Boom!
The Fighting Spirit Dragon roared in the sky above the White Jade Square, while 50 million battle runes flashed with gleaming lights. The oppression the spectacle emitted struck fear within every heart of the people below it.
Everyone was horrified as they watched the Fighting Spirit Dragon collide hard with the brightest silver light beam. As soon as they hit each other, the sky started to crumble and an indescribable impact wave spread out. As the wave passed through the space, it continued to burst and form chasms.
All of the spectators lifted their chins, staring at the collision point as the violent fighting spirit and silver beam continued to bang against each other. They were clearly trying to destroy each other.
Previously, the silver light beam, which consisted of five God Grade Heavenly Sovereigns’ power, could defeat 40 million battle runes. But, when the number of battle runes increased to 50 million, the situation totally changed.
Now, the vast fighting spirit swept out, and the silver light beam, which possessed the destructive power, slowly subsided. It was no longer able to advance. As the Fighting Spirit Dragon continued to roar, the silver light slowly receded.
The five Heavenly Sovereigns, including the Ghost Emperor, were observing the situation this whole time. Their facial expressions could not help but reveal their horror.
“Wow… 50 million battle runes! Mu Chen is as formidable as a War Troop Dispatcher!” one of the Heavenly Sovereigns commented.
All five of them grumbled to themselves, as they could not take this lying down. This was because they knew that a War Troop Dispatcher with 50 million battle runes could stand up against an expert in the later stage of God Grade Heavenly Sovereign.
Roar!
While the five of them were still recovering from their initial shock, the Fighting Spirit Dragon suddenly let out an earth-shaking roar. The next moment, it opened its gigantic mouth and swallowed the destructive silver light.
Boom!
As it swallowed the light, an explosion sound seemed to be coming from its body. At the same time, silver lights could also be seen blinking on its body. But, the 50 million battle runes on the dragon’s body also gave off a radiant glow as they suppressed the spiritual energy impact within the body.
The explosion sound persisted for quite some time until the silver light beam finally disappeared. At this time, it was clear that the Fighting Spirit Dragon’s massive body was shrinking at a rapid speed, thus reducing the 50 million battle runes by half. Apparently, most of the dragon’s energy had been depleted in order for it to have been able to suppress the silver light beam.
Sst!
When the silver light beam had finally dissipated, the five Heavenly Sovereigns, including the Ghost Emperor, became pale, while the spiritual energy around them vibrated violently. In the end, they each spat out a mouthful of blood and their strong spiritual energy fluctuations quickly withered. Apparently, they had also been hurt.
“This fellow is too tricky for us!” Ancestor Danyang exclaimed, while he looked at Mu Chen, who was far away, with a tinge of fear in his eyes.
At the moment, he was thinking of retreating. After all, the combat power that Mu Chen had just displayed was far too daunting!
The rest of them had awful expressions on their faces. Today, all five of them had worked together, yet they still hadn’t gained any advantage over Mu Chen. This was just too embarrassing!
Among them, only the Ghost Emperor had a cold facial expression. At the moment, he was looking at Mu Chen, the unwillingness to resign himself to his fate clearly evident in his eyes.
“Why don’t we just back off?” Ancestor Danyang asked.
The previous repercussions of their battle had already caused him to sustain quite a large amount of injuries. Since his combat power had also dropped significantly, he had no intention of continuing to fight.
When the rest of them, including Reverend Purple Lightning, heard his idea, they were tempted to go along with it. However, just as they were preparing to escape, a spiritual energy surged throughout the area.
“Oh? So, now you want to escape?” Mu Chen had already sensed their plan as soon as they began their fluctuations, and a coldness flashed across his pitch-black eyes as he challenged them.
In their previous fierce confrontation, his opponents had been injured due to the after-effects of the energies, but he could also sense that more than 2,000 soldiers from the Mystery Dragon Army had also been injured. He knew that it would take them quite some time to recuperate.
As such, the current Mu Chen was filled with wrath. He determined that he simply could not let them go as they wished!
As an icy radiance surfaced in Mu Chen’s eyes, he stood up immediately. At the same time, a black figure walked out from behind him. The black figure then sat amid the Fighting Spirit Ocean and continued suppressing the Sovereigns with the Fighting Spirit Dragon.
Then, a pair of gleaming phoenix wings, which seemed to be made of gold, slowly unfolded at Mu Chen’s back. As soon as the phoenix wings flapped once, his body disappeared like a ghost’s!
“Be careful!” the Ghost Emperor shouted, as the moment Mu Chen disappeared, he and the rest sensed it and immediately yelled out to warn each other. An extreme look of caution arose in all of their eyes, as they could not even detect Mu Chen’s presence due to his accelerated speed.
Shua!
Just when their voices began to fade, Ancestor Danyang’s face twisted as he saw the vague figure walk out from nowhere. Before he knew it, the figure came face to face with him.
Mu Chen was expressionless when the Budur Pagoda emerged from his pupils. The crystal-like spiritual energy circulated around him as he gently struck out his palm.
Although the palm strike might have seemed slow and soft, it possessed a speed that was hard for the naked eye to see. When Ancestor Danyang, who was injured due to the previous after-effects, began to circulate his spiritual energy within his body, the palm that was gleaming with a crystal-like spiritual light was placed on his chest.
Bang!
At that moment, a low explosion sound was heard. Ancestor Danyang’s chest sank in immediately, the palm remaining on his chest. It was clear that, even with the gem-like spiritual energy, he could not endure Mu Chen’s raging palm!
