Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
Only Mu Chen’s voice was heard in the area. Everyone else was quiet. Apparently, they were shocked that Mu Chen had repressed the elders of the Xuan lineage and the Mo lineage. It had never occurred to them that a Spiritual Grade Heavenly Sovereign could force the Budur Ancient Clan into such dire straits. Mu Chen’s name would be well-known in the Great Thousand World after this day…
The people started to look in Budur Xuan’s direction, and they saw light glittering in the glazed bowl. The lightning, darkness, and flames continued to shimmer and exude powerful forces. Budur Xuan sat inside the glazed bowl with a cold, dark expression on his face. He stared grimly at Mu Chen and exuded an oppressive force that caused fear in the onlookers. Even if a Divine Heavenly Sovereign had simply sat down and done nothing, the oppression that he exuded would be enough to cause an ordinary Heavenly Sovereign to feel oppressed.
“It never occurred to me that you would be able to do this, as you are just a Spiritual Grade Heavenly Sovereign. You have not let Qing Yanjing down,” Budur Xuan said in his deep voice. “However, I have told you before, rules cannot be bent. As long as I remain First Elder of our Budur Ancient Clan, I will not release your mother! As for you, you shall remain a perpetrator in our clan!”
A terrifying look flashed in Budur Xuan’s eyes, and he slowly stood up. He was like a towering mountain that filled the area with a horrifying aura. “I have not wanted to make things difficult for you, since you are Qing Yanjing’s son. However, how dare you create havoc in our clan? This is unpardonable!”
Boom! Boom!
When Budur Xuan ended his statement, the wind and the clouds surged. There were thunderous sounds as though the world was about to come to an end. The anger of a Divine Heavenly Sovereign was enough to destroy the world.
When the Heavenly Sovereigns felt the oppression coming down on them, they looked grave and were filled with fear and respect. The Divine Heavenly Sovereign level was the highest level in the Great Thousand World. Apparently, once a Divine Heavenly Sovereign displayed his extraordinary power, it would take the area by storm.
This time around, even Yao Chen and Lin Diao turned grave. Budur Xuan was not as powerful as Xiao Yan and Lin Dong, but he was, after all, a Divine Heavenly Sovereign, and they could not take him lightly.
Buzz!
Suddenly, the glazed bowl shook, and the lightning, flames, and ice whizzed out and turned into eight huge dragons. They lingered above the glazed bowl and roared at Budur Xuan.
“He is going to strike!” Yao Chen and Lin Diao focused their minds and activated their spiritual energy toward the glazed bowl.
“Ha. If Martial Ancestor was here, I may not be able to escape. However, the two of you are only at the later stage of the God Grade Heavenly Sovereign level. Do you think that you are able to bring out the power of this Divine Grade Rare Divine Artifact?”
Budur Xuan’s laughter was heard from inside the glazed bowl. His robe fluttered, and he moved his hands around as though he were holding a circle. Vast spiritual light burst out from his palms, and the flow was endless.
Boom!
In the next instant, endless spiritual light spurted out from Budur Xuan’s palms and turned into a huge black and white halo. As the black and white halo twisted around, it exuded a destructive force. Budur Xuan shouted, and the black and white halo shot up into the sky and headed straight toward the glazed bowl, hitting it.
Roar!
The eight dragons formed by the flames, ice, and lightning above the glazed bowl seemed to feel threatened, and they opened their mouths. Eight different spiritual energy light beams shot out and hit the black and white halo, causing space warps to form.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
When the two parties came into contact with each other, the area shook, and the space collapsed continuously. It seemed to form a black hole whirlpool. As the towering mountain shook continuously due to the shockwaves, large rocks started to roll down. No matter how the eight large dragons attacked the black and white halo, once the attacks came into contact with it, they would be smashed.
“Get up!” Budur Xuan shouted, and the black and white halo turned into a black and white light beam and shot up into the sky. It then hit hard against the glazed bowl.
Bang!
A loud sound burst out. Some of the less powerful people in the surrounding mountains spurted out a mouthful of blood, and they laid weakly on the ground. Only those who were powerful were able to fend off the soundwaves, and their bodies simply shook.
All eyes were fixed on the glazed bowl. The top powers then saw the glazed bowl shaking violently as though it had been hit by a powerful force. At the sound of a blast, it flew off. After the glazed bowl flew off, Budur Xuan turned into a streamer and shot out.
When Lin Diao and Yao Chen saw it, they furrowed their brows. They then tried to activate the Eight Ancestral Glazed Bowl again. However, they suddenly heard Mu Chen’s voice. “Elders, please do not do this. Let me handle the rest of the matter.”
Judging from the current situation, even if Lin Diao and Yao Chen had used the glazed bowl’s power to contend with Budur Xuan, they would not have been able to defeat him. If they pressed on with it, they might be injured, and Mu Chen did not want this to happen.
