The Great Ruler

Boom! Boom!

As the iceberg came down, cold waves swirled out and caused the space to turn into crystal ice. From far, they looked beautiful. However, they also looked dangerous. As the iceberg came nearer to Mu Chen, he took a deep breath and formed a seal with one hand.

Buzz!

Powerful spiritual energy burst out from Mu Chen’s body like a torrent, and it was many times more powerful than before.

“He has advanced to Grade Seven Sovereign!” The top powers were shocked when they noticed the powerful spiritual energy around Mu Chen. When they first met Mu Chen outside the Divine Cemetery, he was still at the Peak of Grade Six Sovereign. They had not expected him to have a breakthrough within such a short span of time.

Although he had a breakthrough, he was only a Grade Seven Sovereign, but Bai Ming was a genuine Grade Eight Sovereign!

Majestic spiritual energy surged around Mu Chen, and his eyes glittered. He changed his seal again, and golden light burst out from his body as the cries of a dragon and phoenix resounded. A powerful oppression spread out indistinctly.

The Spirits of the Real Dragon and Real Phoenix on Mu Chen’s arms looked up to the sky and cried out. Golden light entered Mu Chen’s flesh, and golden dragon scales and phoenix wings grew on his arms. They formed Dragon-Phoenix arm protection and covered his arms up. He had merged his Grade Seven Sovereign cultivation and physical strength together.

Boom!

Mu Chen’s body exuded visible spiritual energy ripples. The fluctuations caused many top powers to turn pale, as they could sense that he was a danger to them. Even the top powers who were at the Peak of Grade Seven Sovereign were fearful when they looked at Mu Chen.

This guy indeed has some capabilities, which explains why he dares to challenge Bai Ming! The top powers turned grave. They no longer mocked Mu Chen, as he had displayed qualities beyond that of an ordinary Grade Seven Sovereign.

Bang!

As they were having such thoughts, Mu Chen had taken half a step backward. He bent his body like a bow with his elbow pulled slightly backward and punched out. The speed of the punch was extremely slow, as though it had been caught in the mud. However, wherever the wind blast of the fist passed, everyone saw space warps and ripples flowing continuously from the fist.

Boom!

Vast spiritual energy swirled out as Mu Chen threw out the punch. It then hit the iceberg. Visible shockwaves burst out suddenly, and cracks started to appear on the square. Mu Chen was crushed an inch down by the iceberg as he stood on the hard slate. From afar, Mu Chen looked like a ferocious tiger that was struggling under the iceberg.

Bai Ming, who was in the sky, sneered when he saw it. He moved and appeared immediately on top of the iceberg. He wanted to stamp his feet and bury Mu Chen completely under the square. However, just as he was about to stomp on the iceberg, it suddenly shook.

Roar!

The cries of a dragon and phoenix sounded under the iceberg, and a large Dragon-Phoenix beam shot up. It tore the iceberg effortlessly apart and broke through the mountain. Overbearing golden light pierced through Bai Ming’s feet. Bai Ming turned pale and disappeared into thin air. An afterimage appeared, allowing the golden light to pierce through it.

Bang!

Golden light shot up like a pillar and pierced toward the heavens. The iceberg collapsed instantly as the golden light shined on it. It exploded and turned into ice shavings before disappearing.

The countenances of the groups changed when they saw it. They had thought that it would be a one-sided fight, but it had turned out otherwise.

As the cold air dissipated, everyone saw Mu Chen slowly pulling his legs out of the deep ground. He then looked up expressionlessly at the sky.

Bai Ming appeared again and remained expressionless. However, it was apparent that he was shocked by Mu Chen’s power. Although Mu Chen only had the strength of a Grade Seven Sovereign, given his spiritual energy and strong physique, his combat force had way surpassed the level of a Grade Seven Sovereign.

No wonder Mu Chen dared to challenge Bai Ming. He was indeed powerful.

Boom!

Mu Chen, who was below Bai Ming, suddenly stomped his feet and turned into a shadow. He shot up into the sky toward Bai Ming. There was an uproar in the area. How dare Mu Chen take the lead to launch a counterattack?

Swoosh!

Mu Chen suddenly appeared above Bai Ming and formed a seal with his hands. Majestic spiritual energy burst out and formed space warps behind him. The Sovereign Sea loomed around him, and golden light burst out to form a Great Solar Celestial Body. It was huge, like a deity.

