The Great Ruler

Chapter 938 - Three Sovereign Celestial Bodies

The Netherworld Prince and Fang Yi stood on the sky of the lake with both of their eyes looking as sharp as blades while being fixed onto Mu Chen, like hawks eyeing their prey.

The Spiritual Energy undulations around the two of them were powerful to a shocking extent. The Netherworld Prince had used a secret art, while Fang Yi had relied on pellets to temporarily possess the strength comparable to Sixth Grade Sovereigns.

Clearly, the two of them had paid a great price just to get rid of Mu Chen.

Under their cold gazes, Mu Chen had slowly spat out a white mist, while his gaze gradually turned sharp as he stared at the two of them. At the same time, the blood in his body had started to boil.

Elated fighting will surge in Mu Chen's heart.

He abruptly clenched his fist, and the massive Great Meru Demonic Pillar appeared in a flash and stood before him, emitting a torrential ominous aura. He held onto the demonic pillar, while looking at the two before him, and lightly smiled. "The both of you want to suppress me. But, it just so happens… that I also want to use the both of you as a whetstone so that I can improve!"

The path of an expert required one to constantly defeat powerful enemies, seeking breakthroughs through life and death. Now that Mu Chen had stabilised his cultivation at Fifth Grade Sovereign and the Spiritual Energy in his body had become more robust and refined from every single battle in the Fallen Battlefield. Therefore, he was even more yearning for ferocious battles at this moment.

"Such impudence, aren't you afraid of destroying yourself by using us at a whetstone?!" The Netherworld Prince coldly said.

Mu Chen smiled, but no longer spoke. He slowly, tightly held onto the Great Meru Demonic Pillar and the space undulated at his rear. His Sovereign Sea appeared with boundless Spiritual Energy sweeping out and a powerful Spiritual Energy pressure.

Although the Netherworld Prince and Fang Yi had reached Sixth Grade Sovereign, Mu Chen wasn't afraid of them. In terms of genuine fighting strength, the Sky-Dragon Tiger that he had previously defeated was clearly stronger than the two of them. It's just that the difference was that the Sky-Dragon Tiger did not have any consciousness, whereas the two of them were cunning.

"Let's go!"

The Netherworld Prince let out a roar and the both of them had turned into streaks of light at the same time. The Netherworld Prince pounced towards Mu Chen head-on, whereas Fang Yi had appeared behind Mu Chen in a flash.

The two of them were elites amongst the younger generations of the Northern Region, so they were extremely well-coordinated when they moved, instantly sandwiching Mu Chen.

"Netherworld Light! Shattering Stars!"

A chill surged in the Netherworld Prince's eyes as he stabbed his spear forth like a dragon as boundless Spiritual Energy poured over, gathering on the spear tip. In an instant, there was a small black hole on his spearhead and as it fluctuated, it had tore cracks in space.

It was a simple-looking spear, but it had suppressed Spiritual Energy to the extreme and the power of it was something that even an ordinary Sixth Grade Sovereign would not dare to meet head-on.

"Circulationsky Divine Art - Circulationsky Seal!"

As the Netherworld Prince launched his attack, Fang Yi had also barked out as a powerful Spiritual Energy exploded. Fang Yi slapped a palm forth with the centre of the palm forming into an ancient spiritual light seal that seemed to contain a boundless power with unfathomable might.

The two of them already had a great understanding of Mu Chen at this point in time. So they did not hold back when they launched their attacks, knowing that astonishing means were possessed by Mu Chen. There wasn't any thoughts or probing as they launched their attacks with the intention to kill right from the start. That way, even if they couldn't kill Mu Chen, they could force him into a disadvantage.

Two attacks sandwiching him enveloped over and the powerful might of those two had made Mu Chen's brows slightly twitch. In the next instant, his black pupils had turned hollow, which would strike a chill in the hearts of others.

Lesser Demon Heart State!

Mu Chen suddenly tightened his grip on the Great Meru Demonic Spear. As boundless Spiritual Energy whistled out, it had fused with the ominous aura from the Great Meru Demonic Pillar. Looking from afar, there seemed to be a layer of blood crystals on the surface of the demonic pillar.

It wasn't crystallised Spiritual Energy, since that was something only Earth Sovereigns could achieve. The crystallised layer was Mu Chen's own Spiritual Energy fusing with the ominous aura of the Great Meru Demonic Pillar. However, even though that wasn't completely crystallised Spiritual Energy, the might of it wasn't something to be belittled.

Buzz!

Mu Chen shook his arm and the Great Meru Demonic Pillar whistled down, fluctuating as the demonic pillar smashed through space and heavily clashed against the Netherworld Spear like a bolt of lightning.

In that instant, when the demonic pillar and the spear clashed, Mu Chen threw a palm back with boundless Spiritual Energy surging with purple flames. Taking a clear look at it, the purple flames seemed to contain a form of incorporeal lightning as well. As the two fused together, it had brought the might of Mu Chen's Spiritual Energy to a whole new level.

Boom!

Bang!

A metallic clashed rang out, along with the clashes of fist and palm, in that instant of contact. What followed after was unparalleled Spiritual Energy shock waves.

