Chapter 1479: Compensation
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
When the golden dragon claws hit the gloomy Ghost Seal heavily, an incredible horror emerged from the Ghost Emperor’s eyes.
“God Grade power?” The Ghost Emperor was shocked when he sensed that Mu Chen’s power had crossed over the level of Spiritual Grade and into that of true God Grade.
Although Mu Chen was able to counter God Grade power with the Dragon of Fighting Spirit, the power of the Fighting Spirit itself did not originate from him. As such, Mu Chen himself was only at the middle stage of Spiritual Grade. However, Mu Chen’s punch at that moment contained true God Grade power.
The Ghost Emperor was incredibly surprised, since Mu Chen was still at the Spiritual Grade in his perception, but the strength that emerged from Mu Chen’s right arm was God Grade.
Boom!
He did not have the luxury to think about it any further, as an oppressive dragon cry echoed. A vast force burst forth at the moment of their confrontation, instantly cracking the Ghost Seal.
The Ghost Emperor’s expression changed drastically. It had been hard to get rid of Mu Chen when he was still a Spiritual Grade Heavenly Sovereign. Now that he was equipped with God Grade power, it was an entirely different matter.
He retreated without hesitation. Changing seals, the Ghost Emperor burst away as cold air dashed towards Mu Chen. The air howled like 10,000 wailing ghosts.
Roar!
However, when the cold air enveloped Mu Chen, golden light swept out accompanied by the cries of a dragon. They melted the cold air the instant they came into contact with it.
Swoosh!
The phoenix wings behind Mu Chen flapped as he approached the Ghost Emperor. The golden dragon fist broke through the void and finally hit the Ghost Emperor’s chest.
Thunk!
The Ghost Emperor screamed as the golden rays of light burst through his chest, destroying all his defenses. Even though he had the strength of a God Grade Heavenly Sovereign, his body was forcibly crushed by the punch.
Blood poured over the sky and rained upon the earth. The Ghost Emperor’s body fell from the sky and finally landed heavily on the white jade square. Though the square had been built with special materials, the shaking of the earth from the impact had utterly destroyed it. The whole world was silenced by the resulting sound.
Countless top powers were pale after watching this scene. The feeling of respect emerged from the bottom of their hearts when they looked at Mu Chen.
The top powers said with complicated expressions, “He’s way too powerful…” Even their arrogance was daunted when they witnessed his terrifying power. With his own strength alone he was able battle and defeat five God Grade Heavenly Sovereigns. Such an outstanding achievement overwhelmed the top powers in the Great Thousand World.
All of them were clear that there was nobody on the entire Tianluo Continent who could shake the Mu Estate’s status as long as Mu Chen was there. The Mu Estate had become the Overlord of Tianluo Continent starting from that day. It was all because of the horrific Estate Master.
The fighting spirit above the sky dissipated, and more than 10,000 Mystery Dragon Army troops turned into a ray of light that plunged into Mu Chen’s ring. The phoenix wings behind him slowly retracted into his body. Mu Chen lowered his head and looked at the top powers with his dark, calm eyes.
“The Mu Estate will be dominate the Tianluo Continent starting today. The forces of all parties must bow to the Mu Estate. Otherwise, please leave the Tianluo Continent.” Mu Chen’s voice echoed between the heavens and the earth. Although his voice was dull and plain, it contained an unquestionable tyrannical authority.
Mu Chen clearly understood that the Mu Estate no longer needed to keep a low profile. What he needed to do at the moment was to transform the Tianluo Continent into the Mu Estate’s property. The Mu Estate could only develop rapidly and rank on the supreme power list of the Great Thousand World when they had the Tianluo Continent as their base.
The top forces of the various parties had complicated expressions. Their status was high on the Tianluo Continent, but there was somebody who was stronger now. However, no one dared to show any doubt. The only five qualified people had already lost to Mu Chen. After a short silence, the top powers and all forces bent and clasped their fists, and a respectful address echoed throughout the Tianluo City. “Estate Master.”
