The Great Ruler

Chapter 628 - Ji Xuan's Final Trump Card

Boom!

The heavens and earth seemed to have trembled at this instant. The might of this fist from Mu Chen, who he had been brewing about for so long, reached a level that even he had not expected himself. This was the perfect fusion of his physique and Spiritual Energy. The two surges of energy complemented one another that it might've been sufficient to slaughter any opponent beneath the cultivation of Sovereign Realm.

Facing this punch from Mu Chen, even Ji Xuan's expression drastically changed with a smear of horror in his eyes.

Boom!

Fine cracks appeared in the space under Mu Chen's fist, looking like glass that had been shattered.

The fist that was flickering with dreadful lightning swiftly expanded before Ji Xuan's eyes. He clenched his teeth as he formed seals with both of his hands. A myriad of divine light burst forth from his Sovereign Sea and swiftly converged before him. In just a few breaths' time, a hundred foot wide divine shield was formed.

"Angel's Divine Shield!"

The divine shield was exceptionally simple and unadorned with a pair of angelic wings unfolding on top of it, giving off a strong feeling from it, as if it could withstand the most substantial impact in this world.

Faced with that close to perfect punch of Mu Chen's, Ji Xuan had also executed his strongest defence.

Boom!

When the divine shield was formed, Mu Chen's graceful punch came and heavily slammed against the shield without the slightest hesitation.

Both sides clashed together, it was like a meteorite crashing onto the ground. In that instant, the heavens and earth seemed to have frozen for a moment, followed by a startling explosion that resounded, resonating in this space. Fluctuation waves that could be seen with the naked-eye swept out. The shock wave swept out a few thousand feet as it flipped the sky and earth.

Lightning and divine light swept out from the point of collision.

Innumerable students had their eyes narrowed as they felt a stinging pain from the intense light. However, they did not shift their eyes as they were fixed onto the collision point.

Such a confrontation could only be considered as earth-shattering.

Boom!

Under the gazes of everyone, the devastating lightning and divine light suddenly exploded and the dreadful impact swept out. After that, everyone blinked their eyes and saw a figure flying down in a miserable state onto the Golden Battle Stage.

Boom!

The Golden Battle Stage crumbled with a few hundred foot hole in it as cracks steadily spreading out. In just a few breaths, the solid Golden Battle Stage had fully collapsed as huge rocks tumbled into the vast hole, burying it.

Hiss.

Many people sucked in cold air, since they were startled by the scene. After all, in the past years of Great Spiritual Academy Tournament, no one had heard of a single exchange that could crumble the particular Battle Stage to such an extent before.

"Who was beaten down?"

But swiftly, everyone directed their attention onto the confrontation, and judging from the current situation, the one that was beaten down was naturally the one in an absolute disadvantage. This might probably be the result of this pinnacle battle.

Up in midair, Spiritual Energy ripples still wreaked havoc that lasted for few minutes, before the lightning and divine light gradually faded away.

Rustle!

Everyone directed their gazes over.

The sky cleared up once again, and a silhouette gradually appeared before everyone.

That silhouette was donned in black lightning armour, except that the majority of the ferocious lightning armour had shattered, pieces of the powerful armour fell.

"It's Mu Chen!"

Many people widened their eyes, although that silhouette was still covered in lightning armour, everyone recognised that familiar appearance with a glance.

Excited cheers rang out in the area that the students of the Northern Heavens Spiritual Academy resided on. Every single student had their faces flushed red from the excitement as they looked at the silhouette in the sky with revere filling their eyes.

"Big Brother Mu Chen won!" Yu Xi was exceptionally excited as she pulled Su Ling'er's arm and spoke excitedly.

"That fellow is indeed formidable." Su Ling'er nodded with a flushed face as well. Her gorgeous pair of eyes was flickering with splendour.

In the corner of the Battle Stage, Luo Li and Wen Qingxuan raised their heads, looking at that figure as well. They felt as if they were relieved from a burden. The former's gaze was filled with joy and pride, it was a mood that wouldn't appear even if she had defeated Ji Xuan by herself. The latter's gaze was a little complicated, it had a little admiration and unyielding stubbornness in it.

Up in the air, when the Deans of the various academies witnessed this scene from high up, although they did not speak, they all had a different expression.

The Five Great Deans maintained silence as they quietly watched, only Dean Tiansheng had his fist uncontrollably clenched in his sleeve. The smile that hung on his face faded by a lot.

Earth-shattering commotions rang out, and the silhouette up in the sky trembled as the lightning armour started to peel off. In the end, Mu Chen's figure reappeared, as expected. His eyes returned back to pitch-black as he lowered his head, looking at his fist. The surface of his fist was bloody as Ji Xuan's last defence was startling powerful. Also, it returned back some of the force. If it weren't for Mu Chen's physique reaching Nona Rune Lightning Physique, just that dreadful counter alone would have shatter his arm into pieces.

