The Great Ruler

Chapter 929 - Igniting Bloodline

Boom!

The brilliant dragon and elephant roar resounded in the ancient palace as Mu Chen stood in the sky. Behind him, there were ten massive beings that hovered in the air. The five dragons and elephants were emanating terrifying Spiritual Energy undulations.

Quasi-Perfection Rank Divine Art - Nine Dragons and Elephants Art.

This Divine Art was something that Mu Chen had obtained back in the Merchant Continent. Although it was only at the level of Quasi-Perfection Rank Divine Art, the might that it could unleash upon achievement wouldn't be inferior to any Quasi-Perfection Rank Divine Art.

Mu Chen stood in the sky with his black pupils looking like vortices, deep and unfathomable. After refining five dragons and elephants, he did not hesitate and his hands swiftly joined together, forming afterimages.

"Nine Dragons and Elephants Art - Dragon-Elephant Wheel!"

A deep roar resounded from Mu Chen's heart as the five dragons and elephants unleashed a deep roar behind him. Thereafter, ten streaks of light whistled and heavily clashed together in the next instant.

Buzz!

A dazzling lustre came from the collision and a massive light wheel was formed in the light. The edge of the wheel was covered with the runes of dragons and elephants, which emanated Spiritual Energy undulations that caused space to ripple.

"Go!"

Mu Chen flicked his finger and the dragon-elephant wheel turned into a streak of light as it bolted out. In a flash, it had pierced through space and appeared before the Sky Dragon-Tiger in the next instant.

The speed and power of the Spiritual Energy undulations made even Sixth Grade Sovereigns like the Blood Hawk King to have their eyelids twitch. Facing such a ferocious attack, even they did not dare to belittle it.

Roar!

The Sky Dragon-Tiger seemed to have sensed Mu Chen's powerful attack and had immediately squinted its eyes, then stomped on the ground. A scarlet light burst out of its eyes and had suddenly opened its mouth.

A violent Spiritual Energy gathered in its mouth, which vaguely formed into a large ferocious tiger mouth, as a surge of ominous aura swept out.

"Sky Dragon-Tiger Roar!"

A deep roar resounded, which came from the Sky Dragon-Tiger's ferocious mouth. In the next instant, an astonishing roar burst out and everyone was startled to see a hundred-foot sound wave storm coming from the mouth of the Sky Dragon-Tiger.

Rumble!

The sound waves were majestic and as they whistled, it was as if there were images of a dragon and tiger leaping across, causing cracks to shatter in the path of the sound waves.

It was an extremely violent attack!

Boom!

The dragon and tiger sound wave shot out and heavily clashed with the dragon-elephant wheel under everyone's attention.

In that instant of collision, a huge noise was produced and a violent impact swept out, causing cracks to appear on the sturdy slabs down below.

The two of them were affected by the impact's shock wave and both of their bodies trembled before flying back.

Mu Chen's silhouette had slammed against the edge of the barrier, causing ripples on the barrier, as he issued a groan from his throat, before grabbing onto the barrier to stabilise his body. Directing his black pupils up ahead, he saw the Sky Dragon-Tiger kneeling on the ground. It burrowed its hands into the ground, which was carved with runes, with a long mark on the ground before it.

Roar!

The Sky Dragon-Tiger fixed onto Mu Chen with its scarlet gaze as well, unleashing a deep roar before removing its hand from the ground. Its arms were also covered with wounds.

In the previous collision, the two of them had ended in a a tie.

Outside the stage, the Kings watched the intense battle with grave expressions. They did not expect the Sky Dragon-Tiger to be so ferocious, that even Mu Chen could only manage to confront it with such a powerful Divine Art.

"The strength of the Sky Dragon-Tiger is probably ranked within the top amongst the ten ominous beasts." The Kings inwardly sighed. At least compared to the Demonic Blackiron Monkey, the Sky Dragon-Tiger was clearly much stronger.

Roar!

Just as the Kings had thoughts circulating in their minds, the Sky Dragon-Tiger unleashed a stunning roar on the stage and everyone could see a red lustre spreading out from its body in ripples.

That scarlet lustre was filled with an ominous aura.

Along with the appearance of the bloody light, everyone suddenly noticed that the Sky Dragon-Tiger's body was swelling up, bit by bit, and the black scales on the surface of its body grew darker.

In barely a few breaths of time, the Sky Dragon-Tiger's body had swelled up by a size while standing on the stage. It was like a Primordial Ominous Beast and the horns on its forehead grew even more pitch-black.

"Damn it, why did the Sky Dragon-Tiger become stronger? What's going on?!" When everyone noticed the changes on the Sky Dragon-Tiger, their faces instantly changed.

"It's igniting the Sky Dragon bloodline in its body." Mandala spoke out as her brows involuntarily knitted together. Igniting the bloodline was only possible with a few ominous beasts. None of those ominous beasts from before could accomplish it, but they did not expect the Sky Dragon-Tiger to be able to.

Its strength would be increased, which was bad news for Mu Chen.

Earlier, Mu Chen was only able to confront it after executing numerous means. Now that it had grown stronger, the situation wasn't optimistic for him.

Mu Chen's indifferent face slightly rippled. He had sensed the changes of the Sky Dragon-Tiger as well.

Boom!

However, the Sky Dragon-Tiger did not give him any time to respond. A ferocious light was flickering in its eyes. Stomping its feet, it displayed a terrifying speed, despite the massive body, and had already appeared before Mu Chen in a flash. The shadow cast from its body had enveloped Mu Chen within.

