Chapter 626: Mu Chen’s Sovereign Sea

In the sky, a cold glint flashed in Ji Xuan’s eyes as he stared at the thunderbolts surrounding Mu Chen. His eyes narrowed as he thought of Mu Chen’s prior statement. However, he twisted his mouth into a sardonic smirk as he replied, “Oh, really?”

Clearly, he did not believe that Mu Chen also possessed the Sovereign Sea. After all, no matter how astonishing an encounter he had, it was impossible to advance from the First Grade of the Spirit Disaster to summoning the Sovereign Sea in merely an hour.

However, in the face of Ji Xuan’s sarcasm and condescension, Mu Chen did not say anything more. Instead, he smiled slightly, his expression turning glacially cold. A chilling glint flashed in his thunderous eyes while his hands conjured up seals!

Whoosh!

A red pillar of light suddenly burst into the sky from the crown of Mu Chen’s head. Simultaneously, a palpably demonic force pervaded the heavens and earth, as if a primordial, ferocious beast was about to be born.

Everyone looked up at the scene.

Inside the red pillar of light, the gargantuan Demon Pillar stood quietly. The surface of the Demonic Pillar was well-worn and had traces of the vicissitudes of life. It was impossible to tell what could have inflicted the hideous marks, but it was also conceivable that in primordial times, the Great Meru Demonic Pillar most likely had gone through terrible and bloody battles.

On top of the Demonic Pillar, some strange patterns could be seen, such as chains entangled around the surface of the pillar, as if they were binding the Great Meru Demonic Pillar.

These patterns were naturally the seals that Mu Chen called upon from the “Immortal Page” within his body.

After all, the demonic aura of the Great Meru Demonic Pillar was too strong, and previously it had been impossible for Mu Chen to control it. Hence, he could only seal it away.

However, it was time for the seal… to be broken.

A cold glint flashed in Mu Chen’s eyes, and he moved immediately, appearing before the Great Meru Demonic Pillar, conjuring a seal with one hand and then dealing a blow to the Demonic Pillar.

Buzz!

A wave emanated from Mu Chen’s palm and then spread out. The “Immortal Page” hidden within his aurasea suddenly gave out a slight hum. A dark purple glow bloomed and surged out from Mu Chen’s palm.

“Seal, break!”

A faint voice rang in Mu Chen’s heart.

Whish-whish.

The dark purple light patterns on the surface of the Great Meru Demonic Pillar swiftly melted away.

Boom!

With the melting of the seal, the Great Meru Demonic Pillar suddenly trembled sharply and violently. The huge Demonic Pillar, which was originally a hundred feet tall, had expanded rapidly without Mu Chen’s control. Looking at it from a distance, it seemed it could reach up to the sky. The terrifying demonic power that emanated from the Demonic Pillar increased in sharp bursts, painting the heavens and earth a crimson red.

At the sight of the fierce burst of demonic power, many hearts trembled in fear.

Even the Chiefs of the Spiritual Academies in the sky were slightly unnerved by this terrible force.

Chief Tai Cang looked at the scene, a glint of surprise flashing in his somber eyes, as he murmured, “Is he intending to break the seal of the Great Meru Demonic Pillar? This primordial evil artefact is definitely not easy to control…”

The Great Meru Demonic Pillar was once the most precious treasure of the Demonic Dragon Palace. Chief Tai Cang was somewhat knowledgeable in this. Hence, he knew its power very well. If the Demonic Dragon Palace could restore the Great Meru Demonic Pillar to its original state, even if the Northern Heaven Spiritual Academy had the assistance of the Northern Sea Dragon, it would be difficult for them to win.

Now that the Great Meru Demonic Pillar had landed in Mu Chen’s possession, could he truly wield it with his current ability? With such an evil artefact, the moment he lost control of it, he would likely be devoured by its power.

Everyone gazed at the monstrous Demonic Pillar in the sky.

After he had broken the seal, Mu Chen looked up and gazed at the huge Demonic Pillar before him. The surface of the pillar appeared as if it had scarlet cracks, which appeared to be in the form of the mouth of the devil. The unceasing spitting of appalling waves of demonic force revealed the most terrifying side of the Great Meru Demonic Pillar.

Mu Chen moved and immediately appeared at the top of the Great Meru Demonic Pillar.

Crash!

However, just as he landed, the Great Meru Demonic Pillar trembled violently. A fierce demonic force transformed into a beam of blood-red light, sweeping towards him directly. Such an evil artefact could not be tamed easily, and with its legendary origins, such a powerful evil would possess its own intelligence. Mu Chen had sealed it previously. Hence, it could only lurk silently, but now that the seal had been broken, it naturally would be unwilling to let Mu Chen control it.