He wasn't bothered by the clamours that resounded in the sky and stared at the collapsed Battle Stage. That fist earlier had already heavily injured Ji Xuan, but he could not understand why he felt a little unease in his heart.

The cheers in the sky lasted for a long while, before it died down as everyone shifted their gazes onto the crumbled Golden Battle Stage. If Ji Xuan did not appear, it would mark an end to the Battle of the Champion.

This region finally returned peace.

Mu Chen stood in the air as his gaze lightly flickered and suddenly grasped his hand. The Great Meru Demonic Pillar soared towards the horizon, along with the torrential Baleful Aura and suppressed the collapsed region of the Golden Battle Stage in an intimidating manner.

Boom!

The Battle Stage what was already crumbled shattered once again, the Great Meru Demonic Pillar descended without the slightest leniency and heavily smashed into the hole.

Boom!

Fragments of the Golden Battle Stage were reduced to dust as the crack rapidly expanded.

Mu Chen's decisive and ruthless move made the eyelids of many twitched, he was beating a drowning dog.

However, Mu Chen wasn't bothered by the thoughts of others. After the Great Meru Demonic Pillar suppressed down, his pupils suddenly narrowed, and his expression became exceptionally solemn as well. The dissipating Spiritual Energy fluctuations around him surged forth once again, and lightning flickered on the surface of his body.

Mu Chen's sudden actions of arming himself to the teeth made everyone startled, but they quickly recovered from the shock and looked at the collapsed Golden Battle Stage with fear in their eyes. Could it be that Ji Xuan can still fight?

Boom!

A massive sound came from the crumbled Golden Battle Stage, even the Great Meru Demonic Pillar that stood towering before it suddenly jolted.

Boom! Boom!

The vibrations became increasingly intense, and after that, the Great Meru Demonic Pillar trembled and soared into the horizon as it shot towards Mu Chen.

Mu Chen's gaze grew cold as he tapped his feet and appeared above the Great Meru Demonic Pillar in a flash, stomping his feet as he stabilised the pillar. His pair of black pupils were looking into the deep hole with alert.

Everyone's gaze gathered over, and they held their breaths, their hearts lifted to their throats.

In the bottomless pit, a faint purple light appeared as it started to spread out. After that, everyone witnessed a figure gradually floating up and lightly landed on a huge stone.

When that figure appeared, sounds of inhaling cold air rang out in this region.

Judging from that silhouette, it was naturally Ji Xuan, but the current him was different from before, the surface of his body was flashing with faint purple light, and the surface of his face also had a mysterious purple light rune. Both of his eyes turned dark purple, sharp and cold, as if these eyes were mixed with endless ferocity.

He had a pair of purple hawk wings that were slowly flapping, causing the nearby space to distort along with it as well.

Ji Xuan wore an indifferent expression with his hands folded before his chest as he raised his head, looking at Mu Chen with splendour in his eyes, similar to looking at an ant.

Mu Chen narrowed his eyes as he looked at Ji Xuan, who brought him a little unfamiliar sensation. Compared to the Ji Xuan from before, it was different; furthermore, Mu Chen could feel a mortal danger coming from Ji Xuan that made him feel stinging pain on his skin.

Wen Qingxuan and Luo Li were looking at Ji Xuan, their expressions changed a little as they felt something wasn't right as well.

Up in the sky, the expressions of the Deans involuntarily changed a little as they looked at Ji Xuan in astonishment.

Aside from Dean Tiansheng, the gazes of the Four Great Deans were slightly flickering.

"There's something wrong with this Ji Xuan." Ling Xi looked at Ji Xuan with a heavy expression as she suddenly spoke out.

"Big Sister Ling Xi, what's wrong with that guy? He suddenly feels so terrifying." Sun'er spoke shyly, her senses were exceptionally keen, and thus, she vaguely felt that Ji Xuan had become even more terrifying than before.

Ling Xi did not respond as she stared at Ji Xuan with a cold gaze.

Under the attention of everyone, the corner of Ji Xuan's lips slowly lifted a ruthless smile. After that, he lightly stomped his feet as ripples spread out. Under the shocking gazes, everyone witnessed as the Golden Battle Stage was reduced to dust in an instant.

Liiii!

A sharp ear-piercing hawk cry resonated in this region, and everyone witnessed a thousand foot purple hawk gradually appearing behind Ji Xuan. That creature had a body of a hawk, while the head of a dragon and a terrifying gush of fluctuations swept out from its body as it wreaked havoc between the heavens and earth.

Everyone's eyes were surging with fright as they could feel that the large hawk behind Ji Xuan wasn't an illusion, it had a corporeal form!

What Ji Xuan possessed wasn't the Soul Essence of a Primordial Skydragon Hawk but the real body of it!
