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.
