The soldiers stood uniformly and quietly behind Mu Chen like statues. Amid the silence, a daunting fluctuation gathered, then flowed over their heads.
Countless experts and entire forces stared in horror at the army, which had suddenly emerged from out of nowhere. They felt a vague oppression coming from this army, which seemed to be more powerful than any of the God Grade Heavenly Sovereigns. This army was clearly no ordinary army!
Many people, including the Ghost Emperor, narrowed their eyes the moment they saw the quiet army. They immediately felt threatened by this army.
“I can’t believe that this lad actually kept such an impressive trump card! It’s no wonder that he is so confident!” the Ghost Emperor exclaimed.
However, he knew that the five God Grade Heavenly Sovereigns were fearless, and no matter what means Mu Chen possessed, the line-up of these five powerhouses could not be underestimated.
In the face of such power, even someone like Huang Xuanzhi must tread lightly. For this reason, they had no doubts that the five God Grade Sovereigns were strong enough to deal with a Spiritual Grade Sovereign at the middle stage.
“The Master of the Mu Estate indeed possesses many means. But, it would be wise for you to rethink your course of action. Don’t get yourself hurt just because of your pride,” the Ghost Emperor said in a cold and threatening voice.
Upon hearing that, Mu Chen gave him a faint smile and promptly ignored his advice. He then tilted his head slightly and looked at the burly figure standing in front of the troop. The figure was Jiang Long, the commander of the Mystery Dragon Army.
Sensing Mu Chen’s gaze, Jiang Long cupped his fist and spoke to him respectfully, “I didn’t expect for you to become a Heavenly Sovereign so soon since we last met.”
His current attitude towards Mu Chen was much more politer than it had been at that time. Back then, Mu Chen was only a Complete Earthly Sovereign, but now, he had made it to the Heavenly Sovereign level by overcoming many obstacles and difficulties. To a certain extent, Mu Chen could be considered on par with their previous master.
Mu Chen smiled and said with a warm voice, “Commander Jiang Long, get ready for battle. The Mystery Dragon Army has laid low for so many years. Now, it is time for you to make a name for yourself.”
The Mystery Dragon Army had yet to realize its full potential, but since Mu Chen had become a Heavenly Sovereign, he was confident that he could at least restore the army to its former glory days.
Upon hearing Mu Chen’s remarks, a tinge of excitement surfaced on Jiang Long’s face. The troops also quivered slightly, while all of the soldiers’ eyes were filled with passion.
They were thinking of the past, when they were led by their previous commander to kill all of the demons. Although the exact number of Demon Emperors who had perished by its soldiers’ swords remained unknown, the army’s mightiness was undeniable.
Yet, the army could only bring a small amount of strength to the table, as it had only recently been awakened from a long sleep. Moreover, Mu Chen had been rather weak in the past, and the Mystery Dragon Army was feeling suppressed since they had killed so many Demon Emperors before. Fortunately, Mu Chen had finally met the criteria that would enable him to control them completely.
“Raise the Fighting Spirit!” Jiang Long moaned in a low voice.
The next moment, ten thousand troops bellowed from behind him. Their unified battle cry sounded like a dragon’s roar.
Immediately, a vast fighting spirit emerged, then formed an immense sea of fighting spirit that hovered above the Mystery Demon Army. The sea of fighting spirit rolled and tumbled forth, shaking the entire space.
As Mu Chen darted out and appeared amid the Fighting Spirit Ocean, he activated his sensor. As he did so, he could hear swishing sounds coming from the Fighting Spirit Ocean. This indicated that the fighting spirit had cultivated to a high level of fear-inducing strength.
At the end of the square, the Ghost Emperor and the rest stared at the vast Fighting Spirit Ocean with cold faces. They exchanged glances with each other, while coldness flashed in their eyes. It was clear that Mu Chen was determined to put up a good fight against them.
“Let’s satisfy this arrogant lad by showing him what a true fight is!” Reverend Purple Lightning yelled.
