Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
“Sometimes, it is a total joke if one celebrates too early.” Following a sneer with a slight seriousness from among the sky, the sights of Sage Zi Yun, Reverend Thunder, and the Golden Eagle King froze in an instant, while their sharp gazes locked on Mu Chen.
They weren’t expecting that Mu Chen would be so persistent, not showing a will to give up, even at this very moment.
“It seems like the Mu Estate Master wishes to stick to his guns,” Reverend Thunder said as he shook his head.
Coldness flashed in the Golden Eagle King’s eyes as he said, “Don’t mind his chatter. He’s just trying to buy time.”
“Just kill him already!” Sage Zi Yun said.
After all, Reverend Thunder had made a big sacrifice in order to temporarily trap Mu Chen’s two spiritual energy manifestations. If they ever broke out of their control, it would quickly become a 3 versus 3 situation, which would significantly weaken their advantage.
“Let’s do it!” Reverend Thunder nodded.
Bang!
After the trio reached a mutual understanding, without giving Mu Chen a chance to speak, they stomped the ground altogether. Immediately, a wave of spiritual energy spread across the sky like a thunderstorm. The three figures had torn through the space, formulating a direct strike against Mu Chen!
Mu Chen remained calm as he glared at the three incoming figures. He then formed a seal with one hand, while a globe of golden lights could be seen bursting out from the Immortal Golden Body before forming a golden light dome that shielded Mu Chen and his Golden Immortal Body.
“Did you actually think that you could hold off until your manifestations broke free from the traps?” Sage Zi Yun sneered as he and the others witnessed Mu Chen’s action.
They then waved their sleeves, sending out a terrific bombardment that was so powerful, it was as if it carried a thousand tons of spiritual energies, all of which began to strike on the golden light dome at once!
Rumble!
At that moment, numerous ripples could be seen on the heavily vibrating surface of the golden light dome. Under such circumstances, the dome looked like it was going to break at any time.
On the field of the Northern Region, various parties were startled as they witnessed the scene. The joined forces of the three overlords were undoubtedly terrific, as even the once powerful Mu Chen was completely at a disadvantage and no longer held the initiative.
If this continued, Mu Chen would surely fall under the joint strike offenses of these three overlords! Once his defense was broken, he could no longer escape! As the situation had come to this point, a tragic end for the Mu Estate seemed imminent.
At this point, a strong murderous intent could be felt right, coming straight from the eyes of the numerous factions as they looked at the various heroes from the Mu Estate. The pillar of the Mu Estate would be gone as soon as Mu Chen was dead. Then, it would be unlikely that any of the people from the Mu Estate could get out of the Northern Region alive.
The heroes of the Mu Estate became more dignified than ever, even though they noticed the murderous gazes that were coming at them from all directions. As they moved closer to each other and fired up their spiritual energies, their worried eyes looked towards Mandela, who stood in front of them.
Mandela stood with her hands at her back, while her small, delicate face was calm. She lifted her head to stare at the fierce battle in the distant sky, her eyes showing no signs of fear or horror.
Seeing her calm expression, the stressed people slowly began to calm a bit. At this point, the only thing that they could do was to firmly believe in their estate master.
After all, they knew all along that this would be a risky trip the moment that they signed up to follow the estate master to the Northern Region. But, as it was for the future of the Mu Estate, as well as the future of the people of the Mu Estate, they had decided to follow their estate master to the end!
Rumble!
Under the firm gazes of the heroes of the Mu Estate, the sky was still rumbling, while the unrelenting offense continuously bombarded the golden light dome, causing it to vibrate vigorously. Mu Chen calmly stared at the three figures, all of whom were emitting majestic and imposing vibes. In fact, he did nothing but look at the crystal tower that he was holding.
“The strength of a Half-step to Complete Sovereign would be over-consumed if I launched the ‘Eight Budur,’” Mu Chen mumbled before he gave out a light smile.
It seemed that he would have to breakthrough after all, especially if he was going to completely annihilate the fighting spirit of these three overlords to the point where they would no longer dare to fight against the Mu Estate!
At that moment, a radiant, longan-like medicinal herb that emitted a sweet smell immediately appeared in Mu Chen’s fingers. It was none other than the Saint Spiritual Pill!
Outside the golden light dome, Sage Zi Yun and the others had spotted the irregular action of Mu Chen. Although they could not figure out what he was up to, they sped up their attack out of caution.
