Boom!
Boom!
The river water in the Heavenly Lake flowed as countless divine seals that were akin to crowns whistled across and bombarded towards Xia Yu, whose face was ashen.
"Bastard!"
Xia Yu couldn't help cursing with his teeth clenched. He never expected that Mu Chen would use such a method to easily withstand his attack.
Facing the tyrannical divine seals, Xia Yu did not dare to underestimate them. After all, he knew that if he allowed those divine seals to hit him, even he would have to pay a price.
Roar!
Therefore, he stomped his foot and the Celestial Body of the Great Emperor suddenly opened its mouth and roared. Visible sound waves raged out like a storm.
"Emperor's Roar!"
The sound waves wreaked havoc, causing cracks to appear in space. When those divine seals came in contact with the layers of sound waves, they were actually shattered.
Boom!
Boom!
Boom!
In just a few breaths' time, the divine seals that filled the sky were instantly wiped out. The surrounding river water was riddled with holes, and it took a long time for it to gradually recover.
When the experts in the distance saw this destructive power, their faces couldn't help changing. The strength that Xia Yu had displayed wasn't something that ordinary Perfected Ninth Grade Sovereigns could compare to.
"The Sovereign Celestial Body that you've cultivated is indeed of the same lineage as Jia Louluo!"
Xia Yu's gaze was eerie as he looked at Mu Chen. Through the previous confrontation, he could already confirm that Mu Chen's Sovereign Celestial Body was indeed the same as Jia Louluo's.
Because of the rising sun and the eruption of power.
It was practically the same.
However, Xia Yu's mysterious Sovereign Celestial Body was a little dark, making others unable to fathom it. It was like an unfathomable black hole.
On the other hand, the mysterious magical body that Mu Chen cultivated was like a brilliant sun with a majestic aura.
When Mu Chen heard this, he was rather calm. Xia Yu had clearly fought with Jia Louluo before, so he should have seen the Great Solar Undying Body that the latter had cultivated.
"Hand over the cultivation method of your mysterious Paragon Celestial Body to me. Not only can I give you a satisfactory price, you can even gain the friendship of my Grand Xia Empire." Xia Yu's eyes shone with a fiery light as he stared at Mu Chen. Back then, he was defeated by Jia Louluo.
The main reason was that the mysterious Sovereign Celestial Body that the latter had cultivated was even more overbearing than his Great Emperor Celestial Body. Therefore, according to his estimations, the might of the mysterious Sovereign Celestial Body could be ranked in the top 30 of the 99 Rankings of Sovereign Celestial Bodies!
This was an extremely terrifying ranking. Even in their Xia Empire, the highest grade Sovereign Celestial Body they possessed was only the Heavenly Son Celestial Body cultivated by his father, the Xia Emperor.
Furthermore, it was only ranked 40th.
If he could obtain the mysterious Sovereign Celestial Body that Mu Chen had cultivated, then he would be confident that he could surpass Jia Louluo and even Zhu Yan.
If he could obtain the mysterious Sovereign Celestial Body that Mu Chen had cultivated, then he would be confident that he could surpass Jia Louluo and even Zhu Yan.
Furthermore, after stepping into the Sovereign Realm, the might of the Sovereign Celestial Body would be truly displayed.
At that time, the more powerful the Sovereign Celestial Body was, the more terrifying it would be.
Therefore, he had to obtain the mysterious Sovereign Celestial Body!
"How about it?
As long as you speak, I will pay any price.
Even my Xia Empire is willing! "Xia Yu stared at Mu Chen.
However, facing his greedy gaze, Mu Chen did not speak a single word. He stomped his foot without any expression on his face. On the palm of the Great Solar Undying Body, a golden lustre floated and formed into a massive golden scepter in the blink of an eye.
"Seven Solar Sky Severing Scepter!"
Mu Chen flicked his finger and the golden scepters pierced through space. They were like a golden storm as they bolted towards Xia Yu and the Emperor Celestial Body.
Evidently, this was his answer.
"Stubborn fool!
Since that's the case, then I will torture you into a cripple and slowly interrogate it! "When Xia Yu saw this scene, a sinister expression appeared on his face.
Boom!
He swiftly formed seals with both of his hands and a boundless Sovereign Sea appeared behind him with an endless flow of Spiritual Energy pouring into the Emperor Celestial Body.
"Sovereign Ability - Emperor Scepter!"
A powerful Spiritual Energy burst out and countless beams of light shot out from the Emperor Celestial Body, forming into scepters of light that looked like scepters of a king. Thereafter, the scepters flew out as well.
The entire Heavenly River seemed to have been torn apart at this moment as two waves of attacks shot over and clashed.
Rumble!
Rumble!
In that instant of collision, it was as if countless bolts of lightning had exploded as violent Spiritual Energy wreaked havoc, lifting myriad-foot high waves in the nearby river.
