Butchering Demonic Lotus Spiritual Array, activate.

When these words flowed softly through Mu Chen’s heart, the four black lotuses floating in the sky slowly bloomed. A light as black as ink rippled forth, silently emitting a wave that moved people’s hearts.

Anyone could feel the terrifying power hidden within the four black lotuses.

This was the final death blow from Mu Chen.

The perfect form of Butchering Demonic Lotus Spiritual Array consisted of four lotuses. In the past, Mu Chen had been limited by his own capabilities and was unable to manifest four black lotuses.

However, as Mu Chen broke through his power’s limits again and again, his affinity in forming spiritual arrays had deepened. Although he rarely exposed his identity as a Spiritual Array Master after his arrival at Daluotian, he did not neglect his spiritual array cultivation. As he improved, his affinity in his spiritual array cultivation strengthened as well.

This fact was so deeply hidden by Mu Chen that even Nine Nether and Mandela did not know about it. Without a soul noticing it, Mu Chen’s understanding of spiritual arrays reached rather astonishing heights.

The perfect form of Butchering Demonic Lotus Spiritual Array was a type of Earth Grade Spiritual Array. Spiritual Arrays of this level, especially the stronger ones, were feared even by Grade Five Sovereigns. Furthermore, Earth Grade Spiritual Arrays of higher levels could fend off Grade Six Sovereigns!

There were three grades of Spiritual Array Grandmasters: Heaven, Earth, and Man. Initially, Mu Chen was a high level Man Grade Spiritual Array Master. At that grade, the probability of successfully deploying a perfect Butchering Demonic Lotus Spiritual Array was extremely low. But as Mu Chen broke through the barrier of Grade Four Sovereign, his inner spiritual energy was strengthened, and in turn, his accomplishment as a Spiritual Array Master was as well.

With the help of the marvelous Small Heart Demon State, he ultimately attained Earth Grade, and was able to successfully deploy the perfect form of Butchering Demonic Lotus Spiritual Array!

And when the four black lotuses appeared, Mu Chen could vividly feel the heavens and the earth suddenly fall silent. Around the Platform for Bestowing Lordship, innumerable powerful individuals dropped their jaws in awe. Even the lords’ faces turned pale, evidently surprised.

They knew about Mu Chen’s identity as a Spiritual Array Master as Mu Chen had laid out a spiritual array before their eyes previously. But at that time, Mu Chen’s attainment level in spiritual arrays was not sufficient to warrant fear.

But now, looking at this spiritual array before them consisting of four black lotuses, even they could feel a sliver of danger, and their faces turned grim.

Mu Chen’s capabilities as a Grade Four Sovereign may not have earned their caution. However, combining that with the fact that he was an Earth Grade Spiritual Array Grandmaster, the lords no longer dared to despise him.

“Impossible!”

At the very moment Qiu Taiying let out an alarming shout of anger, Mu Chen’s slender finger had already tapped downward. His pale, young visage was as calm as water.

Ringgggg!

The four black lotuses blossomed and tilted towards the Lunar Celestial Body, and four lights as dark as ink gathered at the pistils. Suddenly, with a tremble, four pillars of light as black as ink shot out without a sound.

The surface of the black pillars of light was seemingly riddled with ancient patterns, mysterious and unpredictable.

As the pillars tore through space, they did so quietly, but wherever the pillars passed through, four dark, long crevasses lingered.

“Shield of Lunar!”

All the hairs on Qiu Taiying’s body stood up. His face blackened, and he hastily formed a seal with both hands, releasing his inner spiritual energy in an explosion without restraint. Black runes started to shine on the Lunar Celestial Body’s surface, forming a gigantic shield of black ice in front of it.

Swooooshh!

The four black beams of light flew past in the air silently, crashing into the shield of black ice as countless nervous gazes watched.

Tsktsk!

At the moment they collided, it was silent. There was no loud bang or crashing, and immediately countless eyes widened, as the seemingly impenetrable shield did not even delay the pillars one bit.

The shield melted like ice that had come in contact with lava and was instantly penetrated.

Qiu Taiying looked at the four mysterious black beams that seemed to have pierced through the ice shield in an instant. His face was flushed with the color of fear. Before he could react, the horrifying black beams closed the space between them and hit the Lunar Celestial Body’s huge figure ferociously as he looked on with a sliver of terror in his eyes.

The black light pillars projected into the Lunar Celestial Body. At the point of entry, a black floral pattern spread forth with an alarming speed, covering the entire Lunar Celestial Body extremely quickly.

As the black floral pattern grew, Qiu Taiying’s face turned pale because he could feel the immense spiritual energy quickly dissipating wherever the patterns reached.

No matter how he tried to stop the dissipation, it just wouldn’t stop.
