Chapter 685 (2/2)

Mu Chen stared at the four hastily retreating figures, a cold smirk appearing on his face. If the power of the Nine Dragon Nine Elephant Art was limited to this, it would be undeserving of the rank of Perfect Divine Art.

Whoosh!

With a flick of his fingers, the rampaging purple flames and black thunder condensed and converged, entwining with each other like two beams of light. Then, with a whoosh, they disappeared within heaven and earth. In an instant, it appeared before the Sovereign, who was the gauntest, and his face twisted in terror, as he realized he had become Mu Chen’s target.

Rather than injuring ten fingers, completely breaking one finger would deal more damage. Although Mu Chen’ s Nine Dragon Nine Elephant Art was immensely powerful, his cultivation was, after all, still shallow, so it was impossible to defeat all four Sovereigns easily, but it was sufficient to defeat one.

“Technique of Withered Wood!”

The gaunt Sovereign roared, as withered patterns spread on the Sovereign celestial body. Looking from afar, it looked as if it was a withered wood standing tall within heaven and earth.

Boom!

However, Mu Chen paid no attention to that, as the purple flames and black thunder light beams transformed into a violet dragon and thunder elephant, colliding on the massive Sovereign celestial body violently, with a brutal manner that threatened utter annihilation.

Crash!

In the moment of impact, a terrifying shockwave raged, like a volcanic eruption. Then, the Withered Wood Sovereign Celestial Body disintegrated and exploded. A floundering figure shot out, blood gushing as he fell harshly, the collision causing a huge deep pit in the ground. After the impact, his breaths were weak, as he was clearly severely injured, to the brink of death.

Gasp.

The crowd gasped, as no one had imagined that, within moments, Mu Chen would have defeated a Sovereign, who could employ a Sovereign celestial body.

“Big Brother Withered!”

The remaining three Sovereigns had shocked expressions, before their eyes flashed with growing murderous intent, and they stared at Mu Chen, as if they wanted to devour him.

“We are going to tear you apart!”

The three men roared, as massive Sovereign celestial bodies surged towards Mu Chen, the spiritual energy within heaven and earth shaking and rampaging with their fists.

“Activate!”

Mu Chen’s dark eyes were still cold, as he saw the three men attacking again. Lifting his hands, he watched as the forest below him crumbled, and a Spiritual Array formed by three black lotuses appeared.

“Butchering Demonic Lotus Spiritual Array!”

Mu Chen’s seals changed, as the three black lotuses soared and merged together in a row, bombarding the Sovereign celestial body violently.

Boom!

A beam of black light spread like ink drops, and the Sovereign celestial body that resembled a withered wood turned black, like cold stone, then exploded, disintegrating with cracks.

Spurt.

As the Sovereign celestial body was destroyed, the Sovereign fell, blood spurting out, revealing the severity of the injury. The two Sovereign celestial bodies that had rushed out stopped abruptly, fear surging in their eyes. They could not imagine how they had suffered such heavy casualties in just mere minutes.

Of course, not only did they not comprehend this, but even the crowd, who had been watching the battle, were dumbfounded, and they could only stare in shock. Mu Chen’s strength seemed to be, at best, equivalent to those of the four leaders. However, why was his combat power so terrifying, that he could annihilate two people within mere moments in two rounds?!

In the sky, the two Sovereigns did not dare approach, as they did not know what other tricks the young man had hidden up his sleeve. If history repeated itself, the two men, who had gone before, would have acted as their warnings.

“Retreat!”

Their gazes flickered, and they roared. The two moves, which Mu Chen had used to easily defeat the Sovereigns earlier, were too great a deterrent, and they were thoroughly horrified. The two Sovereign celestial bodies retreated, losing their desire to battle entirely.

“I’m afraid it’s too late to leave now!”

Upon seeing the two retreating figures, Mu Chen scoffed coldly. Since he had made his move, he would not show mercy. Moreover, this was not Northern Heaven Spiritual Academy, so being too soft and indecisive was an utterly foolish thought.

He conjured seals once again, as a beam of light surged out from his crown violently, and a Pagoda roared and expanded, trapping and suppressing the third Sovereign celestial body within. Atop the Pagoda, a golden dragon roared, as golden flames surged. Within a few moments, the third Sovereign celestial body was burned to nothing, and a charred figure fell helplessly, with little trace of life. Another Sovereign had been defeated!

The last leader was now scared out of his wits, as he scrambled to escape desperately. From a distance, it seemed as if a giant had rushed out to the peak of the Golden Pool, as he dared not stay at all.

Mu Chen looked at the desperately escaping figure, and did not pursue him, but rather just heaved a sigh of relief. Continuously displaying three aces up his sleeve had exhausted him, and he could barely withstand it, as most of the spiritual energy in his Sovereign Sea had been expended.

However, he was immensely satisfied that he could defeat three First Grade Sovereigns with such a swift speed. His figure descended slowly from mid-air, his dark eyes sweeping across some areas, as the figures retreated hastily, not daring to show any hostile intent. Mu Chen ignored them, as he flew towards the peak of the Golden Pool, thinking that no one would dare mess with him now.

At the bottom of the Golden Pool Peak, countless people gazed at the travelling figure in the light glass of spiritual energy. The commotion within heaven and earth quieted into silence, and shock was etched on everyone’s faces. They had now realized the terrifying tricks up Nine Nether Palace’s new Commander’s sleeve, as

one versus four, with the one killing the three, was certainly a result to be feared.

In the sky, the Three Kings gazed at the young man’s silhouette in the Spiritual Energy Screen, astonishment flashing in their eyes. Even the unfathomable Sleeping King had opened his eyes.

This young man… was not at all simple.
