Boom!
Violent Spiritual Energy shock waves wreaked havoc in the Heavenly Lake. Every single shock wave made the Pinnacle Ninth Grade Sovereigns feel their scalps going numb. They knew that if they were the ones being attacked, they would probably fall on the spot, even if they brought out all their might.
That's right.
Thus, one could tell how terrifying the fighting strength of Mu Chen, who was only at the Initial Phase Ninth Grade Sovereign Realm, was.
Many experts sighed in their hearts as they raised their heads to look at the violent battlefield in the distance. The two massive Sovereign Celestial Bodies were devouring boundless Spiritual Energy with terrifying Spiritual Energy attacks whistling out in every direction as they charged towards the other party in the most barbaric manner.
The ferocious attacks were practically earth-shattering. Thus, it was also a great exhaustion of Spiritual Energy. Initially, when Xia Yu saw that he couldn't swiftly defeat Mu Chen, he had given up on using swift means and switched to exhausting the other party.
After all, he was a genuine Perfected Ninth Grade Sovereign, just a step away from the Earth Sovereign Realm. So in terms of Spiritual Energy, he was definitely stronger than Mu Chen.
Thus, as long as he dragged this on, he believed that he should be able to drag Mu Chen's Spiritual Energy dry up.
However, even if his thoughts were beautiful, as the intense confrontation continued, he gradually realised that the Great Solar Undying Body beneath Mu Chen's feet was still dazzling. The Spiritual Energy was like an ocean, boundless and boundless.
The latter's Spiritual Energy seemed to be endless and wasn't at all inferior to a Perfected Ninth Grade Sovereign like him.
"How is that possible?!"
Xia Yu's face was pale. He naturally had no idea that Mu Chen's Spiritual Energy had fused with the Undying Flames, thus possessing the characteristic of endlessness.
Thus, the difficulty of dragging Mu Chen's Spiritual Energy dry up had far exceeded Xia Yu's imagination.
"That fellow's Sovereign Celestial Body is too powerful, and the might of his Sovereign Celestial Body is even more terrifying.
If we want to kill him, we have to separate him from his avatar and kill him alone! "
However, Xia Yu was not an ordinary person after all. In such a situation, he still found a way to break the deadlock. The main reason why Mu Chen could contend with him to this extent with the strength of Level Nine was the existence of the mysterious Dharmakaya.
As long as he could isolate that mysterious doppelganger, Xia Yu believed that he would be able to do so.
It shouldn't be difficult for him to kill Mu Chen.
Isolating Mu Chen from the Sovereign Celestial Body, Xia Yu had his own means to accomplish it. However, what made him slightly hesitate was that he had initially reserved this method to deal with Jia Louluo. If he were to use it here, he would have to use it.
After that, Jia Louluo would definitely be wary of him.
This hesitation continued for several breaths of time.
Then, he was decisively eliminated by Xia Yu. As long as he could capture Mu Chen and interrogate him for the cultivation method of that mysterious Dharma Body, the rewards would definitely be worth it.
Huff.
Having made up his mind, Xia Yu immediately looked at Mu Chen with a vicious gaze.
He bit the tip of his tongue and a mouthful of fresh blood spurted out. The fresh blood gathered before him and a smear of dark light started to emit from it.
As the dark light appeared, it swiftly expanded.
It had actually formed into a black jade seal. On the jade seal, there seemed to be endless mountains and rivers engraved on it, emitting a heavy aura that caused even space to shatter at this moment, as if it couldn't bear its weight.
"That's the National Treasure of the Xia Empire, the Mountain River's Seal?" When the experts saw the black jade seal, they were instantly startled as they exclaimed in shock.
"How is that possible?!
The Mountain River's Seal is a Middle Rank Saint Artifact that can only be used by Earth Sovereigns. Furthermore, this treasure is personally controlled by the Xia Emperor, so how can he hand it over to Xia Yu? If it's stolen, the Xia Empire will definitely suffer a great loss! "
"That's not the genuine Mountain River's Seal!
It should be the Little Mountain River's Seal that was refined by the Xia Emperor. It's said that there's a limit to the number of times it can be used, but its might is comparable to a Low Rank Saint Artifact! "
However, there were experts with keen eyesight and experience that could see through it after a brief pondering.
"Even if it's an imitation of the Mountain River's Seal, the might is still terrifying. Looks like Xia Yu has made up his mind to kill Mu Chen, to even bring out such a trump card."
Someone sighed. This was clearly the trump card that Xia Yu had been hiding, but it was forced out at this moment.
Amidst the commotion, Mu Chen was also looking at the black jade seal as he narrowed his eyes. So it was the treasure of the Xia Empire, the replica of the Mountain River's Ruler's Ruler's Seal?
Xia Yu truly had a trump card!
"You can be proud to be able to force me to this step!"
