Chapter 1403 - A Strong Return (2/2)

”This Mu Chen is a monster!” someone exclaimed.

Everyone shook in terror and began murmuring, while a sense of fear filled their hearts. Of course, they weren't the only ones who were shocked, but all of the powerful leaders on the continent that day had focused their attentions in various ways on the Mu Estate. Apparently, the news that Mu Chen had broken through to the Heavenly Sovereign level had silenced the whole Tianluo Continent!

However, Mu Chen did not pay too much attention to everyone's shock. He just raised his head and looked at Ancestor Xuan Tian emotionlessly, while the latter's expression darkened.

”Da*n it, boy! How could you breakthrough to the Heavenly Sovereign level?” Ancestor Xuan Tian's face changed, while his gaze revealed his shock.

According to the information that he had received, Mu Chen was nothing more than a Complete Earthly Sovereign, but the Mu Chen in front of him was obviously far above such a level!

”Why? Didn't you have fun wreaking havoc in my Mu Estate just now?” Mu Chen looked at Ancestor Xuan Tian's uncertain face, his eyes slightly cold, while he spoke sarcastically.

Upon hearing his words, Ancestor Xuan Tian's face turned grave and he snorted coldly. ”Boy, don't be cocky! You just stepped into the rank of Heavenly Sovereign. If it really comes to a fight, I can deal with you easily.”

He was, at least, a Heavenly Sovereign too, and all eyes were upon him now. As such, it would be no small blow to his reputation if Mu Chen embarrassed him.

Mu Chen smiled nonchalantly as he asked, ”Who exactly told you to find trouble with me?”

Although Ancestor Xuan Tian's behavior was likely to have been spurred by the supreme powers behind the Purple Cloud Sect, Mu Chen's instincts caused him to feel that there were other reasons behind it as well.

Ancestor Xuan Tian sneered. ”Shouldn't you know who you have offended?”

Mu Chen's eyes narrowed. Although he had offended a lot of people, there was obviously only one opponent who could engage a Heavenly Sovereign to deal with him. That was the Budur Ancient Clan.

Qing Shuang had sent news that, although the Budur Ancient Clan did not dare to strike at him, they could still find other Heavenly Sovereigns to do so for them. With the network of the Budur Ancient Clan elders, it was clear that it would not be too hard to ask a Heavenly Sovereign to strike.

A cold glint flashed in Mu Chen's eyes before he quickly concealed his emotions and said coldly, ”No matter who entrusted you with this task, since you have lost your mind, it is natural that you must pay the price.”

”How arrogant!” Ancestor Xuan Tian laughed out of fury.

When he became famous in the Great Thousand World, Mu Chen had not even been born yet, and still, he dared to speak to him like this! But, Mu Chen did not talk nonsense with him any longer.

At that moment, the billions of lights that had burst out of his body suddenly began to retreat before finally converging into his body. With the influx of this vast spiritual energy coming into his body, Mu Chen's flesh and blood gradually changed into a shining crystal spiritual body.

At this moment, it was as if Mu Chen's flesh and blood had been transformed into pure spiritual energy, which had an indescribable and horrifying power.

”Heavenly Spiritual Body?” Seeing this, Ancestor Xuan Tian's gaze turned solemn. The fact that Mu Chen could do this meant that it was true that he had stepped into the Heavenly Sovereign stage.

”It is clear that this boy has just stepped into the Heavenly Sovereign stage and has not yet to refine the spiritual pulse that is hidden in the deepest part of his body.” Ancestor Xuan Tian's gaze flickered. As an experienced Spiritual Grade Heavenly Sovereign, he could easily see the flaws of Mu Chen's Spiritual Body.

Today, it seems that there is no way to settle this amicably. In that case, I'll first fight the boy, then subdue him. Let's see if he will still be so arrogant then!

After Ancestor Xuan Tian thought these things in his heart, he came to a decision. According to his estimation, Mu Chen had only just stepped into the Heavenly Sovereign stage, so he obviously was not entirely in control of its power yet. Hence, it should not be too difficult to defeat him.

With a resolution in his heart, Ancestor Xuan Tian's eyes became cold and fierce. He stared at Mu Chen and said coldly, ”Since you are a boy who does not know what's good for you, I will let show you today that, even if you step into the Heavenly Sovereign stage, there are still too many people in this world that can make you pay! As such, it's not your place to be so arrogant!”

Boom!

When he finished speaking, his body shook. At that same time, hundreds of millions of lights burst forth from him.

Behind him, countless stars shot into his body, so that his body became a bright Spiritual Body that was engraved with the stars. The boundless spiritual energy fluctuations swept out of his body.

High above this scene, two Spiritual Bodies stood in the air. They made eye contact as a cold light surged throughout the space and the temperature between heaven and earth suddenly dropped.

Whoosh!

The next moment, the two Spiritual Bodies burst out amid the crowd's fervent gazes.
