Rumble!
The ice mountain that was shaped like a phoenix unfolding its wings pressed down, along with the endless cold current. In the path of the cold current, even space had turned into ice crystals. Looking from afar, it was extremely gorgeous.
However, under the gorgeous, there was a heart-palpitating danger.
The ice mountain swiftly expanded in Mu Chen's eyes as he took a deep breath. His face was grave as he abruptly formed seals with a single hand.
Buzz!
At this moment, powerful Spiritual Energy erupted from Mu Chen's body like a flood. The degree of tyrannical Spiritual Energy was several times more tyrannical than before.
"So he has broken through to the Seventh Grade Sovereign Realm!"
Sensing the strength of Mu Chen's Spiritual Energy, many experts' eyes flashed. When they encountered Mu Chen outside the God's Cemetery, the latter was only at the pinnacle of the Sixth Grade Sovereign Realm. They never expected that he would make a breakthrough in such a short period of time, which was truly unexpected.
But even if he had made a breakthrough, he was only at the Seventh Grade Sovereign Realm, while Bai Ming was a genuine Eighth Grade Sovereign Realm!
As boundless Spiritual Energy surged around him, Mu Chen's eyes flickered and his seals changed once again. A golden light blossomed from his body with draconic roars and phoenix cries resounding. Vaguely, a powerful pressure was being emitted.
The True Dragon and Phoenix Spirits resided on Mu Chen's arms as they roared towards the sky. A golden light seeped into Mu Chen's body and golden dragon scales and phoenix feathers grew on Mu Chen's arms. They seemed to have formed into a Dragon-Phoenix Armguard that covered Mu Chen's arms in layers.
At this moment, the Seventh Grade Sovereign Realm Spiritual Energy cultivation and the power of the Seventh Grade Sovereign Realm physical body had completely gathered together.
Boom!
Visible ripples of spiritual light emanated from Mu Chen's body. The fluctuation caused many experts that were watching to have a slight change in their expressions. That's because they could sense an extremely dangerous aura.
That's because they could sense an extremely dangerous aura.
Even those pinnacle level Seventh Grade Sovereigns felt their scalps going numb when facing Mu Chen.
"This kid dares to provoke Bai Ming, he really does have some ability!"
The gazes of those experts gradually turned grave and the ridicule from before had dissipated by quite a bit. That's because the scene before them wasn't something that an ordinary Seventh Grade Sovereign could possess.
Bang!
As thoughts flashed through their minds, they saw Mu Chen, who had gathered his physical body and Spiritual Energy, take half a step back.
His body arched like a bow, his elbow pulled back slightly, and then he punched out.
That fist was extremely slow, as if it had sunk into mud. However, everyone could see space distorting in the path of the fist. Ripples were constantly being emitted with the fist at the center.
Boom!
Throwing a punch out, it brought along torrential spiritual light as it swept out.
Then, under numerous solemn gazes, it violently collided with the descending ice mountain.
Visible shock waves abruptly burst out. On the plaza
Cracks swiftly appeared and Mu Chen's body had been crushed by an inch by the ice mountain. His feet had crushed the sturdy stone slabs and deeply sunk into it.
Looking from afar, Mu Chen was like a ferocious tiger under the ice mountain as he bitterly struggled.
When Bai Ming saw this scene in the sky, a cold smile appeared on the corner of his lips.
A smear of a sneer appeared at the corner of his mouth. His figure moved and appeared on the ice mountain. Thereafter, he stomped down heavily, burying Mu Chen in the plaza.
But just when his feet were about to stomp down, the ice mountain beneath his feet suddenly trembled.
Roar!
At the bottom of the ice mountain.
The roar of a dragon and the cry of a phoenix resounded as a hundred-foot-wide pillar of dragon and phoenix light abruptly charged out, tearing apart the ice mountain like a hot knife through butter. In the end, it broke out from the peak of the mountain with overbearing golden light.
It had also pierced out from beneath Bai Ming's feet.
Bai Ming's face sank as his silhouette flickered and disappeared.
An afterimage appeared, allowing the golden light to pierce through him.
Boom!
The golden light soared into the sky like a pillar that supported the heavens. Under the shine of the golden light, the ice mountain rapidly collapsed. Finally, with a bang, it turned into ice that filled the sky and disappeared.
When the teams on the altar saw this scene, their countenances changed. Evidently, they never expected that the one-sided battle would be so unexpected.
As the chill gradually dissipated, everyone directed their gazes over, only to see Mu Chen slowly pulling his legs out from the deep hole in the ground. Expressionlessly, he raised his head and looked at the sky.
Bai Ming's silhouette had appeared in a flash. Although he still had an indifferent expression, there was an additional trace of shock in his eyes. Evidently, the strength that Mu Chen had displayed had left him a little startled.
Relying on his Spiritual Energy and powerful physique, although Mu Chen's cultivation was only at the Seventh Grade Sovereign Realm, the fighting strength that he possessed had indeed exceeded the Seventh Grade Sovereign Realm.
It was no wonder why that fellow dared to challenge him, he did have some ability.
Boom!
Just when Bai Ming's gaze flickered, Mu Chen suddenly stomped his feet and his silhouette turned into a streak of light that soared into the sky, pouncing towards Bai Ming.
Low clamoring noises rang out from the surroundings. This Mu Chen actually dared to take the initiative to launch a counterattack?
