The gorgeous woman chuckled as she looked at Mu Chen. However, the latter did not feel honoured at all. On the contrary, he felt his scalp going numb. The former's attitude had clearly shown that he possessed the ability of a Battle Formation Master.
He had never revealed it, but even so, it was still seen through by others, which made Mu Chen feel shocked in his heart. Heavenly Sovereigns were actually so terrifying?
It was just a glance and she had seen through all of his secrets.
On the altar, the other experts had also sensed the gaze of the gorgeous woman. Immediately, they shifted their gazes and looked at Mu Chen with astonishment.
"He's actually a Battle Formation Master?"
Someone couldn't help exclaiming in shock. This had clearly given them a considerable shock. If that's the case, didn't that mean that even when facing Bai Ming, Mu Chen still had a trump card up his sleeves?
Some experts exchanged a look and sighed as they shook their heads. They felt that Mu Chen was unfathomable.
"Little friend, are you willing to lend us a hand?"
The gorgeous woman smiled as she looked at Mu Chen. "If we don't deal with the current problem, I'm afraid that none of you here will be able to free An Ran."
Rustle!
Everyone's gazes were directed at Mu Chen with blazing gazes that made Mu Chen's heart clench. If he refused at this moment, the three Beast Sovereigns wouldn't even need to make a move, since those fellows would pounce up like wolves and tigers.
Jiu You bitterly smiled at this scene. The Undying Bird's eyesight was too vicious. She had seen through Mu Chen's trump card with a single glance, which made it impossible for him to hide.
At this moment, Mu Chen knew that he couldn't back down anymore, so he could only toughen his scalp and say, "Senior, you're thinking too highly of me. How can I control the current situation with my cultivation at the Seventh Grade Sovereign Realm?"
"We'll only know if we can or not after we try."
The Desolate Beast coldly snorted, "Since it's a disaster caused by you brats, you guys will naturally have to contribute."
Hearing that, Mu Chen's face turned a little green, although he did admit that the current situation might have something to do with them.
However, this was definitely not the main reason. This desolate beast was too good at shifting the blame.
However, reasoning with a former Heavenly Sovereign was clearly a foolish thing to do. Therefore, Mu Chen could only dryly laugh.
He didn't dare to say anything else.
Hehe!
Just as they were speaking, the devilish face on the demonic land outside the altar seemed to have become even larger and more sinister. It let out a shrill cackle and suddenly opened its huge mouth.
An earth-shattering demonic smoke gushed out, like a demonic dragon roaring across the horizon as it swept towards the altar.
"Hmph!"
The scholarly man that was the Myriad Spiritual Bird coldly snorted before he waved his hand and a five-coloured lustre burst out. The lustre was incomparably gorgeous, as if it contained a mysterious power. As it swept out, it had directly resisted the boundless demonic mist.
Thereafter, the two sides continued to corrode each other. Under the corrosion, space within a few myriad feet in radius was constantly collapsing like shattered glass.
When Mu Chen and the rest on the altar saw the destructive power, they felt their scalps going numb. If they were to be affected by that power, they would probably be reduced to ashes.
But as time passed, anyone could tell that the five-coloured lustre was constantly collapsing.
The multicolored light was constantly collapsing, but the demonic smoke seemed to be endless. It kept sweeping out from the mouth of the demon, as if it would not stop until the altar was wiped out.
Everyone on the altar was also fearful from this scene.
If even the three Beast Sovereigns couldn't withstand the demonic silhouette, then everyone here would be turned into blood today.
"This demonic being is getting harder to deal with."
The face of the Desolate Beast that was in the form of a bare-chested man had turned a little grave as he threw a palm forth. A palm that was a few myriad feet in size appeared out of nowhere with innumerable ancient runes engraved on it.
It was as if even the heavens and earth couldn't bear the weight of that palm.
With the help of the Desolate Beast, the torrential demonic smoke couldn't approach the altar. The two sides were in a deadlock as they constantly fought in the sky.
Keke!
But the deadlock did not last for long. The demonic face issued another sharp roar and the demonic ground trembled before countless cracks appeared. From those cracks, demonic figures whistled out with torrential demonic aura that covered the sky.
The demonic face had clearly prepared for this day for countless years. The moment it unleashed its attack, it was so terrifying that even the three Beast Sovereigns had been forced to retreat.
After all, they were only three Beast Sovereigns at this moment, and not their actual bodies.
When Mu Chen, who was on the altar, saw this scene, his expression turned grave. Earlier, when he saw the three Beast Sovereigns, he still had the thought of taking shelter under the tree. But looking at it now, the tree didn't seem to be as sturdy as he had imagined. The moment the three Beast Sovereigns' spiritual images disappeared, none of them would be able to escape.
But wasn't that demonic being a little too powerful?
"This demonic being was formed from the remnant wills of five Monarchs of the Fiend Clans. It had also devoured the corpses of countless experts of the Fiend Clans before it was formed. But when we discovered it, the three of us had already fallen, so we could only leave behind our spiritual silhouettes to suppress it." The gorgeous woman cast a glance at Mu Chen and her tone turned a little grave.
When Mu Chen and the rest heard her words, they instantly sucked in a cold breath. It was no wonder why this demonic being was so terrifying. It turned out that it was formed from the remnant wills of five Monarchs of the Fiend Clans. Those five Monarchs were equivalent to five Heavenly Sovereigns of the Great Thousand World.
