
would make others feel a chill in their hearts.

Nine Nether’s face slightly changed as she stared at Mandala and slowly said, “Who
are you?”The little girl stood up from the railing, her jet-black hair fluttering
in the wind.

An arc rose on her face as she said, “Rest assured, if I truly had any thoughts
about you guys, you wouldn’t be able to stop me.

”Mu Chen helplessly shrugged his shoulders when he realised that what she said was
indeed correct.

With her fearsome strength, if she had the intention to kill, no one would be able
to stop her.

Nine Nether cast a deep glance at the little girl as she asked, “Why are you
following Mu Chen?”The little girl slightly crooked her head as she glanced at Mu
Chen.

Shortly after, her feet tapped and flew towards the latter.

At the sight of this, Mu Chen could only bitterly smile as he stretched out his
hand and receive her in his embrace.

Mandala comfortably laid in Mu Chen’s embrace with her face stuck on Mu Chen’s
chest.

Her golden eyes that made others felt heart-alarming were slowly closing as the
indifference contained in her voice weakened.

“Because I want him to hug me to sleep.

”Before closing her eyes, the little girl lifted her lips and her young voice rang
out.

But when she spoke, she made Nine Nether’s brows uncontrollably twitch.

Chapter 700 - Relying on the Fis tNine Nether still left in the end, but before she
left, she cast a strange gaze towards Mu Chen, causing the corner of the latter’s
lips to twitch.

Because her gaze was similar to someone looking at a paedophile…Because of

Mandala’s words, he could not justify himself, so he could only sigh in depression
as he carried Mandala, who had fallen asleep, to his room.

“Are you being near me because of the Immortal Page in my body?” Mu Chen carefully
placed Mandala on the bed.

He hesitated for a brief moment, then asked.

Mandala opened her eyes a little as an idle expression appeared on her doll-like
exquisite face and said, “Why else? Did you think that it’s because of you?”“You
know about the Immortal Catalog?” Mu Chen asked as his gaze slightly flickered.

Mandala abruptly narrowed her eyes a little like a cat.

Although she did not respond, Mu Chen already knew the answer, and his heart
couldn’t help jolting.

She really knew about the Immortal Catalog, so she must know of the Primordial
Undying Body as well!Just what is the origin of this girl?“Don’t ask what you’re
not supposed to, it will not benefit you in any way.

” But just when Mu Chen was unable to help and was about to ask, Mandala turned her
body around.

Her voice was young, but there was an indescribable prestige.

Mu Chen smiled as his gaze flickered.

“Then, can you tell me what benefits does this page of the Immortal Catalog brings
to you?”Mandala hesitated for a brief moment, then said, “This Immortal Page of
yours has a concealed set of divine runes of the Primordial Mandala Flower.

It is a mysterious flower that possesses the ability to seal anything.

I only need to borrow its power to suppress a curse in my body.

”“Curse?” Mu Chen was stunned.

“A curse that will make someone feel the pain of a living hell.

” Mandala’s voice was exceptionally calm as she continued, “It will emit intense
pain at any moment.

It is a pain that can torture a Ninth Grade Sovereign expert’s soul to smithereens.

”Mu Chen felt his scalps numbing, a pain that could even scatter the soul of a
Ninth Grade Sovereign?“You want to try?” Mandala opened her eyes as she looked at
Mu Chen.

She suddenly smiled and stretched her tiny hand.

A smear of scarlet light flew out and shot into Mu Chen’s body at lightning speed.

Mu Chen’s body suddenly turned stiffed as he intensely trembled.

Blood veins frantically climbed out from his black pupils and his handsome face was
instantly distorted as a hoarse voice came from his throat.

An indescribable pain had spread throughout the corners of his entire body.

That intense pain was sufficient to make others go crazy.

But, fortunately, this pain came fast and disappeared fast as well.
In just a few breath’s time, it had already thoroughly dissolved.

Mu Chen sat on the chair with cold sweat covering his forehead, before he furiously
looked at Mandala.

“What are you doing?!” “You can’t endure it? This is the pain that I am enduring
every single moment.

” Mandala lifted her lips as she spoke.

Mu Chen was stunned as he looked at the little girl who was hugging her legs,
seated on the bed.

He didn’t know why there was some pity in his heart.

He had only suffered the pain from before for just a few breath’s time, yet he
could not take it anymore.

But it was a pain that she had to experience every single moment.

Also, she could still be so calm under that pain.

Perhaps her endurance had something to do with her strength, but it also displayed
her stunning willpower.

“Can the divine runes of the Mandala Flower in the Immortal Page remove the curse?”
Mu Chen asked.

“Remove? How is that possible?” Mandala mocked as she continued, “It could only
suppress it, at most.

Unless it is the real Primordial Mandala Flower, only then can it remove the curse.

”Mu Chen kept quiet, since he had never heard of the Primordial Mandala Flower
before, so it must be scarce.

Even rarer than the three materials needed for his Great Solar Undying Body.

“Rest assured, I will not seize your Immortal Page.

You are already gradually fusing with it.

If I were to force my way, it might damage the divine runes.

” Looking at Mu Chen’s silence, Mandala thought that he was worried that she would
snatch his Immortal Page, so she said, while casting her lips aside.

Mu Chen felt a little relieved in his heart as he cast a glance at Mandala.

“You name is not Mandala, right?”“It’s just a name.

” Mandala did not agree nor did she disagree.

“Also…” Mu Chen looked at Mandala as he said, “This appearance of yours should be

fake, right? I don’t believe that someone with such horrifying strength would be a
little girl.

”Beneath the appearance of this little girl was probably an old monster.
Thinking that he had just embraced an old monster, Mu Chen couldn’t help shivering.

It was honestly too hard to bear.

Seeing Mu Chen’s state, Mandala coldly snorted, “Don’t judge me by using the age of
humans.

If you are talking about age, then that Nine Netherbird is also much older than
you.

”“You’re not human?” Mu Chen asked in astonishment.

Mandala cast a glance at Mu Chen, but she was too lazy to reply.

Her petite figure rolled into the quilt as she lazily said, “You can cultivate, I
only have to be around you to borrow the power of the Primordial Mandala Flower’s
divine runes to suppress the curse.

” “What benefits will I have?” Mu Chen smiled.

Mandala’s head popped out of the quilt as she cast a strange glance at Mu Chen.

“Isn’t it the greatest benefit that I am not killing you?”The corner of Mu Chen’s
lips twitched, then clenched his teeth shortly after.

“You win!”Mu Chen sat on the corner of the bed and no longer paid any attention to
her.

He shut his eyes and formed seals with both of his hands, gradually entering into a
cultivation state.

As Mu Chen entered into a cultivating state, Mandala had also drilled out of the
quilt and stared at Mu Chen.

Traces of a strange light flashed across her golden eyes as she muttered to
herself, “Great Solar Undying Body, I never expected that it would appear again…”…
For the next few days, Nine Nether clearly intended to let Mu Chen, who had just
participated the competition of the Greatlaw Goldpond, to rest.

Thus, he was freer, and when he was free, he would walk around the Nine Nether
Palace.

From the competition of the Greatlaw Goldpond, Mu Chen had gotten back quite a bit
of face for the Nine Nether Palace.

And Nine Nether intended to retrieve the rest of the reputation of the Nine Nether
Palace in a spurt.

After all, the foundation of the Nine Nether Palace was the weakest amongst the
Nine Kings.

If the Nine Nether Palace wished to grow their strength, they would have to take
back all the territories that once belonged to their Nine Nether Palace, at the
very least.

Those territories would hand over a significant amount of Sovereign Spiritual

Liquid every single year, and right now, the Nine Nether Palace was severely
lacking in Sovereign Spiritual Liquid.
Especially after the promise that Mu Chen gave to the Nine Nether Troop, so
Sovereign Spiritual Liquid became even more lacking.

Without a sufficient amount of Sovereign Spiritual Liquid, even existing would be a

tough matter for the Nine Nether Palace, not to mention about growing stronger.

Also, various factions in the entire Great Havenlaw Domain were probably paying
attention to their Nine Nether Palace.

Evidently, they wished to see if the Nine Nether Palace would turn out to be a
laughing stock after causing such a huge commotion.

Under the great amount of attention, Nine Nether sent men out on that day towards
the cities that once belonged to the Nine Nether Palace.

The words that were brought along were also straightforward.

Pledge allegiance to the Nine Nether Palace once again.

Nine Nether’s actions left many people in shock.

Some even laughed while shaking their heads in the dark.

A woman will still be a woman.

In the end, her methods were too soft.

Did she think that a single sentence that was as light as a feather would make
those City Lords that had pledged allegiance to Blood Hawk Hall change?It was
indeed as expected by everyone, after sending the news to over fifty cities, aside
from those few that were greatly exploited by the Blood Hawk Hall being willing to
switch allegiances to the Nine Nether Palace, the remaining City Lords did not give
a reply.

It was so much so that several City Lords that were close to the Blood Hawk Hall
did not express willingness to switch allegiances.

They even chased the men sent by the Nine Nether Palace away.

Their attitudes were fairly arrogant.

Clearly, after relying on the Blood Hawk Hall, they did not place the Nine Nether
Palace with a weak reputation in their eyes.

The first move of the Nine Nether Palace seemed somewhat weak.

Many people had also inwardly shaken their heads throughout the entire Great
Havenlaw Domain.

The Blood Hawk Hall was also filled with mockingly cold smiles, while feeling that
the resentment they had for Mu Chen from the Greatlaw Goldpond was slightly vented
out.

Under the countless gazes in the Great Havenlaw Domain, the Nine Nether Palace
still remained peaceful.

Inside a hall in the Nine Nether Palace.

The black multitude of the Nine Nether Troop quietly stood as solemn killing intent
silently spread throughout the region, even the temperature had been lowered.

Nine Nether stood before the hall, donned in her battle armour.

Her black hair was like a waterfall and her long slender legs stood straight.

She lowered her head as she looked at the scroll in her hand.

The responses from the cities that were notified of her demands were recorded on
it.

Nine Nether had a calm expression as she looked at the responses.

Not only was she not angered, there was a smear of a smile shown on her rosy lips.

After that, she raised her head and looked at the youth that stood straight as a
spear.

She flicked her finger and the scroll shot into the hands of the latter.

“Here is the Name List.

It will depend on you next.

”Mu Chen held onto the scroll as he lightly smiled.

After that, he turned around and looked at the army that was like thunderclouds as
he faintly said, “You have heard of the mockery in the Great Havenlaw Domain.

Some people have a new lord and forgot how to be respectful.

How should we treat those people?”“Kill!”An orderly bark rang throughout the
horizon, which was covered with killing intent.

Every single Nine Nether Troop had their eyes surging with flames.

They had already endured for so many years, and finally, they no longer had to
endure anymore.

“Other people think that our Nine Nether Palace speaks reason with our mouth…”Mu
Chen swept his black pupils towards the field with a chill as his figure slowly
rose up.

In the next instant, a tremendous Spiritual Energy gale swept out.

“Today, we will let them know that our Nine Nether Palace speaks reason with our
fists!”“Go!”Mu Chen coldly barked as his figure turned into a streak of light and
flew out first.

Watching him, Tang Bing waved her hand and the Nine Nether Troop soared into the
sky like thunderclouds.

The torrential ominous aura caused many factions in the Great Havenlaw Domain to
have their heart jolted.

Was the Nine Nether Palace going to resort to thunderous methods…?

Chapter 701 - Two Choices When the torrential ominous aura from the Nine Nether
Palace soared into the horizon, it startled many factions in the Great Havenlaw
Domain.

Shortly after, there were gazes directed over in the direction of the Nine Nether
Troop, with profound meanings behind those gazes.

The Nine Nether Palace had sent a notice to those cities that were once under them,
but the news that there were only a few that were willing to comply had already
spread throughout the Great Havenlaw Domain.

Undoubtedly, it had attracted some mockery with the Blood Hawk Hall being the
strongest.

But mockery was still mockery.

Everyone knew that the Nine Nether Palace would definitely not let this matter
rest.

Otherwise, there might not be a spot for the Nine Nether Palace in the Great
Havenlaw Domain for much longer.

A force with its reputation damaged to such an extent, even if Nine Nether had the
support of Sky Vulture Emperor, it was also hard for the Nine Nether Palace to
remain.

But judging from the current situation, the Nine Nether Palace was clearly going to
take action.

However, the development of the Nine Nether Palace had been the weakest amongst the
factions of the Nine Kings.

Even though Nine Nether had successfully undergone her Tribulation, a force could
not depend on her to grow stronger.

The other Kings’ factions all had powerful subordinates beneath them, and aside
from Mu Chen, the remaining subordinates under Nine Nether were somewhat ordinary.

The competition between the Kings of the Great Havenlaw Domain depended on their
subordinates.

As a King, they were not allowed to take action… so it was still doubtful if the
Nine Nether Palace’s actions could obtain any results.

Even if Mu Chen’s performance at the Greatlaw Goldpond was perfect, he was still an
individual.

Whereas those City Lords were all formidable figures, some of those pinnacle
experts even had some fame in the Great Havenlaw Domain.

Therefore, there were two outcomes.

Whether the Nine Nether Palace could succeed in seizing the cities back, or not.

Blood Hawk HallInside a hall, the Blood Hawk King was seated on a throne, gently
fondling the armrest.

His scarlet eyes looked out of the hall with a smear of a ruminating smile.

“The Nine Nether Palace has already started to act.

” The Blood Hawk King faintly smiled as he looked towards Wu Tian, who was below,
indifferently.

“Are all the preparations done?”“All the City Lords are gathering towards the
Demonic Python City.

As long as he goes there, he can forget about taking the reputation that they had
lost back.

” Wu Tian eerily smiled.

All those that could become a City Lord all had decent strength.

The pinnacle experts amongst them weren’t any weaker than the Four Great Domain
Lords.

It was only that their ages were somewhat old, incomparable to the Four Great
Domain Lords in regards to potential.

And now that they have all gathered together, they would be a force to be reckoned
with.

Aside from Nine Nether, the Nine Nether Palace only had Mu Chen that could be
looked at.

But if he wanted to confront so many City Lords with his strength, it could simply
be said that he was stupid.

“A woman is still a woman, in the end.

It’s hard to have great accomplishments.

” The Blood Hawk King faintly smiled.

Although Nine Nether’s strength soared upon her return, she was too hasty in
handling things.

The foundation of the Nine Nether Palace was too weak, and how could be it easy for
her to take back all the territories that had switched allegiances.

Did she think that his threats were in vain after all these years?Although the
youth named Mu Chen had a pretty good potential, which of those City Lords weren’t
cunning? Furthermore, with his support behind them, Mu Chen might throw all the
reputation that he had gotten with great effort from the Greatlaw Goldpond away.

At that time, perhaps that young woman, Nine Nether, will know of the gap between
the Nine Nether Palace and the Blood Hawk Hall.

…Demonic Python CityThis was a city on a massive scale, sitting at the northwestern
region of the Great Havenlaw Domain.

It was one of the important cities of the Great Havenlaw Domain.

The flourishing degree could be in the top ranks in the Great Havenlaw Domain.

Back then, when Nine Nether Palace was able to take the city under them, many
people had red eyes.

So when she went missing, the Blood Hawk King was the first to act and swallowed
this city up.

The Demonic Python City today was clearly especially bustling.

The end could not be seen on the horizon of the city as light silhouettes flew over
from all directions, landing in this city.

The Teleportation Spiritual Array in the city was also continuously flickering.

A day before, there was news sent out that the City Lord of the Demonic Python
City, Luo Mang, had gathered fifty other City Lords in the Demonic Python City.

Those that were well-informed naturally knew the motive for this.

It was precisely to confront the Nine Nether Palace.

Although, strictly speaking, everyone was under the Great Havenlaw Domain.

But in the recent years, the Nine Nether Palace was in decline, and Luo Mang also
had a pretty big ambition.

He naturally didn’t want to offend the Blood Hawk Hall so easily because, in his
eyes, the Nine Nether Palace had declined and was incomparable to the Blood Hawk
Hall.

He naturally had quite a bit of support from the Blood Hawk Hall, which was the
reason why he dared to gather people so openly to confront the Nine Nether Palace.

There was a vast plaza in the centre of the Demonic Python City, with the statue of
a massive Demonic Python that was a thousand feet in height, overlooking the entire
city.

Right at this moment, the plaza was already filled with a multitude of people
causing a commotion, and there were light figures constantly flying over, hovering
in the sky of this plaza.

Some of the buildings were filled with silhouettes.

Every single gaze was directed beneath the Demonic Python statue, where dozens of
stone chairs with dozens of figures were seated.

Vaguely, tremendous Spiritual Energy swept out from their bodies.

Those dozens of silhouettes had a steady aura and light surging in their eyes.

They were clearly not ordinary figures.

And amongst those people, there were three whose surrounding Spiritual Energy was
the thickest.

One of them wore black robes, with a tall and study body.

His hair was short and a smear of smile hung on his boorish face.

His deep gaze was like a venomous snake.

When he looked around, he brought a chill to the hearts of others.

There was a black Demonic Python tattoo stretching out on his neck.
The ferocious snake had a biting posture and the savage sight gave off a bizarre
feeling.

He smiled with narrowed eyes and was leaning on the stone chair, while fondling the
armrest with his hand.

He wasn’t the slightest bit worried about the rage that would soon erupt from the
Nine Nether Palace.

This person was the City Lord of the Demonic Python City, Luo Mang.

He had been in control of the Demonic Python City for many years, a cunning and
ruthless person.

Also, he had stepped into the Second Grade Sovereign many years ago.

He could be considered as being at the pinnacle of Second Grade Sovereign.

He was powerful and even had decent fame amongst the City Lords in the Great
Havenlaw Domain.

Beside Luo Mang, there were two somewhat skinny middle-aged men.

They were the City Lords of the Blood Vulture City and Black Cliff City, with their
strengths similarly reaching Second Grade Sovereign.

But their gazes were flickering.

They, apparently, weren’t as calm as Luo Mang.

No matter what, offending the Nine Nether Palace wasn’t a comforting matter.

Rumour had it that Nine Nether had also succeeded her Tribulation and her strength
was comparable to a Fifth Grade Sovereign, being no weaker than the Blood Hawk
King.

“The two of you do not need to worry, although Nine Nether is incomparable to the
past, the foundation of her Nine Nether Palace is weak.

Even if the new Domain Lord has some ability, it is rumoured that he is a brat.

It’s hard for him to pose a threat in any situation.

” Seemingly to have sensed the worries of the two people by his side, Luo Mang
faintly smiled as he said.

Hearing his words, the faces of the City Lords of the Blood Vulture City and Black
Cliff City somewhat eased a little.

“We will display a formation here.

Even if that brat comes, he will not dare to say anything.

At that time, we will suppress him a little before speaking nicely to him.

I believe it will be enough to shake him.

”Luo Mang smiled.

“Also, don’t forget about the promise Lord Blood Hawk King has given us.

As long as we resist the Nine Nether Palace, we will officially join the Blood Hawk
Hall.

At that time, when will we fear Nine Nether?”The two City Lords nodded their heads.

If they could genuinely enter the Blood Hawk Hall, it was indeed better than being
a City Lord and do bitter work.

After all, even if the income of those cities was bountiful, the majority of it had
to be handed over.

