The dark-golden dragon coiled behind Mu Chen as a draconic roar resounded, along with a shocking pressure that caused many experts to be shocked.
"That's actually a True Dragon?"
The Sky Vulture Emperor and Spiritual Pupils Emperor exclaimed in shock. A True Dragon was the Emperor of the Dragon Clan, possessing a terrifying strength comparable to a Heavenly Sovereign.
"It's not a genuine True Dragon, but it does possess a trace of a True Dragon's intent."
The Sleeping Emperor had unknowingly opened his sleepy eyes as he stared at the coiled dragon and slowly said.
"If I have not guessed incorrectly, this should be caused by the Dragon-Phoenix Physique that Mu Chen has cultivated. I never expected that he would have cultivated it to such a shocking degree in just a year."
The Sky Vulture Emperor and Spiritual Pupils Emperor squinted their eyes. They weren't unfamiliar with the Dragon-Phoenix Physique that Mu Chen possessed. But evidently, it was impossible for Mu Chen to possess such a sharp pressure of a True Dragon a year ago.
"Just the might of this True Dragon alone isn't something that an ordinary Quasi-Ninth Grade Sovereign could be compared to."
The two of them inwardly sighed in their hearts. Only now did they understand why Mu Chen wasn't afraid when facing the Dragon Arm Sovereign. It turned out that he did have some trump cards up his sleeves. Right now, with the power of the True Dragon, he probably possessed the qualifications to confront an Initial Phase Ninth Grade Sovereign.
On the throne, Mandala's petite figure remained unmoving like a mountain. But when she saw the True Dragon behind Mu Chen, a lustre flashed in her eyes, as if she was a little astonished.
Mandala clearly knew more about the Dragon-Phoenix Sutra that Mu Chen had cultivated. The True Dragon before them should be formed from the True Dragon Runes on Mu Chen's body. Back then, although the True Dragon Runes could provide some help to Mu Chen, it was clearly limited. But right now, the True Dragon formed from the True Dragon Runes possessed a spiritual physique.
It was so much so that it even possessed a powerful strength.
"What has this guy experienced in the past year? Why has he cultivated the Dragon Phoenix Sutra to such an extent?"
Mandala also felt doubtful in her heart. Not only was the Dragon-Phoenix Sutra difficult to cultivate, but it was even more difficult to raise it.
That required extremely harsh conditions. According to her estimations, if she wanted to evolve the True Dragon Mark into the current True Dragon Shadow, she would need to absorb an unknown amount of Divine Beast's blood essence.
Could this guy be in the Divine Beast Origin?
Was he going to dig out all the corpses of the fallen Divine Beasts?
While Mandala was having doubts in her heart, the Dragon Arm Sovereign also had a grave expression as he looked at the True Dragon with fear in the depths of his eyes.
The reason for that was because he knew that the True Dragon before him was not an illusion. Instead, it truly possessed the aura of a True Dragon.
That aura caused the flood like dragon energy in his body to slow down a little. That was because of the pressure of a superior.
The True Dragon was the ruler of the Dragon Clan, with a noble and powerful bloodline. But the Dragon Arm that he possessed was from a Yan Long, so the power of his bloodline was naturally inferior to a True Dragon.
He couldn't believe that a human like Mu Chen would possess the aura of a True Dragon.
Previously, he was still scoffing at Mu Chen's words. But at this moment, he had no choice but to take it seriously.
Looking at the majestic aura of the True Dragon Shadow, it was likely that he would really be defeated today if he were to underestimate the so-called 'one punch' that he was about to face.
Huff.
Just thinking about it.
The Dragon Arm Sovereign couldn't help taking a deep breath as he gradually suppressed the fear in his heart. His expression turned even more solemn as he slowly clenched his fists. The crimson lustre on his arms suddenly grew stronger.
Moreover, both of his arms were gradually expanding at this moment.
The Dragon Arm Sovereign's fingers had also become sharper with dense dragon scales covering them. Looking from afar, his arms no longer looked like a human. They had practically turned into two Yan Long claws that were filled with a ferocious aura.
While the Dragon Arm Sovereign was trying his best to circulate all his energy, Mu Chen raised his head and looked at the True Dragon in the sky. Shortly after, his gaze turned sharp.
Buzz!
A dazzling golden light burst out from Mu Chen's body, making him look like a golden god of war. He clenched his fist and punched out with an indifferent expression.
That punch was slow and heavy, as if it carried a myriad of mountains.
Furthermore, as Mu Chen punched out, the golden lustre on his dazzling body started to move. The golden lustre was like a tidal wave that flowed through Mu Chen's body and into his fist.
As the golden lustre condensed, Mu Chen's fist looked as if it was forged with gold. His fist rippled and shattered space.
"True Dragon Fist!"
Mu Chen roared in his heart as a gale surged from his fist. Boundless golden light abruptly shot out from his fist, forming into a golden fist that looked like it had a substance to it.
