“Have mercy on him!” Three loud voices resounded in the sky from afar. At the same time, three powerful forces pierced through the space and blasted on the crystal pagoda that was moving down slowly onto Ancestor Xuan Tian. Apparently, they were trying to save Ancestor Xuan Tian, who was in dire straits.
The top powers in the area were taken aback by the sudden attack. They knew who these people were, as Ancestor Xuan Tian had shouted out their names earlier.
Zi Qi Spiritual Cave, Sage Zi Qi!
Thunder Temple, Reverend Thunder!
Long Diao Cave, Emperor Long Diao!
The three forces were the supreme powers in the Great Thousand World, and the ones who had struck were Heavenly Sovereigns!
According to the rules of Tianluo Continent, Heavenly Sovereigns were not allowed to interfere in the continent’s struggles. Since the three Heavenly Sovereigns of the supreme forces had stepped in, it was apparent that they could not take it any longer.
They saw how powerful Mu Chen was, and if they allowed Ancestor Xuan Tian to be suppressed by him, Mu Chen would enjoy fame and power that none of them had ever enjoyed. The entire North Territory would be at the Mu Estate’s mercy. The forces that they had painstakingly built up over the years would collapse as well. Thus, they could not allow Mu Chen to have such grandeur. They had to use this opportunity to put him down.
They planned to save Ancestor Xuan Tian, and the four of them would join forces to take Mu Chen on. Although Mu Chen’s replicas were at the Heavenly Sovereign level, Mu Chen would have to admit defeat.
“The ancestors have struck!” When Sage Zi Yun and the other two saw it, they were elated. The three Heavenly Sovereigns had stepped in, and they would definitely be able to turn the situation around. Although Mu Chen was powerful, he had to succumb to their might!
When Mu Chen saw the mighty forces that were coming on, a cold light flashed in his dark eyes. He was well aware of the three Heavenly Sovereigns’ motives. “Previously I did not take over the North Territory because I was still wary of you. However, since you have poked your nose into this matter today, you cannot blame me now.”
Mu Chen sneered and took a step forward. He appeared on top of the pagoda and formed a seal with one hand. Myriad purple golden lights burst out, and in the twinkle of an eye, a humongous purple golden figure appeared behind him.
The Immortal Golden Body!
The Immortal Golden Body was now much more powerful than before. After Mu Chen had broken through, it had increased exponentially in strength. The size alone had increased more than ten times.
Purple radiance flowed around the Immortal Golden Body, and its body was refined as though it were a substance. Previously, the Immortal Golden Body was more of a shadow but now… it was a real Purple Buddha! Ancient runes appeared on the huge Immortal Golden Body, and it emitted a light that seemed to last forever.
The Immortal Golden Body appeared behind Mu Chen and spewed out a vast Purple Stream from its mouth. As the stream spurted out, the space collapsed continually, as it was unable to withstand its force.
Mu Chen lifted up his head to look at the Purple Stream and nodded. The Purple Stream was formed by the Immortal God Runes, and according to his estimation, there were up to 480 Immortal God Runes.
Before Mu Chen stepped into the Heavenly Sovereign level, the amount of Immortal God Runes that he could activate was about 300, even when his two replicas merged with him. However, he had only triggered his thoughts, and the Immortal Golden Body was able to spew out nearly 500 Immortal God Runes. From the look of it, his strength had been greatly enhanced. As one moved on further, it would be difficult to refine one more Immortal God Rune, let alone several hundred of them…
The Purple Stream gushed out in the sky, and as Mu Chen triggered his thoughts, it twisted around and turned into a ferocious Violet God Dragon.
Roar!
The God Dragon roared, and its cry shook the sky.
Swoosh!
The Violet God Dragon shot up into the sky, carrying with it endless power that suppressed the void. As the top powers looked on, they saw that it hit the three mighty forces.
When the collision took place, the area quietened down. Although there was no earth-shattering sound, in the higher part of the sky, the space started to collapse. It then gradually formed a huge black hole…
The Violet God Dragon and the three mighty forces dispersed at that instant.
Gulp!
When the top powers saw what had happened, they swallowed hard and looked shocked. No one had expected Mu Chen to be able to block off the attacks from the three Heavenly Sovereigns.
“How can this be!?” Sage Zi Yun and the other two widened their eyes in disbelief. Although the three Heavenly Sovereigns had not given it their best shot, the three had joined forces. However, Mu Chen was able to take the blow based on his own strength alone. It was clear to everyone that Mu Chen possessed strong combat force.
“Ha. How dare you mess around with my Mu Estate. Since you have done it, I have the right to deal with you. The rest of you do not have a say in this matter!” Mu Chen’s cold and majestic voice resounded in the area. He stood on top of the pagoda and looked coldly at the void.