Brandishing its palm down, it made a slap towards Mu Chen's head with a Spiritual Energy so terrifying that even space had shattered apart beneath its palm.

Mu Chen swiftly moved to the side with his arms acting like a shield that guarded before him.

Boom!

A deep sound rang out with Mu Chen's silhouette being sent flying back by a single palm from the Sky Dragon-Tiger, leaving over a thousand-meter mark on the ground. Mu Chen slapped on the ground, causing the slabs to shatter, before he could stabilise his body.

Mu Chen had tightly knitted his brows. At this moment, his sleeves were already ripped apart and golden light was flowing beneath his skin. That palm from the Sky Dragon-Tiger from before could break the bones of ordinary Sixth Grade Sovereigns. But with the Dragon-Phoenix Physique, the strength of Mu Chen's body wasn't inferior to a Divine Beast. But even so, he had felt an intense pain coming from his arms.

Boom!

As Mu Chen frowned his brows, a break of wind enveloped over as the Sky Dragon-Tiger unleashed storm-like attacks.

In response to those attacks, Mu Chen's figure had burst in retreat.

The Sky Dragon-Tiger heavily pursued with its fists causing ripples in space.

Mu Chen was practically at a disadvantage from the sudden change of events on the stage. When the Kings saw this scene, their hearts couldn't help sinking. If this went on, then even if Mu Chen had a powerful physique, he probably wouldn't be able to withstand the attacks from the Sky Dragon-Tiger.

Nine Nether had clenched her fist, since Mu Chen's match was the crucial one. If he lost, then it would be more troublesome for Mandala to break the array.

Boom!

Along with a power that could crush a mountain, a fist smashed against Mu Chen's arm, which caused space to ripple, while Mu Chen's silhouette was blown back. Shortly after, Mu Chen slapped towards the empty space, which caused a Spiritual Energy undulation and forcefully stabilised himself before lowering his head to his arms. His arms were riddled with wounds and fresh blood was flowing from them at this moment.

"Igniting the bloodline of the Sky Dragon and granting an increase in its strength, thus increasing its speed, defences and power…" Mu Chen's gaze flickered. Although he was at a disadvantageous position, he did not have any ripples in his heart due to the existence of the Lesser Demon Heart State. On the contrary, he had been constantly evaluating the finest changes of the Sky Dragon-Tiger's strength.

"If the Sky Dragon-Tiger is in this state, the chances of me winning are extremely low…"

"But there will also be a repercussion from it igniting its bloodline. When the bloodline is completely exhausted, it will be in a state of weakness."

"I won't be able to hold on until it has completely exhausted its bloodline, so I need to increase the exhaustion rate."

"But how can I increase the exhaustion rate of his bloodline?"

"……"

Mu Chen's black pupils swiftly circulated as a light constantly flickered in his heart… In the end, he had suddenly squinted his eyes.

Boom!

Another collision. Mu Chen's body was sent flying back and had heavily slammed against the barrier. He wasn't bothered by it. Instead, he had suddenly formed some bizarre and ancient seals.

Boom!

Boundless Spiritual Energy swept out like a storm from Mu Chen's body with golden flames flashing through his black pupils. In the next moment, a black light had erupted from Mu Chen's head.

The light expanded and in just a short moment, it had already became a few thousand feet tall with everyone outside the stage unable to help squinting their eyes at the sight of this.

It was a black pagoda with ancient Sky Dragons carved at the side of it. Along with the appearance of the black tower, a desolate and ancient ripple spread out as well.

That black tower was the Nine-Layered Pagoda.

Mu Chen's seals changed as the Nine-Layered Pagoda soared into the sky before pressing down like a bolt of lightning, immediately enveloping the Sky Dragon-Tiger within. In the next moment, dozens of Sky Dragons separated from the surface of the pagoda as they turned into golden flames and charged into the pagoda, shrouding the Sky Dragon-Tiger.

But this time, those golden flames did not launch any attacks at the Sky Dragon-Tiger, they had turned into blazing flames that entered the body of the Sky Dragon-Tiger through the nostrils.

Roar!

The eyes of the Sky Dragon-Tiger had turned red in an instant. The Sky Dragon bloodline in its body had been completely ignited with terrifying Spiritual Energy undulations bursting out.

Sensing the Spiritual Energy undulations, the Kings had a change in their expressions. Even the Asura King had squinted his eyes, since even he would have a hard time facing the fluctuations.

What's Mu Chen doing? Why did the Sky Dragon-Tiger's strength suddenly grow stronger?

The Kings exchanged a look, since they clearly didn't understand Mu Chen's reason. Only Mandala was briefly stunned before her golden pupils lit up.

"That fellow can actually think of this… But it's all thanks to this pagoda. The flames formed by the Sky Dragon runes on it has a similar bloodline to the Sky Dragon-Tiger. So it is able to ignite the latter's bloodline…"

Mandala shifted her gaze onto the Nine-Layered Pagoda and her brows suddenly furrowed with her expression gradually turning solemn.

That pagoda looks a little familiar… Similar to the Divine Buddha Pagoda of the Divine Buddha Clan…

Why is Mu Chen in possession of the Divine Buddha Pagoda? The Divine Buddha Pagoda is unique only to the Divine Buddha Clan, could it be that he's someone from the Divine Buddha Clan?!
