The boundless Spiritual Energy between the heavens and earth was like a flood as it exploded in the sky of the forest. Innumerable Spiritual Energy runes interweaved into complicated runes, vaguely forming into massive Spiritual Arrays, which made Jiu You and the rest feel their scalps going numb. They never expected that Mu Chen would actually set up so many Spiritual Arrays at once.
Under the layers of Spiritual Arrays, even an Eighth Grade Sovereign would be caught unprepared. Although the fighting prowess of a Spiritual Array Master wasn't too strong, if they were given sufficient time to prepare, then the fighting prowess that they could unleash would definitely be shocking.
Generally speaking, if it was a confrontation between experts, as long as they had some intellect, they wouldn't easily step into this region filled with Spiritual Runes. However, the Eighth Grade Beast Spirit did not have any intellect, so it had directly charged into the layers of Spiritual Arrays.
After charging into the Spiritual Arrays, the Eighth Grade Beast Spirit had instinctively sensed the danger here and immediately wanted to retreat, leaving this dangerous region.
But clearly, Mu Chen, who had managed to lure it in with great difficulty, would naturally not let it leave so easily.
"Since you're here, then stay."
"Skynet Array!"
Mu Chen gently smiled as his seals changed. In the layers of Spiritual Arrays, there were two similar Spiritual Arrays that appeared at the same time. Countless spiritual seals danced in the air, shooting out streaks of Spiritual Energy that interweaved into an inescapable net that covered the sky. Those streaks of light were like pythons as they coiled around the limbs of the Eighth Grade Beast Spirit, firmly binding it.
The Skynet Array was only a High Rank Earth Grade Spiritual Array, so if it was executed by itself, it wouldn't be able to trap the Eighth Grade Beast Spirit. Therefore, Mu Chen had set up two of them for safety.
Roar!
Being bound by the streaks of light, the Eighth Grade Beast Spirit had issued a roar.
A torrential deathly aura violently swept out from its body, swiftly corroding the streaks of light.
The restriction of the two Heaven's Net Arrays only lasted for a brief moment before the Eighth Grade Beast Spirit broke free.
However, Mu Chen wasn't surprised by this. After all, the Encircling Array's grade was too low. Even with two Spiritual Arrays, its power was limited, so it was impossible for it to restrain an Eighth Grade Beast Spirit for long. However …
This had already bought him enough time …
Mu Chen deeply inhaled a mouthful of air as spiritual light erupted from his black pupils. Afterimages fluttered between his hands. Following the change of his hand seal, the Spiritual Arrays that had been set up in this region instantly exploded one after another.
"Butchering Demonic Lotus Formation!"
"Green Lotus Sword Spirit Array!"
"Indestructible Golden Bell Formation!"
"…"
Following Mu Chen's low roar, Spiritual Arrays started to appear one after another. The number of Spiritual Arrays wasn't small.
When all of them were stacked together, their aura was rather terrifying.
Boom!
Boom! When those Spiritual Arrays appeared, they immediately revealed their killing intent.
A storm of Spiritual Energy swept up in this region as the Spiritual Arrays formed into astonishing attacks that slammed towards the Eighth Grade Beast Spirit.
Boom!
Boom!
Boom!
Numerous Spiritual Arrays exploded on the Eighth Grade Beast Spirit's body, forcing it to retreat. The deathly aura that was spreading out on its body had also become chaotic from the intense bombardment.
The Eighth Grade Beast Spirit constantly retreated, but the violent attacks had enraged it. Shortly after, a roar resounded from its mouth.
Throwing a fist forth, a terrifying torrent of deathly aura whistled out from his fist, destroying the attacks of the Spiritual Arrays that were flying over.
When Mu Chen saw this scene, his silhouette retreated once again.
The Eighth Grade Beast Spirit roared as it chased after him with torrential deathly aura. But when it suddenly stepped into a region, the deathly aura around it violently contracted.
It was because it had sensed that the surrounding danger had grown stronger.
Boom!
The surrounding space suddenly distorted and countless spiritual seals integrated into space. As the light intertwined, a massive Spiritual Array appeared out of thin air.
As the spiritual lustre gathered, it had formed into the seal of a divine mountain that heavily pressed down.
Boom!
The seal of the divine mountain heavily slammed against the Eighth Grade Beast Spirit.
That frightening power had pierced half of its body deep into the ground, while a crack had appeared on its forehead. Clearly, it had suffered a serious injury.
Roar!
The eyes of the Eighth Grade Beast Spirit turned red as a beam of deathly aura gathered in its mouth and gushed out, shattering the seal of the divine mountain into sparkles of light.
Boom!
But just when it shattered the seal of the divine mountain, two more seals descended from the sky and slammed against its head, smashing it into the ground, causing the ground to crumble.
When Jiu You and the rest saw this scene, they couldn't help inwardly smacking their lips. If they were in the midst of the Spiritual Arrays, they would have already been killed by the attacks of the Spiritual Arrays.
"A well-prepared Spirit Formation Master is indeed a little scary …" Han Shan wiped off his cold sweat. If someone of the same level were to fall into such an encirclement, even if they could escape, they would have to pay a heavy price.
