Chapter 1244: First Battle

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

The nine giant dragons that had great spiritual power occupied the sky, each of them emanating terrifying spiritual fluctuations. They were like surging waves, twisting the space.

Among the nine mighty dragons, the flame-robed man looked at Mu Chen, who was smiling atop the mountain. He understood how he had fallen into his trap!

Mu Chen’s floundering escape was completely fake!

“Cunning brat!” The flame-robed man was furious.

Mu Chen smiled and said, “Hand over the battle seal.”

“Dream on! Do you think you can beat me with a mere spiritual array?” The flame-robed man laughed mockingly.

Although the spiritual array in front of him was extraordinary, Mu Chen was still only a Lower Earthly Sovereign. The most he could do was to entangle him in a fight.

Boom!

A startling red spiritual energy burst out from the Fire Cloud King’s body as it dyed the sky red. The temperature between heaven and earth rose rapidly at this time.

Mu Chen smiled nonchalantly. If his Nine Dragons’ Deicide Array could still only gather seven dragons, it was impossible to pose a threat to an Upper Earthly Sovereign. However, his Nine Dragons’ Deicide Array had reached its complete form!

Mu Chen had failed to set up this complete form of Nine Dragons’ Deicide Array a number of times before, but finally, with the help of the Crystal Pagoda, he was able to convert and increase the spiritual energy of his body and succeed!

The Nine Dragons’ Deicide Array, which was originally a Middle Grade Ancestral Master’s Spiritual Array, once completely arranged, was absolutely strong enough to counterbalance an Upper Earthly Sovereign! Moreover, now that this Nine Dragons’ Deicide Array had made a little change in Mu Chen’s hands, it should have a remarkable effect when it was actually used!

Roar!

Mu Chen waved his sleeves and activated the massive spiritual array. In the next moment, nine massive spiritual energy dragons let out a skyward roar.

Nine spiritual energy dragons’ breaths surged out like torrents, charging towards the Fire Cloud King. Where the dragons’ breaths swept through, the space shattered, revealing the array’s extremely domineering and destructive power.

Although the Fire Cloud King was arrogant in word, he did not dare to underestimate the spiritual array in action. He summoned red clouds of fire, which had been used to cover the mountains.

The red clouds of fire surged and formed a Fire Clouds Shield around his body. On it, the blazing flames continued to rise, burning and warping the space.

Boom! Boom!

Dragons’ breaths swept through the sky and bombarded the Fire Clouds Shield. Sparks of fire flew as it rippled, and the dragons’ breaths were on the edge of teetering.

“Hmph, that’s it, yet you want to break my Fire Clouds Shield?” Seeing that the dragons’ breaths had been blocked, the Fire Cloud King sneered.

Then, flames gradually converged under his feet. His gaze flickered, and he intended to use his Fire Escape Super Power to escape the spiritual array.

At this time, he also gave up on trying to seize Mu Chen’s battle seal. After all, with the help of this spiritual array, Mu Chen was basically in an invincible position. As such, continuing to fight him would be pointless.

“It’s actually a Lesser Sacred Object that is used for defense.” Mu Chen looked at the Fire Clouds Shield around the Fire Cloud King and was surprised. Although a protective sacred object had less attack power, it was very effective for defense.

“My Nine Dragons’ Deicide Array is at least as powerful as a Middle Grade Ancestral Master’s Spiritual Array, so a Lesser Sacred Object won’t be able to protect you against it.” Mu Chen chuckled lowly as he conjured a seal with one hand.

“Nine Dragons’ Deicide Array, Nine Dragons into One, Deicide Dragon!” As Mu Chen’s seals transformed, there were changes in the spiritual array.

The nine massive dragons erupted in millions of beams of spiritual light, which immediately surged and fused together. As the brilliant spiritual light surged, the nine massive dragons quickly disappeared. A few moments later, a small colorful dragon appeared within the spiritual array.

The dragon looked as it had been set with brilliant gems. It looked extremely beautiful, but when the Fire Clouds King saw it, his face twisted dramatically.

He could feel how terrifying its spiritual energy was. Even an Upper Earthly Sovereign would be fearful of this magnitude of spiritual energy!

Although Mu Chen is only a Lower Earthly Sovereign, his talent at spiritual arrays has reached that of an Intermediate Ancestral Master! What a freak!

As these thoughts swirled in his mind, the Fire Cloud King’s expression was downcast and a deep fear emerged in his eyes.

I have to get out of here now!

As the thought crossed his mind, the fire at his feet burst out. He immediately sought to escape from the scope of the spiritual energy.

Whoosh!

However, when the fire flashed at his feet, the beautiful dragon disappeared into thin air. More accurately, it did not disappear, but turned into a ray of light, shuttling through the space at a speed that was undetectable to the naked eye.