Mu Chen lifted his finger and gently placed the medical herb into his mouth, then slightly shut his eyes. A warm stream flowed in through his throat, then burst out like a storm, immediately streaming throughout every part of his body. As the spiritual energy was resonating within his body, his flesh shined as if it had been made out of the most dazzling jewels.
It was at this moment that Sage Zi Yun, Reverend Thunder, and the Golden Eagle King suddenly realized that the fluctuating spiritual energy that Mu Chen’s body was emitting was increasing at an incredible speed. A vast amount of spiritual energy that was visible to the naked eye was gathering around him, forming a gust of wind and whistling continuously.
“He’s breaking through!” Sage Zi Yun exclaimed with an unbelievable expression. “This guy really does have guts, as he dares to break through right under our noses!”
“Stop him!” all three of them exclaimed at the same time.
As spiritual lights gathered behind their backs, three gigantic light figures emerged, all emitting a horrifically imposing vibe of spiritual energy. Then, this spiritual powered up their Sovereign Celestial Appearances. At this moment, three Sovereign Celestial Appearances stood under the sky.
Bang!
The Sovereign Celestial Appearances began their attacks without hesitation. As the giant fists waved across the sky, the space collapsed. Then, a heavy blow was dealt upon the golden light dome.
Dong!
The golden light dome vibrated wildly. The dome, at long last, had reached its limit and exploded in an instant.
“Here I come!” The exact moment when the golden light dome burst, three giant fists descended from the sky, slamming against Mu Chen, who stood on the shoulder of the Immortal Golden Body.
As the giant fists continued to descend, the space continued to collapse wherever they hit. Countless heroes in the Northern Region watched in horror, as they wondered…
Is there any way that Mu Chen can survive such a destructive strike?
As the giant fists descended from the sky, Mu Chen suddenly opened his eyes. His pupils were as dark as the night sky and as deep as an abyss, but they were also filled with an unfathomable power.
It was at this point that people started to realize that the spiritual energy fluctuation that had broken out from Mu Chen’s body had risen to an alarming extent.
“He has successfully broken through! How could he be so fast?” Sage Zi Yun exclaimed.
He and the others were shocked and trembling. Under normal circumstances, it would take a very long time to raise one’s potential, yet it had taken Mu Chen mere minutes to do so!
What they did not know was that Mu Chen had fulfilled the qualification to break through to the level of Complete Sovereign. He’d suppressed his breakthrough so that everything could come together at one point. Then, with the Saint Spiritual Pill as an introduction, he then finally released the suppression and naturally broke through without any difficulty.
“Hmph! Your journey ends today, even if you broke through to the level of Complete Sovereign!” Sage Zi Yun declared, while quickly suppressing the shock that he was feeling.
Ignoring his threat, Mu Chen lifted his head and quickly formed a seal with his hands. The Immortal Golden Body was then seen roaring into the sky as it served out a punch, which immediately formed a golden shield that crashed into the three descending bright fists.
Bang!
At the moment of impact, the world seemed to have gone completely silent for a moment. In the next instant, tremendous spiritual shock waves exploded in the sky, causing all of the clouds completely disintegrate. At this moment, the huge purple gold body was swept away by the storm, while the three giant fists were also forcibly blocked by it.
In the sky, Sage Zi Yun and the others were dissatisfied. Their facial expressions were nowhere near calm. This was due to the fact that, despite having the advantage over Mu Chen, they had still failed to take him down! In fact, all they did was knock Mu Chen back, and he did not even seem to have any major injuries!
Seeing that the world was in a state of turmoil, some heroes shook their heads. They could not believe that Mu Chen had been able to face the joint strike of these three overlords. Moreover, he had survived!
“That was truly incredible! He actually held his own against three clan leaders, all by himself! The master of the Mu Estate is truly amazing!” someone exclaimed.
At this moment, despite most of the parties still being under the leadership of the three clan masters, they could not help but express their admiration for Mu Chen. While whispers could be heard all over the place, Sage Zi Yun, Reverend Thunder, and the Golden Eagle King, who were in the sky, were all gazing at Mu Chen with cold, deadly looks.
Yet, while facing their cold gazes, Mu Chen simply waved his hand lightly and said, “Not bad.”
He then lifted his head to stare at Sage Zi Yun and the others, smiled, and asked, “Have you had had enough for today? Now, it’s my turn, isn’t it?”
As he spoke, while disregarding their reply, he raised his hand and a crystal tower flew up and shot into the sky. The next instant, a gigantic shadow descended and shrouded Sage Zi Yun and the others, as well as the Sovereign Celestial Appearance that was on their backs, within it.
