Dong!

The three black lotuses raced across the sky and finally collided with the huge shadow covered in magma armor. Surprisingly, at the instant of impact no deafening sounds were produced.

Black light burst out like liquid and eventually moved along the magma armor at a shocking speed, corroding the armor along the way. Wherever the black liquid touched, the magma was extinguished instantaneously and slowly abated.

There were no earthshaking explosions, but that silent corrosion contained a frightening power.

It was as if Liu Ming’s Heavenly Flame Celestial Body had turned stiff. His burning eyes stared at the black light that was spreading like ink on his giant body. In the depths of his eyes, intense horror could be seen.

He realized that his Heavenly Flame Celestial Body was rapidly losing its strength in the places where the black light had spread. It appeared as if even the Sovereign Celestial Body was being contaminated.

“D*mn it, what spiritual array is this?!”

Panic surged out from Liu Ming’s heart. Just then, he clenched his teeth tightly, and a deep roar emanated from his throat. The spiritual energy around him started to boil, and more magma gushed out on the Heavenly Flame Celestial Body. The magma rushed towards the bizarre, spreading black light like a magma torrent.

Sizzle!

The two powers collided hard into each other, and a white mist burst out.

The red magma released its violent power wildly in an attempt to eliminate the liquid-like black light, but the latter moved on closely like maggots feeding on a corpse. It did not appear to be powerful, but it still continued to corrode the magma torrent bit by bit at a slow yet steady pace.

Mu Chen watched the scene with a cold look. Then his seals changed again, and a low voice projected from his mouth. “Black Lotus Corrosion!”

Buzz!

As his seals changed, the corrosion rate of the black liquid suddenly increased. In the span of a dozen breaths, half of the huge Heavenly Flame Celestial Body was contaminated with the color of ink. The spiritual energy within these parts completely vanished.

Liu Ming’s face was filled with horror. Finally, he was scared and tried to retreat but realized that his body could not move. He shouted hastily, “Kid, you dare to hurt me? Are you not afraid that my Tian Xuan Hall will chase you to the end of the world?”

Mu Chen was emotionless and ignored him. The speed of the corrosion increased.

Seeing that his threat was not only useless, but instead caused Mu Chen to strengthen his determination to kill him, Liu Ming’s voice quickly became more submissive, and he said, “Wait, I admit defeat this time. I will give you the Undying Divine Leaf and the Nine Dragon Nine Elephant Art!”

He stared at Mu Chen. However, Mu Chen’s black eyes were filled with ridicule. Mu Chen looked as if he were mocking Liu Ming’s foolish act.

“Now that you say this…”

Mu Chen raised his slender palm slowly, and then clenched it with a cold look on his face. “You really are as stupid as a donkey!”

Since they had already become enemies, Mu Chen would naturally not show any mercy at all. He knew doing so would bring him a lot of trouble. The clan behind Liu Ming was indeed powerful enough to put him in a serious predicament. Thus, since he had the chance, he would not be so silly as to think that this kind of event could be settled peacefully.

Vroom!

The liquid-like black light spread rapidly. In the end, it moved up along the neck of the Heavenly Flame Celestial Body and then spread across its face, covering the huge celestial body completely.

The Heavenly Flame Celestial Body instantly solidified. Liu Ming’s mouth had been about to roar and threaten but suddenly turned stiff. The spiritual energy around him that was originally boiling calmed down quickly as well.

The once majestic Heavenly Flame Celestial Body turned into a piece of black, cold rock just like lava that had been extinguished…

No spiritual energy could be felt.

Looking at the cold, dark, stone giant, some coldness appeared in Mu Chen’s eyes again. He stomped his foot and a purple spiritual energy condensing in his palm like a storm suddenly flew out.

A killing intent surged in the spiritual energy.

“How dare you!”

Just as Mu Chen displayed his killing intent, a loud roar came from the distance. The face of the old man in black robes who had been detained by Nine Nether darkened. Obviously, he did not expect Liu Ming to actually lose to Mu Chen.

The old man in black robes backed off quickly and wanted to launch an attack at Mu Chen. If something happened to Liu Ming, the hall master of Tian Xuan Hall would definitely not let him off.

“Humph.”

However, just as he backed off, a cold “humph” was heard. In the sky, a violent gust of wind swept across, and a cloud wing burning with purple flames fell down from the sky. It struck down towards the old man in black robes like a bolt of lightning as if it were tearing the sky apart.

The terrifying fluctuation falling from above caused the expression of the old man in black robes to change. He did not dare to ignore the attack because of the frightening purple flames.

If he was hit directly, even if he was a Grade Five Sovereign, he would definitely suffer a significant injury.

Therefore, the old man in black robes could only grit his teeth and slap his palm out. It turned into a huge hand made from spiritual energy and collided with the falling cloud wing.

Dong!

A violent spiritual energy storm spread.

The instant the old man in black robes was stopped by Nine Nether, Mu Chen had already appeared in front of the extinguished magma giant. His palm, which contained a large amount of spiritual energy, smacked onto the chest of the giant like a bolt of lightning.

Bang!

Violent spiritual energy raged below Mu Chen’s palm like the tides.

Crack.

Under the impact of the spiritual energy, cracks started spreading rapidly across the stiff chest of the magma giant. In just a few breaths’ time, its whole body was affected and in the end, it actually burst into pieces with a loud bang.

Crushed black stones flew out all over the place. In the magma giant, a dim light also shot out in panic, and the figure within spat out a great deal of blood. Eventually, he was ejected into a mountain, and the terrifying power even caused the peak to shatter into pieces. The figure was quickly covered by the rocks.

Mu Chen stood in midair and stared emotionlessly at the wrecked mountain. Moving his body, he appeared above the mountain, after which he waved his sleeves, and all the rocks were thrown out.

The rocks flew away, exposing the battered and bloody figure inside. He lay among the broken rocks looking weak and pale, and stared with a horrified expression at Mu Chen slowly descending toward him.

“Seems like your Heavenly Flame Celestial Body is not as strong as you have imagined,” Mu Chen said tonelessly as he stared at the horrified Liu Ming.