Roar!
In the air, the true dragon silhouette emitted a mighty roar. Soon after, it whizzed downwards and tunneled into the seemingly solid golden fist. Immediately, dark golden dragon scales grew on the fist and the might of the fist soared to the limit. Space shattered like glass wherever the fist passed, inch by inch.
When the golden fist whistled out, countless experts in the plaza had shock in their eyes. It was so much so that even the Sky Vulture Emperor and the other Ninth Grade Sovereign Realm experts had grave and dense fear in their eyes.
From Mu Chen's simple fist, they could sense an extremely dangerous aura. Boom!
Boom!
The golden True Dragon Fist pierced through space and appeared before the Dragon Arm Sovereign in the next instant. A golden lustre blossomed, as if it had sealed all of the Dragon Arm Sovereign's paths of retreat.
As the massive fist enveloped over, a golden lustre filled everyone's eyes, as if it was the ruler of the entire heavens and earth. The terrifying power made the Dragon Arm Sovereign's hair stand on end.
"It's not as easy as you think it is to defeat me!"
As the terrifying power enveloped him, the Dragon Arm Sovereign's eyes widened with rage as he roared and threw a palm forth without any hesitation.
Boom!
A scarlet lustre burst out and a massive Yan Long roared out from the Dragon Arm Sovereign's palm with torrential flames sweeping out, as if it wanted to incinerate the heavens and earth.
Rumble!
The golden fist and the Flame Dragon Palm clashed against each other under countless shocked gazes. Instantly, an earth-shaking sound resounded. It was as though there was a golden-red blazing sun rising from the point of collision, causing the space within a hundred thousand feet to distort from the frightening impact.
Boom!
Boom!
The stone platforms below were also affected by the impact and were reduced to ashes.
Many experts around the plaza had their faces changed as they retreated.
Looking at the terrifying impact, Mandala gently flicked her finger and a spiritual lustre appeared between the heavens and earth. A massive barrier enveloped down from the sky and enveloped the plaza. At the same time, it had also resisted the terrifying impact.
With Mandala's help, only then did everyone in the plaza feel relieved. Shortly after, they fixed their gazes on the plaza, only to see an incomparably violent golden lustre exploding. In an instant, it had completely covered the scarlet lustre.
The Dragon Arm Sovereign's face drastically changed. In the end, he had still underestimated the terrifying power of Mu Chen's fist.
Boom!
But before he could do anything, the golden ripple had already shattered space as it swept over. His body suffered a heavy blow as he was blown away in an exceptionally miserable manner.
Whoosh!
Everyone in the plaza trembled as they looked at the sky and saw the Dragon Arm Sovereign's silhouette turning into a streak of light as he was blown away with explosions in the air behind him. It was so much so that even space was shattering.
Boom!
The Dragon Arm Sovereign's silhouette was blown a few myriad feet back before he threw a palm out, shattering space and stabilizing his body. There was a trace of blood on the corner of his lips, but he did not wipe it off. On the contrary, his expression fluctuated as he looked into the distance. He saw a towering mountain with the plaza at its peak.
And right now, he was blown out of the mountain by a single punch from Mu Chen.
The Dragon Arm Sovereign's expression was unsightly. He never expected that Mu Chen would really send him flying with a single punch.
While the Dragon Arm Sovereign stood in the sky with an unsightly expression, the plaza was also in an uproar as everyone was dumbfounded as they looked at the Dragon Arm Sovereign.
As they exchanged a look, they sucked in a cold breath in their hearts. Mu Chen's fist actually managed to send an Initial Phase Ninth Grade Sovereign flying a few myriad feet away.
If it was anyone else in Mu Chen's shoes, they would have been reduced to ashes by now.
Their gazes abruptly shot towards the centre of the plaza, where a youthful silhouette could be seen as the dust settled.
At this moment, Mu Chen was still maintaining the same posture as when he had sent his fist out. On the surface of his fist, there were drops of blood dripping from it. This was caused by the rebound of his fist being too ferocious.
The majestic True Dragon image had already dissipated, and even the powerful Spiritual Energy fluctuation around Mu Chen had retracted. He slowly raised his head, revealing his youthful and handsome face.
He looked at the Dragon Arm Sovereign in the sky and smiled. "Dragon Arm Sovereign, what do you think of this fist?"
That fist contained all of his power, in addition to the True Dragon Image. The terrifying power was something that even a genuine Ninth Grade Sovereign would feel fearful of.
Looking at the youthful silhouette, the Dragon Arm Sovereign wanted to make another move, but he ultimately held it in. That's because he knew that he wasn't confident of defeating Mu Chen at this moment.
Even if he did not bring out all of his trump cards, he knew that it was the same for the youth before him. However, if it really came to that, it would be a life-and-death battle. At that time, even he wasn't confident that he could escape unscathed.
After a moment of silence, he finally cupped his fists from afar and said in a low voice, "The position of the new emperor is yours."
