The Great Ruler

Chapter 836 - Spirit of Battle Will

Rumble!

Boundless Nine Nether Battle Will boiled and violently swept like a storm. At Mu Chen's rear, the Battle Will was surging and being pulled in waves, one higher than the other. It became similar to a myriad foot wave that hung horizontally on the horizon.

Undulations became extremely obscure but no one could disregard it. Just a slight feeling of it made the blood of others boil with warring voices echoing in their minds.

Many experts had bewildered expressions on their faces as their gazes changed. After a brief moment, only those experts that were slightly more knowledgeable in Battle Will suddenly thought of something and their faces drastically changed with shock on their eyes as they looked at the surging Nine Nether Battle Will.

"Such fluctuations… could it be?"

Lu Kui's face was pale as he looked at the pitch-black wave in disbelief. From the depths of the wave, the abnormal fluctuations even made his voice turn dry.

"Spirit of Battle Will?!"

When someone exclaimed that term out, everyone in this region couldn't help sucking in a cold breath of air with shock in their eyes. The shock was brought to them from those four words.

Spirit of Battle Will?

That was rumoured to be an insight from comprehending the Battle Will to a high realm. Furthermore, with the Spirit of Battle Will being refined, the power of Battle Will could be completely unleashed.

However, it was extremely hard to refine the Spirit of Battle Will and it was said to be a necessary foothold of becoming a Battle Array Master. From a certain angle, only those that had refined the Spirit of Battle Will could be qualified to become a Battle Array Master.

However, the amount of those that could comprehend that far was few in number. Even Lu Kui only had slight talent in the way of Battle Will, it was still impossible for him to refine the Spirit of Battle Will.

Therefore, when they heard that Mu Chen had actually refined the Spirit of Battle Will, the shock they received couldn't be imagined.

"Impossible! It's not that easy to refine the Spirit of Battle Will! Stop bluffing around!" Lu Kui roared with a ferocious expression. Although the fluctuations were extremely similar to the Spirit of Battle Will, he refused to believe that such a young fellow could achieve something that he could not!

Everyone else inwardly nodded at Lu Kui's roar with flashes of doubt in their eyes. After all, refining the Spirit of Battle Will wasn't something that just anyone could achieve.

A Commander that could control a troop of a few thousand wasn't anything much to the other forces. After all, those that had slight talent in the way of Battle Will could barely achieve it with training. But if it was a Commander that had refined the Spirit of Battle Will, then it would absolutely cause other forces to be moved.

Ordinary Commanders could only exert less than half the power of a troop. Only those that had refined the Spirit of Battle Will could truly unleash the power of a troop, even displaying strength beyond that!

Furthermore, by refining the Spirit of Battle Will, that meant that he possessed the qualifications to become a Battle Array Master. The moment he managed to become a Battle Array Master, even the peak forces in the Northern Region would come poaching. That's because everyone was clear about how terrifying a powerful troop would be under the control of a genuine Battle Array Master.

Furthermore, the fellow before them was just a young man and had displayed such qualifications. So how could their hearts remain calm?

However, Mu Chen maintained a calm expression before those startled gazes and looked at Lu Kui, whose face was without colour, before a ridiculing arc rose on the corner of his lips.

He did not retort, but took a deep breath and his seals abruptly changed.

Rumble! Rumble!

The boiling Nine Nether Battle Will behind him boiled even more as a huge pillar of light burst out. In the pillar of light, everyone could see a pair of black wings that was roughly a hundred feet wide unfolding before them.

Those huge wings gently flapped, causing the pillar of light to shatter and reveal a black Nine Nether Bird that appeared above the Battle Will ocean.

The Nine Nether Bird was smoky-black and did not have an actual form, since it was formed from Battle Will. However, runes could be vaguely seen on its massive body. It was a phenomenon from Battle Will being refined to an extent.

Everyone was dumbfounded as they looked at the black Nine Nether Bird, before the expressions on their faces finally collapsed and shock climbed on them instead. At this moment, they could no longer deceive themselves, since the Nine Nether Bird, which was covered with runes, was indeed a genuine Spirit of Battle Will!

That was a Spirit of Battle Will that belonged to the Nine Nether Troop!

No one expected Mu Chen to actually manage to refine the Nine Nether Troop's Spirit of Battle Will!

Down below, the eyes the warriors of the Nine Nether Troop became extremely heated as they looked at the figure up in the sky in worship. That Nine Nether Bird Spirit of Battle Will was formed from their will, and only Mu Chen possessed the sort of capability to let their will take form. This allowed them, the ordinary warriors, to look at everyone here with pride!

