The Great Ruler

Mu Chen walked up to the square, ignoring the stares of the people. He simply smiled at Bai Ming and said, “We are also interested in the Inherited Blood Essence of the Undying Bird.”

Bai Ming fanned his icy blue feather fan and cold waves swirled out. He did not look at Mu Chen, but simply nodded and said, “A one-man show is indeed boring. I am happy to have a clown join in the fun.”

He curled up his lips and mocked Mu Chen. His words were harsh and humiliating.

It was apparent that he had never taken Mu Chen seriously.

Nine Nether and Ink Ring were enraged when they heard what Bai Ming had said. They did not say a word, but were certainly worried about Mu Chen. Although Mu Chen had advanced to become a Grade Seven Sovereign, they were not confident that he would be able to defeat Bai Ming.

Mu Chen remained calm and said, “We will soon know who the clown is!”

Bai Ming curled up his lips even more. He could not be bothered to say more to Mu Chen, so he shut his eyes and continued to fan himself. As he shut his eyes, everyone could feel a cold killing intent gathering around his body.

They could imagine that, once Bai Ming struck, he would use the fastest method to trample Mu Chen like a dead dog. He would then see if Mu Chen could keep his cool!

When Bai Ming shut his eyes, Bai Bin was smiling. He looked viciously at Mu Chen, wondering why Mu Chen was so silly to challenge Bai Ming.

Bai Ming might show due respect to the Nine Netherbird Clan by letting Mu Chen off, should he would beg for forgiveness and hand over the Spirit of the Real Phoenix to him. However, it to think of this option was useless now. This foolish guy had enraged already Bai Ming, so Bai Bin anticipated that Mu Chen would die right there on the altar!

Chi Hongwu raised her brows and shook her head. She also thought that Mu Chen was foolish to challenge Bai Ming. However, it was too late to say anything. Hopefully, Bai Ming might let Mu Chen off, especially if he got what he wanted.

The rest of the groups were not optimistic about it either. They looked at Mu Chen as though he was a dying man…

“Ha, this guy has guts. If he can survive Bai Ming’s attack, I don’t mind saving him.” Lu Hou, the skinny team leader from the Heaven Piercing Ape Clan, laughed as he watched.

He was disgusted by Bai Ming’s haughtiness, and was definitely not afraid of Bai Ming, even though he was powerful. However, from his tone, one could tell that he did not think that Mu Chen would be able to defeat Bai Ming.

After this, Lu Hou did not say another word. Instead, he appeared on the square that led to the Ancient Desolated Beast stone carving, then hit the ground with the stone rod, causing the earth to quake.

“The Divine Crane Clan’s shaggy bird… Do you wish to have the Inherited Blood of the Ancient Desolated Beast? if so, you need to defeat me first!” Lu Hou laughed. “I have been wanting to challenge your Heaven Piercing Divine Power!”

The team leader of the Divine Crane Clan laughed when he heard what Lu Hou had said. He tapped on his toes and appeared immediately in front of Lu Hou. He was holding a long red sword that looked like the beak of the crane, and there was a strange scent that was emitting from it that contained poison.

As the Heaven Piercing Ape Clan and the Divine Crane Clan confronted each other, Zong Qingfeng from the Giant Bird Clan smiled at Kong Ling and said, “Kong Ling Fairy, the winner shall get the Inherited Blood Essence of the Myriad Spiritual Bird. Do you agree on that?”

“Of course,” Kong Ling said flatly.

When the two of them looked at each other, there seemed to be sparks. Both of them were the cream of the crops among the younger generation and were equally proud. Since they had met, they would want to challenge each other to see who was more powerful.

Swoosh!

They stepped out and appeared on another square. As they confronted each other, an intense and majestic spiritual energy swirled out.

The three pairs of people confronted each other on the three squares that led to the three stone carvings. The aura was so majestic, as the spiritual energy swirled out, everyone knew that a great battle was about to take place.

