Chapter 1042 (2/2)

Just when this thought had passed through Mu Chen’s mind, a low roar that promised death sounded, and then the death-gas light spots all over the sky surged and charged. A black light flashed, appeared directly in front of the four, and dealt a blow.

Rumble!

The palm was as dark as iron, and heaven and earth seemed to darken. One by one, death runes spread out from the void. If the runes invaded the human body, one would certainly die.

The group’s expressions twisted in fear, and they dared not have the slightest hesitation. Immediately, they activated the Quasi-Divine Artifacts in their hands, and rays of light bloomed, barely withstanding the death runes.

However, the defense lasted only a few minutes, and the spiritual light surrounding the four suddenly dimmed. The palm of darkness and death shrouded them, and the four retreated in discomfiture as if they had been struck hard.

Spurt.

Blood spurted out from their mouths, and they looked embarrassed. Fortunately, by virtue of the Quasi-Divine Artifacts’ protection, they were not corroded by the death-gas, and thus suffered a heavy, but not fatal, blow.

By this time, however, they had fully understood the power of the Grade Eight Beast Spirit. Even though they relied on the power of the Quasi-Divine Artifacts, there was no way they could defeat this Grade Eight Beast Spirit.

Roar!

The Grade Eight Beast Spirit let out a skyward roar, and the majestic death-gas turned viscous, transforming into tumultuous waves rolling behind it. The beast burst out again, intending to kill the invaders as quickly as possible.

Boom!

However, when it rushed towards Nine Nether and the others, the sky suddenly shined with brilliant golden light, and a massive Great Solar Undying Body emerged out of nowhere. That was Mu Chen, of course. The Great Solar Undying Body’s huge golden palm descended.

Bong!

In the face of Mu Chen’s sudden attack, the Grade Eight Beast Spirit also struck out a punch, clashing directly with the descending massive golden palm. Violent shockwaves burst out. That seemingly majestic giant gold palm unexpectedly failed to shake the Grade Eight Beast Spirit at all.

Roar!

The Grade Eight Beast Spirit’s gray-black pupils locked onto Mu Chen as it growled. It had apparently detected that Mu Chen was the one who gave it the greatest sense of danger. Therefore, it abandoned its pursuit of Nine Nether and the others. With a flash, it turned into a beam of black light and charged straight towards the Great Solar Undying Body. Death-gas converged wildly in its open mouth as it compressed into a death bomb. In the space near its mouth, there were bursts of distortion.

Upon seeing this, Mu Chen’s gaze turned grave. This Grade Eight Beast Spirit was indeed very difficult. Its combat effectiveness was such that even if Golden Sky Prime/Jin Qingtian were here, he would have been annihilated in just a few moves.

Rumble!

The death-gas condensed to the extreme in the Grade Eight Beast Spirit’s mouth, and finally, it burst out into a death-gas beam of light. It pierced through the space and charged straight towards Mu Chen.

Boom! Crash!

Mu Chen did not dare to have the slightest neglect in the face of such a terrible attack. A golden sun rose in the Great Solar Undying Body, and it finally exploded into a flowing gold torrent. The golden torrent transformed directly into a giant gold staff in Mu Chen’s hands. He swung it down and collided with the death-gas beam of light.

A deafening noise reverberated in the sky, and as the terrible shockwaves raged, the forest below was uprooted, and countless giant trees were shattered by the terrible shockwaves.

The four were also looking at the sky with intense eyes, as Mu Chen was the strongest on their team. If even he could not resist the Grade Eight Beast Spirit, their hunting would be greatly thwarted.

Boom!

Golden light raged as it permeated the sky, and the huge Great Solar Undying Body suddenly flew out. Cracks appeared on the surface of the body, and finally it burst and dissipated into light spots.

The Grade Eight Beast Spirit, on the other hand, only shot out hundreds of feet. Even though the death-gas surrounding it suffered a disturbance, it did not suffer too much harm.

Nine Nether and the others’ hearts sank. This Grade Eight Beast Spirit was so strong, it was far beyond their expectations. This was the first time they saw Mu Chen’s Sovereign Celestial Body shattered forcibly after such a short time.

Under their nervous glances amid the golden light spots in the sky, Mu Chen’s figure flashed out, and he looked in the distance at the Grade Eight Beast Spirit still radiating with death-gas. Then, without any hesitation, he swiftly retreated.

Roar!

As Mu Chen retreated, the Grade Eight Beast Spirit gave out a piercing roar, and its feet stomped out like a dark light, hunting Mu Chen down as swift as lightning. The Grade Eight Beast Spirit was very fast. In just a few minutes, it had caught up with Mu Chen. However, just as it was about to trigger the death-gas again and launch an attack, Mu Chen stopped. His black eyes gleamed as he locked onto the Grade Eight Beast Spirit, and then he smiled as his hands suddenly conjured seals.

Buzz!

The world suddenly flashed out with countless spiritual seals, and the light from them shined brilliantly. The heaven and earth were filled with spiritual light rays, which were linked to each other, as if to form a large and vast group of Spiritual Arrays… At a rough glance, the number of these Spiritual Arrays was not less than a dozen.

In order to kill this Grade Eight Beast Spirit, Mu Chen had arranged all the Spiritual Arrays he knew that were of use!
