“So, are you ready to meet your doom?” The calm and tranquil voice of Sage Zi Yun echoed out to the world.
This might have sounded like a joke if it was said by anyone else, but none of the powerhouses could laugh now. In this North Region, once Sage Zi Yun made this remark, the rest of the people, apart from the other two overlords, would have to really sit and wait to meet their dooms.
Mu Chen completely ignored Sage Zi Yun as he looked at Reverend Thunder and the Golden Eagle King. He smiled at them, then asked, “Don’t you want to join us too?”
Apparently, he could tell that both Reverend Thunder and the Golden Eagle King harbored killing intentions, but he was not fearful of them. Instead, Mu Chen provoked them further!
The various powerhouses’ faces all twitched as they wondered…
Does Mu Chen really have some special skills, or is he just being arrogant? Was Sage Zi Yun alone not enough? He still wants to get Reverend Thunder and the Golden Eagle King to fight with him together?
Once the three overlords joined forces, the powerhouses believed that Mu Chen would perish today without a doubt.
Reverend Thunder and the Golden Eagle King squinted their eyes in the face of Mu Chen’s provocative words. An icy radiance then gathered in their eyes as they glared at Mu Chen. They could not understand why Mu Chen was so arrogant.
However, Mu Chen only smiled at them as they glared at him. He showed no intentions of backing down, and the only thing that could be seen in his pitch-black eyes was an intense fighting spirit.
Judging from Mu Chen’s demeanor, Reverend Thunder and the Golden Eagle King felt that Mu Chen was either insane, or that he had a handful of trump cards. These were the only two explanations that could allow him to maintain such calmness in such a situation.
As they were both overlords in the North Region, they had vast experience in practicing cautiousness. As such, they remained careful and very wary of Mu Chen in this situation.
Reverend Thunder smiled and said, “You are the prey of Sage Zi Yun now. As such, it would be inappropriate for us to meddle yet.”
Regardless of whether Mu Chen was insane or he really did have special means, Reverend Thunder and the Golden Eagle King would soon be able to tell easily since Sage Zi Yun would be testing him out.
Currently, Mu Chen was an unknown enemy. If they were to make any moves before properly planning, they might land themselves in a mess, especially if Mu Chen had special means.
Since they could sit back and watch for a bit, Reverend Thunder and the Golden Eagle King could wait and see what Mu Chen was capable of before making any moves. Then, they would show Mu Chen the miserable outcome that awaited any man who dared to be so arrogant in front of them.
Mu Chen looked at them and smiled. “What a pity.”
Sage Zi Yun lowered his eyelids and asked Mu Chen, “Why pretend to be so confident, when you are about to die?”
Mu Chen smiled. “If that is the case, let me test the difference between a Heavenly Sovereign and someone who is close to the Heavenly Sovereign-level.”
The moment Steve finished his sentence, the Holy Pagoda in his eyes gave out a bright glow. The spiritual energy in his body gushed out like strong currents and injected itself into the Holy Pagoda. The spiritual energy then became purified and and increased in power before it streamed back to the body.
Boom!
The crystalized light suddenly exploded from Mu Chen’s body, causing his robe to flap in the air furiously. The mightiness of his spiritual energy had clearly leveled up! In a short period of time, the spiritual energy fluctuation that had exploded from Mu Chen’s body had surpassed some of the top-notch Complete Earthly Sovereigns!
Various powerhouses were shocked when they saw this. They could barely believe that Mu Chen, who was only a half-step Complete Earthly Sovereign, had exploded spiritual energy that was mightier than the top-notch Complete Earthly Sovereigns’! That kind of Crystal Spiritual Energy was bizarre and extraordinary.
While the vast and endless spiritual energy continued to rumble in his body, Mu Chen curled his fingers into a fist and blasted off a punch.
Bang!
A huge Crystal Fist Print charged through the air with intense mightiness. Like a shooting star that was aiming right at Sage Zi Yun, it shot out fast and sharp.
However, Sage Zi Yun simply smirked coldly as he faced the ferocious punch. Not only did he not put up any defense, he hugged his arms before his chest, allowing the punch to hit him!
Boom!
The fist struck hard on his body, while the space around him seemed to vibrate violently. It almost seemed as if it was going to burst.
As the light on the fist dissipated, many gazes narrowed. This was because they saw that Sage Zi Yun’s body had not moved an inch!
The previous ferocious punch did not even shake him at all! The victorious Mu Chen had finally been stopped at this moment!