There was a great silence in the sky, and the three Heavenly Sovereigns were shocked by Mu Chen’s might. Mu Chen ignored them and stomped hard on the pagoda. The pagoda shook, and crystal light burst out, covering Ancestor Xuan Tian, who was doing his best to hold the pagoda up.
“Ah!” Ancestor Xuan Tian cried out. His humongous Sovereign Celestial Body suddenly dimmed down, and with a swish, the crystal pagoda came down on him, sucking him and his Sovereign Celestial Body into it.
The crystal pagoda stood in the space and exuded a Holy Light. When everyone saw it, they were filled with amazement and fear. It was too shocking to see a Heavenly Sovereign being forcibly suppressed.
“Master Mu!”
“Master Mu is invincible!”
The area went into silence for a moment, and then there was a deafening shout. Many top powers from the Mu Estate shouted out loudly. They were filled with respect for Mu Chen, and they idolized him.
The Mu Estate had been suppressed by Ancestor Xuan Tian, and they were so ashamed that they could not even lift up their heads. However, their Estate Master had come back strong, and he had even suppressed Ancestor Xuan Tian, a Heavenly Sovereign.
Mu Chen’s outstanding performance had lifted up the spirits of everyone in the Mu Estate, and they felt extremely proud of their Estate Master. With such an amazing Estate Master, no one in the North Territory, including Tianluo Continent, would have the audacity to set themselves against the Mu Estate from now on.
As the top powers in the Mu Estate were shouting with joy, the faces of many of the top powers from the other forces darkened and turned cold. As the Mu Estate had been in bad shape previously, these forces had chosen to leave them in the lurch, as they had no wish to get implicated by them. They had thought that the Mu Estate would not be able to survive this day, and they never expected the tables to be turned.
“We are done for now… We will no longer be able to stay in the North Territory.” All their faces turned pale as though they were in mourning.
When Mu Chen heard the deafening shouts of joy below, he stretched out his hand and the huge crystal pagoda started to shrink. It then landed on his palm, and Mu Chen glanced at it. He had activated the Eight Budur and suppressed Ancestor Xuan Tian in it. However, it was not yet time to deal with Ancestor Xuan Tian.
As Mu Chen held the crystal pagoda in his hand, he lifted up his head to look at the space. His calm voice resounded in the area as he said, “Since the three of you have gotten yourselves involved in this, show yourselves. A Heavenly Sovereign does not behave in such a sneaky manner.”
After Mu Chen had made the statement, three beams came down from the heavens and appeared in the space. They then turned into three grand figures. The three figures stood in the sky and looked imposing, causing the sky to shake. Apparently, the three of them who had struck earlier were Sage Zi Qi, Reverend Thunder, and Emperor Long Diao.
The three Heavenly Sovereigns looked pale. Although the three of them had struck at the same time, they were unable to save Ancestor Xuan Tian from Mu Chen’s hands, and that made them look bad.
However, Mu Chen disregarded their expressions. He took a deep look at them and said flatly, “Ancestor Xuan Tian came to my Mu Estate to create trouble, and I believe all of you had a hand in this. Today, you owe us an explanation.”
When the three Heavenly Sovereigns heard what Mu Chen said, their gazes froze. Emperor Long Diao’s gaze turned sharp, and he sneered. “Oh? What does Master Mu want from us?”
“From now on, the North Territory belongs to our Mu Estate. The rest of you have to back out,” Mu Chen said casually as he looked down.
After he made this statement, many people were shocked. The three Heavenly Sovereigns were furious. They had never expected Mu Chen to be so presumptuous in front of the three of them.
Sage Zi Qi, who was dressed in a purple robe and exuded an ethereal aura, said with a frown, “Master Mu has gone overboard…”
Emperor Long Diao was tyrannical in nature, and he asked coldly, “What if we do not agree to it? What can you do to us?”
“What?” When Mu Chen heard it, a killing intent raged out like a windstorm from his body. At the same time, the black and white Mu Chens stepped out from the space and appeared beside him. They looked coldly at Emperor Long Diao and the other two Heavenly Sovereigns.
The entire area fell silent. Everyone could see the strong killing intent in Mu Chen’s eyes. It was apparent that the Mu Estate Master had been enraged by Ancestor Xuan Tian’s actions.
In order to awe everyone on Tianluo Continent, Mu Chen had to show how tough and overbearing he was, even though the masters of the three supreme forces were standing before him.
As the people looked on in shock, Mu Chen smiled, and his sharp voice resounded in the area. “What else can I do? I shall fight it out with you, and we shall see who survives and who will be sent to the grave.”