Waves were lifted from the lake below and some of the experts that were affected by it directed their eyes over, before instantly narrowing them. In the sky above, the three of them had stood On three sides in the formation of a triangle. Mu Chen had used the demonic pillar to clash with the Netherworld Prince's spear, while using a palm to clash with Fang Yi.

At the point of contact, space had rippled out.

The three of them had cold expressions. They had clearly, violently circulated the Spiritual Energy in their bodies in an attempt to overwhelm their opponents.

Boom!

The Spiritual Energy undulations had finally reached a limit and a Spiritual Energy storm dominated from the point of contact for the three of them. The three's bodies trembled before they all flew back.

Mu Chen was shot out over a hundred feet, before stomping his foot, forcefully stabilising his silhouette as the space fluctuated beneath his feet. Looking over, he saw the Netherworld Prince and Fang Yi had merely taken a few dozen feet back. Clearly, the two of them had gained the upper hand in their confrontation.

But despite having the upper hand, both of their faces had turned even darker. The two of them had a cultivation at the Sixth Grade Sovereign Realm and they couldn't obtain the absolute upper hand, even when the both of them launched their attacks together. This wasn't the kind of outcome that the two of them wanted.

In this chaotic region, the experts of the other forces were paying attention towards this situation. Naturally, when they saw that both the Netherworld Prince and Fang Yi couldn't suppress Mu Chen completely despite working together, a smear of astonishment flashed through their eyes.

Although everyone knew that Mu Chen could confront Sixth Grade Sovereigns when he was in control of Battle Will, he could only rely on his cultivation at Fifth Grade Sovereign right now. In terms of numbers, the Netherworld Prince and Fang Yi had the advantage, as well as cultivation. But despite having such a formation, the two of them couldn't achieve the expected suppression.

"That Mu Chen is indeed not a simple person. Looks like there's a good show to watch during the three's confrontation."

…

The other forces had all paid attention towards their confrontation. The Netherworld Prince and Fang Yi exchanged a glance as they both knitted their brows and transmitted their voices to each other.

"That fellow obviously only has a cultivation at Fifth Grade Sovereign. But his control over Spiritual Energy is extremely brilliant, without any waste."

"Furthermore, he has fused some unique flames and lightning in his Spiritual Energy, causing the quality of it to be higher and stronger than similar experts."

"This fellow is troublesome."

"……"

The two's gazes intertwined and they couldn't help clenching their teeth. Why is this damnable fellow so hard to deal with?!

"Don't hold back, we'll finish him with all our strength!"

The both of them had a chill flashing across their eyes. In the next instant, the two of them had swiftly formed their seals and a powerful Spiritual Energy swept out of their bodies without any restraint, causing a gale to sweep in this region.

"Great Netherworld Celestial Body!"

"Primordial Starlight Celestial Body!"

Along with their resounding yells, the Spiritual Energy in this region violently swept towards the two of them. In just a few breaths' time, two massive silhouettes had appeared around them, unleashing powerful pressures as well.

Mu Chen narrowed his eyes at the sudden appearance of the two colossal figures. Mu Chen had seen Fang Yi's Primordial Starlight Celestial Body before, but this was the first time that he had seen the Netherworld Prince's Sovereign Celestial Body.

The Netherworld Prince's Sovereign Celestial Body was black and, looking from afar, it looked like a demonic deity that stood in this region with Spiritual Energy sweeping out like a storm that endlessly whistled.

After bringing out their Sovereign Celestial Bodies, the Spiritual Energy around Fang Yi and the Netherworld Prince had clearly grown much stronger.

"Mu Chen actually managed to force the Netherworld Prince and Fang Yi to use their Sovereign Celestial Bodies. The two's Sovereign Celestial Bodies are decently ranked, even amongst the 99 Rankings of Sovereign Celestial Bodies." When the other experts in this region noticed the Spiritual Energy fluctuations here, their countenances slightly changed.

"Ranked 68th on the 99 Rankings of Sovereign Celestial Bodies, the Great Netherworld Celestial Body?" Mu Chen muttered. The Great Netherworld Celestial Body had a decent fame, being ranked 68th. Only some powerful forces possessed the cultivation technique for it.

It looked like the Netherworld Prince and Fang Yi weren't intending to continue this battle. After all, the competition here should be after the Spiritual Divine Liquid and that should be the main objective.

"Settling this matter as quickly as possible… good…"

A cold light gathered in Mu Chen's eyes as he inhaled a deep breath and both of his hands formed seals. Instantly, a violent Spiritual Energy swept out like a storm as a dazzling golden light radiated like a blazing sun that suddenly appeared in this region.

The experts of the various factions raised their heads in shock as they looked at the massive golden giant that had gradually appeared outside of Mu Chen's body. Behind the head of that massive silhouette, there was a blazing golden sun that emanated an endless pressure, causing the hearts of many experts to tremble.

The pressure that came from Mu Chen's Sovereign Celestial Body was actually even stronger than the Sovereign Celestial Bodies of Fang Yi and the Netherworld Prince!

Except they had no idea what the outcome would be when the three Sovereign Celestial Bodies clashed together!