In a flash, before the flames could envelop the Fire Cloud King, a crackling sound rang out and a hole emerged in the Fire Clouds Shield. At that moment, the colorful dragon appeared before him. It then opened its mouth and gnawed at his arm!

Crack!

As it clamped down, the Fire Cloud King’s entire arm was torn away. Blood was gushing everywhere!

“Ah!” The Fire Cloud King let out a pained cry.

However, he was also a decisive man, so he was somehow able to temporarily disregard his torn arm and change his seals. Instantly, flames enveloped his body and he vanished.

When he appeared again, he was ten thousand feet away, having successfully evaded the scope of the Nine Dragons’ Deicide Array. After escaping the Nine Dragons’ Deicide Array, the Fire Cloud King stared at the spiritual array that was enshrouding the mountains in horror.

He then looked at his torn arm and gnashed his teeth. Although this kind of physical injury was nothing serious to an Upper Earthly Sovereign, it was humiliating to have been so embarrassed by a Lower Earthly Sovereign!

Mu Chen glanced at the Fire Cloud King, who had managed to escape the scope of the spiritual array, and sighed. Upper Earthly Sovereigns are formidable indeed!

By virtue of this Fire Escape Super Power, as long as the Fire Cloud King did not encounter the handful of people that were the hardest to deal with, he could come and go freely.

“Brat, I will remember this. We are not done with this feud!” The Fire Cloud King was somber as he roared at Mu Chen in the distance.

Boom!

However, just as he finished yelling, Mu Chen suddenly burst out. He had left the spiritual array and was headed straight towards the Fire Cloud King!

Upon seeing this, the Fire Cloud King was stunned. He had not expected that Mu Chen would take the initiative to leave the spiritual array, as with the help of that spiritual array, Mu Chen could force him into such a humiliating state, but once he left the array, in his eyes, Mu Chen was nothing but a Lower Earthly Sovereign!

“No, the boy is as cunning as a fox. There must be some deceit afoot, as he shows no fear!” However, the Fire Clouds King quickly came to his senses, figuring that something was amiss.

He immediately became even more cautious, as he no longer wanted to fall into Mu Chen’s traps. Gnashing his teeth, he retreated swiftly, ignoring Mu Chen, who had just left the array.

“Oh, so you finally wised up? But still, you can’t escape!” Seeing the Fire Cloud King backing away decisively, Mu Chen raised his eyebrows.

He then stretched out his palm and grabbed at the Fire Cloud King, a strange smirk appearing on his face. Seeing Mu Chen’s action, the Fire Cloud King’s heart jolted. He quickly summoned the Fire Escape Super Power.

“Seal!” Mu Chen rumbled lowly.

A faint crystal light shone in the Fire Cloud King’s broken arm. Then, the fire that had risen in his body dissipated at a strange speed.

The sudden scene startled the Fire Cloud King, causing an appalled expression to surface on his face. At this moment, he was aware of some strange crystalline spiritual power that had entered his body. Wherever it passed, it sealed his spiritual energy temporarily.

“Da*n it! When did his spiritual energy invade me?” The Fire Cloud King exclaimed in disbelief.

He had been cautiously guarding himself from Mu Chen’s strange ability. However, he had somehow still succumbed to it!

Soon, he was aware of his broken arm, which cause his pupils to shrink. It turns out that the small colorful dragon possessed the crystalline spiritual energy. When it had torn off his arm, it had invaded his body!

“Do you understand now?” Mu Chen sneered. He had appeared in front of the Fire Cloud King just as the realization of what had just happened dawned on him.

The Fire Cloud King’s face changed. He immediately urged his spiritual energy inside of his body to eliminate the crystalline spiritual power that had invaded it.

Although this crystalline spiritual power had the power to seal his energy, it was a rootless source after all. Hence, it could be sealed for no more than ten minutes.

Tap!

As he frantically tried to remove it, a slender palm gently landed on his shoulder. Instantly, a steady stream of crystalline spiritual power poured into his body.

His face turned deathly pale as Mu Chen’s other hand appeared before him. Seeing this, the Fire Cloud King struggled for a while before taking out two battle seals in despair.

Now that the spiritual energy in his body was sealed temporarily, if Mu Chen really wanted to kill him, he was at his mercy. Taking the two battle seals, Mu Chen nodded contentedly, then patted the Fire Cloud King. As he did so, a flash of fire was forced out, which finally turned into a flaming cloud that fell into Mu Chen’s hands.

As the Fire Cloud King was extremely unwilling to part with it, he looked pained. Although it was only a Lesser Sacred Object, its defense abilities were quite outstanding and had helped him through a lot of difficulties in the past.

The Fire Cloud King gnashed his teeth and glared at Mu Chen. “Are you happy now?”

Facing his ferocious glare, Mu Chen was unconcerned and smiled cryptically. “Your Fire Escape Superpower is interesting indeed.”

“You demon!” As Mu Chen finished speaking, the Fire Cloud King’s enraged roar reverberated in the sky.