“Although we have a considerable amount of people gathered here, the majority of

them are unwilling to thoroughly fall out with the Nine Nether Palace…” The City
Lord of the Blood Vulture City said.

The corner of Luo Mang’s lips lifted.

“So we have to let them be thoroughly disappointed with the Nine Nether Palace.

As long as we manage to block those of the Nine Nether Palace this time, they will
know what to choose.

”The two City Lords nodded their heads once again.

Just when they were about to speak, their gazes abruptly froze as they raised their
heads, looking at the northwestern direction of the city.

There was a massive pillar of light that soared into the horizon.

It was the light from the Teleportation Spiritual Array.

“They have really come, truly a newborn calf does not fear a tiger.

” Luo Mang narrowed his gaze at the sight of this as he coldly smiled.

Countless gazes in the Demonic Python City were directed at the pillar of light.

After that, they saw a patch of black clouds whistling from it.

A killing aura surged and enveloped the entire plaza.

Many people in the city had their faces slightly changing, they were clearly
intimidated by this troop and couldn’t help sighing with regret in their hearts.

It was indeed the Great Havenlaw Domain, even the weakest Nine Nether Palace had a
troop of such grandeur.

There wasn’t any hesitation in the black cloud that flew directly towards this
plaza, before quietly hovering in the air at last.

The one thousand people did not speak a word and had only swept their cold gazes
filled with killing intent around.

The faces of the fifty City Lords slightly changed, even Luo Mang’s pupils slightly
shrunk as he coldly sneered.
He stood up and cupped his fists.

“We are honoured by the presence of the Lord from the Nine Nether Palace, it is
bright on the face of my Demonic Python City.

”“I wonder which of you is the new Domain Lord of the current Nine Nether
Troop?”Along with Luo Mang’s resounding voice, the countless gazes were directed at
the Nine Nether Troop.

The patch of black clouds split apart and a slim figure slowly walked out of it.

He stood at the front of the Nine Nether Troop, slowly sweeping his black pupils at
the dozens of City Lords, who had a decent momentum.

Shortly after, he lightly smiled as he said in a faint voice, “A pretty good

formation is laid out.

”Abruptly, chill started to converge in his black pupils as his voice suddenly
turned as sharp as a blade.

“You are given two choices, switch your allegiance to the Nine Nether Palace once
again or… hand over the City Lord position!”When his cold voice rang out, the
atmosphere in the city froze.

Countless people inhaled a breath of cold air.

This new Domain Lord of the Nine Nether Palace was indeed very overbearing!
Chapter 702 - Golden Body “Hand over the position of City Lord…”When Mu Chen’s
somewhat cold voice rang out in the sky of this city, the commotion in this area
spontaneously came to an end.

Innumerable people were looking at the black-clothed, slender youth with shock in
their eyes.

The atmosphere in the sky also seemed to be a little frozen.

No one had imagined that the Domain Lord that was brought back by Nine Nether would
be so firm.

The moment he showed himself, he had already said those words before he was even
able to stand firm.

Was he not afraid of the rebound and falling out?There was a total of over fifty
City Lords here!Countless people exchanged a look.

They were clearly startled by the unusual actions of this new Domain Lord of the
Nine Nether Palace.

While everyone was startled by Mu Chen’s words, the City Lords that were on the
plaza, including Luo Mang and his group, also had startled expressions.

The formation that they had set up was with the intention of slightly suppressing
those of the Nine Nether Palace.

Luo Mang also believed that facing such a formation was sufficient to make a First
Grade Sovereign brat feel pressure.

As long as Mu Chen was shocked by their formation, they would have the initiative
in the next negotiation.
Luo Mang had somewhat predicted the situation, so his preparations could be
considered ample.

But at this moment, he was at a loss at this instant and realised that the
formation he had set up seemed to have been disregarded by the new Domain Lord of
the Nine Nether Palace.

After being at a loss, rage surged as Luo Mang’s face instantly grew dark.

He stared at Mu Chen and sneered, “How mighty of the new Domain Lord.

Who are you to dismiss us from our City Lord positions?!”Some of the other City
Lords also had faint anger written on their faces.

However, the majority had their gazes flickering instead because Mu Chen’s grandeur
was too excessive.

He didn’t seem to be roping them in.

Judging from his tone, was there any intention to negotiate?Up in the sky, Mu Chen
maintained a calm expression, but his black pupils were filled with a chill.

He naturally saw through Luo Mang’s intentions.

Furthermore, he clearly knew about the morality and conduct of this person right
before him.

Facing such a person, as long as you showed signs of moving back, he would want a
mile instead.

You retreat a step, and he would advance a foot.

The only solution was to cut the crap and step on his face, not giving him any
leeway!“His words represent our Nine Nether Palace!” Standing behind Mu Chen, Tang
Bing had a cold gaze as she looked at the City Lords and continued to coldly say,
“If you guys are unconvinced, then sound your opposition to the three Emperors!”Luo
Mang’s face slightly changed as his gaze grew even darker.

Mu Chen coldly swept his gaze at the City Lords and lightly said, “If there are
still any City Lords loyal to the Nine Nether Palace, we of the Nine Nether Palace
will definitely keep them.

But if you want to threaten us, I will let you understand the right of attribution
to those cities.

They belonged to our Nine Nether Palace, if you are unhappy, then my Nine Nether
Palace will cripple you.

I believe that many people will be interested in such a pleasant job as the City
Lord.

” Many City Lords had the corners of their lips twitching.

Was the Nine Nether Palace crazy to dismiss so many City Lords? The Nine Nether
Palace wasn’t afraid of those cities going out of control?However, if the Nine
Nether Palace truly smashed the jug and dismissed all of them… it would be their
loss.
It would be an incredibly huge loss; after all, as Mu Chen had said, many people
were eyeing the City Lord’s position.

The Great Havenlaw Domain was vast with experts as many as the clouds in the sky.

Getting someone to replace them wasn’t a tough thing to do.

Some City Lords couldn’t help feeling nervous in their hearts, thinking that if
they had gone too far to force the Nine Nether Palace to the position where neither
side wins…Furthermore, the Nine Nether Palace had a backing.

So even if the loss was significant this time, the Nine Nether Palace could be
maintained.

But if they were to lose their position as the City Lord, they would lose all
backings and resources.

Losing the resources support of the Great Havenlaw Domain, their cultivation path
would also become difficult.

Many City Lords had their facial expressions changing and were flustered by Mu
Chen’s actions that weren’t a concern about the consequences.

The angered expressions on their faces had also turned to hesitation.

When Luo Mang saw this scene, his gaze turned cold.

He had still underestimated the new Domain Lord of the Nine Nether Palace.

Although the brat was still young, his actions were decisive.

This hand of smashing the jug suppressed the stirring thoughts of many City Lords.

“Hmph, what nonsense are you talking about? These cities are now under the
jurisdiction of the Blood Hawk Hall.

The City Lord’s positions are controlled by the Blood Hawk Hall.

Since when is it your turn to have a say in it?!” Luo Mang’s voice sharply
resounded.

At this point in time, if he didn’t say anything, those City Lords might have the
heart to retreat.

“Everyone, don’t be frightened by him, Lord Blood Hawk King is watching us!”Hearing
the three words “Blood Hawk King”, the eyes of these City Lords flashed across with
a smear of fear.

Compared to Nine Nether, who had been missing for a long time, the intimidation
coming from the Blood Hawk King was undoubtedly stronger.

Those City Lords whose hearts were wavering secretly exchanged a glance and
bitterly smiled in their hearts.

In fact, it didn’t matter who they pledged allegiance to, except the fact that
pledging allegiance to one party would offend the other party.

Whether it was the Nine Nether Palace or the Blood Hawk Hall, it wasn’t something
that they could confront individually.
Up in the sky, when Tang Bing saw that those City Lords who were frightened by Mu
Chen to the point that their hearts were wavering were, once again, scared by Luo
Mang’s words, she instantly clenched her teeth.

At the sight of this, Luo Mang felt relieved in his heart as he sneered while
looking at Mu Chen, who was up in the sky.

“This new Domain Lord of the Nine Nether Palace, we don’t want to make things this
way.

If you want us to pledge our allegiance to the Nine Nether Palace, you should seek
the opinion of Lord Blood Hawk King, at the very least.

If he agrees to it, we definitely won’t say a second word!”Countless gazes in this

region were directed at Mu Chen.

Now that the situation had come to this, if the new Domain Lord of the Nine Nether
Palace were to retreat this way, he would probably become the laughing stock in the
entire Great Havenlaw Domain.

And under the countless gazes, Mu Chen had a smear of a smile on his handsome face.

He looked at Luo Mang and laughed, “Judging from your words, City Lord Luo Mang is
not complying with the suggestion of my Nine Nether Palace?”“It is not that I am
not complying, I only want you to ask the opinion of Lord Blood Hawk King.

” Luo Mang sneered.

“Since that’s the case, then we have nothing else to speak about.

” Mu Chen helplessly smiled as a chill swiftly piled up in his black pupils.

“Indeed, looks like we have nothing to talk about.

” Luo Mang stood up as well with his arms folded to his chest.

His robust figure was exceptionally oppressive as he coldly stared at Mu Chen.

Did this brat honestly think that he would be intimidated with those words? Did he,
Luo Mang rely on his mouth to come this far?This brat only has the strength of
First Grade Sovereign and yet dares to act so impudent here.

Does he really think that he has nothing to fear since he managed to defeat Cao
Feng?Up in the sky, Mu Chen smiled as killing intent poured from his cold smile.

He abruptly took a step forth as spiritual light poured out, along with a
resonating draconic roar.

Rustle!When the draconic roar rang out, Mu Chen’s figure disappeared.

When Mu Chen’s figure disappeared, Luo Mang’s eyes trembled.

He had retreated at nearly an instant.

But when he was retreating, the space behind him seemed to have been torn apart as
a draconic image flew out.

A palm that was shrouded in purple flames heavily smashed towards Luo Mang’s back
in an instant.

Boom!Luo Mang’s face turned cold.

He did not dodge, but threw a palm out in retaliation, along with a tremendous
Spiritual Energy that was like a current that swept out.

Boom!The two palms clashed and violent Spiritual Energy instantly wreaked havoc.

The ground below them quickly crumbled and cracks were swiftly spreading out.

The surrounding City Lords had also retreated, fearing that they would be affected
by the shock waves of the battle.

Tssk! Tssk!As the two clashed, lightning was abruptly unleashed from the surface of
Mu Chen’s body.

He had instantly utilised the Lightning God’s Physique to the limit.

His gaze was cold as he threw a fist forth.

“You think that you’re the only one that has refined your physical body?!” Luo Mang
laughed out in anger as he heavily stomped his feet.

The black python tattoo wiggled on his body nd ferociously bit his neck.

In an instant, his body was swiftly turning black, as if he was made of black
metal, being incomparably firm.

Blacklight flickered as he clenched his five fingers and heavily clashed with Mu
Chen’s fist that was flashing with lightning.

Boom!Layers of the ground crumbled, but the area that the two people were standing
on was in perfect condition.

However, the violent energy made many people’s eyelids twitch.

Those that had some understandings about Luo Mang’s strength had shock in their
eyes.

Back then, Luo Mang relied on his fist to bring himself to be the City Lord of the
Demonic Python City.

He had cultivated the Demonic Python Physique.

He did not only possess extraordinary strength, he was as solid as metal.

The power of his physique was at the peak, even amongst the Second Grade
Sovereigns.

But today, his attack was blocked by a First Grade Sovereign youth who used a
similarly powerful physique.

“Good brat, you do have some ability after all.

But you are still lacking if you want to deal with me!”The two fists clashed as
space fluctuated with Luo Mang savagely laughing out.

There was also a little shock in his eyes.

He sensed that he could not gain any advantage from the clash between their
physiques.

Mu Chen slowly raised his head as a cold smile lifted on the corner of his lips.

“Really? Then you can have a taste of the golden body’s power!”A golden light
abruptly surged in his pupils as his skin, which was dazzling with silver, swiftly
turned into bright gold.

Looking from afar, he seemed to be made of gold.

“Scram!”Mu Chen’s fist that looked it was forged with gold flew out again and
clashed against Lu Mang’s fist.

This time, a horrifying energy that was similar to a volcanic eruption burst out.

Boom!A huge noise rang out and everyone had their eyes shrink, witnessing Luo
Mang’s body flying back and crashing into the ground, tearing a deep crack that was
over a thousand feet long.

Dust rose with the area in a mess, but countless people had inhaled a breath of
cold air at this moment.

This youth actually sent Luo Mang flying with a single fist!
Chapter 703 - Dismissed The ferocious crack stretched across the black plaza like a
giant python.

Many gazes were focused on this scene and they couldn’t help having their eyelids
twitching.

Those experts that had an understanding about Luo Mang had grave gazes at this
moment because, this was the first time that they had seen Luo Mang being at a
disadvantage when competing for physical body dominance with a First Grade
Sovereign youth.

This new Domain Lord of the Nine Nether Palace was, indeed, no simple figure.

At the end of the crack, the black-clothed youth maintained a posture of having his
fist out.

His body was dazzling in the golden light, as if his body was forged with gold,
emitting an indescribable might.

Many City Lords couldn’t control having their faces changed at this moment as they
felt disbelief about Mu Chen sending Luo Mang flying with a punch that had the
power of his physique.

Luo Mang truly had an impressive capability, since he could become the City Lord of
the Demonic Python City, and also the undisputed leading figure amongst so many
City Lords.

But from the earlier clash, Mu Chen realised for the first time that despite
pushing the Lightning God’s Physique to the limit, he was unable to suppress Luo
Mang.

Ever since Mu Chen had cultivated the Lightning God’s Physique, he managed to
obtain an advantage with his powerful physique when fighting with opponents of the
same level.
He wouldn’t be at a disadvantageous position even if he was facing opponents that
were slightly stronger than him.

But, earlier, the effect achieved by the Lightning God’s Physique wasn’t as
distinct as Mu Chen had thought.

Clearly, the Body Refining Divine Art that Luo Mang practised wasn’t any weaker
than the Lightning God’s Physique.

“Looks like there’s a need to cultivate an even more powerful Body Refining Divine
Art.

”That thought flashed across Mu Chen’s heart.

With his strength swiftly rising, the Lightning God’s Physique that he had achieved
great success with was gradually not able to keep up with his footsteps.

But, fortunately, the greatest fortune that was brought to him by the Lightning
God’s Physique wasn’t the power of his physique, but the refinement of his body
from the lightning in his cultivation process.

It had laid a solid foundation for Mu Chen in regards to his physique, so no matter
what Body Refining Divine Art he was to cultivate in the future, he could achieve
twice the effect.

Based on this point alone proved that it was incomparable to the other Body
Refining Divine Arts.

After all, back then, the Lightning God’s Physique was even commended by the
Northern Sea Dragon.

Boom!When that thought flashed across Mu Chen’s heart, fragments of stone shot out
from the other end of the crack.

Shortly after, a violent Spiritual Energy swept out as Luo Mang’s figure appeared
once again.

Right now, his clothes were tattered, revealing his robust body that was similar to
a rock.

On his body, there was a giant python tattoo twisting around his body, an emitting
eeriness from the blackness.

Luo Mang’s face was somewhat dark at this moment as he fixed his gaze at Mu Chen,
before he coldly said, “Indeed worthy of being the Domain Lord of the Nine Nether
Palace.

To have such a powerful physique with your cultivation only being at the First
Grade Sovereign.

”Mu Chen faintly smiled.

“However…” Luo Mang’s voice paused for a brief moment as his gaze turned eerie.

“If you want us to pledge our allegiance to the Nine Nether Palace, my Demonic
Python City will be the first to disagree!”When he spoke out, he had undoubtedly
caused a commotion.
It looked like Mu Chen had truly angered Luo Mang.

Right now, he did not even bother with procrastinating words and straightforwardly
disagreed.

But facing his words, Mu Chen’s golden pupils were rather calm.

Clearly, this wasn’t unexpected for him.

He cast a glance at Luo Mang.

“Then, I will also clearly inform you that you have been removed from the position
of the Demonic Python City.

So you no longer have any qualifications to represent the Demonic Python City.

”“Big talk!”Luo Mang laughed in anger as his eyes became filled with a violent
killing intent.

He had risen his murderous intentions for Mu Chen in his heart.

He never thought that the latter would be so ruthless.

Not only did he want to seize the Demonic Python City, he was even trying to
dismiss him from the position of City Lord.

Luo Mang heavily stomped his feet and the ground below cracked.

A violent Spiritual Energy swept out like a hurricane.

A huge jet-black figure slowly formed around him.

A blacklight circulated on the surface of the gigantic figure.

It was like a large Demonic Python shrouding the figure with sharp hissing sounds
coming from it, causing the Spiritual Energy in this region to shake.

The gigantic figure that had the large Demonic Python twisting around it was
staring at Mu Chen with its eerie snake-like pupils as a hissing voice resounded,
“I will see what qualifications you have to dismiss me today!”“That’s the Demonic
Python Celestial Body? It is said that Luo Mang had killed a heavily injured Sky
Demonic Python and devoured its blood essence, integrating it into his body.

Thus, refining this Demonic Python Celestial Body.

Although it isn’t in the 99 Rankings of Sovereign Celestial Bodies, the might is

comparable to them.

” When everyone saw the gigantic figure with a Demonic Python twisted around it,
they instantly raised an uproar.

Some people couldn’t help exclaiming out.

After all, this method of cultivation utilised by Luo Mang was hazardous.

Integrating two utterly different bloodlines would definitely cause rejections.

If it was carelessly handled, the body would directly explode.

It looks like Luo Mang had some luck to be able to endure that and even refined the
Demonic Python Celestial Body.

“He does have some knack.

”Mu Chen raised his head, looking at the gigantic figure that had a Demonic Python
twisted around it.

A smear of astonishment had flashed across his eyes, since this Luo Mang did have
some capabilities to be able to refine such an abnormal Sovereign Celestial Body.

“You want to get your face back by relying on your Sovereign Celestial Body?” Mu
Chen lightly smiled, but there wasn’t any warmth in his smile.

He put both of his hands together and formed a weird seal.

“I’ll let you know that regarding physical bodies, you’re inferior.

Regarding Sovereign Celestial Bodies…”“You’re even more inferior!”When the last

word fell, a dazzling golden light abruptly burst out from his head and a massive
golden figure, along with a terrifying pressure, instantly appeared in this region.

The massive figure stood between the heavens and earth with a blazing sun behind
its head.

It was shining with golden light, and every single corner of its body was like a
golden Buddha, possessing matchless prestige.

Boom! Boom!With the appearance of the Sovereign Celestial Body, the Spiritual
Energy in the surrounding region was like a tidal wave as it swept out.

The golden Sovereign Celestial Body was reflected in everyone’s eyes, raising their
astonishments.

“Who are you trying to fool with that act!” Luo Mang roared.

Although he felt disbelief from the pressure that was emitted from Mu Chen’s
Sovereign Celestial Body, if he retreated at this moment, it would be tough to turn
the situation around again.

“Demonic Python Seal!”Luo Mang no longer gave Mu Chen any more time to intimidate
him and issued a bark.

A pitch-black light soared across the horizon and the Demonic Python that was
twisted around the gigantic figure flew away.

