Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
The pretty woman in palace garments looked at Mu Chen with a big grin. Mu Chen didn’t feel honored. She made him feel pins and needles on his scalp instead. Based on her attitude, it seemed she had known that Mu Chen was well equipped with the skills of a war troop dispatcher.
He never showed himself, but people had known everything. This made Mu Chen uncontrollably shocked from the bottom of his heart. How terrible could the Heavenly Sovereign be? It was as though he could see all his secrets with only a single look.
The powerful people on the altar sensed the woman’s view. When they turned their eyes, they were overwhelmed and focused on Mu Chen.
There was a person who could not help but exclaim in shock, “He is a war troop dispatcher?” It was obviously not a small surprise for them. If it were true, it meant that Mu Chen had not shown all the cards in his hand when facing Bai Ming. Some of the top powers looked at each other and shook their heads with a sigh. They felt that Mu Chen was unfathomable.
“Hi friend, are you willing to lend us a hand?” The pretty woman in palace garments looked at Mu Chen with smile and said, “We must solve our troubles, otherwise, none of you will be able to extricate yourselves from the difficulties to come.”
Swoosh!
The gazes from all directions focused on Mu Chen. Mu Chen was frightened by their eager, passionate eyes. Even before the three Sovereign Beasts could act, these fellows would rush to him fiercely if he declined their request.
Nine Nether watched the situation with a bitter smile. The murderous sight of the Undying Bird senior could see all the cards in Mu Chen’s hands, leaving him completely uncovered with nowhere to hide.
Mu Chen knew he could not retreat at the moment, so he forced himself to remain calm and said, “My senior, you’re overestimating me. I’ve only achieved Grade Seven Sovereign. What can I do to influence the situation?”
“Your capability will only be known after trying.” The shirtless man who was incarnated from the Desolated Beast grunted in discontent. “The disaster you caused will naturally have to come to you, juniors.”
Mu Chen’s face turned slightly pale when he heard this. He agreed that the situation was somehow related to them, but they were absolutely not the main cause! The Desolated Beast was pushing the responsibility onto them too harshly.
However, it was foolish to reason with a former Heavenly Sovereign. Mu Chen laughed humorlessly, but he didn’t dare say anything.
Jejejeje!
While they were talking, the demonic face in the Demon Land outside of the altar grew bigger and more ferocious. Its laugh was sharp and strange. Jejeje! When it suddenly opened its huge mouth, demonic smoke was released in all directions, roaring like a demonic dragon dashing towards the altar.
“Hmph!” The elegant man who had incarnated from the Myriad Spiritual Bird grunted in reply. He then waved his sleeves and colorful rays burst forth. The brilliant rays, as though containing a mysterious power, swept out and resisted the thick demonic fumes. During their mutually continuous encroachment, the space for thousands of miles around them collapsed like shattering glass.
Mu Chen and the others were watching the destructive powers which could almost destroy the world itself. They had goosebumps all over watching the powers in play. They might be turned into ashes by just touching those powers.
After some time, everyone could observe that the brilliant rays were breaking while the Demon Fume continuously poured from the Demon’s mouth as though it were inexhaustible. It never stopped as it turned the altar into ruins.
People who watched from the altar were frightened. If even the Spiritual Clones of the three Sovereign Beasts could not resist the Demon Shadow, they might as well become demon feed.
“That demon creature has became a bigger trouble.” The shirtless man incarnated from the Desolated Beast looked dignified. He then clapped, and a huge handprint thousands of miles long appeared from thin air. Numerous ancient runes were engraved on the handprint. The palm was so strong that the whole world seemed to be buckling under its strength.
Due to the Desolated Beast’s actions, the Demon Fume was ultimately unable to approach the altar. The fighting seemed to be at a stalemate, but both kept fighting above the sky.
Jeejee!
However, the stalemate was short lived. The Demon Face shrieked yet again. The Demon Land shook violently, and numerous cracks appeared. Demon Shadows emerged from the cracks in all directions, and an overwhelming demonic force filled the skies and covered the sun.
The Demon Face had prepared for years just for this day. It had been so dreadful when it initiated the fight, that even the Spiritual Clones of the three Sovereign Beasts was steadily losing the battle. After all, it was just their Spiritual Clones, not their true bodies.
Mu Chen had a solemn look when he saw the situation from the altar. He thought they were under the protection of a great tree when the three Sovereign Beasts were there. However, it seemed like the tree was not as strong as he had imagined, and they had no way to escape once their Spiritual Clones disappeared.
The demonic creature was too fearsome and powerful!
The beautiful woman in palace garments glanced at Mu Chen and explained in an imposing tone, “This demonic creature was formed by the regret of five extraterritorial kings. It took tangible shape after devouring innumerable corpses of the top powers from the extraterritorial race. We had undergone meteorfall when it appeared. The only thing we could do at that moment was to leave our Spiritual Clones to suppress it.”