Mu Chen was ruthless when he struck. He immediately summoned the Great Solar Undying Body, as he knew that Bai Ming was a tough opponent. He did not wish to waste time and gave it his all.

Golden light covered the Great Solar Undying Body, and it looked mysterious. Mu Chen appeared on top of it and changed the seal. Five Golden Blazing Suns rose from the Great Solar Undying Body and exploded.

“Five Suns Spear!”

Golden torrents gathered on the palms of the Great Solar Undying Body to form a huge golden spear. Five Blazing Suns rotated around the golden spear, and they looked powerful. Given Mu Chen’s current strength, he could easily display such tricks at any time.

Swoosh!

The air exploded as the golden spear shot out. It turned into a golden beam and shot toward Bai Ming. The horrifying fluctuations were like meteorites, carrying with them a destructive force.

“Ha!” As the golden spear swirled out, Bai Ming’s face darkened when he noticed the powerful force. He snorted and formed a seal with his hands. Mysterious runes appeared on his palms, and he pressed them down on the space that was before him.

“Ice Phoenix Feather!”

Buzz!

Majestic spiritual light gathered together to form a large, icy blue feather. As the feather whizzed out, it carried with it chilled air and collided with the golden spear.

Bang!

Violent shockwaves raged out, and the golden spear and icy feather exploded at the same time.

Swoosh! Swoosh!

Suddenly, air-rending sounds resounded, and Bai Ming lifted up his head. He was taken aback. More than ten streams of golden torrents formed by the golden spear were in front of him. Every stream was as powerful as a martial artist at the Peak of Grade Seven Sovereign.

When Mu Chen had advanced to Grade Seven Sovereign, he had to use all means in order to display the Five Suns Spear. Now, he could do it speedily and effortlessly.

The top powers were fearful when they saw his powerful attack.

“Is that all you have?” Bai Ming looked cold. Cold light surged on his fingertips as he drew seals in the space that was before him. Cold waves swirled out the moment he stopped drawing, and they turned into a thick ice shield. An exquisite phoenix with its wings spread was on the ice shield. It was so sturdy that even a blow from a Grade Eight Sovereign would not be able to pierce through.

Bang! Bang!

The golden spear hit the phoenix ice shield continuously. Although the attacks were forceful, they could only crack the ice shield but not break it.

“If you do not have the strength of a Grade Eight Sovereign, you can forget about breaking my Ice Phoenix Spiritual Shield.” Bai Ming sneered as he stood behind the ice shield.

Buzz!

Golden light burst out the moment he finished talking. Two rays of golden light with two huge golden staffs within them shot toward Bai Ming like meteorites.

That was the Seven Suns Severing Sky Staff!

Previously, Mu Chen had only managed to form one staff using his physical strength. After he had a breakthrough, he could immediately form two staffs and attack at the same time. Even a Grade Eight Sovereign would be wary of the two Severing Sky Staffs.

Boom!

As the golden staffs pierced through the horizon, they hit the Ice Shield. The two objects froze for a while, and horrifying shockwaves swirled out. The Ice Shield that was strong enough to withstand the attacks of a Grade Eight Sovereign exploded!

Crystal ice and golden light raged out, and Bai Ming moved back in a sorry state. His hair was messy, and it was apparent that he had been struck by Mu Chen’s powerful attack.

Many top powers were shocked. No one expected Mu Chen to have the ability to cause Bai Ming to get into such a sorry state.

Bai Bin, who was standing on the altar, looked pale with disbelief. Chi Hongwu turned grave as well. Both of them had not expected Mu Chen, who was so insignificant, to have the ability to contend with Bai Ming.

When Bai Ming finally managed to stabilize himself, he looked sharply at Mu Chen. He could not believe that a Grade Seven Sovereign could defeat him so easily. However, he was an extraordinary person. He suppressed his anger and looked coldly at Mu Chen. As he stretched out his hand, cold light flickered, and an icy blue feather fan appeared.

Even Mu Chen was shocked when Bai Ming held on to the icy blue feather fan. He looked more dangerous now, and it was apparent that his power had enhanced.

“He is finally using the Quasi-Divine Artifact…”