When it's large body was coiled, there was a Demonic Python light seal that was
pressing down towards the Sovereign Celestial Body that looked to be forged with
gold.

Mu Chen’s gaze was looking at the suppressing Demonic Python light seal with an
indifferent look.

There weren’t any signs of dodging; instead, a golden palm stretched out.

A golden light burst forth from the palm, looking like a blazing golden sun.

Bang!The golden palm penetrated through the obstruction of violent Spiritual Energy
and ruthlessly grabbed ahold of the huge figure of the Demonic Python.
As the dazzling golden light swept out, the black light was completely suppressed.

“A trash snake dares to speak of suppressing others?!”Mu Chen’s robust voice

resonated throughout this region as a palm slammed down, bringing down the hissing
python as it fell.

The golden palm was like a golden mountain as it heavily suppressed python’s
massive body.

Boom!The earth cracked as the Demonic Python hissed.

It was heavily sent into the ground with a palm strike, then it smashed and
scattered.

Hisss.

Countless people inhaled the surrounding chilled air because no one imagined that
the ferocious attack from Luo Mang would be scattered from a palm strike from Mu
Chen.

Why is the Sovereign Celestial Body refined by that fellow so powerful?!When the
Demonic Python scattered, the Sovereign Celestial Body that was formed by Luo Mang
trembled and disbelief surged from his heart.

Earlier, when they were confronted with physical bodies, he could at least maintain
the situation.

But now that he had summoned his Sovereign Celestial Body, he was so thoroughly
defeated?“Damn it, what Sovereign Celestial Body has that bastard refined to be so
powerful?!” Luo Mang’s face was dark and couldn’t help howling in his heart.

“Now, I will let you witness my qualifications!”After scattering the Demonic Python
light seal with a single palm strike, Mu Chen’s golden pupils were directed at Luo
Mang as the massive figure soared into the sky.

A dazzling golden light was unleashed and could be seen from anywhere within a
hundred miles.

The violent Spiritual Energy ripples went rampant in the sky, looking like golden
meteors falling down.

Luo Mang’s face was ugly as he looked at the horizon, which was covered in golden
light.

He suddenly looked at the City Lords of Blood Vulture City and Black Cliff City and
said in a sharp voice, “Act together with me!”The City Lords of Blood Vulture City
and Black Cliff City exchanged a look.

Shortly after, they could only clench their teeth as they stomped their feet and
abruptly soared into the sky.

Buzz!But when the two people soared towards the sky, there was an abnormal
Spiritual Energy fluctuation spreading out.

Countless people couldn’t help shrinking their eyes as they saw six black lotuses
descending from the sky, turning into two massive rays of light that were like
falling meteors and ruthlessly clashed against the bodies of those two City Lords.
A terrifying Spiritual Energy wreaked havoc as the two City Lords that were
intending to act were sent back to the ground.

Boom!The golden meteors fell at this moment, and the Sovereign Celestial Body was
seen descending, as well, with a golden sun in its palm thrust before it.

It was directed at Luo Mang.

A terrifying pressure shrouded over as the earth below crumbled by inches.

Luo Mang’s face had also drastically changed at this moment, since he had
distinctly felt how terrifying this attack by Mu Chen was.

“It’s not so easy for you to defeat me!”Luo Mang roared with a savage expression as
he raised both of his palms.

The Spiritual Energy within his body burst out without holding anything back.

The pitch-black Spiritual Energy was like ink, darkening the sky as it lifted
violent gales throughout this region.

Although his Sovereign Celestial Body wasn’t as powerful as Mu Chen’s, his strength
was still the Pinnacle of Second Grade Sovereign.

With a Spiritual Energy that was more robust than Mu Chen’s, he wasn’t afraid of
the two parties clashing.

At most, both sides would suffer!As long as he could obstruct Mu Chen’s drive, then
today’s matters would be left unsettled!Boom!The golden sun descended as it heavily
clashed against the torrential pitch-black Spiritual Energy that was like a Sky
Demonic Python under countless startled gazes.

Everyone had their eyes widened at this moment as the outcome would probably be
determined from this exchange!
Chapter 704 - Nine Nether Battle Will Along with the dazzling light, the golden sun
was pressed down and clashed against the Demonic Python-like torrential Spiritual
Energy under the countless gazes.

Boom!There were visible waves that were like tidal waves that spread out in that
instant of contact.

Even the firm plaza was crackling and rattling from the waves, crumbling in layers.

Ferocious cracks were also continuously stretching out.

All the figures in the plaza were also hastily retreating as they feared to be
affected by the terrifying shock waves.

“Sky Devouring Demonic Python!”In the Demonic Python Celestial Body, Luo Mang had a
savage expression as a tremendous Spiritual Energy violently swept out, pouring
into the Demonic Python Celestial Body.

The torrential black Spiritual Energy was also actually emitting whistling noises.

As the Spiritual Energy moved, it was as if there was a pair of scarlet pupils
appearing within it.

A whiff of tyrannical aura burst out from it.

Because Luo Mang had absorbed the blood essence of the Sky Demonic Python, a
tyrannical aura was also mixed in his Spiritual Energy, making it even more
tyrannical than ordinary Spiritual Energy.

When he faced opponents in the past, he had defeated many of them because of this
advantage.

But this time, he could no longer achieve that sort of result.

Not only was Mu Chen’s Spiritual Energy mixed with the Undying Flames, but it was
also still further amplified by the flames of the sun.

Thus, it was far more ferocious than Luo Mang, whose Spiritual Energy was
tyrannical due to the Sky Demonic Python blood essence.

Thus, when the Demonic Python hissed, the great sun that was falling became even
more dazzling as the flames of the sun swept out.

At the instant of contact, the Spiritual Energy mixed with the ferocity of the Sky
Demonic Python emitted a dense white mist as it swiftly dissolved.

Hiss!Another sharp hissing sound came from the Demonic Python Spiritual Energy and
Luo Mang’s face drastically changed with dense disbelief flashing across his eyes.

Clearly, he never expected that the Spiritual Energy he was so proud of would
crumble in this confrontation.

Boom!However, Mu Chen did not give him too much time to react as the sun pressed
down, heavily slamming against the body of the Demonic Python Celestial Body.

Boom!The earth crumbled as the Demonic Python Celestial Body was heavily sent into
the ground, causing the vast plaza to crumble at this moment.

Even the Demonic Python statue had been turned into dust.

Up in the sky, the golden light dissipated as a massive golden figure stood above
the horizon.

It was looking down as if it was looking at an ant, with prestigious indifference.

The dust below gradually dissipated and countless gazes were directed over at the
next instant.

When the sound of inhaling chilled air rang out, the Demonic Python Celestial Body
that was in the deep crater was utterly broken with chaotic Spiritual Energy
fluctuations spreading out.

In the end, the Sovereign Celestial Body gradually turned transparent until it
disappeared altogether.

When the Demonic Python Celestial Body dissipated, a miserable-looking figure also
appeared.

Luo Mang was staggering as he landed on the ruined ground.

His face was pale with a smear of blood on the corner of his lips.

Clearly, having his Demonic Python Celestial Body destroyed by Mu Chen left him
with grave injuries.
“Luo Mang’s Demonic Python Celestial Body has been destroyed!” An uproar rose in
this region as this scene had evidently given them a shock.

Luo Mang’s strength could be considered at the pinnacle of a Second Grade

Sovereign.

Also, with the unique Demonic Python Celestial Body, it was tough for him to find
an opponent amongst the Second Grade Sovereigns.

But.

right now, his Demonic Python Celestial Body was actually destroyed by a youth who
was only a First Grade Sovereign.

This scene was something that no one had imagined.

The eyelids of those City Lords witnessing this scene in the surrounding air
couldn’t help twitching.

The new Domain Lord of the Nine Nether Palace was actually so ferocious, could it
be that the Nine Nether Palace was indeed going to spring up?The City Lords of the
Blood Vulture City and the Black Cliff City, who had acted earlier, had ugly
expressions at this moment.

Previously, they were unexpectedly caught by Mu Chen and thus, allowed Mu Chen to
concentrate his strength to deal with Luo Mang.

Up above the horizon, the Great Solar Undying Body stood towering as its pair of
golden pupils indifferently looked at Luo Mang, before an indifferent voice
resound, “Looks like I still have the qualifications to dismiss you.

”Luo Mang’s face was pale, but he let out an abnormal smile shortly after.

He looked at the City Lords of the Blood Vulture City and the Black Cliff City with
a bark, “Lord Blood Hawk King made it clear that if the two of you allow this brat
to get away with it, the two of you won’t have any good days in the future.

Stand there and continue to watch, then!”The City Lords of the Blood Vulture City
and the Black Cliff City had their faces slightly changed as they clenched their
teeth and stood up.

Amongst the back group of City Lords, some of them had their gazes change, and in
the end, four figures stood out.

Those four City Lords had a close relationship with the Blood Hawk Hall.

They could be considered as the claws of the Blood Hawk Hall.

They knew that if they allowed the Nine Nether Palace to successfully convince
these City Lords, they wouldn’t have a good ending.

So they absolutely couldn’t allow Mu Chen to carry on.

Witnessing Mu Chen’s strength earlier, they no longer dared to belittle him.

After all, they had the advantage in numbers.

With so many people joining together, no matter how many cards Mu Chen had up his
sleeves, it was impossible for him to rival them.

Although it wouldn’t be good for their reputation, they couldn’t be bothered with
that much at this time.

The Blood Vulture City Lord’s group of six stood in the air as they surrounded the
Great Solar Undying Body that was formed by Mu Chen.

Tremendous spiritual energies fluctuated around them, causing a violent gale to

blow.

At the sight of this, a deep commotion rang out in this region.

Those City Lords are going to join together and gang up on Mu Chen who is
alone?“Haha, Mu Chen, no matter how powerful you are, can you fight with the seven
of us today?” Luo Mang let out an eerie smile as he flew up into the horizon as
well, looking at Mu Chen with a cold and complacent gaze.

“Despicable!” Tang Bing angrily roared at the sight of this scene.

Up in the sky, the Great Solar Undying Body emitted a golden light and Mu Chen’s
figure appeared on the head of the Sovereign Celestial Body.

He looked at Luo Mang’s group of seven and slightly knitted his brows.

With his current strength, fighting with Luo Mang had already used up quite a few
of his cards.

After all, he was still only a First Grade Sovereign.

If six other City Lords with similar strength joined together, it would be a tough
fight, even for him.

“Mu Chen, I do not wish to force you.

If you leave now, I can allow you to leave safely.

” Luo Mang said in a deep voice.

Hearing his words, Mu Chen smiled and looked at the remaining City Lords that had
not acted yet, “Is there still anyone else?”When those City Lords saw how calm Mu
Chen was in this situation, they felt a little admiration for him in their hearts
as they exchanged glances.

They did not answer him, and no one stood out as well.

They were different from Luo Mang’s group.

Although they could be considered to have pledged allegiance to the Blood Hawk
Hall, they were forced under the circumstances.

Also, there wasn’t anyone lacking in being drained by the Blood Hawk Hall.

Regarding good feelings, there wasn’t much for the Blood Hawk Hall.

It was just that the Nine Nether Palace was too weak in the past, so they did not
dare to pledge their allegiance so casually.

But judging from the looks of things right now, the Nine Nether Palace did appear
to show signs of springing up…“Then, it’s only the six of you.

” Mu Chen was somewhat satisfied with this scene.

There were only a few City Lords that had fully pledged their allegiance to the
Blood Hawk Hall.

Those fellows should be the heads of the spikes.

As long as he got rid of them, he would be able to easily deal with today’s
matters.

Luo Mang made a ridiculing smile and crossed his arms against his chest.

His gaze was coldly staring at Mu Chen.

“I have offered you a path to go down from, so don’t blame me since you’re not
willing to take it.

”“In terms of being having an advantage in numbers…”Mu Chen stared at Luo Mang as
he grinned, “You’re not the only one that knows of this method.

”Luo Mang’s face slightly changed as he shifted his gaze towards the Nine Nether
Troop that seemed like a patch of black clouds.

The tight formation made him slightly shrink his eyes.

“Hmph, it’s just a bunch of mobs.

” But in the end, Luo Mang laughed.

In the Great Havenlaw Domain, the reputation of the Nine Nether Troop was the
weakest.

In the past, they stayed in the Nine Nether Palace and did not respond to any
provocations.

Thus making others belittle them and did not feel that they have much fighting
ability.

“Really?”Mu Chen lightly smiled as he willed with his heart.

The Great Solar Undying Body whistled out and hovered above the Nine Nether Troop.

“Nine Nether Troop!” Mu Chen coldly barked with his voice resounding across the
horizon.

“Here!” An orderly thunderous voice rang out as the Nine Nether Troop that was in
silence abruptly glared with a whiff of indescribable Spiritual Energy sweeping
out, tearing the clouds in this horizon.

Countless people felt their hearts trembling as they watched the Nine Nether Troop,
who had kept themselves hidden in the Great Havenlaw Domain this whole time, in
astonishment.

Right now, they felt as if a ferocious lion had awakened.

“Nine Nether Battle Will!”When Mu Chen’s solemn voice rang out, a heavy black
halberd appeared in the hands of every single Nine Nether Troop and stomped them
down as one.

Rumble!A thunderous booming rang across the horizon as a surge of Battle Will
soared into the sky.

That Battle Will appeared in a substantial form and violently converged,

intertwined and turned the troop into a pitch-black ocean of fighting intent.

“Concentrating Battle Will?!” At the sight of this, Luo Mang and his group had
their faces drastically change because, the Nine Nether Troop was actually able to
form their Battle Will.

It was only a task accomplished by those troops that were well-tempered!“Don’t be

afraid! The Nine Nether Troop might be able to form their Battle Will, but there is
no one to control it.

This Mu Chen has only just started to command the Nine Nether Troop.

It is impossible for him to fuse with that Battle Will!” Luo Mang’s gaze flickered
as he sharply pointed out.

The remaining six City Lords nodded their heads as well.

That was indeed the truth, to control the Battle Will, one would have at fuse with
the Battle Will, at the very least.

But Mu Chen had just come to the Great Havenlaw Domain.

He had only commanded the Nine Nether Troop for a short time.

No matter what, it was impossible for him to control the Battle Will of the Nine
Nether Troop!But just when they finished talking, Mu Chen, who was seated on the
Great Solar Undying Body, gave them a faint smile as he gently lifted his slender
hands.

Boom!Along with the rise of his hands, the faces of Luo Mang’s group of seven froze
as dense astonishment and disbelief surged from the depths of their eyes.

They saw that along with Mu Chen lifting his palms, the vast ocean of Battle Will
was like a hurricane as it swept up.

He had actually controlled the Battle Will of the Nine Nether Troop!Mu Chen, who
had controlled the Nine Nether Troop’s Battle Will was able to concentrate a
thousand to one!That would mean that Luo Mang’s group of seven would face the
terrifying attacks of a thousand people!Thinking about it here, even Luo Mang’s
face had abruptly turned pale.

Chapter 705 - Swift Defea tThe Battle Will was like an ocean as it gathered above
the Nine Nether Troop.

The Battle Will was black in colour.

As it rolled, it was filled with battle lust and a furious roar as it resounded,
causing trembles between the heavens and earth.

Countless gazes in the Demonic Python City were watching this scene with some shock
and astonishment in their eyes.
Because they knew how harsh the demand was for a troop to form a Battle Will.

It required the troop to train together for months or even years with countless
interactions between their Spiritual Energies to reach such an abnormal
equilibrium.

Furthermore, it also required everyone in the troop to maintain a similar state of

might, charging forth without any fear.

Only when their will was poured into their Spiritual Energy, forming the individual
Battle Will, could it be converged together without any obstructions and form a
terrifying power.

A troop with the Battle Will was a terrifying one.

Also, just forming the Battle Will alone was still insufficient.

It required someone that was able to control it and give it miraculous destructive
abilities.

Thus, it needed someone to manage it so that it could be used to attack.

To control the Battle Will of a troop, it required a core commander that could
correlate with the Battle Will to unleash that power.

However, to achieve correlation with a troop’s Battle Will, it would require

training together for a long time to achieve that sort of compatibility.

The crucial point was that when the controller utilised that Battle Will, they
would have to pour the Battle Will into their body.

If their heart wasn’t firm, they could lose their willpower from the boundless
Battle Will.

The slightest mistake could result in a counter of the Battle Will, and the
consequences of it would be very severe.

Because of the various limitation requirements, when everyone saw Mu Chen control
the ocean of Battle Will with a lift of his palms, they couldn’t control the shock
on their faces.

Mu Chen had only been in the Great Havenlaw Domain for a short two to three months.

The time Mu Chen had to command the Nine Nether Troop was also very short.

However, no one could imagine that he would achieve such compatibility with the
Battle Will of the Nine Nether Troop in such a short time.

The faces of Luo Mang’s group of seven were pale as they watched this scene.

Because they knew that if Mu Chen could control the Nine Nether Battle Will, then
they wouldn’t have any chance of success.

Under their gazes of despair, Mu Chen remained quietly seated on the head of the
Great Solar Undying Body.

His black pupils were looking at them with indifference, before a slight blaze
surged from the depths of his eyes.
When Mu Chen controlled the boundless Battle Will, it was also poured into his
body.

But due to his bitter training for all these years, Mu Chen was given a willpower
that was as solid as a rock.

With a thousand people’s Battle Will gathered together, although it was tremendous,
it was still impossible for him to suffer the counter-effects.

The torrential Battle Will was like a current as it whistled within Mu Chen’s body,
causing Mu Chen’s eyes to be blazing with fighting intent as well.

He looked at Luo Mang’s group and slowly lifted his hand, before pointing it down
shortly after.

His finger fell down very slowly, as if it was bearing the weight of a mountain.

In that instant, when it fell, the space before him shattered like glass as visible
cracks swiftly stretched out.

Roar!Luo Mang’s group of seven was looking at the ray of Battle Will being shot
over.

Their faces drastically changed as the seven of them swiftly let out a bark.

The Spiritual Energy in their bodies poured out without holding anything back.

The boundless Spiritual Energy formed into seven huge light screens before them.

When the light screens appeared, they were like the Rashomon, isolating death and
life.

Boom!But there wasn’t any pause in the ray of Battle Will as it shot over.

Under the countless gazes, it heavily slammed against the layers of light screen
that stood between the heavens and earth.

Boom! Boom! Boom!The ray of light shot over, emitting a terrifying energy.

The seven light screens were shattered in an a near instant and the swift defeat
made countless people dumbfounded.

The seven City Lords joining together turned out to be as weak as paper.

Pffft.

When the seven light screens were instantly shattered, Luo Mang’s group of seven
had their faces turning red, before spurting out mouthfuls of blood.

Their figures miserably flew back and the Spiritual Energy fluctuations around them
also went in disorder.

Boom!The seven miserably retreated as the fear in their eyes grew deeper.

It’s because they saw that when the ray of Battle Will tore through the light
screens, the power hadn’t weakened and was still shooting in their direction.

If they were hit by such an attack, the seven of them would probably be dead or
crippled.
This Mu Chen was truly not intending to be lenient!A chill surged in the hearts of
Luo Mang’s group of seven.

This new Domain Lord of the Nine Nether Palace was truly ruthless with his means.