Sst!
As Ancestor Danyang puked blood, his body was shot backward like a cannonball. At the same time, multiple crack lines emerged on the Sovereign Celestial Appearance below him. Eventually, it exploded into fragments.
Shua!
Mu Chen did not even look at him as he struck his palm on Ancestor Danyang’s chest. The golden-made phoenix wings at his back flapped once again as Mu Chen disappeared once more at a terrifyingly high speed.
“Circulate the defense of the Sovereign Celestial Appearances!” The remaining four Sovereigns sensed his disappearance immediately when Ancestor Danyang was struck down. So, they immediately yelled out to each other as Mu Chen moved way.
Mu Chen was moving so quickly, even the Ghost Emperor could not detect his location. So, they could only circulate their Sovereign Celestial Appearances to form a wall of defense against Mu Chen’s ghostly attack.
Roar!
Just when they were about to circulate their Sovereign Celestial Appearances, the Fighting Spirit Dragon roared. Under the control of the black-robed Mu Chen, the dragon continued to keep the four Sovereign Celestial Appearances busy with its vast fighting spirit.
“Darn!” all four of them let out angry exclamations in unison as they felt chills run up their spines.
All of them had been injured due to the after-effects just now. Apparently, Mu Chen was trying to bring them all down, one by one! At this point, they could not retreat, even if they wanted to!
Shua!
As their shouts began to fade, Mu Chen appeared in front of Reverend Purple Lightning. Then, as Mu Chen’s mighty Crystal Spiritual Energy surged, he curled his fingers into a fist and punched out towards Reverend Purple Lightning.
“You’re so arrogant! Do you think that I’m afraid of you?” Reverend Purple Lighting shouted out as the lightning started to flicker around him.
He also punched out his fist and swept out destructive lightning. At times like this, he knew that he would be totally suppressed by Mu Chen if he displayed any fear.
Boom!
When the two fists met, the air shook violently, and Reverend Purple Lighting was horrified to see that the crystal light was spreading onto his hands through Mu Chen’s fist, forming creepy runes on his arm and climbing towards his body! As the crystal light continued to climb, the spiritual energy in the Reverend Purple Lighting’s body started to disappear.
“The Power of Sealing?” he yelled, clearly horrified.
Dong!
Before he could even finish his words, Mu Chen’s fist broke down his defense and sent him flying away. His body was filled with the crystal runes, and his original vast spiritual energy became extremely weak at this time. Apparently, his spiritual energy had been temporarily sealed off!
Shoo!
After Mu Chen had dealt with Reverend Purple Lightning, he set his sights on Duke You Xuan and Lord White Tiger, who were both in the early stage of the God Grade level.
As they were already hurt, they were no match for Mu Chen, especially when they fought him alone. Within minutes, Mu Chen had successfully sealed both of their spiritual energies, sending them falling from the sky. As they landed in the White Jade Square, they were clearly embarrassed.
At this moment, only the Ghost Emperor was holding his own in the sky. Mu Chen’s retaliation had been fast and furious, and before the countless spectators even had a chance to react, the four God Grade Heavenly Sovereigns had already been defeated!
When they realized what had happened, everyone gasped and lifted their heads in horror to see the juvenile figure in the sky. As they gazed up at him, respect and fear surged within all of their eyes. Everyone was shocked by the combat power that Mu Chen had displayed thus far.
“Now, it’s your turn.” Mu Chen ignored the respectful and fearful gazes of the crowd as he stared at the Ghost Emperor with a pair of cold eyes.
The Ghost Emperor’s facial expression darkened as he retreated from the battlefield. After all, the rest of the four Sovereigns, including Ancestor Danyang, had all lost their combat powers, and he knew that he alone was no match for Mu Chen.
“Do you actually think that you can leave?” Mu Chen’s eyes gleamed with icy radiance, while the pair of phoenix wings flapped behind him. His body then penetrated through the space and appeared creepily in front of the Ghost Emperor.
His fist was dazzling as boundless crystal spiritual light surged around it. The Ghost Emperor found the terrifying speed that was generated by the golden phoenix wings to be extremely daunting.
However, he was also a formidable figure, and since he knew he could not dodge Mu Chen’s attack, he resigned himself to fight the best way he knew how. In that moment, a ferocious radiance flashed in his eyes.
“You may have wiped the others out, but it won’t be so easy for you to deal with me!” the Ghost Emperor yelled coldly, while he formed seals with both of his hands in lightning speed.
At that moment, a boundless cold spiritual energy gathered in the space, forming an eerie and icy ghost seal in front of him. Within the seal, endless screams could be heard.
“Myriad Ghosts Seal!” the Ghost Emperor screamed. Then, with the ghost seal in his hand, he struck out hard toward Mu Chen.
A bright radiance surged within Mu Chen’s eyes as a cold smile filled his face. Then, with a single thought, a dragon suddenly roared from his body. A real dragon figure had emerged from his flesh, then converted into a golden ray that merged into his arm!
As a radiant golden light exploded from Mu Chen’s arm, it was clear that his entire palm was undergoing a transformation. Eventually, his arm transformed into a golden dragon claw. It was a claw from the real dragon!
Boom!
Then, the golden dragon claw burst through the air and hit the Ghost Seal hard! The Ghost Emperor’s cold expression changed the moment he felt the impact.
Horror filled his ashen face, as his terrified voice echoed out, “Is this… The true power of the God Grade Sovereign?”