Yao Chen and Lin Diao looked at each other when they heard Mu Chen’s voice. They knew what Mu Chen was thinking, and after pondering for a while, they nodded. “My friend, if you cannot handle the situation, stop there. If someone wants to oppress you with his power, my disciple may wish to come and take a look,” Yao Chen said.
“Likewise for the Martial Border,” Lin Diao said coldly.
After Yao Chen and Lin Diao had made the statements, all the top forces were stunned and squinted, including those from the Budur Ancient Clan. If the Flame Emperor and Martial Ancestor were enraged and made their way to the Budur Ancient Clan, the clan members would not be able to take the pressure.
Budur Xuan remained expressionless, and there was only a slight fluctuation in his eyes. However, he quickly regained his composure. He knew that Yao Chen and Lin Diao were warning him, but given his stubborn character, he was not afraid of them. On the contrary, he smiled coldly and said, “I have long heard of the Flame Emperor and Martial Ancestor. However, today my clan is punishing this perpetrator, and no one is allowed to interfere in this matter!”
Having said that, he looked sharply at Mu Chen and said, “Do you think that you are capable of contending with me after taking control of our Fortify Clan Grand Array? You are too naïve if this is what you have in mind!”
However, Mu Chen’s expression was cold, and he ignored Budur Xuan. He formed a seal, and the towering array rotated. Vast spiritual light streamers shot down and blasted toward Budur Xuan.
“You will not fear until you face reality. Let me grant you your wish then!” Budur Xuan was enraged. He moved his hands, and another black and white halo appeared. It shot up into the sky, and no matter how the spiritual light streamers attacked it, they were all smashed by its force.
When Mu Chen saw it, he squinted. This Divine Heavenly Sovereign was indeed overbearing. His attacks had put Xuan Guang and Mo Tong in a sorry state, but apparently, they were useless on Budur Xuan.
Swoosh!
The black and white halo smashed the spiritual energy streamers along the way and shot toward Mu Chen at lightning speed. As it rotated, it smashed everything up.
Light glittered in Mu Chen’s eyes. He was not rash and had no intention of taking on the attacks from the black and white halo. He shot up into the sky and hid himself in the array. After he had activated the array, the spiritual energy streamers whizzed down and blasted toward the black and white halo.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The sounds of thunder resounded continually in the area, and the horrifying shockwaves flattened the mountains that were beneath… Judging from the situation, the attacks from the Fortify Clan Grand Array had started to weaken as the black and white halo moved toward it.
Some of the top powers said as they sympathized with Mu Chen, “Mu Chen is, after all, a Spiritual Grade Heavenly Sovereign. Although he has the help of the Fortify Clan Grand Array, he is unable to contend with Budur Xuan.”
“The Fortify Clan Grand Array is indeed powerful, but Mu Chen is unable to bring its full power out. Otherwise, Budur Xuan would be no match for him.”
“From the look of it, Mu Chen will not be able to press on for long…”
“…”
Many of the top powers whispered among themselves as they saw that Mu Chen would soon be defeated. While the people were whispering among themselves, Mu Chen looked calm as he hid himself in the array. Light glittered in his eyes, and he gently shut them.
From the beginning, he knew that he was no match for Budur Xuan, even though he had control over the Fortify Clan Grand Array. After all, Budur Xuan was a Divine Heavenly Sovereign, and Mu Chen would not be able to deal with him based on external power. He had taken control over the array not to contend with Budur Xuan, but because he had his own reasons for doing so.
Hoof.
Mu Chen let out a breath. He then expanded the array and followed it with his senses. The array covered the entire Budur Territory, and it could bring him to any corner of it. He had a familiar feeling of warmth in certain areas of the array, and he knew that these places had been set up by his mother. He knew that as long as he followed these paths, he would be able to reach his destination.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Mu Chen became oblivious to whatever attacks were taking place outside the array. He continued to feel every corner of the Budur Ancient Clan, and finally, he sensed a familiar fluctuation. His senses went past a space, and he saw an ancient tower. He had seen the tower before. Back when he had successfully cultivated the Holy Pagoda, he had been there.
As Mu Chen’s senses followed the Fortify Clan Grand Array to the tower, he did not encounter any obstructions. He entered effortlessly, and when he entered the ancient tower, he felt attracted to one particular spot. Mu Chen’s body suddenly trembled, as he felt a strong sense of kinship coming from it.
His senses seemed to mutter in a shivering voice, “Mother… I am here to bring you home.”
A gentle lady in a white dress was sitting in one of the spots. She suddenly lifted up her head to look at a certain spot in the void, and tears started to flow down her cheeks. She gently wiped away the tears and smiled at the void. The gentle aura started to disappear from her, and it was replaced by a cold aura. It was the desire to protect her son.
Her petite body shivered, and then it started to disappear. At the same time, a strong voice resounded in the void, “My son, from now on, no one can oppress you…”