He did not even give them the opportunity to admit defeat, he was clearly trying to
kill them to warn the others!Whoosh!The ray of Battle Will ruthlessly shot over and
instantly appeared before them.

It tore through space, causing the seven of them to have their eyes filled with
dense fear.

Under that terrifying pressure, they couldn’t even surrender.

A shocking uproar rang throughout the heavens and earth as those City Lords that
were watching from the back couldn’t help having their faces tremble.

This new Domain Lord of the Nine Nether Palace is going to kill to establish his
might!“We’re dead!”The eyes of Luo Mang’s group of seven were filled with despair
as the ray of light enveloped them.

However, just when they thought that they were going to die, there was a sharp hawk
cry that resonated throughout th heavens and earth.

Liiii!At that moment, when the hawk cry rang out, a scarlet ray of light pierced
through space and arrived, heavily smashing against the black beam of battle intent
with stunning speed.

Boom!The two terrifying energies clashed together as a Spiritual Energy hurricane

swept up, wreaking havoc.

Luo Mang’s group of seven was affected by the shock wave as their figures shot out
like cannon balls, leaving behind deep ravines that were a few thousand feet in
size on the spacious streets.

Mu Chen looked at the chaotic Spiritual Energy hurricane and narrowed both of his
eyes.

Shortly after, he turned his head over and looked into the distance, the horizon at
that direction was actually presented in scarlet.

The scarlet swiftly flew over.

It was only a flash, and they had already appeared in the skies above this city.

When the scarlet light dissipated, a troop that seemed like it was standing on
bloody clouds appeared.

That troop was covered in scarlet battle armour with a blood spear in their hands.

A whiff of ominous aura was also being emitted from their bodies and soared into
the sky.

On top of the scarlet troop, there was also a similar scarlet Battle Will form.
The Battle Will was in the shape of a cloud and a figure was standing in it with
his hands placed behind his back.

“That’s… the Blood Hawk Troop of the Blood Hawk Hall!”“There’s also Wu Tian, who is
one of the Four Great Domain Lords.

The men of the Blood Hawk Hall is finally here!”“It’s great now, even the Blood
Hawk Troop was mobilised!”“…”When the countless gazes in the city were directed at
the scarlet troop, a commotion rang out at this moment.

Shortly after, many people had unusual expressions.

Looks like the Nine Nether Palace and Blood Hawk Hall have truly fallen out, even
the troops under their factions were activated…When Tang Bing saw the appearance of
the Blood Hawk Troop, her face slightly changed as well.

Her body trembled as she appeared beside Mu Chen and said in a soft voice, “It’s Wu
Tian.

”Mu Chen nodded his head as he looked at the figure above the scarlet troop in the
distance with a smile.

“You guys finally can’t sit still anymore.

”Wu Tian’s face was cold as he stared at Mu Chen.

He initially thought that the preparations of the Demonic Python City were
sufficient to embarrass Mu Chen.

However, he never imagined that not only was Mu Chen not embarrassed, it even
slapped the face of their Blood Hawk Hall.

If they still did not show themselves, the reputation of their Blood Hawk Hall
would have been utterly lost.

“Mu Chen, take your people with you and get lost from the Demonic Python City.

This is the territory of our Blood Hawk Hall, and we do not welcome you!” Wu Tian
coldly said.

Hearing his words, Mu Chen faintly smiled as he indifferently said, “Luo Mang’s
group of seven have already been dismissed from the position of City Lords.

So, in the future, our Nine Nether Palace will fully take over these cities.

If your Blood Hawk Hall pokes your hands into our matters, don’t blame our Nine
Nether Palace to not give you any face.

”Wu Tian’s face twitched as he laughed from rage, “What a great tone of speech.

I’ll see what capabilities you have to seize those cities from us!”“Blood Hawk
Troop!”Along with Wu Tian’s bark, the troop that was like a blood cloud unleashed
an orderly bark.

In an instant, an ominous aura soared across the horizon and the boundless Battle
Will spread out.

There was the reek of blood that seemed to have been emitted from it as well.
The Blood Hawk Troop was the critical fighting strength of the Blood Hawk Hall,
with an amount reaching five thousand.

Compared to the Nine Nether Palace, it was several times bigger.

However, not all of them had followed Wu Tian, so the amount at this moment was
only about twice as much as the Nine Nether Troop.

There were countless gazes from the city looking at the Blood Hawk Troop, whose
grandeur was stunning, and they couldn’t help changing.

Rumour had it that when the Blood Hawk Hall established territories, they had
committed affairs like slaughtering entire cities.

Thus, the Blood Hawk Hall had a notoriously bright name that far surpassed the Nine
Nether Troop.

Wu Tian stood on the torrential blood cloud as his eerie gaze glared at Mu Chen
like a venomous snake, along with his cold voice resonating throughout the city.

“I’ll give you ten breaths of time to swiftly get lost from the Demonic Python
City.

Otherwise, I’m afraid that this bit of fortune that your Nine Nether Palace has
will be buried here!”Mu Chen looked at Wu Tian with a cold gaze as he let out a
faint smile.

A chill circulated in his black pupils as his bright voice also resounded
throughout the sky that was reeking with blood.

“I’m sorry, but I reject your offer.

”
Chapter 706 - Figh t“I reject…”When Mu Chen’s faint laughing voice rang out across
the horizon of Demonic Python City, it caused the atmosphere between the heavens
and earth to be frozen.

Countless people were exchanging glances as they vaguely felt the sparks in the
air.

“Haha, such bravery.

”Wu Tian expected this response from Mu Chen, so the smile hung on the lips of his
mouth grew even colder.

Shortly after, he clenched his fist as the torrential Battle Will that was similar
to a sea of blood emitted a tremendous stench of blood.

Wu Tian smiled with his eyes narrowed while looking at Mu Chen.

“Since your Nine Nether Palace has chosen to act, then you guys will have to bear
the consequences.

Right now, don’t expect the Nine Nether King to save you all.

”Although he was smiling, his smile was giving off an eerie killing intent that was
dense to the limit.
“I’ll gift those words to Domain Lord Wu Tian.

At that time, the Lord Blood Hawk King can only watch as the Blood Hawk Troop
greatly suffers.

” Mu Chen faintly smiled.

“Haha, courageous!”Wu Tian laughed, facing the sky as his laughter turned eerie
shortly after.

He suddenly waved his hand with a sneer, “Then, we’ll see who will be able to
destroy who!”Boom!With Wu Tian waving his hand down, the Blood Hawk Troop that was
donned in scarlet armour suddenly let out a bark.

The bark was thunderous as scarlet Spiritual Energy with bloodlust soared into the
sky, dying the entire sky red.

The blood sea beneath Wu Tian also grew even more majestic as a might swept out
between the heavens and earth, causing violent gales to sweep out.

At the sight of this, Tang Bing’s face slightly changed.

Wu Tian was in control of the Blood Hawk Troop for so many years, so he was
somewhat familiar with the Battle Will formed by the Blood Hawk Hall.

The moment he controls it, the might would definitely be very terrifying.

“Mu Chen…” Tang Bing looked at Mu Chen with traces of worry in her eyes.

Mu Chen gave her a warm smile as he softly said, “Big Sister Tang Bing, rest
assured.

The Nine Nether Troop is your effort for all these years, they aren’t weaker than
anyone.

Also, since Big Sister Tang Bing has handed them over to me, then I will not allow
anyone to defeat them.

”Although the disappearance of Nine Nether had caused the Nine Nether Palace to
fall from a great height, Tang Bing had never given up on the training of the Nine
Nether Troop.

It was so much so that she was willing to give out her share of Sovereign Spiritual
Liquid over to the Nine Nether Troop for their cultivation.

It could be said that the Nine Nether Troop was Tang Bing’s fruits of effort.

It was precisely because of such effort from Tang Bing that the Nine Nether Troop
did not leave the Nine Nether Palace despite it declining and maintained their
fighting powers.

Although the Nine Nether Troop was incomparable to the Blood Hawk Troop in regards
to numbers, it wasn’t inferior regarding quality! Tang Bing looked at Mu Chen’s
warm smile and felt sour in her nose.

Her eyes turned a little red.

It might seem foolish for her to hold on for all these years, but she still held
on.
Now that her perseverance was acknowledged, she felt a little moved.

“Then, be careful.

” Tang Bing’s lips slowly split apart as a sweet voice resounded.

It was exceptionally gentle.

Mu Chen nodded his head and lowered his eyes to look at the Nine Nether Troop that
was donned in black armour.

From their eyes, there wasn’t the slightest bit of fear, but a fighting intent that
had been suppressed for a long time.

Perhaps they had been waiting for this day for a long time.

“As long as you guys are not afraid, then I will lead you guys to face any
opponents.

” Mu Chen muttered in his heart to himself.

Shortly after, a chill gathered in his black pupils as he abruptly waved his hand.

“Nine Nether Battle Will!”Boom!The heavy black halberds in the hands of the Nine
Nether Troop heavily stomped on the ground, along with a heavy bark that resonated
throughout the horizon like a thunderous explosion.

The Nine Nether Battle Will rose like a black cloud and covered the horizon.

Along with the two Battle Wills spreading across the sky, it split the sky into
two.

Everyone gradually retreated out of the envelopment of the two troops at this
instant, since they were clear that the moment the two parties clashed, the
commotion would not be comparable to before.

It was so much so that the city might not be safe from the impact, because the two
parties seemed like they weren’t bothered by the outcome of the battle…The entire
city was silent, only the two Battle Wills that were up in the sky were whistling
like a flood as they wreaked havoc between the heavens and earth, as if two
ferocious beasts were throwing themselves against each other.

In the frozen atmosphere, Mu Chen and Wu Tian’s gazes suddenly turned.

Boom!Two tremendous Battle Wills whistle out in an instant.

They were like myriads of waves surging as they violently flew out.

Everyone was closely staring at the sky and had their hearts lifted.

They were about to witness the two troops of the Great Havenlaw Domain confronting
one another.

But when the two forces were about to confront one another in the sky, space
suddenly distorted and a light figure abruptly appeared in the sky.

Shortly after, he flipped his hand, and the two tremendous Battle Wills were
suppressed by him with a single palm.
After that, they were reduced to nothing.

Rustle!The sudden changes made countless people go into an uproar.

Directing their gazes over, the entire city slightly boiled.

“That’s the… Sleeping Emperor of the three Emperors of Great Havenlaw Domain?!”“I
never thought that such a figure would make a move.

”“…”Up in the sky, Mu Chen and Wu Tian were also briefly stunned when they saw that
light figure and immediately cupped their fists.

““We pay our greetings to the Lord.

””The light figure lazily waved his hand.

It clearly wasn’t Sleeping Emperor’s real body that descended, but was a clone of
Spiritual Energy.

But just this clone alone could easily destroy the Battle Wills of the Blood Hawk
Troop and Nine Nether Troop.

That strength of his was truly deep and unfathomable.

“Although it is within the rules for you guys to fight, the Demonic Python City is
an important city, after all.

If it was destroyed, the loss would be considerable.

” Sleeping Emperor faintly said.

“This is not what our Blood Hawk Hall wishes for.

Mu Chen was the one being overbearing and not knowing the immensity of the heavens
and earth.

So I hope that your Lordship will dismiss his position as a Domain Lord.

” Wu Tian solemnly said.

“Our Nine Nether Palace only wishes to take back the cities that belong to us.

Your Blood Hawk Hall is the one that obstructs us.

So paying whatever cost for it should be a given.

” Mu Chen’s tone was calm, but there were hints of picking a fight in his words.

The Sleeping Emperor waved his hand as he broke the dispute between the two, “This
isn’t the place for a battle to break out.

You guys should stop before going too far.

Also, the expedition of my Great Havenlaw Domain will soon start, and the vast
territories will also be within our sight of expeditions.

So why is your vision limited to here?”Wu Tian lightly frowned his brows, the
Sleeping Emperor possessed a high position in the Great Havenlaw Domain.
With Wu Tian’s position, it was natural that he did not dare to refute his words.

But if today’s matters were to be put to rest like this, there wouldn’t be any
benefit for their Blood Hawk Hall.

“Haha, Lord Meng’s words make sense.

These cities have been managed by my Blood Hawk Hall for many years, and the Nine
Nether Palace wants to take them back right now.

Wouldn’t that be benefiting them too easily?” When Wu Tian was silent, there was a
laughter that suddenly rang between the heavens and earth.

After that, a faint light figure had also appeared in the sky of the Blood Hawk
Hall.

Judging from his appearance, it was the Blood Hawk King.

Seeing Blood Hawk King showing up, Wu Tian felt relieved.

“Oh? Then what does your Blood Hawk Hall want?”But along with the appearance of the
Blood Hawk King, another mocking voice rang out as well.

Nine Nether’s fuzzy light figure had also appeared in a flash.

Judging from their looks, the two of them were clearly paying attention to this
place.

Now that the Sleeping Emperor appeared, only now did they show themselves.

Countless people watched this scene from the city as they inwardly smacked their
lips.

They did not think that this confrontation would even cause the Nine Nether King
and the Blood Hawk King to appear.

The two forces were surely similar to a relationship between water and fire.

“What do we want?”Blood Hawk King’s gaze flickered as he sneered, “It’s possible,

if you guys want to take back those cities.

Since Lord Meng has said that this place isn’t suitable to fight, then my Blood
Hawk Troop will await you in the Military Battlefield three days from.

As long as you defeat my Blood Hawk Troop, not only will we return the fifty
cities.

I will also offer another fifty cities and five Sovereign Elixirs.

”Rustle!When the Blood Hawk King’s words resounded, it caused countless clamours.

It looked like everyone was stunned by his fortune.

In that moment, he was betting a hundred cities and five Sovereign Elixirs that
were incredibly precious.

It was said that any Sovereign beneath the Fourth Grade could experience a grade of
enhancement in their strength upon refining them.
They were treasures that made countless Sovereign experts rush like ducks.

Nine Nether was also briefly stunned, since she never thought that the Blood Hawk
King would have such courage.

It looks like he had really gambled his hard-earned capital just to deal with the
Nine Nether Palace.

“But… if your Nine Nether Palace loses, I will not request anything as long as you
pledge your allegiance to my Blood Hawk Hall.

Naturally, I will not meddle with the affairs of the Nine Nether Palace.

” Blood Hawk Hall faintly smiled as he continued.

“You!” Tang Bing’s brows slightly lifted as her complexion turned pale.

The Blood Hawk King was genuinely ambitious, using all sorts of means just to
humiliate their Nine Nether Palace.

The moment they submitted to the Blood Hawk Hall, although it was only just a
declaration, their Nine Nether Palace would thoroughly lose their morale and
entirely collapse.

From the side, Mu Chen had his eyes slightly narrowed with a chill surging in his
eyes.

The Sleeping Emperor briefly frowned his brows, but he did not speak a single word.

After all, the competition in the Great Havenlaw Domain was very intense, and only
through competitions, could they maintain the vigour between the various factions.

“How about it? If you guys do not dare to agree to it, I will not mock you.

But you can only dream on taking these cities back.

” Blood Hawk King was looking at Nine Nether with mockery as he said that.

Nine Nether’s face was cold.

She naturally knew about the Blood Hawk King’s vicious thoughts.

Shortly after, she turned her head, looking at the slender figure.

The Blood Hawk King was undoubtedly referring to a battle between the two troops,
and Mu Chen was the Domain Lord of the Nine Nether Troop.

Regarding this challenge, it would have to depend on Mu Chen’s decision.

Every single gaze was also directed at Mu Chen.

Wu Tian had his arms crossed with a ruminating smile hung on his lips as he looked
at Mu Chen.

This move from the Blood Hawk King had forced the Nine Nether Palace into a dead
end.

Under the countless gazes, a cold smile that was similar to a blade rose from the
corner of Mu Chen’s lips.

Shortly after, he raised his head and lightly nodded his head towards Nine Nether.

Watching Mu Chen’s response, Nine Nether was stunned before clenching her teeth,
and her cold voice resonated throughout this region.

“Good, our Nine Nether Palace will accept this challenge!”“Your Blood Hawk Hall
better get the things prepared on the Military Battlefield three days from now!”
Chapter 707 - Battle Formation Master “Haha, indeed worthy of being the Nine Nether
King, truly admirable!”Hearing that Nine Nether had actually agreed to the bet, the
Blood Hawk King couldn’t hold back his laughter and his scarlet pupils were surging
with an eerie and sly light.

“Since that’s the case, then I will not pursue the matter of you guys causing havoc
here.

Three days from now, my Blood Hawk Hall will wait in the Military Battlefield.

”As he had already achieved his motive, the Blood Hawk King no longer continued
with any superfluous words.

He waved his hand and a great light swept out, enveloping the Blood Hawk Troop,
which turned into a bloody light, and flew into the Teleportation Spiritual Array
in the city.

With a surging light, they completely disappeared.

When the Sleeping Emperor saw this scene in the sky, he let out a helpless smile.

As one of the three Emperors, he had no rights to stop a bet that both parties had
come to an agreement on.

At this moment, he only cast a glance at Nine Nether and Mu Chen, before his figure
faded away.

Nine Nether landed beside Mu Chen and said, “It has been tough on you, we will
discuss this matter more back in the Nine Nether Palace.

”Mu Chen nodded his head, he did not make any stops as he led the Nine Nether Troop
flying out, disappearing in the Teleportation Spiritual Array in the end.

With the two troops leaving, the silent city turned into a bursting uproar.

“Things are interesting now.

The Blood Hawk Troop and Nine Nether Troop are going to fight with everything they
have.

”“The Blood Hawk King was clearly trying to provoke the Nine Nether Palace.

Whether it was quality or quantity, the Blood Hawk Troop is far superior in
comparison to the Nine Nether Troop.

The moment such a large-scale battle breaks out, it will be tough for the Nine
Nether Troop to fight them.

”“Even half of the Blood Hawk Troop was enough to suppress the Nine Nether Troop
that only numbers a thousand.
”“Since the Nine Nether Troop accepted the challenge, they must have some hidden
trump cards…”“Who knows…”…In the hall of the Nine Nether Palace, Nine Nether sat on
the front seat with her brows lightly knitted together.

The atmosphere in the hall was clearly a little heavy.

“Looks like the Blood Hawk King has decided to settle things with us once and for
all.

” Nine Nether slowly said.

The Blood Hawk King’s eyes were vicious.

He knew that the Nine Nether Palace’s foundation right now was weak, they needed to
quickly control those cities to obtain a sufficient amount of Sovereign Spiritual
Liquid.

And so, he resorted to a bet that had a heavy profit that they could not decline.

To their Nine Nether Palace, it was an opportunity and also a dangerous trap.

“The quantity of the Blood Hawk Troop far exceeds our Nine Nether Troop.

There isn’t any advantage in such a confrontation for our Nine Nether Troop.

” Tang Bing said, worried.

In the hall, Qiu Shan and the rest remained silent as well.

They directed their gazes to Mu Chen, who had not spoken a single word.

Today, Mu Chen’s performance had already won their trust.

“How many people are there in the Blood Hawk Troop?” Under their gazes, Mu Chen
finally spoke out.

“Over 5,000, but with Wu Tian’s capabilities, he could only control half of it, at
most.

If he tries to control more than that, he would definitely suffer the counter of
Battle Will.