Whoosh!
Mu Chen's silhouette mysteriously appeared above Bai Ming and swiftly formed seals with his hands. Instantly, boundless Spiritual Energy burst out, causing space to distort behind him and his Sovereign Sea vaguely appeared. Thereafter, a golden light burst out and a Great Solar Celestial Body was formed. It was a myriad foot in size, looking like a deity.
Mu Chen's move was even more ruthless as he had immediately summoned the Great Solar Undying Body. Clearly, he knew that Bai Ming was a troublesome opponent, so he did not waste any time and went all-out.
The Great Solar Undying Body stood in the sky, enveloped in a golden light, looking mysterious and unfathomable. Mu Chen's silhouette appeared above its head and his seals changed. Five blazing suns rose from the Great Solar Undying Body, before exploding.
"Five Solar Spear!"
A golden current gathered in the palm of the Great Solar Undying Body, forming into a massive golden spear. On the golden spear, there were five blazing suns hovering around it, looking extremely powerful.
With Mu Chen's current strength, it would be extremely difficult for him to execute such a move.
It was simply an easy feat.
Whoosh!
The golden spear flew out, causing the atmosphere to explode as it turned into a golden beam of light that shot towards Bai Ming. The terrifying fluctuation was akin to a meteorite descending from the sky, bringing along a destructive intent.
"Hmph!"
The golden spear swept over. Sensing the boundless momentum, Bai Ming's face had turned dark and he coldly snorted.
Both of his hands abruptly formed seals and profound runes were emitted from his palms, before he pressed them down in the space before him.
"Ice Phoenix Feather!"
Buzz!
Boundless spiritual light gathered and swiftly formed into an icy-blue feather that was a hundred feet in size. The feather whistled out, bringing along an extremely cold aura as it clashed with the golden spear.
Boom!
A violent shock wave wreaked havoc as the golden spear and ice feather exploded at the same time.
Whoosh!
Whoosh!
As the shock wave wreaked havoc, there was an endless burst of whizzing wind that resounded up ahead, causing Bai Ming to abruptly raise his head.
His pupils slightly narrowed.
There were ten-odd golden currents up ahead, all of which were formed from golden spears.
Every single one of them possessed the power to heavily injure pinnacle level Seventh Grade Sovereigns.
When Mu Chen's strength broke through to the Seventh Grade Sovereign Realm, the Five Solar Spear, which he could only execute with his full strength back then, could be unleashed at such a scale and speed.
The scale of this attack was enough to make everyone here feel their scalps going numb.
"Puny tricks!"
Bai Ming's face was cold as a cold light surged from his fingertips, before he drew several light seals in the space before him.
In the next instant, when his fingertips stopped, a cold current gushed out, forming into a thick ice shield that was roughly a thousand feet in size. On the ice shield, there were phoenixes unfolding their wings, looking exquisite and sturdy.
Even the attacks of Eighth Grade Sovereigns couldn't penetrate through it.
Boom!
Boom!
The golden spear whistled over, constantly slamming against the thick phoenix ice shield. Although the attacks were ferocious, it could only cause cracks to appear on the ice shield.
However, it still couldn't make a breakthrough.
"Without the strength of an Eighth Grade Sovereign, don't dream of breaking through my Ice Phoenix Spiritual Shield." Bai Ming stood behind the ice shield.
He sneered.
Buzz!
When he finished speaking, a golden light burst out from the sky before him and two streaks of golden light shot over like comets. Within the golden light were two massive golden staffs.
Those were the Seven Solar Sky-Severing Staffs!
In the past, Mu Chen could only barely refine one with the power of his physical body. But now that he had made a breakthrough, he could refine two and launch attacks at the same time.
The might of the two Sky-Severing Staffs was something that even genuine Eighth Grade Sovereigns wouldn't dare to underestimate.
Boom!
The golden staffs pierced through the horizon and in the next instant, they had slammed against the exquisite ice shield. The two of them briefly froze, before a terrifying shock wave swept out in the next instant. The ice shield that could withstand the attacks of an Eighth Grade Sovereign had exploded.
As the ice and golden light wreaked havoc, Bai Ming's silhouette flew back in retreat in a pathetic state. His hair was also a little messy from the shock. Clearly, he had suffered a loss from Mu Chen's sudden attack.
In the surroundings, many experts had shock in their eyes. No one had expected that Mu Chen could actually force Bai Ming into such a pathetic state.
On the altar, Bai Bin's face had also changed with disbelief on his face. Beside him, Chi Hongwu's face had also turned grave. They never expected that Mu Chen, who wasn't even worth mentioning, would actually possess the strength to confront Bai Ming.
Under the countless shocked gazes on the altar, Bai Ming stabilised his figure on the plaza and his gaze was like a sharp blade as he looked at Mu Chen with a dark and furious expression on his face.
He never expected that facing a Seventh Grade Sovereign, he would actually fail miserably in an easy task.
But Bai Ming wasn't an ordinary figure, so the rage in his heart was swiftly suppressed by him. He coldly looked at Mu Chen and slowly stretched his hand out. With a flash of cold light, an ice-blue feathered fan appeared in his hand.
When Bai Ming held onto the ice-blue feathered fan, even Mu Chen had narrowed his eyes. At this moment, the danger that the former gave him had clearly risen by an entire level.
"You're finally going to use the Quasi-Saint Artifact?"