After hearing his words, the rest of the group nodded. The next moment, five daunting spiritual energy fluctuations soared into the sky and transformed into five radiant gem pillars. These pillars then tore through the air at a rapid speed, charging fiercely towards the Fighting Spirit Ocean.
All five of them were veterans. As such, they knew that once the Fighting Spirit Ocean was destroyed, the army would crumble, without them even having to attack it!
The results were earth-shaking as five God Grade Heavenly Sovereigns struck together at the same time. Most of the experts around the White Jade Square were experiencing numbness in their heads. They knew that, if such an intense and high scale of assault was to hit the city, the entire Tianluo City would be leveled to a mere plain.
Mu Chen lifted his chin and looked indifferently at the five incoming light pillars that shone like gems. He then calmly stretched out his finger and flicked it once.
Boom!
The vast Fighting Spirit Ocean tumbled fiercely, while a tidal wave rose up to a thousand feet. It then blasted into dazzling lights as Mu Chen struck out his palm. Every beam of light was transformed by a single drop of fighting spirit, and upon careful examination, the beams of light even contained roaring micro dragon figures!
Boom!
In the next moment, countless fighting spiritual spotlights charged forward and collided with the five gem-like light pillars. Immediately, the light exploded, but the spotlights continued to beam in.
Under the constant deluge of the rainstorm, the five gem-like pillars were exhausted and eventually burst into a sky of stardust. As they watched the gorgeous showers of light in the sky, most of the experts were deeply impressed by the scene before them. But, what shocked them the most was their ability to fend off the assault that had just been launched by the five God Grade Heavenly Sovereigns!
Although he knew that they were just testing the waters at the moment, Mu Chen had an equally chilly expression on his face. Clearly, he was not scared of the five God Grade Heavenly Sovereigns.
“The Master of the the Mu Estate has indeed lived up to his name. It is no wonder that he is famous in the Great Thousand World…” an expert exclaimed.
Many of the experts were whispering among themselve in secret. After all, Mu Chen’s combat power was unexpectedly quite daunting. If he had been given more cultivation time and had been able to reach the God Grade level, he might really have become an invincible existence, one just below the Divine Grade Sovereign level!
In light of this, it was no wonder that the Ghost Emperor and the rest could not wait to deal with Mu Chen at this time. They knew for a fact that if they missed this chance, they might not have the courage to go against Mu Chen the next time he attacked.
Whisperings continued to swirl around the square, while the eyes of the God Grade Heavenly Sovereigns grew even colder. Without further ado, they gathered a vast amount of spiritual light behind them, while five giant figures emerged from their backs. They had called out their Sovereign Celestial Appearances!
After their previous explorations, they knew the full extent of Mu Chen’s mightiness. As such, they already knew that their usual techniques would not win them a victory at all. As such, they decided to go all-out, calling upon their Sovereign Celestial Appearances.
The five giant figures stood tall in between Heaven and Earth. As they breathed, their spiritual energy, which looked like a storm, brought a daunting sense of suppression.
As Mu Chen looked at the five giant figures, he squinted his eyes. He then formed several seals with both of his hands As the vast Fighting Spirit Ocean rolled and tumbled, a loud roar of a dragon echoed through the air.
At that moment, many people witnessed a colossal figure, crouching in the Fighting Spirit Ocean. Eventually, the figure stormed out of it, allowing the onlookers to get a good look at it.
It was a huge dragon, which had scales that gleamed with a dazzling brilliance. Battle runes were engraved on each and every one of those scales. The minute the dragon appeared, a fearsome fluctuation swept out into the world.
This was the Spirit of Fighting Intent! The current Spirit of Fighting Intent of the Mystery Dragon Army was undoubtedly more refined and alive than it had been before.