But just that half alone has already exceeded our Nine Nether Troop.

” Qiu Shan responded.

Mu Chen lightly nodded his head.

The Blood Hawk Troop wasn’t a mob.

They had the advantage in quantity, there’s also the fact that Wu Tian wasn’t
someone easy to deal with, so this bet was indeed not an easy one.

“Mu Chen, how confident are you in this bet?” Tang Bing couldn’t help asking as
this matter was too crucial to the Nine Nether Palace.

If they won, the Nine Nether Palace would be able to turn over a hundred cities,
which could let the Nine Nether Palace’s wealth to swiftly build up.
But if they lost, the consequences would be similarly fatal.

The Nine Nether Palace and Blood Hawk Hall had an equal position in the Great
Havenlaw Domain.

If the Nine Nether Palace was to submit, they would lose all their positions.

It was a disastrous impact to the morale of the Nine Nether Palace.

Mu Chen slowly said, “If Wu Tian can only control half of the Blood Hawk Hall, it’s
not like we necessarily don’t have any chance of winning.

Also, it won’t be an easy task for them to defeat us as well.

”His voice was deep, boiling with a bloodlust that made everyone in the hall
shiver.

Looks like this battle will definitely be a bloody one.

It concerned whether the Nine Nether Palace would continue to exist or perish.

Everyone in the hall became silent.

Crack!In the silent hall, there was suddenly a faint clear resounding noise.

Everyone raised their heads and saw a little girl donned in a black dress sitting
beside Mu Chen, her hand holding onto a fruit that she was eating.

She was naturally Mandala, who would unpredictably appear and disappear.

“Who is she?!” Tang Bing and the rest couldn’t help widening their eyes.

This was the vital place of the Nine Nether Palace, with the Nine Nether Troop
heavily guarding the outside.

So how did this girl suddenly appear here?“*Cough*… There’s no need for panic.

She… is my younger sister.

” Mu Chen helplessly sighed.

Hearing his words, Mandala lifted her brows as she bit on the fruit with her mouth.

She did not refute his words and only lazily said, “I can help you come up with a
solution, but I have a condition for it.

”Mu Chen was stunned.

“What condition?”Mandala’s doll-like face revealed a sweet smile that was extremely
pure and cute.

So much so that Tang Bing had lowered the alertness that she initially had in her
gaze.

“Don’t panic, my condition is very simple.

You only need to lend me the Immortal Page for ten days.
” Mandala sweetly smiled.

“No!” Mu Chen rejected in a near instant.

The Immortal Page was too important to him, it was utterly impossible for him to
take it out of his body and hand it over to someone else.

After all, the Immortal Page was linked to the Primordial Immortal Body, so Mu Chen
didn’t doubt the temptation that it had.

This item was something that even Earthly Sovereign experts would be moved to get
ahold of.

“You!” Mandala widened her eyes as she ferociously stared at Mu Chen.

However, Mu Chen made no yield, his expression was firm.

She only glared at him for a brief moment, before Mandala turned her head over,
huffing in anger.

“Why did you want to suddenly borrow the Immortal Page?” Mu Chen asked, puzzled.

According to what Mandala said before, she only needed to stay by his side, and she
could absorb the energy of the Mandala Flower divine runes to suppress the curse in
her body.

Mandala hesitated for a brief moment, before she answered, “The curse in my body is
showing signs of bursting out, so I require the Immortal Page to suppress it for
me.

”Mu Chen frowned his brows and hesitated for a brief moment.

“Then take me along, I will stay by your side.

It won’t hinder you, right?”Mandala was stunned as she cast an astonished glance at
Mu Chen.

Evidently, she never expected the latter to agree to her condition.

She gently nodded her head shortly after.

“Then… then I will say my thanks first.

”Mu Chen smiled.

“Can you tell us your solution now?”Mandala raised her head as her golden pupils
swept a glance at everyone in the hall.

Anyone that was swept by her golden pupils felt a tremble in their hearts, as if
they felt a terrifying oppressive force and immediately shifted their gazes.

“As a Spiritual Array Master, have you heard of the Battle Formation Master
before?” Mandala’s young voice resounded.

“Battle Formation Master?” With Mu Chen included, everyone in the hall was blankly
at a loss from her words, only Nine Nether had a smear of pondering flash across
her eyes.

“In ancient times, the Battle Formation Master could be considered as a branch of
the Spiritual Array Master.

In the Great Tribulation of the Great Thousand World, Battle Formation Masters were
also the most dazzling.

They led an army of myriads of clans and stood at the forefront of the battle
against the foreign clan.

However, that was also the reason that they suffered a great loss, even some
inheritances were destroyed.

When the Great Tribulation ended, the number of Battle Formation Masters were also
few in numbers.

Right now, no one knows if there’s any Battle Formation Master still in existence…”
Mandala said unhurriedly.

“A Battle Formation Master is able to gather the strength of an army, unleashing

the extreme boundary of the power.

If a Pinnacle Battle Formation Master controlled an army that was powerful enough,
he or she could even confront a Heavenly Sovereign.

”The hall remained in silence as the breathing of everyone increased.

Confronting Heavenly Sovereigns? That sort of fearsome existence was something that
could be faced with quantity? How was that possible?!Mu Chen also couldn’t help
licking his lips as he felt his throat get a little dry.

But his eyes were blazing at this moment, while fixing his eyes at Mandala.

“Then, do you know how to become a Battle Formation Master?”“Nope.

” Mandala lightly smiled.

Seeing her sweet smile, Mu Chen’s expression directly froze as he grounded his
teeth shortly after.

“Are you messing around with me?!”If he didn’t know that the girl before him was
not only looking cute but possessing a terrifying strength that could leave others
in horror, he might have lost control and threw her out.

“Although I do not know how to become a Battle Formation Master, this item should
be of some help to you.

” Seeing smoke rising out from Mu Chen’s head from anger, Mandala slowly stretched
her hand out.

Light flashed on her hand as a somewhat broken bamboo scroll appeared in her hand.

The bamboo had traces of blood on it.

Before it was even opened up, there was an aura of iron and blood blowing over.

Mu Chen carefully received the bamboo scroll and could see the tiny red words
vaguely appearing on the bamboo.

“Heart of Battle Formations.

”“The Battle Formation Master is, after all, a branch of a Spiritual Array Master.

Also, you have the foundation of a Spiritual Array Master, so it will be easier for
you to enter the foothold of it compared to others.

Although it cannot let you become a Battle Formation Master right away, it
shouldn’t be hard to defeat the Blood Hawk Troop with lesser numbers.

” Mandala said.

Mu Chen tightly held onto the scroll of damaged bamboo as he heavily nodded his
head.

There were too many profundities hidden in the Great Thousand World, the so-called
“Battle Formation Master” was something that he had not heard about before in the
past.

Looks like he would have to spend this time to comprehend the so-called “Heart of
Battle Formation”.

This bet was too crucial for the Nine Nether Palace, and he couldn’t afford to
lose!This time, he must obtain victory!
Chapter 708 - Damaged Bamboo Blood Hawk HallThe Blood Hawk King sat on the head of
the hall as he swept his gaze over it.

Under his indifferent gaze, no one amongst the upper hierarchy of the Blood Hawk
Hall dared to look at him.

“Wu Tian, how much of the Blood Hawk Troop can you control right now?” The Blood
Hawk King looked at Wu Tian, who was also present in the hall, as he asked in an
indifferent voice.

Hearing his words, Wu Tian briefly hesitated before answering, “It should be
somewhere around 2,500.

”The Blood Hawk King smiled with his eyes narrowed as he pondered for a brief
moment, before saying, “Although the numbers of the Nine Nether Troop are limited,
that brat Mu Chen is somewhat capable, which we have to guard against.

Also, you have to win this bet, no matter what!”“So… I want you to control all of
the Blood Hawk Troop!”Wu Tian was startled and hesitantly said, “Lord, with my
current strength, I might be countered by the Battle Will if I were to control all
of the Blood Hawk Troop.

”The Blood Hawk King gripped his palm and an elixir that was light-red in colour
appeared, along with layers of spiritual light being endlessly emitted from it.

A bizarre ripple also fluctuated from it.

“This is a Void Spiritual Elixir.

You only have to consume it at that time, and it will let you temporarily achieve
the Void Spiritual state.

At that time, you will be able to bear all the Battle Will formed by the Blood Hawk
Troop.

”Hearing his words, Wu Tian was overjoyed.

He never expected the elixir in the Blood Hawk King’s hand to be so miraculous.

With this item, he would be able to control all of the Blood Hawk Troop, and it was
entirely possible for him to suppress Mu Chen, as well as the Nine Nether Troop.

At that time, no matter how many cards Mu Chen had hidden up his sleeves, he would
still be destined to lose!“Lord, rest assured.

I will let the Nine Nether Palace regret offending our Blood Hawk Hall!” A smear of
a savage smile appeared on Wu Tian’s face.

“If there is a chance, then make the Nine Nether Troop completely disappear.

Without the Nine Nether Troop, the Nine Nether Palace is only a laughing stock.

” The Blood Hawk King smiled with satisfaction.

“I will obey the orders of your Lordship with great care!” Wu Tian coldly smiled,
he already couldn’t wait for the scene of him leading the 5,000 Blood Hawk Troop
and the despair written on Mu Chen’s face.

This time, he had to make the Nine Nether Palace thoroughly lose their reputation!…
The news about the fight between the Nine Nether Troop and Blood Hawk Troop had
already spread throughout the Great Havenlaw Domain like a wind, and also, as
expected, it caused a clamour in the Great Havenlaw Domain as well.

In the recent years, the reputation of the Blood Hawk Troop was growing stronger in
the Great Havenlaw Domain.

The total strength could even be ranked within the Top 3 amongst the various
troops, whereas the Nine Nether Troop was listed at the lowest.

Therefore, it wasn’t a battle at an equal level in the eyes of many.

Thus, they were puzzled about why the Nine Nether Palace would agree to such a bet,
despite the tempting reward offered by the Blood Hawk King.

No matter how tempting the bet was, it had to be something that they must have the
fortune to enjoy.

Everyone thought that Nine Nether Palace was blinded by the stakes and was trying
to risk an attempt.

But did they not think of the consequences if they lost? At that time, the Nine
Nether Palace might ultimately collapse.

Even with the support of the Sky Vulture Emperor, it would be hard for the Nine
Nether Palace to gain a footing in the Great Havenlaw Domain.

After all, there were many powerful subsidiary forces in the Great Havenlaw Domain
and those forces were eyeing the King seat.

The moment they obtained such a position, they would become the direct force of the
Great Havenlaw Domain.

The protection and resources that they could receive wasn’t something that an
ordinary subsidiary force could be compared to.

Therefore, it was a battle that the Nine Nether Palace could not afford to lose.
…When the entire Great Havenlaw Domain was boiling from the bet, the Nine Nether
Palace was unusually quiet without any news coming from it.

Also, the security was so tight that it was impossible for others to know of the
commotion inside.

On a mountain deep in the Nine Nether PalaceThere was a vast plain on the lush
green mountain.

On this plain, there were many figures donned in black armour quietly seated.

There weren’t any movements from their bodies, as if they were boulders.

A slender silhouette was seated on the sky above that group with his eyes tightly
shut.

Then, at this moment, he slowly opened his eyes as a light flickered on his palm.

A bamboo that was stained with blood appeared in a flash.

The bamboo was damaged, giving off a tattered sensation from it.

However, the iron and blood aura that blew over made no one dare to belittle it.

Mu Chen’s expression was also exceptionally heavy at this moment.

Shortly after, he put the bamboo that was in his hand close to his forehead.

At this moment, light surged from the bamboo and poured into Mu Chen’s brain.

An iron and blood aura flowed like a current as it poured into Mu Chen’s mind.

Countless screams and yells of battles soared into the sky.

In an instant, it was like being in a dream that returned him to the primordial
battlefield.

The scene that was ancient and mixed with bloodlust flashed across his mind.

In that scene, he saw a pitch-black troop spreading out across the region.

Their movements were in order, and every single step would cause the earth beneath
them to tremble.

It was a momentum that could not be obstructed.

Mu Chen was a little startled and his gaze was directed at the central position of
the troop.

It was as if there was a fuzzy figure quietly seated at the top of it.

That figure wasn’t robust, but a single glance was enough to know that he was the
ruler to this fearful troop.

When Mu Chen had directed his gaze over, that figure had also lightly lifted his
palm.

“Battle!”That powerful and fearful troop burst out with a thunderous roar.
Shortly after, the boundless Battle Will soared into the horizon, with space
showing signs of crumbling in an instant.

Roar!The boundless Battle Will formed in an instant as it whistled, forming into a

nine-headed dragon that was roaring towards the sky.

Space within ten thousand miles in radius crumbled as the nine-headed dragon split
it's mouth open and nine beams of light that were few myriads in size shot out.

The target of that dreadful attack was a huge crack in the space that was far away,
it looked like a Lower Plane that was torrential with a strange aura coming from
it.

It seemed to be a Lower Plane that was occupied by the foreign clan!Boom!The

terrifying light beam emitted a light that filled the pupils.

The speed was also remarkably swift to the point that it was indescribable.

In just a flash, it had pierced through the space of millions of miles and shot
into the Lower Plane.

A terrifying impact shot in but there wasn’t any expected explosion.

The space in the Lower Plane distorted and was wiped out.

Along with the Lower Plane, all the Fiend Clans in it were also wiped out.

In just a single move, it had destroyed a Lower Plane!Hiss!At this sight, Mu Chen
couldn’t help inhaling a mouthful of chilled air.

What a terrifying army and Battle Formation Master… Looks like what Mandala said
isn’t wrong.

During the Primordial Age, a powerful Battle Formation Master could even possess a
strength that could rival a Heavenly Sovereign.

Although they had to rely on the power of an army.

The ancient scenes gradually crumbled, breaking into fragments, and disappeared.

With those fragments disappearing, there was an ancient message that seemed to have
poured into Mu Chen’s heart.

That message was somewhat broken.

Clearly, it had been damaged, but the words that were occasionally visible seemed
to have a profundity in them that made others involuntarily sink into it.

“The Art of Battle Array, achieving through strength is inferior.

”“While achieving through the heart is superior.

”“…”Mu Chen was submerged in those profound words and only slowly opened his eyes
after a long time had passed.

Thoughts were revolving in his eyes.

There wasn’t any cultivation method in this damaged bamboo about the Battle
Formation, but there were some things in it that he could comprehend.

For example, the control method of the Battle Will.

Previously, when he controlled the Battle Will formed by the Nine Nether Troop, it
was entirely relying on his own strength and willpower to manage it.

Such a method was claimed as an inferior method in the bamboo.

Achieving through strength was inferior.

Achieving through the heart was superior.

But how was he going to control the tremendous Battle Will with his heart?Mu Chen
sunk into his thoughts and could not figure out for a long time.

Therefore, he lowered his head towards the Nine Nether Troop beneath him and
lightly waved his hand.

In an instant, the Nine Nether Troop unleashed a bark, along with a tremendous
Battle Will that soared across the horizon.

But, how was he going to control the tremendous Battle Will with his heart?Mu Chen
sunk into his thoughts for a long time without any outline, then lowered his head,
looking at the Nine Nether Troop below, and gently waved his hand.

The whole Nine Nether Troop unleashed a bark as the boundless Battle Will soared
across the horizon.

Mu Chen sat in the tremendous Battle Will and sensed it with his eyes closed.

On a mountain peak not far away, Nine Nether, Tang Bing, Tang Rou and the rest were
looking towards the depths of the mountain with a smear of worry in their eyes.

“Big Sister Nine Nether, do you think Mu Chen can succeed?” Tang Rou asked in a low
voice.

Nine Nether bit her lips, since she didn’t have any confidence as well.

After all, the amount of Battle Formation Masters was too few in number, nor was
there anyone that could guide Mu Chen.

So the difficulty could be expected for him to step into the foothold of Battle
Formation Master.

“With the Blood Hawk King’s character, he will definitely be unscrupulous in this
bet.

If Mu Chen cannot succeed in it, our chances of winning will not be too high.

” Tang Bing said, sounding slightly worried.

Nine Nether nodded her head as she shifted her sight onto the edge of the cliff,
where Mandala, who was lightly swinging her legs, was located.

Before she even speak out, the little girl’s lazy voice had already resounded.

“Don’t look at me.

I originally did not want to bother with this affair.

If it wasn’t for me having a request, I would not have helped you guys.

”“This is all I can do.

It will have to depend on his capability to comprehend it, in the end.

Otherwise, it will be unfitting of my identity.

”“What identity?” Nine Nether asked in puzzlement.

Mandala no longer answered and her pair of golden eyes was calmly looking at the
far away slender figure.

She was also a little curious about whether that fellow could comprehend anything
from the tattered Heart of Battle Formations.

Chapter 709 - Comprehending the Battle Will Surging Battle Will spread throughout
this region.

Mu Chen’s eyes were tightly shut and were submerged in the ocean of Battle Will,
rising up and down within it.

However, every single attempt of him trying to integrate into the Battle Will was
arduous.

If only he could control this Battle Will, but it was hard for him to integrate
with it and become one.

If he could not achieve it, then the so-called “achieving with the heart” was just
empty talk.

However, Mu Chen wasn’t dejected from his failures, since he knew that the Battle
Will was a faintly discernible existence.

It was born from the will of people and became powerful because it was integrated
with Spiritual Energy.

But because every single Battle Will was different, it wasn’t an easy task to
perfectly integrate with all of it.

Mu Chen calmed his heart down as the profundities in the damaged bamboo constantly
flashed across his mind and carefully tried to comprehend it in an attempt to
obtain clues.

Battle Will was something that integrated the will with Spiritual Energy, trying to
get ahold of it would require the will in the Battle Will to follow orders.

That was the basic requirements for Battle Formation Master.

However, it was just that there were a thousand experts in the troop, all of them
had been tempered with blood and fire, their will was unyielding.

Trying to thoroughly unleash the energy of Battle Will required both parties to
achieve trust and harmony without any reservations.

But forcefully controlling it with strength was an inferior method.

Mu Chen opened his shut eyes as a smear of pondering flashed across.

After a brief moment, he slowly stretched his hand out and the Spiritual Energy
that was enveloped around him quietly retracted into his body.

At the same time, his will had also started to relax.

It was so much so that he had even given up the resistance by instinct and allowed
the tremendous Battle Will to violently surge towards him.

Typically, when people control the Battle Will, they more or less had a resistance
in their heart.

After all, once the surging violence of Battle Will exceeded the limit of the
person controlling it, it might counter them and devour their consciousness.

Thus, Mu Chen’s actions were undoubtedly very daring in the views of many.

Boom!The surging Battle Will was like storming tidal waves as it poured into Mu
Chen’s body.

But he did not make any resistance and allowed the Battle Will to rage.

As time passed, Mu Chen’s conscious had also started to suffer the corrosion of the
surging Battle Will, which was expected.

But fortunately, he held onto a trace of consciousness, allowing his consciousness

to fall between a state of fuzzy and clear…It wasn’t how much time had passed.

Mu Chen’s consciousness had also started to slack a little.

However, it wasn’t from defeat but was orderly scattering and coming in contact
with the will of many experts that was hidden within the surging Battle Will.

Roar! Roar!It was as if there were countless yells of battle ringing out in Mu
Chen’s heart.

