Dragon-Arm Sovereign placed his hands behind his back and stood tall on the stone platform. He was like a mountain, causing the earth underneath his feet to quake.

Dragon-Arm Sovereign and Withered Old Man were the masters in the North Territory, but Dragon-Arm Sovereign was more successful than Withered Old Man. It had been rumored that even the Divine Pavilion had wanted to recruit him, but were unsuccessful in their attempt.

The Divine Pavilion had sent a Pavilion Master to spar with Dragon-Arm Sovereign, but he had lost to Dragon-Arm Sovereign. This was proof of Dragon-Arm Sovereign’s strength and reputation in the North Territory.

As compared to Dragon-Arm Sovereign, Mu Chen had been viewed by most as a mere youth with great potential. Although he had made a name for himself in the North Territory, most people felt that it was impossible for Mu Chen to vie against masters like Dragon-Arm Sovereign.

When Dragon-Arm Sovereign went up to the platform and looked at Mu Chen, all of the onlookers’ eyes turned to Mu Chen as well. No one dared to mock him, especially after Nine Nether had turned the tables around.

Moreover, given his character, Mu Chen would not be rash enough to challenge Dragon-Arm Sovereign, unless he possessed the adequate means to do so. As such, all of the people were interested to find out just what means Mu Chen possessed that could help him deal with Dragon-Arm Sovereign.

As the people looked at him eagerly, Mu Chen remained calm. He then looked at Dragon-Arm Sovereign and smiled. In a flash, Mu Chen then appeared on the stone platform.

“Lord Mu, have you camouflaged your spiritual energy? Have you reached Grade Nine Sovereign? I will be impressed if so!” Dragon-Arm Sovereign asked mockingly, then fixed his gaze on Mu Chen.

Although Nine Nether had taken them by surprise earlier, he believed that it was impossible for Mu Chen to have reached Grade Nine Sovereign within such a short period of time. Even if he had done so, his foundation would be weak, so it would be impossible for him develop further. As such, there was nothing for Dragon-Arm Sovereign to be worried about.

When Mu Chen noticed his attitude, he was not enraged. Instead, he smiled and said softly, “You are right. I have not reached Grade Nine Sovereign.”

When Dragon-Arm Sovereign heard this, he loosened up. As long as Mu Chen had not reached Grade Nine Sovereign, he had no need to be afraid of him. Some of the people also heaved sighs of relief, including some of the lords.

“After all, it is not easy to reach Grade Nine Sovereign.” Mu Chen lifted up his head and looked at Dragon-Arm Sovereign, who now looked at ease. He then said slowly, “That is why I am still half a step away!”

Boom!

After Mu Chen said that, majestic spiritual energy burst out from his body and swirled around the area. It was like a tidal wave that engulfed the whole area, sending a strong gale across it.

Although there was no wind around Mu Chen, his robe still flapped. He smiled and a strong oppression exuded from his body.

All of the top powers suddenly froze. They were shocked by such a strong oppression!

Although the spiritual energy fluctuation was not yet that of a Grade Nine Sovereign, it had surpassed that of a Grade Eight! Clearly, Lord Mu was only half a step away to Grade Nine Sovereign!

Lord Asura, Lord Mountain Cracker, Lord Blood Hawk and the rest of the lords looked stunned. Before Mu Chen had left them, he had just entered Grade Six Sovereign. However, in less than a year, his strength had shot up to a Half Step to Grade Nine!

It made sense for Nine Nether to advance to Grade Nine Sovereign, as she was a Divine Beast. There was a difference in the cultivation of a Divine Beast and a human being. However, it puzzled them that Mu Chen was able to have such an accelerated advancement as a human being!

Many top powers were dumbfounded. Even the three kings looked grave. The Condor King looked especially perplexed.

When Mu Chen first came with Nine Nether to the Daluo Territory, he had just condensed the Sovereign Celestial Body. However, in only a few years, he had almost caught up with him, now being only half a step away from him!

“I knew back then that he was extraordinary, but I never expected him to progress so quickly!” the Condor King exclaimed. Given Mu Chen’s current progress, he would soon surpass the Condor King!

Mu Chen had a great future and, given enough time, he would not only reach Grade Nine Sovereign, but he could even be on par with the Dominator! The Condor King finally knew why the Dominator treated Mu Chen differently. She had foresight and saw the great potential that was within him.