Mu Chen and the others drew a cold breath when they heard this. It was not surprising once they had learned that the horrible demonic creature was formed from the regret of five extraterritorial kings. Those five kings were equivalent to the five Heavenly Sovereigns of the Great Thousand World. No wonder the Spiritual Clones of the three Sovereign Beasts were not enough to fight the demonic creature. It turned out to have an extraordinary history.
Mu Chen made a bow with his hands folded and asked, “Seniors, any instructions?”
The pretty woman said with a heavy tone, carrying a tense killing intent in her voice, “Kill the demonic creature!”
Mu Chen was stunned, but he quickly displayed a bitter smile. “My strength, even with all my effort, might be unable to bring any hurt to the demonic creature.”
The pretty woman gave him a slight smile and gently waved her fine hand. Countless rays emitted from the altar. The next moment, people could see ripples emerging from the altar’s floor. The altar then shot out ray after ray until they finally towered over the altar.
The crowd looked in that direction. There were shadows in the beast armor. Their eyes were shut tightly, and their strong bodies were surrounded with horrific murderous intent. It was a heavily ominous aura, like the reincarnation of the God of War.
The capability of each shadow was not inferior to Mu Chen and the others’. In addition, their imposing manner was peerlessly impressive. It was incomparable to Mu Chen and his friends. Of course, the most important point was that they had multiplied until there were up to tens of thousands of them!
This was a massive, powerful, fearsome army, stronger than any army Mu Chen had ever seen. With such a powerful army, even the top powers like Earthly Sovereigns would never dare to risk fighting directly against it.
“The legendary Heavenly Beast Troop?!” While Mu Chen was stunned by the powerful army, endless whispering suddenly sounded from the altar. Those top powers were amazed.
“Heavenly Beast Troop?” Mu Chen was unfamiliar with it. He did not come from a Divine Beast Clan, so of course he knew nothing about these secrets.
“It was rumored that in the ancient times, there was a powerful army under the command of the three Sovereign Beasts in the Land of the Divine Beasts. The army had the horrifying power to kill even Earthly Sovereigns. It was named the Heavenly Beast Troop. According to expectations, it should be the army in front of you.” Nine Nether was amazed.
Mu Chen was overwhelmed in his heart when he heard this. How terrifying could an army be that was powerful enough to kill an Earthly Sovereign? Such an elite army might be the dream of every war troop dispatcher. With it under control, there wouldn’t be a place in the Great Thousand World that was unconquerable.
“The real Heavenly Beast Troop was completely annihilated during the war. What we see now is only the refined bones of the warriors. Somehow they have retained some of the warriors’ strength from when they were alive. It is also the last resort we can use to kill the demonic creature.” The pretty woman sighed. They were only the Spiritual Clones and not the original Heavenly Beast Troop that could kill Earthly Sovereigns easily. Therefore, they had to resort to external help, but at the same time, they were not war troop dispatchers. The original Heavenly Beast Troop had been controlled by their best friend who was also a war troop dispatcher. However, they obviously did not have his help anymore.
“You want me to command the army to kill the demonic creature?” Mu Chen asked.
The pretty woman nodded.
Mu Chen’s face turned sour. He was a war troop dispatcher, but at most a 10,000 battle rune war troop dispatcher. It was a huge step to become a 100,000 battle rune war troop dispatcher. The number of troops in front of him might be just several tens of thousands, but each of them could rival 100 men. They were comparable to typical troops of 1,000,000 or even 10,000,000 strong. As a 10,000 battle rune war troop dispatcher, how could he control this army?
If he did it forcefully and was careless, his spirit and mind might be ruined by the fighting intent, and it would devour him.
The pretty woman knew Mu Chen’s doubts when she looked at his face. She smiled and pointed with her fine fingers. Rays of light flew out and directly shot into Mu Chen’s forehead. The pretty woman stared at Mu Chen and spoke slowly, “This can give you some protection. But I don’t mean to hold anything back. The fighting intent of the Heavenly Beast Troop is too strong. It will indeed be difficult for you to control. It will still be dangerous, even with my talisman on you. Thus, you can choose whether to take action or not.”
Flash!
The gazes from all directions focused on Mu Chen. All the teams stared at him, and their bodies were stiff, anxious that Mu Chen might reject the role. If he did, they would all be buried there.
Zong Qingfeng, Kong Ling, Lu Hou, and the others were looking at Mu Chen with complicated expressions. They would never have thought that they would need Mu Chen’s help at this time to escape from danger.
Under the gazes of nervous eyes, Mu Chen sighed helplessly. Did he still have room for rejection at that moment? Obviously, he could only give it a try for his own sake. Otherwise, they would face certain death when the Spiritual Clones of the three Sovereign Beasts were exhausted. In addition, because of the Undying Bird, he would not be ill-treated once he completed the task. It was a great opportunity that was attracting his heart.
Thus, he drew a deep breath and nodded at the pretty woman without hesitation.
“Please order me. I’m willing to fight!”