Many experts were dumbfounded when they saw the violent collision. Especially when they realised that the Sovereign Celestial Body beneath Mu Chen's feet was still dazzling with golden light, without showing any signs of weakening, they couldn't help having a smear of shock in their eyes.
"Mu Chen can actually fight with Xia Yu to this extent?!"
Someone couldn't help exclaiming. After all, Xia Yu had practically unleashed his full strength at this moment. He had even executed his Sovereign Ability. But even so, he still couldn't obtain any obvious results.
"His Sovereign Celestial Body is definitely extraordinary!"
However, there were experts with keen eyesight that could tell with a glance that the reason why Mu Chen could fight with Xia Yu to this extent with his cultivation at the Initial Phase Ninth Grade Sovereign was mainly due to the mysterious Sovereign Celestial Body that he had cultivated.
"If this goes on, if Xia Yu doesn't have any other means, he might not be able to do anything to Mu Chen." An expert sighed as he looked at Mu Chen with shock in his eyes. After all, he could fight with Xia Yu with his cultivation at the Initial Phase Ninth Grade Sovereign. That alone was sufficient to prove how powerful he was.
"After this battle, the 5th position on the Expert Ranking will definitely belong to Mu Chen."
While Mu Chen and Xia Yu were engaged in an intense battle, a golden light streaked across the Heavenly Lake and flew towards the direction of the battle.
Jia Louluo stood on the Golden Dragon Plaque with his hands behind his back. There was a bronze mirror in his hand that flickered with spiritual light, displaying the intense battle between Mu Chen and Xia Yu.
"The Great Solar Undying Body that he has cultivated is different from mine. Looks like the Great Solar Undying Body is truly profound. Even if it's the same cultivation technique, the final result is different." Jia Louluo's eyes flickered as he looked at the Great Solar Undying Body in the bronze mirror.
"From the looks of it, Xia Yu will need some time to finish off Mu Chen. When that brat's Spiritual Energy is exhausted, I'll make a move and kill him."
Jia Louluo smiled. He had no intention of defeating Mu Chen fair and square. Instead, he planned to kill Mu Chen while he was at his weakest.
As for whether others would say that he had won unfairly or unscrupulously, Jia Louluo did not care at all. In this world, only the one who survived was the winner.
With that thought in mind, Jia Louluo activated the Golden Dragon Plaque in an attempt to rush to the battlefield before Xia Yu defeated Mu Chen.
Swish!
However, at this moment, Jia Louluo's eyes suddenly narrowed. He pointed two fingers at the space in front of him. Suddenly, a longsword filled with a shocking chill pierced through the space.
Clang!
The tip of his finger touched the ice sword, and the sword instantly shattered into countless pieces of ice. At the same time, a ghostly figure appeared in the void.
"A Spiritual Puppet?"
Jia Louluo looked at that silhouette with his brows knitted. He then shifted his gaze and looked into the distance. The river rippled and a silhouette flew over with a golden lustre. A brief moment later, she appeared before him.
Seeing that person, Jia Louluo's brows slightly twitched. He realised that it was the mysterious lady, Lin Jing, who had been following beside Mu Chen.
"Hey, can you just obediently collect your Spirits of the Heavenly Lake?
Don't run around. "
Lin Jing gently tossed a black pearl in her hand that seemed to be engraved with ancient and complicated runes. She cast a glance at Jia Louluo and spoke in a clear voice.
Jia Louluo looked at Lin Jing with his eyes narrowed. His gaze then stopped at the black pearl in Lin Jing's hand and his eyes narrowed.
That's because he could sense a faint dangerous aura from it.
That black pearl is actually a Saint Artifact?!
Just who is that girl?
The thing he had casually taken out was a mysterious holy artifact!
Jia Louluo's gaze flickered as he pressed down on the Golden Dragon Plaque and faintly smiled. "Even if you obstruct me, he will still die."
Xia Yu wasn't someone easy to deal with. Even if Mu Chen possessed the Great Solar Undying Body, he still wouldn't be a match for Xia Yu.
When Lin Jing heard his words, she grinned, "Why don't we make a bet?"
"Haha."
Jia Louluo smiled, but he didn't reply. Evidently, he wasn't interested in this bet. However, he did stop because he knew that even if he broke through the mysterious lady's obstruction, the battle would already be over.
"Although you've obstructed me, I'm afraid that your people won't be able to help him. Xia Yu has already invited someone." Jia Louluo raised his head and looked into the distance as he spoke in a profound tone.
At the same time, in two other locations of the Heavenly Lake.
Zhu Yan appeared before Xiao Xiao. He did not make a move, but he obstructed her path towards Mu Chen's location.
Jiu You coldly looked at Su Qingyin, who had appeared before her. The latter shrugged her shoulders and said, "Xia Yu has paid a great price to ask me to obstruct you. I don't want to be ruthless, so please don't make a move, alright?"
Jiu You's eyes were filled with coldness, but she did not make a move in the end. She stared at Su Qingyin and said word by word, "Xia Yu will die!"