“Just like an ant…” Sage Zi Yun scoffed at Mu Chen as he wore a ghastly smile.
Radiance flickered in Reverend Thunder’s and the Golden Eagle King’s eyes as they watched the scene and wondered…
Is that fellow putting up an act? His punch could not even shake the defense of Sage Zi Yun!
As everyone looked at him with pity, Mu Chen was a little shocked. He looked at Sage Zi Yun and smiled. “So, this is the secret of getting close to the Heavenly Sovereign.”
Rumor had it that the Heavenly Sovereign could integrate himself with Heaven and Earth in order to form a strong defense. By doing so, most of the energy from any attacks that struck the body could then be distributed to the Heaven and Earth that was integrated within the defense. This was an example of the theory of man, which was an integral part of nature.
Previously, Sage Zi Yun had distributed the force from Mu Chen’s punch into the area around him, so his own body only needed to endure the remaining impact. Hence, he was able to take Mu Chen’s direct blow.
Previously, Mu Chen had never exchanged blows with powerhouses who were close to becoming Heavenly Sovereigns. Hence, he was testing waters at the moment.
“You have sharp eyes. But, it’s unfortunately too late.” Sage Zi Yun was looking at Mu Chen, his purple pupils filled with killing intent.
Mu Chen shook his head and smiled. “Wait till you become a Heavenly Sovereign and integrate with nature completely. As for now… Your fake integration is not as formidable as you think.”
“You ignorant fool! You are trying to act tough!” Sage Zi Yun said coldly.
However, Mu Chen did not even bother to reply. Instead, he formed a seal with one hand, while a violet radiance exploded behind him.
Immediately, a vast light shadow was created. He had circulated the Immortal Golden Body!
Weng!
Violet runes surfaced and detached themselves from the body. They then circulated around the body like a huge dragon.
“Immortal God Rune, Immortal Golden Bow!” Mu Chen yelled as he stretched out his palm.
At that moment, hundreds of Immortal God Runes swept towards his hands and gathered madly on them. Within a short while, the violet radiance transformed into a huge golden bow.
As Mu Chen pulled back the huge golden bow, he looked at Sage Zi Yun with a nonchalant expression. A violet radiance gathered on the bow and transformed into a golden arrow, which was about a foot in length. The body of the arrow had profound runes running all over it.
At the same time, Mu Chen swung his robe. Suddenly, a pudding-like golden liquid flew out, wrapping itself around the golden arrow.
The golden liquid quickly hardened on it, while the glow on the golden arrow slowly diminished. The arrow then turned into an ordinary arrow and was no longer dazzling.
The golden pudding-like liquid was called the Gold Spirit Breaker Serum. This was the special item that he exchanged his Demons-slayed points for in the Great Thousand House.
As Mu Chen pointed the golden arrow tip at Sage Zi Yun, he pulled back the bow tighter and said softly, “Try to stand there again this time…”
Weng!
As he let go, the bowstring vibrated and a golden light shot out. The arrow soared through the air.
Sage Zi Yun narrowed his eyes the moment the golden light was fired off, as he could sense an indescribable sharp aura coming from it. His skin prickled because of it.
Horror rose from his heart at that moment. The mightiness of this bow was beyond daunting! Given his current integration level with Mother Nature, it was impossible for him to take the blow completely.
“This fellow has some capabilities indeed.” Sage Zi Yun murmured with a darkened expression.
The golden light continued to approach, its image’s reflection enlarging in his eyes. He dared not belittle it anymore.
So, with a deep breath and a stomp of his foot, a gigantic purple shadow appeared behind him amid purple rays. Apparently, this was the Sovereign Celestial Body that he had cultivated!
“Purple Emperor Star Picking Finger!” Sage Zi Yun let out a low exclamation, and with a change of his seal, he curled his fingers and pointed to the air.
The gigantic purple figure also pointed its fingers out at this moment, while purple rays surrounded it before transforming into a purple starry sky. As the fingers were pointing outward, to body seemed like it was trying to pick the stars from the starry sky.
Sage Zi Yun’s actions triggered uncountable gasping breaths from the onlookers. Everyone knew that the Purple Emperor Star Picking Finger was one of his deadliest means. His displaying it now revealed that the offense that Mu Chen had just launched had caused Sage Zi Yun to feel threatened.
Shoo!
As the golden light flit across the sky, everyone held their breaths and had wide eyes. At that moment, they watched as the golden light collided hard with the gigantic purple finger!