It was no wonder why even the Spiritual Images left behind by the three Beast Sovereigns couldn't deal with it. So it turned out that this demonic being had an extraordinary origin.
"I wonder what Senior needs this Junior to do?" Mu Chen asked with his fists cupped.
"Pig, we will annihilate this demonic creature!" The beautiful woman said in a low voice, and her tone was filled with killing intent.
Mu Chen was briefly stunned before he bitterly smiled. "With this Junior's strength, I'm afraid that I won't be able to cause any harm to this demonic being, even if I give it my all."
The gorgeous woman smiled upon hearing her words. She gently waved her hand and an endless lustre blossomed on the altar. After which, everyone could see ripples on the altar's surface as light figures slowly rose from the altar and quietly stood on the altar.
Everyone focused their gazes over and saw several figures donned in beast armour. Their eyes were tightly shut and their bodies were robust. A terrifying killing intent lingered around them. The killing intent was boundless and boundless, as if they were the reincarnation of a god of death.
Every single one of those silhouettes possessed strength that wasn't inferior to Mu Chen and the rest. Furthermore, their bearing was extremely powerful, something that Mu Chen and the rest couldn't be compared to.
Most importantly, there were tens of thousands of silhouettes.
It was tens of thousands of powerful warriors with a unified bearing. Clearly, it was a terrifying troop that far exceeded any troop that Mu Chen had seen in the past.
If he could command such a powerful troop, even an Earth Sovereign Realm powerhouse wouldn't dare to face it head-on.
"This is the legendary Heavenly Beast Troop?!"
While Mu Chen was shocked by the troop before him, a commotion suddenly resounded on the altar and everyone was dumbfounded.
"Heavenly Beast Troop?"
Mu Chen had an unfamiliar expression on his face. He wasn't someone from the Divine Beast Clans, so he naturally didn't know about these secrets.
"It's rumoured that in ancient times, there was a powerful troop under the Three Beast Sovereigns of the Divine Beast Origin. That troop possessed the terrifying strength to kill Earth Sovereigns, and that troop was known as the Heavenly Beast Troop. If I've guessed correctly, it should be this troop before us." Nine Nether exclaimed from the side.
When Mu Chen heard his words, he was inwardly shocked. A troop that could kill Earth Sovereigns, how terrifying would it be?
Such an elite troop was probably something that every Battle Formation Master yearned for. As long as they could control it, where couldn't they go in the Great Thousand World?
"The genuine Heavenly Beast Troop has already been destroyed in the battle back then. This troop before us is only made from the bones of some warriors. It can be considered to have retained some of the strength from when they were alive, and it's also our final means to kill the demonic beings."
The gorgeous woman gently sighed. Right now, they were only spiritual remnants, and they weren't Heavenly Sovereigns that could destroy the heavens and earth with a wave of their hands. Therefore, they had to rely on external forces, and they weren't Battle Formation Masters. Back then, the Heavenly Beast Troop was controlled by a good friend that was also a Battle Formation Master. But right now, they clearly didn't have that help anymore.
"Senior wants me to control this troop to kill the demonic beings?" Mu Chen asked.
The gorgeous woman nodded her head.
Mu Chen had a difficult expression on his face. Although he was a Battle Formation Master, he was, at best, a Ten Thousand Rune Battle Formation Master. There was still some distance between him and a Hundred Thousand Rune Battle Formation Master. The troop before him might only have a few tens of thousands of troops, but every single one of them was equivalent to a hundred. That meant that it could deal with millions or even tens of millions of ordinary troops. With his attainments as a Ten Thousand Rune Battle Formation Master, how could he control it?
If he tried to force it, the slightest carelessness would cause his mind to be destroyed by the terrifying Battle Will and he would suffer a backlash.
When the gorgeous woman saw Mu Chen's expression, she knew what he was worried about and smiled. She pointed out with her finger and a light feather flew out, shooting into the centre of Mu Chen's brows. "This item can provide some protection for you. But I will not hide it from you. The Battle Will of the Heavenly Beast Troop is powerful, and it might be hard for you to control it with your strength. Therefore, even with my protection item, there will still be danger."
"Therefore, you can choose if you want to make a move." The gorgeous woman slowly said as she looked at Mu Chen.
Rustle.
Many gazes gathered on Mu Chen with their bodies tensed up as they stared at Mu Chen, fearing that Mu Chen would shirk his responsibility. Otherwise, all of them would be buried here.
Zong Qingfeng, Kong Ling, Lu Hou and the rest looked at Mu Chen with complicated gazes. Who could have imagined that they would need Mu Chen's help to leave this place unscathed?
Under the numerous nervous gazes from the surroundings, Mu Chen helplessly sighed. At this point in time, did he still have the leeway to refuse?
Even if it was for his own life, he could only take a gamble. Otherwise, when the three Beast Sovereigns' Spiritual Energy was exhausted, they would definitely die.
Furthermore, with the Undying Bird's status, he would definitely not be mistreated if he could complete this task. So how could he not be tempted by the so-called great fortune?
Thus, he took a deep breath and no longer hesitated. He looked at the gorgeous woman and heavily nodded his head.
"Senior, feel free to instruct me. I'm willing to take a gamble!"