As Mu Chen could clearly sense the fluctuation that this huge Fighting Spirit Dragon contained, a look of immense satisfaction flashed across his face. The Mystery Dragon Army, even in its prime time, could barely match up with the God Grade Sovereigns, and they were just a level below the Divine Grade Sovereigns! Hence, not many people could stand up against them!
Currently, the Mystery Dragon Army had around 15,000 troops, but had only activated 10,000 of its soldiers. Yet, the Fighting Spirit Dragon’s cultivation had already reached the peak level of a God Grade Sovereign!
Boom!
When the Fighting Spirit Dragon was formed, the Ghost Emperor and the rest did not hesitate to launch another vicious attack. The Five Sovereign Celestial Appearances swung their massive fists as they blasted off into the air with a boundless might. Their fists penetrated the wind and swung mercilessly at the Fighting Spirit Dragon.
At their levels, the simple fists that each of the Sovereign Celestial Appearances swung were all powered by a massive amount of spiritual energy. As such, a single fist could completely blow the Sovereign Celestial Appearance off of a Spiritual Grade Heavenly Sovereign!
As the Chinese saying says, “A man with brute force can subdue 10 masters in martial arts.” Such was a similar case here.
As the five giant figures approached with the wind, Mu Chen remained calm. Thanks to his mind control, the Fighting Spirit Dragon roared into the sky, and as it wagged its tail, it darted out to face the incoming enemy.
Boom!
At that moment, as the dragon stretched out its massive claws, their massive girth seemed to even conceal the sun. Then, as the dragon collided with the Ancestor Danyang’s Sovereign Celestial Appearances, a loud thud was heard, while a portion of empty space seemed to collapse at the same time. What shocked the people the most was Ancestor Danyang, who was thrown down by the dragon claws!
“Darn!” Ancestor Danyang struggled to stand on the shoulder of his Sovereign Celestial Appearance, and with a darkened expression, he bellowed, “Let’s do this together!”
After hearing his cry, the Five Sovereign Celestial Appearances rose up and surrounded the Fighting Spirit Dragon in the sky. Then, rounds of daunting assaults swept out continuously in an attempt to tear the latter apart.
However, the dragon was not afraid of being surrounded, but simply continued to swing its tail and stretch out its claws. Every one of its blows successfully suppressed all of the Sovereign Celestial Appearances, except for the Ghost Emperor’s, as he was the only who could still slightly defend himself against the ceaseless barrage.
The mightiness of the Fighting Spirit Dragon was registered as being in the middle-stage of the Divine Grade level. Apart from the Ghost Emperor, the rest of them were only at the beginning stage of the Divine Grade. Hence, they were no match for the dragon.
Boom!
The war went reached its climax as the five huge figures gave off a dazzling light. They looked like five scorching suns as the spiritual energy rainstorm exploded. It was daunting and full of destructive power!
Everyone was shocked when they saw that the Fighting Spirit Dragon did not show any signs of exhaustion whatsoever. Instead, it seemed to be retaliating more fiercely with every passing second, its fearsome fighting spirit breaking the empty space and shoving the five Sovereign Celestial Appearances backward continuously.
Many of the experts around the square broke into a cold sweat. In the past, they knew the Master of the Mu Estate was formidable, as he his reputation was widely known reputation. But, after witnessing how he had just confronted the five God Grade Sovereigns all by himself and still managed to have the advantage, they realized the true mightiness of this young estate master.
Currently, the Ghost Emperor had a cold and creepy expression on his face as he stood on the dark grey giant’s shoulder. He looked at the Fighting Spirit Dragon, which was still going strong, even though it was surrounded by all five of them. He had never expected that Mu Chen would not only possess such a strong combat power of his own, but the he would also be as formidable as a War Troop Dispatcher!
“If this carries on, we won’t be able to finish him off!” said the Ghost Emperor, while a dark radiance flickered in his eyes and a tinge of coldness flashed across his face.
Immediately, he curled his fingers into a fist, while a greyish-white plate that was made of bone appeared in his hand. “So… I need you to try this…”