His will continued to try to come in contact with the will of the many experts
hidden within the Battle Will.

Although Mu Chen had obtained the acknowledgement of the Nine Nether Troop right
now, the acknowledgement only allowed him to control the Battle Will on the
surface.

But, right now, he was attempting a more profound integration that allowed him to
unleash the real power of it.

Only then, could he be considered a true Battle Formation Master!As time gradually
passed, three days had quietly passed.

During these three days, the Nine Nether Troop’s bet with the Blood Hawk Troop had
already been spread throughout the Great Havenlaw Domain under the deliberate
promotion of some people, so everyone knew about this bet.

Naturally, they also knew that if the Nine Nether Troop lost, the Nine Nether
Palace would submit to the Blood Hawk Hall.

This outcome was somewhat astonishing, since there weren’t any King forces that
have submitted to another King force in the history of the Great Havenlaw Domain.

Thus, it had practically pushed the Nine Nether Palace to a dead end.

The moment they lost, their reputation would collapse.

At that time, no matter how much the Sky Vulture Emperor supported them, it would
be tough for them to remain as one of the Nine Kings.

Some people were inwardly shaking their heads, believing that the Nine Nether King
was still too young after all.

Compared to the Blood Hawk King, who was cunning, she was still lacking.

But no matter how boiling the Great Havenlaw Domain had become because of the bet,
the Nine Nether Palace remained in silence without any panic.

This made many people feel a little startled.

Could it be that the Nine Nether Palace wasn’t panicking in the slightest?They were
so confident about the Nine Nether Troop?Under the suspicions and guesses, the
deadline of three days had already come…When the third sun tore through the layers
of clouds and shone onto the ground, nearly every gaze in the Great Havenlaw Domain
was directed at the silent Nine Nether Palace.

In an area of the Great Havenlaw Domain, the Asura King looked at the direction of
the Nine Nether Palace without any expression.

Standing behind him, the head of the Four Great Domain Lords, Xu Qing, stood with
his arms hung down.

“Lord, is there still nothing from the Nine Nether Palace?” Xu Qing waited for a
brief moment, before he couldn’t help asking.

The Asura King faintly said, “Although the Nine Nether King is young, she is not a
reckless person.

She must have some confidence to agree to the bet of the Blood Hawk Hall.

They must be making some preparations, since the Nine Nether Palace has shut
themselves up.

”“It’s said that this bet was agreed upon by the new Domain Lord, Mu Chen…” Xu Qing
frowned his brows and continued, “He must be somewhat unaware of the immensity of
the heavens and earth.

How can Nine Nether allow him to do as he wishes?”There was a peculiar fluctuation
in his tone as he realised that Nine Nether’s relationship with Mu Chen didn’t seem
to be as simple as that of a superior and their subordinate.

Otherwise, how would Nine Nether allow him to do such things?The Asura King cast a
glance at him as a smear of a smile appeared on his face that did not have any
expression.

“Why? Jealous?”Xu Qing’s handsome face flushed a little as he smiled in

embarrassment.

“Don’t belittle that young man.

” The Asura King shook his head as he narrowed his eyes, looking at the direction
of the Nine Nether Palace.

“I have a feeling that the Blood Hawk Hall will regret provoking him.

”Xu Qing was startled and sunk into silence shortly after.

This was the first time that he had heard the Asura King give such an evaluation to
a young man that was even younger than him.

Blood Hawk HallThe Blood Hawk King was seated on his throne, his eerie face was
filled with a cheerful smile.

He had two metal balls in his hand as he slowly rotated them.

His gaze, which was looking at the direction of the Nine Nether Palace, was also
filled with ridicule.

It didn’t matter if there were any movements from the Nine Nether Palace, since
there would only be one result.

After suppressing the Nine Nether Palace, he would see if anyone dared to offend
their Blood Hawk Hall in the Great Havenlaw Domain.

Furthermore, when the Nine Nether Palace loses, he wanted to see what expression
would be on the wild and beautiful face of that prideful woman, Nine Nether.

Thinking about it, a smear of a blazing light surged in the Blood Hawk King’s eyes.

While the Asura King and Blood Hawk King were looking at the Nine Nether Palace,
the various Kings of the Great Havenlaw Domain had also directed their gazes over
to the Nine Nether Palace.

If the Nine Nether Palace still kept their doors shut today, then this bet would be
a laughing stock, which was something that the Blood Hawk King wished to see.

Nine Nether Palace, deep in the mountainNine Nether was quietly standing on the
summit of the mountain.

She wore dark green clothing with tight-fitting trousers, outlining her alluring
legs, with her hair fluttering in the wind.

Her cool and elegant face was calm.

Standing behind her, Tang Bing and Tang Rou had anxious expressions written on
their faces.

This was because in the sky not too far away, Mu Chen had not made any movements
during these three days.

And right now, the bet was about to start!If there still weren’t any movements
coming from the Nine Nether Palace, they would no longer have any face to stand in
the Great Havenlaw Domain.

Everyone would be saying that their Nine Nether Palace feared to fight, which would
be a fatal impact to their reputation.

“Big Sister Nine Nether.

” Tang Bing couldn’t help calling out as she continued, “Should we forcefully wake
Mu Chen up? Even if we lose, it’s still better than being scared of a battle.

”Hearing her words, Nine Nether gently shook her head and her lips split apart.

“Wait.

”Hearing her words, Tang Bing could only nod her head as she bitterly smiled.

At the edge of the cliff, Mandala still had a leisure look on her face.

A brief moment later, she stretched her waist and directed her gaze towards the
area that was filled with Battle Will and a smear of undetectable disappointment
flashed across her eyes.

So he still couldn’t make it in the end?Mandala stood up as she patted her hands
together.

Just when she was about to leave, her expression abruptly changed and she slowly
turned her head back, looking at the depths of the forested mountain.

At that location, the Nine Nether Troop that was quietly seated had abruptly opened
their eyes.

Boom!Along with them opening their eyes, the surging Battle Will above them also
whistled out like a tidal wave.

Hurricanes of Battle Will sweep out as the scene of it became exceptionally

spectacular.

Nine Nether and the rest had also looked at that direction with astonishment in
their eyes.

After that, they saw the slender figure that was seated amongst the surging Battle
Will for those three days slowly stand up.

It was still that figure but not knowing why, there was a chilling Battle Will that
was emitted from him right now.

“He seems to have succeeded.

” A smear of astonishment flashed across Mandala’s golden pupils as she smiled.

Hearing her words, Tang Bing and Tang Rou had uncontrollable joy pouring out on
their faces.

Nine Nether’s hand, which was tightly clenched, was also slowly loosening up at
this moment and she felt that she was relieved of a significant load.

On the horizon far away, Mu Chen’s silhouette moved and appeared before Nine
Nether’s group.

Shortly after, a smile appeared on his face.

That smile was filled with an elated Battle Will to press forward.

“Sorry, I have made you guys wait for a long time.

Right now, let’s take the stake of the battle that belonged to us!”Nine Nether and
the rest looked at the confident smile on his face.

Their tightened hearts had loosened up completely.

This youth could always create miracles that others could only strive for, and this
time, it would also be the same case.

Chapter 710 - The Battle of Two Troops Greatlaw SkyThe Greatlaw Sky that was filled
with clamour was quiet today, since everyone knew that countless gazes were
gathered towards the direction of the Nine Nether Palace at this moment.

Everyone was waiting for the Nine Nether Palace’s response.

As time gradually passed, many people had their brows knitted, bit-by-bit.

Could it be that the Nine Nether Palace was resorting to the lowest strategy of
avoiding the battle?But what’s the use of avoiding it? The Blood Hawk King wanted
to sweep the Nine Nether Palace to the rock bottom, if the Nine Nether Palace avoid
them and not battle in this situation, it would be worse than losing in the hands
of the Blood Hawk Troop.

Could it be that the Nine Nether King was really going to use such a foolish
method?Boom!But when the countless experts in the Great Havenlaw Domain had their
hearts filled with doubts, there was a sudden torrential Battle Will that soared
across the horizon in the direction of the Nine Nether Palace.

Every single gaze was instantly shifted over.

In the sky of the Nine Nether Palace, black clouds soared and hovered in the sky.

It was the Nine Nether Troop.

At this moment, there was a slender figure standing upright at the front of the
Nine Nether Troop.

He was like a longspear that could pierce the horizon and a sharp aura was emitted
from him.

“Blood Hawk Troop, my Nine Nether Troop will await in the Military Battlefield!”
The youth’s clear and bright laughter, wrapped in robust Spiritual Energy, rang out
in every corner of the Greatlaw Sky.

Rustle!Along with Mu Chen’s voice, the Nine Nether Troop was like a patch of black
clouds as it streaked across the horizon, flying towards the direction of the
Military Battlefield in the Greatlaw Sky.

Huaaa!A clamour rose in the Greatlaw Sky as the Nine Nether Palace had finally made
a move.

Also, judging from the looks of it, they were going to continue fighting with the
Blood Hawk Hall.

Things will be lively this time!Rustle! Rustle!Consequently, screeches of wind rang

throughout the horizon as countless silhouettes were seen soaring into the sky from
every single direction of the Greatlaw Sky and flew towards the direction of the
Military Battlefield.

Crack!The Blood Hawk King, who had an elated smile on his face in the Blood Hawk
Hall, instantly turned the metal balls in his hand into dust when he heard Mu
Chen’s laughter.

A ferocious scarlet light flashed across his eyes as a cruel smile was lifted from
an arc on the corner of his lips.

“Wu Tian!”“Here!” Wu Tian immediately answered in the hall.

“Lead the Blood Hawk Troop and go, I do not wish to see that brat in the Greatlaw
Sky after today.

” Blood Hawk King’s eyes slightly narrowed as he said with indifference.

“Yes!” A ferocious light had also flashed across Wu Tian’s eyes as he grinned.

His figure moved, flew out of the hall and he waved his hand shortly after.

Within the Blood Hawk Troop, rays of blood light soared into the sky from all
directions.

In an instant, a killing aura spread out.

…The Military Battlefield was located at the northwestern region of the Greatlaw
Sky.

It was different compared to other training grounds as it was biggest in the

Greatlaw Sky.

Because those that sparred in this place weren’t alone, but was a troop.

Many troops in the Greatlaw Sky sparred in this place.

Thus, this area was decorated like the battlefield, filled with the scent of war.

Today, the Military Battlefield was undoubtedly especially bustling, since the
origin of that was the fight between the Nine Nether Troop and the Blood Hawk
Troop.

Whoosh!Screeches of wind rang out from all directions in the sky as a patch of
black clouds descended.

They heavily slammed onto the ground like iron spears as they landed upright on the
ground.

This caused the earth to tremble, but there weren’t any movements from their
bodies.

Mu Chen’s figure had also landed in the front of the Nine Nether Troop as light as
a feather.

He looked into the eyes of the Nine Nether Troop, which was filled with fighting
intent and nodded his head, looking somewhat satisfied.

Perhaps the Nine Nether Troop might have a flaw regarding numbers, their momentum
wasn’t any weaker.

This troop possessed potential, and if all of them could enter the Sovereign Realm,
they could even instantly kill a Fifth Grade Sovereign.
Whoosh! Whoosh!When the Nine Nether Troop landed on the battlefield, there were
streaks of light that continuously flew over and were suspended in the air, looking
from far away.

It looks like this bet had alarmed everyone in the Greatlaw Sky since long ago.

Furthermore, the other Kings could be seen amongst the spectators, so one could see
how big of a commotion this bet had caused.

Nine Nether, Tang Bing, and Tang Rou were also swiftly making their way over as
they floated in the sky.

There were also many people of the Nine Nether Palace that followed as well.

The whole Nine Nether Palace had clearly followed along.

Countless gazes in this region were gathered onto them, before their gazes suddenly
moved, turning their heads as they looked at another direction.

The sky in that direction was blood-red in colour.

Rustle!The blood-red was spreading out at a rapid speed like a stormy rain of blood
that descended on this battlefield.

Only booming sounds could be heard as the earth trembled and patches of blood-red
spread out.

Everyone’s eyelids were twitching from the sight of it.

The Blood Hawk Troop had finally appeared.

Up in the sky, the Blood Hawk King’s figure had also appeared in a flash.

He was standing in the sky as he cast an eerie glance at the Nine Nether Troop with
a chill flashing across his eyes.

Shortly after, he smiled towards Nine Nether.

“Nine Nether, if you guys lose this bet, my Blood Hawk Hall will have a King force
as a subordinate force.

”Nine Nether coldly cast a glance at him and indifferently said, “You also need the
life to enjoy that, so why don’t you prepare the hundred cities and Sovereign Sky
Elixirs.

”“Haha, as long as you guys have the ability, my Blood Hawk Hall will offer them up
willingly.

” Blood Hawk King spoke, smiling with his eyes narrowed.

Shortly after, he waved his hand and continued speaking, “Let’s cut the crap and
start the battle.

”Along with his voice, a violent gale swept up in the blood-red as the blood light
slowly dissipated, revealing figures that were donned in blood armour and shrouded
in dense bloodlust, appearing before the eyes of everyone in succession.

The Blood Hawk Troop was all donned in blood armour with runes of blood left behind
after tearing their prey apart on the surface of those armours, emitting an ominous
aura.

Standing at the front of the Blood Hawk Troop, Wu Tian was also donned in a black
armour and holding a bloody spear.

His face had a cold smile.

His gaze was similar to looking at a mouse that would soon be captured when he
looked at Mu Chen and the Nine Nether Troop.

“Mu Chen, seeing as we are all from the Great Havenlaw Domain, as long as you admit
defeat, I can be lenient so that your Nine Nether Troop will not suffer a great
loss at this time, affecting the Great Hunt that our Great Havenlaw Domain will
soon participate in.

What do you think?” Wu Tian smiled with his eyes narrowed as he looked at Mu Chen.

Hearing his words, Mu Chen smiled.

“You have spoken the words that I was going to say.

”“Stubborn-minded.

” Wu Tian faintly smiled as he continued, “Looks like you will not shed tears
without seeing the coffin.

Since that’s the case, don’t blame our Blood Hawk Hall for not being sentimental.

”Mu Chen cast a glance at the amount of the Blood Hawk Troop.

Just when he was about to speak, his expression suddenly froze as he saw the weird
smile hung on the corner of Wu Tian’s lips.

“Something isn’t right!” Nine Nether seemed to have felt something wrong as well.

Her face was slightly changing as she looked at the battlefield.

She realised that the blood cloud behind the Blood Hawk Troop had yet to dissipate.

Boom!The earth lightly trembled as neat footsteps rang out.

Every face slightly changed as they looked at the dense blood cloud where
silhouettes were appearing from.

Those people were slowly stepping out of the blood cloud and appeared behind the
Blood Hawk Troop.

It was actually another batch of Blood Hawk Troop!Judging from the amount, the
original amount had doubled!Rustle!Exclamations rang out in the region.

In the next instant, even Xu Qing and Zhou Yue’s faces couldn’t help changing.

The Blood Hawk Hall had actually sent out the entire Blood Hawk Troop!But with such
an amount and with Wu Tian’s strength, could he control it? Wasn’t he afraid of
being countered by the Battle Will?Whispers resounded across the horizon, since no
one had expected this hand from the Blood Hawk Hall.

“Looks like your Blood Hawk Hall is taking out everything you have.
” Mu Chen’s brows slightly frowned at the sight of this scene as he slowly said.

“Haha, it’s a little too late for you to regret it.

” Wu Tian smiled as his eyes narrowed at Mu Chen with a mocking gaze.

“Aren’t you afraid of the counter with your strength?” asked Mu Chen.

Chapter 711 - Competing Battle Wills The torrential blood-red Battle Will swept out
and the initially bright heavens and earth gradually grew dark.

There was a vague suppression feeling as the stench of blood spread out.

Every single gaze was a little grave as they looked at the Blood Hawk Troop, which
was emitting a terrifying Battle Will.

At this moment, the latter was like a bloodthirsty ferocious beast that had just
come out of a mountain of corpses and ocean of blood, as if it would tear the enemy
that stood before it apart.

Amongst the Troops in the Great Havenlaw Domain, the Blood Hawk Troop might not be
the strongest.

But the bloodlust that they held was in the top rank and it could only be
accumulated after countless bloodsheds.

In the past, amongst the competitions, who knows how many sects and forces were
torn apart under the blood spears of the Blood Hawk Troop…And right now, the blood
spears of the Blood Hawk Troop that were drenched in blood were lifted once again.

However, the tip of the spears were pointed at the Nine Nether Troop.

No one knew if the Nine Nether Troop could keep themselves safe from such a
formidable opponent.

Gazes were shifted over to the direction of the Nine Nether Troop.

The silhouettes that were donned in black armour still stood up straight.

There wasn’t any fear in their eyes, only surging fighting intent was present.

Under everyone’s attention, Mu Chen and Wu Tian’s gazes intertwined as a chill

surged in their eyes.

A tremendous amount of Spiritual Energy slowly poured out from the two of them.

Shortly after, their figures slowly rose up, instantly facing each other as they
sat down in the sky.

“Blood Hawk Battle Will!” Wu Tian did not have any intentions of being polite with
Mu Chen and gave the latter a cold smile, while waving his hand, and his sharp bark
suddenly rang out across the sky.

Boom!The blood-scarlet Battle Will that was initially spreading out started to
sweep out like an ocean of blood, hovering above the Blood Hawk Troop.

As it drifted, bloodlust was also emitted from it.

“I will see to what extent can you use the Battle Will when you have just become a
Domain Lord for just two to three months!” Wu Tian mocked as he pointed with his
finger.

“Blood Shadow Battle Will - Blood Spear Demonic Spiritual Array!”Buzz! Buzz!Along
with Wu Tian’s bark, the countless blood lights in the blood sea of Battle Will
surged as they formed into a colossal blood-red spear.

That spear was formed with Battle Will.

It was extremely sharp and the attack was something that even a Third Grade
Sovereign expert wouldn’t belittle.

After all, this attack wasn’t from Wu Tian alone, it was supported by the 5,000
Blood Hawk Troops!Although this Blood Spear Demonic Spiritual Array was called an
array, it was just a joke.

If Wu Tian could form a real Battle Array, Mu Chen would just admit defeat.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Countless blood spears were formed as the noises of the air being
pierced resounded with the tremble of Wu Tian’s sleeve.

Those blood spears were like a blood storm as they shot towards the direction of
the Nine Nether Troop.

It could not be avoided from the scope of the envelopment.

“Nine Nether Battle Will!”Mu Chen’s gaze was sharp as he looked at the blood storm
that was pressing forth from every direction.

He waved his hand as the heavy halberds in the hands of the Nine Nether Troop
heavily smashed the ground and a surging black Battle Will soared into the horizon.

It was as black as ink, rendering the sky black, as if it was night time.

Mu Chen’s hands were also swiftly forming seals, before he abruptly slapped down.

Boom!Boundless black Battle Will that was like a tidal wave swept out, forming into
a light screen that was a few thousand feet in size.

It was like a massive pitch-black shield that was extremely firm.

Tsk! Tssk!The blood spears flew over from every direction and smashed against the
light screen that was made of Battle Will.

In an instant, smoke rose.