"Victory for the Nine Nether Troop!"

A neat thunderous roar echoed and even caused the land to tremble.

"It's actually the Spirit of Battle Will…"

Up in the sky, even Nine Nether and Lu Wu were shocked at this scene. Nine Nether herself knew that Mu Chen possessed the talent to become a Battle Array Master. However, she never expected Mu Chen to refine the Spirit of Battle Will with this timing!

Compared to Nine Nether's shock, Lu Wu's heart was overturned with waves as he fixed his eyes at Mu Chen with shock filling his eyes. As the Sect Master of the Dragon Serpent Sect, he knew how powerful a Commander that could refine the Spirit of Battle Will was.

"How is this possible?!"

Lu Kui's face turned pale as he witnessed this scene with a dumbstruck look. When the Spirit of Battle Will was refined, he knew that he was doomed to lose this battle.

A troop that possessed a Spirit of Battle Will, and under Mu Chen's control, was not something that he could confront!

The Spirit of Battle Will would allow the Nine Nether Troop's power to reach an extremely shocking height!

Mu Chen looked at Lu Kui, who was blankly at loss, with indifference. His body moved and appeared on the head of the Spirit of Battle Will, before pointing his slender finger at Lu Kui, from afar.

The Nine Nether Bird Battle Will let out a cry that could be sensed even from a thousand miles away, then the boundless Battle Will soared into the horizon.

The wings of the Nine Nether Bird, which were blazing with Battle Will, swept out, like a beam of light that tore through the horizon as it descended. It had penetrated through space and appeared above the Serpent Troop, before slashing down like a heavenly sword.

Even the earth was cracked by it.

Lu Kui's face drastically changed as all the hair on his body stood up. That's because he could sense a fatal danger. Immediately, he unleashed a roar and the Serpent Troop's Battle Will surged forth, forming into numerous beams of Battle Will that shot towards the black light in an attempt to obstruct it.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

But all resistance was futile. When the beam of light streaked across, it had immediately destroyed those Battle Will beams before slamming against Lu Kui under countless shocked gazes.

Pff! Pfff!

Lu Kui spat out a mouthful of blood as his chest collapsed. His body shot down into the wetland and left a hundred foot-sized deep crater. Even the swamp flowing in could not cover up the hole in such a short period of time.

Pfft! Pfffft!

The Serpent Troop had also suffered a heavy blow and innumerable people had blood spraying from their mouths, before they fainted. The Battle Will above them had completely disappeared at this moment.

Judging from the looks of it, even if they managed to save them, the strength of the Serpent Troop would suffer a huge blow!

Everyone in this region looked at the Serpent Troop that was defeated in an instant with shock. They could only recover from the shock a brief moment later. They exchanged looks and could see the dense astonishment and fear in each other's eyes.

The Serpent Troop's Battle Will wasn't at all inferior to the Nine Nether Troop. But the Spirit of Battle Will practically allowed the latter to achieve a complete suppressing victory.

Thus, one could tell the difference between the two.

Lu Wu looked at the Serpent Troop and Lu Kui, who was instantly defeated. His body involuntarily trembled as he stared at Mu Chen with torrential killing intent surging from his eyes.

This Mu Chen was too terrifying, to be able to control the Battle Will to such an extent at his age. If he was given time to become a Battle Array Master, just how terrifying would the threat that he would pose be?!

At that point in time, even the entire Dragon Serpent Sect might be annihilated by him!

As killing intent surged, there was practically no hesitation in Lu Wu as he bolted towards Mu Chen.

"You dare!" Immediately after, Nine Nether coldly barked out, before clenching her fist. A black-feathered sword appeared in her hand. It turned into a dark light that was aimed towards the vital spot of Lu Kui's back.

However, Lu Wu had clenched his teeth when facing Nine Nether's killing move and flashed above Mu Chen, sending a palm down, along with the terrifying whistle of Spiritual Energy, towards Mu Chen.

The torrential Spiritual Energy swept towards Mu Chen.

Nine Nether couldn't help changing her face, since she never thought that Lu Wu would actually be willing to be heavily injured by her to kill Mu Chen!

Naturally, he had noticed the threat that Mu Chen posed if he managed to grow!

"Mu Chen, watch out!"

When Nine Nether's bark rang out near Mu Chen's ears, he raised his head and saw the terrifying full-force palm from Lu Wu. Thereafter, he had suddenly tensed his muscles up as well.

At this moment, he was like a predator that was about to pounce on his prey.

A ferocious light flashed in his eyes.
