Chapter 802: The Prince of Netherworld

The Prince of Netherworld stood aloof. His pale face was indifferent, and the terrible power of his spiritual energy flowed out of his body like a flood, causing the world to shake turbulently.

Everyone’s expressions changed under the oppressive aura of the spiritual energy, including Mu Chen’s.

The oppressive aura surpassed that of an ordinary Fourth Grade Sovereign and reached the rank of a Fifth Grade Sovereign!

Had the Prince of Netherworld advanced to the rank of Fifth Grade Sovereign?!

Countless powerful figures were shocked, as a Fifth Grade Sovereign could be considered the top elite in the myriad of top forces, let alone the younger generation in the North Territory. His power made others feel that it was utterly out of reach.

Some glanced at Mu Chen in pity. Mu Chen still had a chance when he was battling Liu Yan but faced with someone who had the ability of a Fifth Grade Sovereign like the Prince of Netherworld, his odds of victory were extremely slim.

Amid the many pitying gazes, Mu Chen glanced solemnly at the expressionless Prince of Netherworld as he tried to regain his composure. The power of a Fifth Grade Sovereign was enough to be ranked as a Lord in Daluo Territory!

Liu Yan’s ability might be a strong contender among the Fourth Grade Sovereigns, but compared to the Prince of Netherworld, the gap was too significant.

Is this the difference between the second and third ranks of the Dragon-Phoenix Record? Mu Chen clenched his fists as he stared at the Prince of Netherworld unflinchingly. He could feel sparks of pain blooming on his physique, as he could sense the threat and danger ahead.

Although there was only one rank difference between a Fourth and Fifth Grade Sovereign, this difference was far greater than between previous ranks.

In the Nine Grades of a Sovereign, the first four grades differed only in the level of power in spiritual energy. Once one advanced to the rank of a Fifth Grade Sovereign, significant differences appeared between ranks, the most obvious being that a Fifth Grade Sovereign would possess the power of traversing between spaces.

This was a rather powerful defensive and offensive move which could catch others off guard, and with this ability, Fourth Grade Sovereigns would be utterly thrashed if they encountered a Fifth Grade Sovereign.

Hence, this was why, when the other powerful figures realized that the Prince of Netherworld possessed the power of a Fifth Grade Sovereign, they cast pitying glances towards Mu Chen. They felt that the outcome of the battle was already determined.

No matter how powerful Mu Chen’s methods were, it would be impossible for him to defeat the Prince of Netherworld.

“Do you still wish to continue?” the Prince of Netherworld asked nonchalantly.

Mu Chen smiled but did not reply. His dark eyes held no trace of fear in them. The Prince of Netherworld was indeed powerful. However, if he wanted Mu Chen to surrender without a fight, that was not going to happen. To put it bluntly, the Prince of Netherworld was far from worthy of simply being surrendered to.

Seeing Mu Chen’s gaze, the Prince of Netherworld had his answer. However, his gaze remained unperturbed as he smiled faintly and replied, “Looks like another talent from Daluo Territory will fall in the Dragon-Phoenix Rift.”

Narrowing his eyes, Mu Chen was just about to reply but his pupils suddenly shrank, for he saw the space around the Prince of Netherworld distort before his figure vanished like a ghost.

Boom!

The space behind Mu Chen twisted violently, and a blow containing powerful spiritual energy charged towards his back like a specter.

The sudden unsettling offensive move caused Mu Chen’s expression to change, but he was always on his guard. He instantly conjured up seals with one hand, and in a flash of light, his figure seemed to have turned into a vague dragon silhouette, and as it moved, the space around him twisted, and his figure disappeared in the distorted space.

The blow of a palm landed but missed its mark as the Prince of Netherworld appeared in a flash. Seeing this, surprise flitted across his gaze before he said softly, “I didn’t think that a mere Third Grade Sovereign like you could traverse between spaces, too… But what a pity, your method of leaning on physical prowess is too weak.”

Just as he finished speaking, his figure vanished again, leaving behind fluctuations in the space.

A thousand feet away, the space rippled as a dragon silhouette soared across, but just as the silhouette transformed into Mu Chen, his expression changed yet again.

In front of him, the space rippled as a specter-like figure rushed out. The blow of a palm surged fiercely with a momentum capable of destroying mountains and seas.

This time, Mu Chen could not avoid it.

The suffocating majestic aura from the palm surged, and golden light flowed on Mu Chen’s body as the Dragon-Phoenix Golden Armor appeared in a flash. At the same time, a layer of dark golden dragon scales emerged on the surface of his skin.

In just a few moments, he had triggered the power within his body to the extreme, and with a blow from both palms, he clashed straight on with the Prince of Netherworld’s blows amid countless dumbfounded gazes.

Boom!