That scene was like magma entering the ocean, emitting ‘tsk’ noises as they swiftly
turned into cold stones and fell down.

“Haha, you are trying to compete to see if that thousand member Nine Nether Troop
or my Blood Hawk Troop is more powerful?!” At the sight of this, a mocking smile
rose on the corner of Wu Tian’s lips.

Shortly after, he pointed in the air once again.

Buzz! Buzz!At the rear, countless blood spears were forming as they endlessly shot
over.
Judging from the looks of it, Wu Tian was actually trying to exhaust Mu Chen and
the Nine Nether Troop to death with Battle Will that was more robust.

When everyone saw this scene, their brows gently knitted.

Because of the advantage the Blood Hawk Troop had in numbers, the Battle Will
formed by them was more powerful than the Nine Nether Troop.

Although Wu Tian had yet to exert his full strength, it would be tough for the Nine
Nether Troop to defend themselves under this exhaustion if time dragged.

“The difference between the quantity of the Nine Nether Troop and the Blood Hawk
Troop is too great.

” Some people inwardly shook their heads.

Judging from the current situation, the Nine Nether Troop might not be able to last
for a long time.

Right from the start, there wasn’t any suspense in this battle.

Mu Chen acted as if he had not noticed those pitying gazes that were directed over.

He looked at the stormy attacks that came wave-after-wave, his youthful face
maintaining a calm expression.

When he waved his sleeves, the Battle Will endlessly swept out, strengthening the
defence.

The offence and defence of the two parties were in a deadlock.

However, as time passed, the gazes that were directed at the Nine Nether Troop
gradually changed from pity to astonishment.

Because they realised that after facing such a violent attack, the Nine Nether
Troop actually showed no signs of loosening up.

It was so much so that there wasn’t the slightest decline.

“How is this possible?” The experts in the Great Havenlaw Domain were stupefied.

The Asura King, the Mountain Splitting King and the rest also had their eyes
lightly flickered.

Shortly after, they looked at Nine Nether, who was sitting down, with thoughtful
gazes as they muttered, “Now things are interesting.

”Under the countless astonished gazes, Mu Chen slowly raised his head as he coldly
looked at Wu Tian and smiled.

“Let’s stop messing around.

”Hearing his words, the edge of Wu Tian’s lips twitched as he coldly smiled.

“It’s no wonder why you dared to take up the challenge, so it turns out that you
have something to rely on.

So it was me being careless then.

”“Take out your real capabilities then.

If this is the only strength that you can bring out, then it will bring the Blood
Hawk Troop to waste.

” Mu Chen said.

“Your words before have truly angered me.

The previous attacks were just probing…” Wu Tian said lightly, except that dense
killing intent and anger were surging in his eyes.

“Since you want to experience how powerful my Blood Hawk Troop is, then I don’t
mind fulfilling your request!”When Wu Tian’s voice gradually fell, his pupils had
also gradually turned red.

Shortly after, he slowly lifted his hands.

In an instant, there was a bloodthirsty roar coming from the Blood Hawk Troop.

Roar!Wu Tian slowly formed seals with his hands.

Along with the changes of his seals, the torrential scarlet Battle Will emitted a
violent roar and the surging Battle Will became much stronger than before.

Evidently, Wu Tian understood that the Nine Nether Troop before him wasn’t so easy
to deal with, he had to bring out everything he had!“Blood Hawk Battle Seal -
Suppressing the Eight Desolates!”Wu Tian’s hands abruptly froze as the redness in
his eyes violently expanded.

With a lift of both of his hands, the scarlet Battle Will behind him instantly
swept out, directly forming into a colossal mountain-sized scarlet light seal.

It was as if savage-looking blood hawks were on the light seal that were unfolding
their wings, directing the sharp hawk eyes onto this land.

Along with the appearance of the blood light seal, the Spiritual Energy between the
heavens and earth seemed to have boiled as an indescribable pressure shrouded out.

Under that pressure, even experts with the strength of Third Grade Sovereign
couldn’t help having their faces change.

Some experts that were well-aware of the Blood Hawk Troop had their gazes turning
grave.

In the past expeditions, many experts were suppressed into mincemeat by this Blood
Hawk Battle Will.

This Wu Tian had finally resorted to his real means.

Mu Chen lifted his head.

The massive blood seal was reflecting in his pupils, causing his gaze to turn a
little grave.

Although Wu Tian was hateful, it was a fact that he wasn’t an ordinary figure.

In his hands, the Blood Hawk Troop had displayed an impressive strength.
If he wasn’t here, just this suppressive attack alone could land the Nine Nether
Troop with enormous casualties.

However, there wasn’t any “if’s” in this world.

“I’ll see how long you are going to speak tough!” Wu Tian looked at Mu Chen with a
cruel grin.

He abruptly slammed his palm down and the mountain-sized blood seal penetrated
through the void, appearing above the Nine Nether Troop with a flash and madly
pressed down.

Rumble!This battlefield instantly started to crumble as giant cracks swiftly

stretched out.

Rumble!The earth was steadily crumbling as Mu Chen’s clothes became stuck to his
body from the pressure.

He lowered his head and cast a glance at the boulder-like Nine Nether Troop and
faintly smiled.

“Nine Nether Troop, after enduring for so many years, let’s unfold your wings along
with me.

Let the name of Nine Nether Troop resound throughout the Great Havenlaw Domain!”Mu
Chen’s murmurings silently rang out in the hearts of every single Blood Hawk Troop.

Their gazes had also suddenly turned blazing and sharp.

They had endured for so many years, and now they can finally break out?Boom!
Countless people were in sudden shock as they saw large pillars of black light
soaring up.

The Battle Will that was contained within had reached a stunning level.

Many experts had their faces slightly changing, showing weird gazes.

How could the Battle Will that was unleashed from the Nine Nether Troop be so
powerful?Mu Chen lifted his head as he slowly opened his hands, spreading his
consciousness into the surging Battle Will and formed a seal with one hand.

Buzz!Under the interaction of the unmeasurable Battle Will light pillar, space
slowly tore apart as black light wings that were a thousand feet in size slowly
formed.

The violent gales between the heavens and earth had reached a violent limit at this
instance.

“Nine Nether Wings - Slashing the Heavens!”A sharp splendour gathered in Mu Chen’s
eyes as he bent two of his fingers and heavily swiped down in the air before him.

Liii!At this instant, it was as if a clear cry resounded as the black wings became
similar to a heavenly sword and slashed down, drawing a black light arc as it
gently clashed against the suppressing blood battle seal.

In that instant of contact, everyone’s breathing quickly froze.

Chapter 712 - Blood Sacrificial Battle Will Rustle!Pitch-black light wings flew
across the horizon and clashed with the Blood Hawk Battle Seal that was pressing
down under innumerable gazes.

However, there wasn’t any alarming noises from the moment of collision that
everyone had expected.

When the two surging Battle Wills came in contact, only space was endlessly
fluctuating as the two energies frantically tried to devour one another, in an
attempt to suppress the other party.

Every single gaze was focused towards the sky.

The deadlock caused Wu Tian’s face to grow dark.

This deadlock wasn’t something that he wanted to see.

The amount of their Blood Hawk Troop was five times of the Nine Nether Troop, it
shouldn’t be a partial suppression!“I’ll see how long you can last!”Wu Tian spoke
as his face grew dark.

Shortly after, his seals changed as the blood-red Battle Will behind him swept out,
endlessly pouring towards the Blood Hawk Battle Seal.

Their Battle Will was greater than the other party, as long as this deadlock
remained, Mu Chen’s party would certainly lose!The Blood Hawk Battle Seal’s power
sharply increased all of a sudden, causing Mu Chen to slightly narrowed his eyes.

Shortly, after, he inhaled a deep breath and formed a blade with his hand, then
abruptly chopped down!Rustle!The space before him was actually torn apart by his
hand alone.

Tsssssii!An ear-piercing noise rang out in the sky, causing countless people to
abruptly shrink their pupils because there was a massive crack, caused by the black
light wings, on the Blood Hawk Battle Seal.

“How is that possible?!” Innumerable people were dumbfounded.

No one expected the battle seal formed from the majestic Battle Will consisted of
the Blood Hawk Troop to be torn apart!Wu Tian was also stunned for a brief instant.

It only lasted a moment because Mu Chen did not give him any chance.

He waved his palm down with a calm expression on his handsome face.

When his palm that was shaped like a blade chopped down, a few powerful experts
vaguely felt the Nine Nether Battle Will that was spreading out become extremely
boiled and lively in that instant.

A dark light streaked across the horizon as the black wings swept down.

The crack on the Blood Hawk Battle Seal was instantly broadened to the limit and,
after that, was split into two!Rumble!The Blood Hawk Battle Seal exploded in the
air, turning into flicks of light as it slowly dissipated.

As the light dissipated, the faces of Wu Tian and the Blood Hawk Troop were
stunned.

Rustle!In the sky of the battlefield, an uproar exploded as countless experts were
exchanging gazes.
They could not figure out how Mu Chen could achieve this feat.

After all, regarding the size of the Battle Will, the Battle Will of the Blood Hawk
Troop was undoubtedly much stronger!“What’s going on?” Xu Qing was also astonished
at this scene and couldn’t help enquiring the Asura King, who was in front of him.

According to normal situations, the Nine Nether Troop should be the one defeated
right now! The Asura King also had his brows slightly knitted as he narrowed his
eyes shortly after and said in a soft voice, “This Mu Chen is, indeed, not simple.

Can’t you see anything?”Xu Qing hesitated for a brief moment before saying, “It
seems to me like the Nine Nether Troop’s Battle Will was much stronger under his
control.

”“If you were the one controlling the Nine Nether Troop, could you achieve such a
feat?” The Asura King said slowly.

Xu Qing fell into silence and shook his head shortly after.

If he was the one controlling the Nine Nether Troop, it was impossible for him to
defeat Wu Tian, who was commanding the Blood Hawk Troop.

“Precisely.

That means that Mu Chen’s comprehension and control of the Battle Will far surpass
all of you,” said the Asura King.

“How is that possible?” Xu Qing was dumbfounded.

Mu Chen had only just arrived in the Great Havenlaw Domain for a short amount of
time, and he shouldn’t have come in contact with Battle Will in the past, right?
Whereas they had been submerged in it for years.

“That’s why I’m saying that he’s not simple.

” The Asura King said faintly.

Xu Qing was speechless.

“Doesn’t that mean that he will definitely win the battle?”“It won’t be that easy.

Although Mu Chen’s comprehension and control over Battle Will far surpasses you
guys, the Blood Hawk Troop isn’t an easy opponent, neither was Wu Tian.

If he were to fight without regards to his life, it would also be very troublesome
for Mu Chen.

After all, the Nine Nether Troop is lacking, to begin with.

” The Asura King said slowly.

Xu Qing lightly nodded his head, raised it again and looked at the slender
silhouette in the sky with a somewhat complicated gaze.

On another side of the horizon, the Blood Hawk King’s face was already a little
unsightly from the earlier stalemate.

Now that the Blood Hawk Battle Seal was broken, his face was ashen.
“Hmph!”Blood Hawk King heavily snorted.

His snort was as resounding as thunder, ringing in Wu Tian’s ears.

It had also shaken him awake from being stunned and his face paled.

“Looks like quantity doesn’t determine the victory.

” Mu Chen looked at Wu Tian, whose face was pale and unsightly, with a faint smile.

The chances of beating someone that had fallen into the water was something that he
naturally wouldn’t let up.

Wu Tian’s face was a little distorted as he viciously glared at Mu Chen and eerily
said, “Mu Chen, it’s still too early for you to be rejoicing!”“Did you really think
that my Blood Hawk Troop is merely kneading dough!”Wu Tian sharply howled as he
showed a savage expression on his face and slammed the blood spear in his hand.

In an instant, the blood-red Battle Will was like a tidal wave as it swept
violently towards Mu Chen from every direction.

After experiencing failure, he had apparently lost the calm that he initially had.

Mu Chen looked at the large-scale offence of Battle Will.

He remained calm and unhurried.

As he swept his sleeves, the Nine Nether Battle Will swept out as well and clashed
against the Blood Hawk Battle Will that was pouring over.

Boom! Boom!Two surges of Battle Wills clashed together as a stunningly booming clap
resonated across the sky.

A violent gale was swept out as it wreaked havoc.

Immediately, sand and stones were swept up in this region with dreadful momentum.

Such an attack was naturally willed by Wu Tian.

But upon clear observation, one would realise that no matter how violent the
attacks were, it could not break through the defence of the Nine Nether Battle
Will.

Thus, it could not bring harm to Mu Chen or any of the warriors in the Nine Nether
Troop.

Regarding the control over Battle Will, he was clearly inferior to Mu Chen!As the
offence intensified, Wu Tian also started to sense the situation.

Although he didn’t wish to admit it, the cruel facts made him understand that
blindly attacking would only pointlessly drag the time.

And as time drags further, it would be even more unfavourable for them.

Because, judging from the surface, they should have swiftly obtained victory.

“This bastard!”Wu Tian’s eyes grew red as a ferocious light constantly flickered
within them.
In the end, he clenched his teeth.

No matter what price he had to pay, they definitely had to win this bet, no matter
what.

Otherwise, the Blood Hawk King was bound to be enraged.

“You forced me to do this!”Wu Tian coldly muttered to himself as he waved his hand.

The offence abruptly retreated.

He viciously glanced at Mu Chen, before lowering his head towards the Blood Hawk
Troop and eerily said, “Blood Sacrificial Battle Will!”Hearing his bark, the Blood
Hawk Troop was also briefly stunned with clear traces of hesitation in their eyes.

But in the end, they bit their tongue as countless blood arrows shot out from their
mouths.

Whoosh! Whoosh!Those blood arrows flew into the majestic Battle Will.

In an instant, it dyed the scarlet Battle Will with even more fresh blood.

Looking from afar, it looked like a blood river, while the faces of the Blood Hawk
Troop turned much paler.

Boom!The dense sea of bloody Battle Will rolled behind Wu Tian.

The torrential stench of blood caused this region to turn slightly dark, as if the
apocalypse had arrived.

“Divine Shattering Blood Demon Spear!”Wu Tian’s face was covered with savagery as
he formed seals with both of his hands.

Shortly after, his palms were abruptly lifted as the sea of blood instantly soared
into the horizon.

It violently converged in the sky, and as a blood rain fell, a demonic spear that
was approximately a thousand feet slowly appeared from the blood rain.

With the appearance of the bloody spear, a violently-chilled, trembling air swept
up.

Outside of the battlefield, many experts couldn’t help having their faces change.

Wu Tian had really gone insane.

He had executed the greatest card of the Blood Hawk Troop.

This was an attack that could even kill a Third Grade Sovereign!The faces of Tang
Bing and the rest were a little pale.

They never imagined that Wu Tian would be so unscrupulous.

“Your Blood Hawk Hall is truly ruthless.

” Nine Nether cast her cold gaze towards the Blood Hawk King.

“My Blood Hawk Hall never shows leniency when fighting others.
” The Blood Hawk King coldly smiled.

A chill flashed across Nine Nether’s pupils, but she did not speak any further.

She directed her gaze onto the slender silhouette that was standing in the sky
above the Nine Nether Troop.

She had already made her decision.

In the event that the situation wasn’t optimistic, she would act out, even if she
had to break the rules.

“Mu Chen, why don’t you show me how you block this?!” Wu Tian let out a savage
laughter.

As the blood rain fell, it made his face seem even more distorted and horrifying.

Mu Chen narrowed his gaze as he looked at the chilling spear that was hovering in
the horizon.

He did not have the mood to bother with Wu Tian as he slowly shut his eyes.

“As long as you guys don’t have fear, I will lead you guys to defeat any enemy.

”A deep, dream-like voice abruptly rang out in the hearts of the whole Nine Nether
Troop.

“No fear!”“No fear!”A heavy voice rang throughout the hearts of every single
warrior of the Nine Nether Troop.

Shortly after, they heavily drilled the heavy halberds in their hands into the
ground.

After that, they kneeled onto a single leg and tightly gripped their heavy
halberds.

Their heads were slowly lowering towards the silhouette in the sky.

Boom! Boom!In that instant, the torrential Battle Will that was like a black pillar
of ink soared into the horizon.

After that, the Battle Will was like a hurricane as it enveloped Mu Chen, violently
whistling as if there were howls and yells filled with fighting intent.

Mu Chen slowly opened his arms as he allowed the Battle Will hurricane to howl, his
will had also entirely integrated into that violent Battle Will…Thereupon, the
Battle Will hurricane started to expand at an astonishingly swift speed.

Everyone’s faces changed, even the savage expression on Wu Tian’s face slowly
froze.

That’s because they could sense that the Battle Will around Mu Chen was soaring in
folds.

In just a few breaths of time, it had already surpassed the Battle Will formed by
the Blood Hawk Hall!“How is that possible…?”Countless shocked voices resounded as
they looked at that silhouette, which had his arms opened out in the Battle Will
hurricane.
At this moment, they were at loss of words.

That young man’s control over the Battle Will has actually reached such heights?!
Chapter 713 - Victory Rustle!The colossal Battle Will hurricane violently spun
around Mu Chen as the surging majestic Battle Will filled the region, causing many
people to have their expressions turning grave.

Everyone could sense that the Battle Will that was being unleashed by the Nine
Nether Troop had far surpassed the Blood Hawk Troop!“How is that possible?!”Someone
couldn’t help exclaiming.

The Nine Nether Troop was only numbered around 1,000, while the Blood Hawk Troop
had 5,000.

Regarding quantity, it was a one-sided suppression.

Furthermore, the strength of the Blood Hawk Troop’s warriors wasn’t any weaker than
the Nine Nether Troop.

They couldn’t understand where such powerful Battle Will of the Nine Nether Troop
came from.

However, those Kings, like the Asura King and Mountain Splitting King, who had keen
eyes, had their brows slightly frowned as they looked at the silhouette in the
hurricane with heavy expressions.

“Looks like I have still belittled him in the end.

” The Asura King slowly said to Xu Qing, “With his comprehension and control over
Battle Will, I’m afraid that he possesses the talent to become a Battle Formation
Master.

”“Battle Formation Master?” The corner of Xu Qing’s eyes involuntarily twitched.

He was a Domain Lord as well, and thus, he had to command troops.

So, he naturally knew how rare and powerful Battle Formation Masters were, it was
also once his dream.

However, his talent in the field of Spiritual Arrays wasn’t high, so it wasn’t
possible for him to become a Battle Formation Master.

“These days, Battle Formation Masters are even rarer than Spiritual Array Masters.

Without any guidance, I’m afraid that it will be hard to gain any achievements in
the field of Battle Formation.

” The Asura King said with slight pity.

If there’s a Battle Formation Master in their Great Havenlaw Domain, the increment
to their strength would undoubtedly be astonishing.

“Ordinary commanders could only bring out 10-20% of a Battle Will at best.

But Mu Chen’s comprehension regarding Battle Will had enabled him to bring out all
the power of a Battle Will.

”The Asura King sighed, “I’m afraid there’s a result to this bet… No wonder Nine
Nether dared to accept the challenge of the Blood Hawk Hall, so she had such a
reliance.

This time, the Blood Hawk Hall has truly tried to seal a chicken only to end up
losing the rice used to lure it.

”Xu Qing speechlessly lifted his head.