Nine Nether, Mandela, and the others felt an upsurge of emotion, and the Mu Estate’s other top powers were even more excited and proud. It was apparent that their estate would eventually become prominent in the Great Thousand World under Mu Chen’s leadership.
Mu Chen nodded calmly in the air above and looked at the five deep pits on the white jade square. He said, “Don’t hide anymore. The God Grade Heavenly Sovereign is not easily killed.”
Spiritual light emanated from the pits, and five figures slowly arose, including the Ghost Emperor and Ancestor Danyang. However, their spiritual energy was devastated, and their bodies bloodied. It was obvious that they were severely injured.
Looking at Mu Chen with dignified expressions, fear also showed in their eyes. Even the Ghost Emperor was showing his fear in utter silence. Their spirits were broken.
“You won today, Mu Chen. We will never touch the Tianluo Continent,” said Reverend Purple Thunder.
Mu Chen smiled. “Touch it if you want, but I will cut off your arms.”
The five of them could not reply to Mu Chen’s provocative statement. The losers had lost their confidence.
“Just tell me your terms and conditions,” said Mu Chen, nonchalantly.
The Ghost Emperor’s expression was dignified as he said, “What else do you want?”
Mu Chen’s eyes were cold. He said, “If I let you go now, people will probably think that I have a good temper and challenge me.”
Reverend Purple Thunder was angry. “Don’t push it too far! We are not that weak. We will just self-destruct along with you if we lose patience.”
Mu Chen felt no pressure after hearing his words. “If you had such power, you wouldn’t have ended up like this.”
If the five God Grade Heavenly Sovereigns were going to self-destruct, it would indeed be extremely dangerous for him. However, Mu Chen didn’t expect them to do so, since every God Grade Heavenly Sovereign was cherished.
The Ghost Emperor finally spoke in a quiet voice, “What do you want?”
“Simple. Each of you compensate me 10,000,000,000 drops of Sovereign Spiritual Liquid.” The Mu Estate was going to dominate the Tianluo Continent, and that meant they needed a vast amount of Sovereign Spiritual Liquid as their foundation.
“What?!” The expressions of the Ghost Emperor and the other four were dignified. It would take at least ten years to get 10,000,000,000 drops of Sovereign Spiritual Liquid with the support of huge financial resources and powers. As they had many family members, their spending was hefty. Just like the Mu Estate, though they had more than 1,000,000,000 in income per year, only a little was left at the end.
“Are you kidding? The forces under us are going to disband if we take that amount.” They also needed the Sovereign Spiritual Liquid, which was essential for cultivation, to maintain the forces under them.
“Five billion then,” Mu Chen gave a light smile. “Otherwise, you can just self-destruct.”
The Ghost Emperor and the other four were stunned in anger.
Mu Chen said, “The Ghost Emperor does not have to give his 5,000,000,000…”
The Ghost Emperor was temporarily relieved, as he thought that Mu Chen was afraid of his power, thus preventing Mu Chen from forcing too much out of him.
But then Mu Chen continued, “Just give me the Ancient Power Combining Mirror.”
The Ghost Emperor’s body chilled, and his face convulsed when he heard this. “You!” The Ghost Emperor was livid. A sacred object of such a level was definitely more valuable than 5,000,000,000 Sovereign Spiritual Liquid drops.
“If you don’t want to hand it over, then I will take it myself.” Mu Chen’s eyes turned cold and sharp, and a surge of spiritual energy surrounded him.
The Ghost Emperor’s expression was unreadable as he suppressed his anger. He waved his sleeves, and a gray light ray emanated from them. Mu Chen took over and nodded in satisfaction as he looked at the ancient mirror in his hands.
The other four no longer resisted since the Ghost Emperor had surrendered. Three universal bracelets emitting spiritual energy appeared as they waved their sleeves.
Mu Chen checked the bracelets and nodded. Then, he looked at Ancestor Danyang. The latter was in trouble. The forces under him had consumed a lot of Sovereign Spiritual Liquid recently, and he was unable to produce the amount as requested at the moment. Ancestor Danyang did not have any reaction, and Mu Chen’s expression turned cold again. Feeling Mu Chen’s gaze, Ancestor Danyang said, “What if I offer you some worldly treasure instead?”
