After reaching a resolution with Zhantai Liuli, Mu Chen didn’t hesitate much, either. He just looked at her, but he didn’t say anything more. Instead, he turned and flew out.

Where he charged towards was, of course, that dark area where the “Sky Array Emperor” was tugging at the battle symbol chains, trying to break out of them to escape the battle array.

When he saw that Mu Chen dared to approach that area, his eyes suddenly flashed with malice. He licked his lips, and his face was full of intense murderous aura.

“You little brat, you are courting death!”

The “Sky Array Emperor” laughed fiercely, and his palm lifted sharply so that the black gas, which had gathered around his body, suddenly burst out like a stream of smoke and directly enveloped Mu Chen.

Whoosh!

Mu Chen saw the “Sky Array Emperor” attacking. His eyebrows knitted in a frown, but he did not take any defensive posture. Shaking his back, a pair of huge purple and gold phoenix wings stretched out. The wings vibrated as he swiftly retreated.

With the aid of the phoenix wings transformed from the Symbol of the Real Phoenix, Mu Chen’s speed had clearly reached an amazing level that was incomparable even to those who were at the peak of being a Fifth Grade Sovereign.

The wicked beacons of smoke, though fierce, could never catch up with Mu Chen. As it pursued him, the black gas gradually became thinner.

That’s because the power contained in it was rapidly consumed.

Seeing this, Mu Chen’s gaze flashed slightly. In this dark area, it seemed that the power of the “Sky Array Emperor” had been greatly suppressed, and these kinds of attacks surging out from his body would continuously weaken, likely due to being enveloped in the battle array.

It seemed that it was not impossible for him to weaken some of the “Sky Array Emperor’s” power if he resorted to using the suppression of the battle array.

“So, you’re a little brat who can only run away like a mouse!”

The “Sky Array Emperor” was surprised to see that Mu Chen was so fast, but immediately he smiled, held out his dry and pale fingers, and suddenly pointed them in the air. “Since you like to run so much, then I’ll let you run all you want!”

Boom!

As the fingers pointed, the thick black air around him rolled wildly and eventually turned into five enormous Black Demonic Serpents about 100 feet long. The serpents were covered with scales, ferocious and grotesque, smelling of rot all over their bodies. Even the space was corroded with traces of distortion.

Hiss!

The moment these five Black Demonic Serpents appeared with a hiss, they had pierced through the void and then surrounded it, charging directly towards Mu Chen.

Mu Chen’s face changed at the sight of the five Black Demonic Serpents. Judging by the fatal and dangerous fluctuations he perceived from them, although the “Sky Array Emperor” had been suppressed by the battle array for thousands of years, and now he was not half as powerful as he had been in his prime, he was still a massive mountain that Mu Chen could not contend with. If it had not been for it using most of its strength to fight against the Stone Army, it would have been possible for it to destroy Mu Chen effortlessly.

Even so, it could still be fatal to Mu Chen when it began to unleash its real power.

Whoosh!

The pair of phoenix wings flapped violently behind Mu Chen’s back and sped up to their extreme potential. His figure actually left afterimages in the air, and sharp sounds of something whistling through the air rang out piercingly.

He already knew that the power of the “Sky Array Emperor” would be constantly suppressed and depleted as long as it was within the battle array, so he would only have to keep circling. The violent offensive attacks would naturally be constantly weakened, and when they weakened to the point that Mu Chen could deal with them, he would be able to crush them.

Mu Chen’s battle strategy was correct, but he somewhat underestimated the severity of the offensive attacks. The five Black Demonic Serpents were so unexpectedly swift that they seemed to be able to penetrate the void. They came from all directions in short bursts and tried to kill him.

Boom!

The space to the right of Mu Chen shattered first, and a Black Demonic Serpent shot out with a sharp Demonic Spear from its tail. The snake snapped out in front of Mu Chen and shot down towards his heart.

Mu Chen’s silhouette rushed to a sudden standstill, and immediately his mind moved. Golden light burst out of his body, the Dragon-Phoenix Golden Armor emerged in a flash, and an indestructible wave spread out.

Mu Chen’s arms folded in front of him, and golden light permeated like a golden shield, allowing the serpent’s tail to shoot towards it fiercely.

Clang!

Both parties clashed harshly, and immediately sparks sputtered. The sound of gold and iron clashing violently reverberated, and the contact point in the space fluctuated with ripples visible even to the naked eye.

Whoosh!

Mu Chen’s figure flew back hundreds of feet. At his arms, which were protected by the golden armor, there was a dent, and the tingling feeling of pain spread through his arms, which secretly alarmed him. This was the power of only one Black Demonic Serpent’s tail, and it was powerful to that extent.

However, with the help of the momentum from flying backwards, Mu Chen had also withdrawn from the attack span of the Black Demonic Serpent, but he did not even have time to heave a sigh of relief. He saw that the space behind him was fragmented, and that another Black Demonic Serpent was coming fiercely and aggressively.

This speed was so fast, that even if Mu Chen had the phoenix wings to maximize his speed, he still could not escape.

Almost there!

Mu Chen’s eyes flashed rapidly, and he could feel that, after delaying, the power above the Black Demonic Serpent was no longer as terrible as it had been at first, but he did not have much time to escape now.

Boom!

At this point, Mu Chen did not hesitate. With a movement of the mind, the majestic spiritual energy erupted from his body like a storm. The light spread, and a huge silhouette emerged.

Behind the silhouette, a golden sun hung in the air, and the figure was like a Buddha. The wave of strong spiritual energy was pervasive.