However, the great battle excluded the fight between Mu Chen and Bai Ming, as they did not expect Mu Chen to be able to take on Bai Ming. At that moment, Bai Ming slowly opened his eyes. He was standing on the square that led to the stone carving of the Undying Bird.

He looked emotionlessly at Mu Chen and did not say a word. Majestic icy blue cold waves swirled out from his body, then turned into a tornado and covered him up.

Mu Chen turned grave after feeling the intensity of Bai Ming’s aura. Although Bai Ming was detestable, Mu Chen had to admit that he was also very powerful. As the genius of the Ice Phoenix Clan, he had the right to be proud.

“I will turn you into ice and make the cemetery your forever home…” Bai Ming said bitterly.

In the next instant, he stamped his feet and visible cold waves burst out, lowering the temperature in the entire area. Thick layers of ice started to spread on the ground of the square, then moved toward Mu Chen like a wave.

Buzz!

Bright golden light burst out from Mu Chen’s body, causing the Spirits of the Real Dragon and Real Phoenix on his right arm to come alive. He then threw out a punch.

Boom!

The punch smashed the space in front of him, and an indescribable horrifying power swirled out, hitting hard upon the icy cold waves.

Dong!

When the two powerful blows hit each other, the entire square shook. Mu Chen moved back quickly, leaving deep footprints on the ground. On the eighth footprint, a cold light burst out from Mu Chen’s dark eyes, as he punched hard on the icy cold waves again.

As Mu Chen punched out, visible cracks started to spread out quickly on the layers of cold waves. The cold waves were so powerful, they could drown a top power at Peak of Grade Seven Sovereign level!

When the people outside the square saw this scene, they froze in shock. They could tell that even a Grade Seven Sovereign would be unable to take the power of such a punch.

As ice shavings filled the sky, a golden light surged on Mu Chen’s body. It was apparent that the Dragon-Phoenix Body had been fully activated and that every move he made contained explosive power.

“Ha, what a powerful brute-force…” Bai Ming appeared in the sky and looked at the ice shavings that had been smashed by Mu Chen and sneered. “You can’t destroy my ice so easily.”

Having said that, he waved his sleeve, causing the ice shavings to swirl out like arrows, whizzing straight toward Mu Chen. Seeing them approaching, Mu Chen formed a seal with his palms, which caused the Spirits of the Real Dragon and Real Phoenix to leave his body.

They then turned into shields and covered his body completely. Although the ice shavings were sharp, they were unable to break through this strong defense.

When Bai Ming saw this, his eyes grew even colder. He had not expected Mu Chen to have such powerful physical strength. The blow that he had thrown out earlier could cause a Peak at Grade Seven Sovereign to retreat in defeat. However, Mu Chen had managed to counter it.

This guy indeed has some impressive capabilities. However, he must be silly to think that this is all it takes to conquer me!

Bai Ming sneered, while he formed a seal with one hand. His eyes were extremely cold.

Well, I shall play along with you.

Boom!

A horrifying spiritual energy exploded, as though there was a volcano eruption. The sky suddenly turned cold and crushed ice shards started to gather together.

Bai Ming stood high in the sky and looked down at Mu Chen with a cold smile. The overbearing spiritual energy oppression caused the top powers to turn pale, as it had surpassed a Grade Seven Sovereign. This was the power of a Grade Eight Sovereign!

Majestic spiritual energy raged across the horizon like a windstorm. As Bai Ming clenched his fists, a cold spiritual energy whizzed out and turned into a huge iceberg instantly.

The shape of the iceberg was like an Ice Phoenix spreading its wings. Then, mysterious bright runes covered the Ice Phoenix, constantly absorbing all of the spiritual energy in the whole area.

When the top powers saw the Ice Phoenix Iceberg, they were afraid. They knew that Bai Ming was out to kill Mu Chen, as he had thoroughly displayed his Grade Eight Sovereign power. Mu Chen surely would not be able to get out alive this time.

Bai Ming looked indifferent, like a god looking down from the heavens. He flipped his palm over and the Ice Phoenix Iceberg suddenly dropped, directing itself toward Mu Chen like a meteorite…