“Such as?” Mu Chen asked without much real interest.
Ancestor Danyang hesitated and said, “The remains of the Mandala flower, which was a God Grade Heavenly Sovereign.” He looked at Mandela as he was talking. It was obvious that he knew about Mandela.
As he expected, a surge of excitement sparked in Mandela’s golden eyes. She was a Complete Earthly Sovereign, and she could reach God Grade Heavenly Sovereign if she had the remains of the Ancient Mandala Flower. However, the Ancient Mandala Flower was too precious, so she had never received any information regarding the flower all these years. Unexpectedly, Ancestor Danyang had a stalk.
However, Ancestor Danyang hesitated, because the Ancient Mandala Flower’s remains were somewhat broken. Its market value was probably around a mere 1,000,000,000 drops of Sovereign Spiritual Liquid. Mu Chen’s chillness was replaced unexpectedly by a gentle smile. “Yes! Let it take the place of the 5,000,000,000!”
Of course he was clear that the remains were not worth 5,000,000,000, but he would make the sacrifice for Mandela’s sake. Mandela had helped him a lot when they were in Daluo Territory, and she also helped him to form the Mu Estate. Mu Chen did not hesitate if he could help Mandela in breaking through.
Ancestor Danyang was joyful when Mu Chen agreed so swifty. With a flick of his finger, a jade bottle was given to Mu Chen. It was filled with Spiritual Liquid drops immersing an enchanting flower that was as big as a palm, fluctuating with special waves.
“This is indeed the remains of the Ancient Mandala Flower!” Mu Chen waved his sleeves and passed the bottle to Mandela. She held the bottle and looked at Mu Chen with warmth in her eyes.
“Well! You all can go now!” Mu Chen clapped his hands and smiled.
The five of them looked at each other while suppressing their unwillingness. They sighed and thought to themselves, It’s not too bad. Then, they turned into light rays and disappeared into the sky.
A man in black and white robes was watching the situation from a tower far from Tianluo City. Mu Chen would know him if he saw him. He was Maha You, whom Mu Chen had met in the Budur Ancient Clan.
“You five are useless!” Maha You slammed his fist on the thick, steel-like wall, sending a thousand cracks running through it. The fighting between Mu Chen and the five was actually part of his plan. In order to help the five achieve their goal, he even contributed the sacred object from his clan. He hadn’t expected that the Ghost Emperor would lose to Mu Chen and even give Mu Chen the sacred object, which angered him greatly.
“Hmm?” As Maha You’s emotion was fluctuating, Mu Chen sensed it from the white jade square. Immediately, his eagle-like gaze penetrated the space, locking on Maha You in the distance. “So, it was you. You were the one making trouble.” Mu Chen’s eyes turned icy cold in a second.
As Maha You sensed Mu Chen’s gaze, a horrific spiritual energy arose around him.
The two faintly appearing shadows behind Maha You said without a single shred of emotion, “Master, shall we deal with him?”
Maha You’s eyes were shining, but immediately, the fluctuating spiritual energy around his body disappeared. He shook his head and said coldly, “We might just attract Qing Yanjing to come here if we fight now. Don’t take any action for the moment. This plan was just a safety consideration by the clan. This guy has some capabilities, but I can still manage him. I will ruin him once he comes to the Aeon Congress. That place has no consideration for life or death, so even Qing Yanjing will not be able to help him.”
The shadows disappeared quietly as they heard Maha You’s commands.
Maha You stared at Mu Chen from a distance. As they looked at each other, there was a fluctuation of coldness. Maha You raised his palm, aimed at Mu Chen, and clenched. He smiled with a chill, and Mu Chen heard a cold voice in his ears. “Enjoy for now. I will ruin you at the Aeon Congress!” Maha You laughed wildly as his figured slowly disappeared.
Mu Chen watched Maha You disappear with a dignified expression as his hands slowly clenched into fists. “Maha You, I will definitely get the the Primordial Immortal Body!”