However, Han Shan was clear that not every Spiritual Array Master could control so many Spiritual Arrays at the same time. Evidently, Mu Chen also had high attainments in Spiritual Arrays.
This caused him to involuntarily sigh. Even someone as prideful as him had no choice but to admit defeat. The fellow before him was indeed a freak … Compared to him, these so-called geniuses were truly dull and lackluster.
"But even with such attacks, I'm afraid that it won't be able to cause any fatal injuries to the Eighth Grade Beast Spirit …" Mo Feng pondered for a brief moment, before he suddenly said.
When Jiu You and the rest heard his words, they gently nodded their heads. Although the Eighth Grade Beast Spirit seemed to be suppressed by Mu Chen's Spiritual Arrays, the latter still possessed a strength comparable to an Eighth Grade Sovereign. So up until now, there weren't any injuries that could affect its fighting strength.
Boom!
As they spoke, the ground suddenly exploded and rocks flew in all directions. A silhouette covered in deathly aura soared into the sky. As he roared, a deathly ripple spread out, shattering the divine mountain spiritual seal that was flying over.
At this moment, the Eighth Grade Beast Spirit looked a little pathetic. The deathly aura around it had also weakened a little. But overall, it was still tough to deal with.
Mu Chen raised his head at this scene and his gaze lightly flickered. He never expected that the Eighth Grade Beast Spirit would still be able to withstand the attacks of ten-odd Spiritual Arrays.
Rustle!
The Eighth Grade Beast Spirit fixed its enraged gaze onto Mu Chen as it pounced down. As the deathly aura surged, it was like a smoke signal soaring into the sky.
Looking at the Eighth Grade Beast Spirit pouncing over, Mu Chen did not move. When it approached him, he suddenly stomped his feet.
Buzz!
The space behind him suddenly rippled as countless Spiritual Seals appeared once again. This time, there were actually two extremely profound and powerful Spiritual Formations.
In the Spiritual Arrays, there seemed to be strands of bizarre light circulating.
"God Annihilation Array!"
Mu Chen's gaze flickered as he barked. In an instant, the two Spiritual Arrays abruptly exploded. Strands of light condensed and pierced through space, enveloping towards the Eighth Grade Beast Spirit.
The last two God Annihilation Arrays were the strongest Slaughtering Arrays that Mu Chen had laid out. Furthermore, the two God Annihilation Arrays had been brewing for a long time. So the quantity and power of the God Annihilation Light was much stronger than before.
Those Spiritual Arrays from before were only used to exhaust the Eighth Grade Beast Spirit. Only the last two God Annihilation Arrays were the real killing moves. If it was struck by them, then even the Eighth Grade Beast Spirit would have to pay a great price.
Whoosh!
Whoosh!
As the strands of God Annihilation Light enveloped over, the deathly aura around the Eighth Grade Beast Spirit violently fluctuated. It had also sensed the danger. But before it could dodge, its body was enveloped by the God Annihilation Light and it abruptly pierced through.
Boom!
Space exploded and the Eighth Grade Beast Spirit's silhouette fell with fist-sized holes on its body with deathly aura dissipating from the holes.
Boom!
The Eighth Grade Beast Spirit's silhouette shot into the ground, causing the ground in a radius of a myriad feet to crumble as huge cracks spread out, affecting the entire forest.
When Jiu You and the rest saw this scene, their eyes flashed with joy. This move that Mu Chen had been brewing for a long time was truly powerful!
This time, no matter how powerful the Eighth Grade Beast Spirit was, it would definitely be heavily injured!
Dust rose from the ground and the entire region was in a mess. Mu Chen stood in the sky as he lowered his head to look at the crumbled ground and deeply breathed out a mouthful of air.
Controlling so many Spiritual Arrays at the same time had caused him to feel a stinging pain between his brows. However, he did not let his guard down. That's because he knew that despite suppressing the Eighth Grade Beast Spirits and even using two God Annihilation Arrays, it wasn't so easy to kill an Eighth Grade Beast Spirit …
Boom!
Just when this thought flashed in Mu Chen's heart, a deep noise resounded from the ground below and he squinted his eyes. The torrential deathly aura spread out like an ocean of death and a miserable silhouette slowly rose from the ocean of deathly aura.
That silhouette was covered in deep holes with deathly aura constantly dissipating. It was so much so that even half of its shoulder had fallen off and was on the verge of breaking. Evidently, although Mu Chen's attacks couldn't kill the Eighth Grade Beast Spirit, it had still heavily injured it.
Roar!
The Eighth Grade Beast Spirit looked at Mu Chen with its eyes filled with deathly aura as it unleashed a furious roar with a scarlet light flickering in its eyes. Its instincts told it that it had to devour the person before it alive today.
Mu Chen stood in the sky as he indifferently looked at the Eighth Grade Beast Spirit, which was going to fight to the death. Shortly after, he closed his eyes and a black light gathered on the centre of his brows before a vertical eye slowly opened.
This Life-Extinguishing Pupil was the finishing move that Mu Chen had prepared for the Eighth Grade Beast Spirit.