In the sky, the Battle Will hurricane was expanding.

As it wreaked havoc, it constantly tore apart this battlefield.

“This is a bluff!”Wu Tian’s face was frighteningly dark as a smear of fear flashed
in the depths of his eyes.

Because the strength displayed by Mu Chen made him honestly feel fear.

It seems that no matter what cards he brings out, it was impossible to surpass and
suppress that fellow.

It seemed that beneath that youthful face was an unfathomable heart.

But no matter what mood he had in his heart, Wu Tian knew that he could not fall
back right now.

If he placed his life on the line, there might be a path of retreat for him.

But if he were to fall back and retreat, it would spell doom to himself.

“I refuse to believe that with your strength at First Grade Sovereign, you can
truly go against the heavens!” Wu Tian clenched his teeth as his reddened eyes
flickered with viciousness.

Shortly after, he no longer had any hesitation as he waved his palm down.

The spear that was drenched with blood, hovering in the sky, abruptly shot down.

Rustle!The speed of the spear was astonishing, and as the reeking wind blew, it
tore space and instantly appeared above the Battle Will hurricane as the terrifying
gale tore fractures in space.

This was the strongest attack gathered from the Blood Hawk Troop, so it was indeed
powerful.

Facing such an attack, even an expert of Third Grade Sovereign might not be able to
take it.

However, Mu Chen’s expression had remained calm right from the start.

Then, his tightly shut eyes opened right at this moment.

His black pupils were like the starry sky, being abnormally abstruse and could not
be seen through.

He formed seals with both of his hand and gently joined them together.

Buzz! Buzz!The massive Battle Will hurricane around him violently twisted at this
moment as the colour turned even darker.
Looking at it, it was like a black dragon that was soaring between the heavens and
earth.

“Nine Nether’s Plume!”Mu Chen lifted his hand as a colossal black plume gently rose
at the summit of the hurricane.

The plume was in the shape of a sword.

From its appearance, it was like a plume sword.

At the blade of the sword, the plume seemed to be covered in fine saw teeth as the
chilling black light looked like it could penetrate through space.

Mu Chen’s gaze was calm as two of his slender fingers pointed in the space.

Buzz! Buzz!The pitch-black plume sword was vibrating at a rapid speed at this
moment, and with a shake, it disappeared.

When it appeared again, it was already beneath the spear, with the sharp end of the
sword soaring up.

The spear tip and sword tip were like two needles as they clashed together.

Ding!A clear and crisp metallic sound exploded in the sky as two terrifying Battle
Wills violently howled.

Black and red each occupied half of the sky.

“Break for me!”Wu Tian’s face wore a savage expression as his roar resounded in the
sky.

Ripples of scarlet Battle Will violently surge over, clearly intending to make the
final confrontation with every ounce of power left.

Mu Chen’s black pupils faintly cast a glance at Wu Tian, before gently waving down
his two fingers, “Break, then!”A smear of dark light abruptly burst out from the
tip of the black plume sword.

Rustle!When the dark light blossomed and disappeared, it was just a wink of an eye,
and the plume sword had already appeared at the rear of the blood-red demonic
spear.

A fine crack slowly spread out from the body of the spear…Crack!When the crack
stretched out to the end, the blood spear was quickly split into two as it
powerlessly fell.

At the same time, it burst into sparks that were incredibly gorgeous.

Pffft!When the blood spear was split into two, Wu Tian’s face instantly turned
pale.

Even the Blood Hawk Troop below seemed like they suffered heavy damage as blood
seeped out from the corner of their lips.

In the sky, the Blood Hawk Battle Will that was initially violent and wreaking
havoc was swiftly retreating at a stunning speed.

In just several breaths of time, the blood-red Battle Will that dyed half of the
sky had disappeared.
The Blood Hawk Troop that initially had the advantage between their battle with the
Nine Nether Troop had actually suffered a crushing defeat!Rustle!When this scene
appeared, an uproar instantly rose in the sky outside the battlefield.

Many experts wore grave expressions.

Although they had not uttered a word, they were somewhat shaken in their hearts.

It’s because they couldn’t stay calm at this result.

Not only did the Blood Hawk Troop have an advantage in quantity, the Domain Lord,
Wu Tian also had the cultivation of Second Grade Sovereign.

Thus, looking from the surface, regardless of which factor, the Nine Nether Troop
had a disadvantage.

But right now, the outcome.

Had left everyone’s jaws to drop.

The line-of-sight that filled the area involuntarily gathered towards Mu Chen.

Because anyone could tell that it was his existence in this battle that led the
Nine Nether Troop to victory.

The new Domain Lord of the Nine Nether Place was actually so formidable.

At this moment, when the experts of the Great Havenlaw Domain looked at Mu Chen,
they kept their arrogance in check.

Although this youth was just a First Grade Sovereign on the surface, only those few
numbered veteran experts, aside from the Nine Kings, in the Great Havenlaw Domain
could rival him if he were to bring out all his cards.

Compared to Cao Feng, this new Domain Lord that Nine Nether had brought back was
much more powerful.

Commotions that filled the sky resounded.

Some gazes were secretly looking at the Blood Hawk King and realised that the
latter’s face was so dark that it looked as if water was about to drip from his
face.

On the battlefield, the Battle Will around Mu Chen was also slowly retreating.

The Nine Nether Troop below him was looking at his silhouette with revere and blaze
in their eyes.

They were emotionally stirred in their hearts.

All these years, their Nine Nether Troop’s reputation in the Great Havenlaw domain
wasn’t high, anyone that spoke of them would have a tone of disdain.

But, right now, under Mu Chen’s command, they could finally hold their heads up
high for once.

In the future, no one would probably mock their Nine Nether Troop in the Great
Havenlaw Domain!“Haha, thanks for letting me win, and thanks to the Blood Hawk Hall
for your gifts.

” Up in the sky, Mu Chen looked at Wu Tian, whose face was pale, with a faint smile
and cupped his fists.

The qi and blood were rolling within Wu Tian’s body, but when he heard those words,
he couldn’t help being enraged and sullen in his heart.

Right on the spot, he spewed a mouthful of fresh blood as his vicious gaze looked
like he wished he could turn Mu Chen into mincemeat.

However, Mu Chen paid no attention to him as he shifted his gaze outside the
battlefield, and onto the Blood Hawk King, whose face was ashen, and said with a
smile, “Lord Blood Hawk King, I wish to know when my Nine Nether Palace can receive
those hundred cities.

”The Blood Hawk King’s face twitched as he eerily looked at Mu Chen.

“Since when can a lowly Domain Lord speak with this King?”“Hmm?!”Along with his
cold voice, there was a terrifying Spiritual Energy pressure that enveloped Mu
Chen.

Boom!But when that Spiritual Energy was just released, ten beams of Spiritual
Energy that were blazing with purple flames swiftly shot over at the Blood Hawk
King’s vital parts without any leniency.

The Blood Hawk King stomped his feet as blood-red Spiritual Energy swept out,
forming into a light screen that shielded him.

Boom! Boom!Those Spiritual Energy light beams heavily slammed against the light
screen.

Spiritual Energy fluctuations wreaked havoc as the traces of purple flames stuck
onto it, swiftly dissolving the light screen at a rapid speed.

At this sight, the Blood Hawk King’s face also slightly changed as he hastily took
several steps back.

Spiritual Energy exploded from within his body to scatter those purple flames.

Shortly after, he looked at Nine Nether, who wasn’t far away, with a dark
expression.

“Blood Hawk King, you are getting more and more shameless.

” A mocking smile rose on Nine Nether’s cool and elegant face as she continued with
a sneer, “If you are unconvinced, why don’t we try as well?”“Do you think I’m
afraid of you?!” The Blood Hawk King coldly responded.

“Enough!”However, just when the two were about to fight, a bark abruptly resounded
in the sky as the Sky Vulture Emperor’s figure slowly appeared.

When everyone saw his arrival, they immediately bowed.

“Since you have lost your bet, you can only acknowledge it.
Otherwise, where will the rules be?” The Sky Vulture Emperor cast a glance at the
Blood Hawk King.

The Blood Hawk King clenched his teeth and could only nod his head.

“Okay, since the battle is done, the Nine Kings will follow me.

The Expedition War of my Great Havenlaw Domain will soon start.

” The Sky Vulture Emperor said with a wave of his hand.

Hearing his words, many of the experts present felt a chill in their hearts.

Their Great Havenlaw Domain was finally going to start the expedition?
Chapter 714 - Expedition War The results between the Nine Nether Troop and Blood
Hawk Troop’s confrontation caused quite a quake in the Great Havenlaw Domain.

Perhaps, initially, no one thought that the Nine Nether Troop, who had the
disadvantage in regards to quantity, would defeat the famous Blood Hawk Troop…
However, before it even caused any great ripples in the Great Havenlaw Domain, the
news was blown away by another great matter, attracting all the attention of the
Great Havenlaw Domain.

It was the Great Havenlaw Domain’s Expedition War.

The Great Havenlaw Domain was one of the few peak forces in the Northern Region.

However, that didn’t imply that no force would dare to provoke them.

And the Hundred Battles Domain that was like a ferocious tiger residing in the
northwest of the Great Havenlaw Domain was one of them.

The Hundred Battles Domain wasn’t the name of a force, it was a region name.

In that region, there were three powerful forces.

Myriad Swords Valley, Demonic Corpse Sect, as well as Great Compassion Sky.

The Myriad Swords Valley and Demonic Corpse Sect were old forces in the Northern
Region, while the founder of the Great Compassion Sky was rumoured to be from the
Lower Planes, also a well-famed formidable figure.

Those three forces were the big players in the Hundred Battles Domain.

Although their whole strength could not be compared to a peak force like the Great
Havenlaw Domain, they were still of top quality.

And when they united together, even the Great Havenlaw domain would have to fear
them a little.

Also, the various forces in the Hundred Battles Domain were headed by the three
forces.

Because of the territories being connected together, the Hundred Battles Domain had
been endlessly nibbling away territories from the Great Havenlaw Domain.

Although the Great Havenlaw Domain would fight back, the Great Havenlaw Domain had
also exercised restraints due to that mysterious Domain Ruler of theirs that had
continuously been in seclusion.

So, in recent years, the Hundred Battles Domain had been getting more and more
arrogant and they vaguely did not place the Great Havenlaw Domain in their eyes.

Many experts in the Great Havenlaw Domain felt indignation and resentment in their
hearts due to this, but there was nothing they could do.

If an all-out war were to occur, it would have to come from the mouth of their
mysterious Domain Ruler.

Otherwise, not even the three Emperors would dare to declare war.

Because it represented a significant war.

But right now, the arrival of the Expedition War made all the experts in the Great
Havenlaw Domain feel excited in their hearts as they knew that there was only one
person qualified to pass the order of the Expedition War in the Great Havenlaw
Domain.

It was the Domain Ruler!That also meant that the Domain Ruler that had been
secluded for so many years had finally come out!Although the daily matters in the
Great Havenlaw Domain were managed by the three Emperors, everyone understood that
the moral pillar in the Great Havenlaw Domain was the Domain Ruler of the Greatlaw
Sky.

As long as he still existed here, the Great Havenlaw Domain would have the
qualification to be known as a peak force.

…Greatlaw Sky, the Greatlaw HallIt was a massive hall that sat on the summit of the
Greatlaw Sky.

Currently, in the hall, almost all the higher hierarchy of the Great Havenlaw
Domain were present and gathered here.

The entire hall was in silence as a formless pressure made the countless well-
respected people in the Great Havenlaw Domain not daring to utter a single sound.

Mu Chen had also followed Nine Nether as he stood in the hall.

His gaze was directed at the front of the hall.

At the most front, the three Emperors stood with their hands behind them.

Hooking from their appearance, there wasn’t any of the prestige that they usually
had.

At the highest place of the hall, was a throne forged with golden stone that
radiated with a golden lustre.

The lustre wasn’t dazzling, but no one dared to directly look at it.

Mu Chen cast a glance at the golden throne as curiosity rose in his heart.

He wished to know the face of the mysterious Domain Ruler.

Just as Mu Chen was feeling curious in his heart, a bright light abruptly burst out
from the throne as space suddenly distorted.
A formless pressure that was like a hurricane swept out in this hall, causing
everyone to involuntarily bow down.

At the front of the hall, the three Emperors’ respectful voices resounded, “Your
subordinate greets the Domain Lord!”“Greets the Domain Lord!”A respectful voice
resounded in order in the hall, even the Blood Hawk King, who was usually arrogant,
was humbly bowing without the slightest arrogance.

Mu Chen had also lowered his head as well as his gaze drifted up from the corner of
his eyes.

Not knowing when a golden figure had appeared on the golden throne, that figure
seemed to have been cloaked in a golden cape as a golden lustre spread out.

No one could saw what was inside it, which made Mu Chen unable to stop feeling
disappointed.

That light figure quietly sat on the throne as the pressure became something that
not even space could endure.

It was even distorting.

“Mhm.

” He seemed to be gently nodding his head as a hoarse voice slowly resounded, “All
of you are well aware of this matter.

Our Great Havenlaw Domain will declare the Expedition War next, and our objective
is the Hundred Battles Domain.

”The moment he spoke, the gazes of every single higher hierarchy of the Great
Havenlaw Domain had their spirits lifted.

Were they finally going to take action against the Hundred Battles Domain?“But I
will not act out casually in this Expedition War.

Because behind the Hundred Battles Domain, should be the shadow of the Sky Profound
Palace.

Otherwise, even if those mediocre fellows had a thousand guts, they would not dare
to provoke the Great Havenlaw Domain.

” However, the next speech of the Domain Lord made everyone startled.

“No wonder the Hundred Battles Domain was getting more arrogant in the recent
years, so they had the support of the Sky Profound Palace.

” The Sky Vulture Emperor frowned his brows as he said.

“The Sky Profound Palace?” Mu Chen’s brows gently twitched.

Back in the Merchant continent, the fellow that he seized the Void Great Solar
Fruit and Nine Dragons and Elephants Art seemed to be the Young Palace Master of
the Sky Profound Palace, right?“So if I am to act in this Expedition War, it would
inevitably lure out Liu Tiandao.

At that time, I’m afraid that it would be a war with the Sky Profound Palace
instead.
” The Domain Ruler said faintly.

The three Emperors lightly nodded their heads.

Liu Tiandao was also a well-known super expert.

If he was forced to act, the commotion caused at that time would undoubtedly be
huge.

“Rest assured, Domain Lord.

There’s no need for you to act in dealing with the Hundred Battles Domain.

” The Spiritual Pupils Emperor gently smiled.

“Let’s hope so.

”The Domain Ruler gently nodded his head as he swept his gaze that was emitting a
bright lustre swept throughout the entire hall.

Anyone that was looked at by him bowed their bodies even more humbly.

Mu Chen stood behind Nine Nether as he sensed the unfathomable gaze that seemed to
be looking at him intentionally or otherwise.

That penetrating sensation made a chill rise in his heart as he immediately lowered
his head.

“In this Expedition War, the territories will go to those that establish it, and I
will also give another reward.

”When he said those words, it instantly caused an uproar as many experts in the
hall had their eyes blazing with flames.

In the past, the majority of the harvest in all the established territories would
be handed over to the Great Havenlaw Domain.

But this time, the Great Havenlaw Domain had actually left the distribution to
them.

Just how big of a cake was it?“Also, I will allow the person that contributed the
most amongst the younger generation to participate in the Dragon-Phoenix Haven.

”Before those experts calmed down, the next sentence from the Domain Ruler caused
every single member in the younger generation in the hall to widen their eyes as
their breathing turned much heavier as well.

Especially people like Xu Qing, Zhou Yue and Wu Tian, whose eyes grew even more
brilliant.

“What is the Dragon-Phoenix Haven?” Mu Chen transmitted his voice over the Nine
Nether in doubt.

“It is an exotic place in the Northern Region.

It’s said that in the primordial times, there was a stunning battle between the
powerful existences of the Dragon and Phoenix clans.

In the end, both parties fell, and their blood irrigated the space.
In addition to the catalysis of time, a bizarre energy was born.

Those that enter it have a chance of obtaining the baptism of either the Divine
Dragon or Divine Phoenix, being indestructible.

” Nine Nether said in a low voice.

“That is naturally exaggerated.

After all, not even the dragon or phoenix clans could achieve that.

It should mean that the baptism of the dragon or phoenix can obtain the vitality
similar to that of the Dragon or Phoenix clans, which is greatly beneficial in
cultivation.

” Nine Nether smiled.

Mu Chen was speechless.

The vitality of the Dragon and Phoenix clans were extremely horrifying in the
world.

Compared to humans, it was much more powerful.

If a human could obtain that kind of vitality, it would mean an unkillable humanoid
Divine Beast…“However, the conditions for opening the Dragon-Phoenix Haven is
harsh.

It requires several Earth Sovereigns to unite together.

Therefore, it became an unwritten rule that only the outstanding younger

generations can enter.

Furthermore, it will also be a tough contest at that time.

”Mu Chen suddenly nodded his head.

It was no wonder why Xu Qing and the rest had such expressions on their faces.

So the Dragon-Phoenix Haven was that mystical.

Furthermore, entering the Dragon-Phoenix Haven would also mean that they were the
most outstanding amongst the younger generations of the entire Northern Region.

That honour was a sufficient reason for others to fight for it.

When Mu Chen and Nine Nether were conversing, the Domain Ruler on the throne
suddenly said, “There was a battle between the Blood Hawk Troop and Nine Nether
Troop earlier in the Military Battlefield, right? Who won?”The hall went into
silence for a moment as everyone directed their gazes onto Mu Chen, who was a
little stunned, and Wu Tian, whose face was unsightly.

They also felt a little unexpected as the Domain Ruler of the Great Havenlaw Domain
would actually pay attention to such a small matter.

The Blood Hawk King’s face was a little awkward as this topic became a wound in his
heart.
Now that it was ripped apart by the Domain Ruler, he didn’t dare to have any anger.

“Haha, Domain Lord, the Nine Nether Troop won.

” The Sky Vulture Emperor lightly smiled.

“Oh?”The figure that was shrouded in dazzling light seemed to have smiled.

“The Nine Nether King’s return this time has brought us a Freshman with pretty good
potential.

”“I heard that there was a bet as well.

Blood Hawk King, now that you have lost, then acknowledge your loss.

”Hearing the Domain Ruler’s words, the Blood Hawk King hurriedly agreed as the
corner of his lips slightly twitched.

Since the Domain Ruler had spoken, he wouldn’t dare to act shamelessly on this
matter.

The Domain Ruler nodded his head and no longer spoke.

With a wave of his hand, a light spread out as his figure disappeared.

The pressure that had enveloped the hall had also vanished.

Everyone felt a heavy relief as the pressure of an Earth Sovereign was truly a
little fearsome.

As they felt relieved, their gazes were curiously directed at the youth standing
behind Nine Nether.

Obtaining the evaluation of ‘pretty good potential’ from the Domain Lord, there
would probably be no one in the Great Havenlaw Domain that dared to provoke him in
the future.

At the front of the hall, the Sleeping Emperor was a little astonished as he
glanced at Mu Chen.

He had followed the Domain Ruler the longest, and it was the first time that the
Domain Ruler would have such a view of a puny Domain Lord…“This young man is
interesting…”