Xia Yu's face was dark as he looked at Mu Chen. In the next instant, he abruptly formed seals with both of his hands. The black jade seal lightly trembled and the mountain and river runes on the surface of the jade seal seemed to have turned into a real object with an uproar resounding. It was like a country.
"Mountain River's Seal - Mountain River Barrier!"
Xia Yu flicked his finger on the jade seal and a crisp buzzing noise resounded. Everyone could see the map on the Mountain River's Seal shoot out, forming into a barrier that descended from the sky and enveloped the Great Solar Undying Body.
In that instant when the barrier enveloped over, Mu Chen instantly sensed that his connection with the Great Solar Undying Body had been cut off.
Thus, the boundless Spiritual Energy that burst out from Mu Chen's body had been greatly weakened.
Mu Chen's expression turned grave at this moment. The barrier was too sudden. Even if he had his guard up, the barrier had penetrated through all of his defences and enveloped the Great Solar Undying Body.
"It's actually a Saint Artifact that's used to deal with Sovereign Celestial Bodies?"
Mu Chen was a little startled. This was the first time that he had seen such a Saint Artifact. Thus, one could tell how powerful the Mountain River's Seal was. If he could use it to seal his opponent's Sovereign Celestial Body, then he would practically be invincible.
It was no wonder why the Xia Emperor was so famous in the Greatlaw Continent. So it turned out that he had such a powerful Saint Artifact. Just a replica was already so powerful, so it was hard to imagine how powerful the genuine Mountain River's Seal would be.
"Mu Chen, I'm afraid that it's too late to regret it now!"
Seeing Mu Chen's grave expression, Xia Yu coldly smiled. At this point in time, it was impossible for Mu Chen to escape.
Mu Chen's gaze flickered. Although the situation had changed, he wasn't too panicked in his heart. Although the Mountain River's Seal was powerful, he also had the Wind God's Fan in his hand. If he brought out the Wind God's Fan, then he would definitely be able to destroy the barrier.
However, Mu Chen did not do so immediately. After all, the Wind God's Fan was his trump card, and he didn't want to use it here, since he still had to deal with Jia Louluo in the future.
Boom!
As thoughts circulated in Mu Chen's heart, Xia Yu did not hesitate and stomped his feet. The Emperor Celestial Body beneath his feet burst forth with myriad feet of spiritual light. Boundless Spiritual Energy endlessly poured into Xia Yu's body, causing his body to swell up, looking like a giant. Furthermore, there were Spiritual Energy runes on the surface of his body that fluctuated with terrifying undulations.
Creak.
Xia Yu slowly clenched his fist, emitting ear-piercing noises. He looked at Mu Chen with a sinister smile on the corner of his lips. Mu Chen had lost the power of his Sovereign Celestial Body, while he could borrow the power of the Emperor Celestial Body. Thus, the two of them weren't on the same level.
The outcome had already been decided.
Boom!
With a sinister smile, Xia Yu's silhouette soared, turning into a streak of light that shot towards Mu Chen. Along the way, afterimages constantly appeared and his speed brought along ear-piercing sonic booms.
"Emperor Fist!"
Xia Yu roared as he threw a fist forth. Instantly, boundless Spiritual Energy gushed out. At this moment, he was like a blazing sun that burst out with a terrifying Spiritual Energy pressure. On the blazing sun, there seemed to be a dignified face that looked like an emperor.
A terrifying pressure enveloped over, causing Mu Chen to feel a stinging pain all over his body. On the surface of his body, the True Dragon and Phoenix Spirits roamed as they roared. Clearly, they had sensed the danger.
If he was struck by that fist, even with Mu Chen's powerful physique, he would still suffer a fatal injury.
Many experts in the distance sighed in pity. This time, Mu Chen was probably going to fall here for real.
The Emperor Fist swiftly expanded in Mu Chen's eyes. The deathly aura caused Mu Chen's eyes to swiftly narrow. However, unexpectedly, he did not retreat. He still stood on the spot without moving.
"You must be scared silly!" When Xia Yu saw this scene, a ridiculing smile rose on the corner of his lips.
However, Mu Chen paid no attention to it as he sensed the deathly aura. Thereafter, he slowly closed his eyes under everyone's astonished gazes, as if he had given up on resisting.
"He's given up."
Many experts sighed. After losing his Sovereign Celestial Body, Mu Chen clearly knew that he couldn't confront Xia Yu right now.
However, just when they were thinking about this, Mu Chen's tightly shut eyes abruptly opened. But this time, his pitch-black eyes were filled with veins of blood.
An indescribable killing aura violently gathered in Mu Chen's body.
Under Xia Yu's fist, Mu Chen had once again sensed the deathly aura.
If he wanted to break out of this situation, then he could only do so through death!
Mu Chen slowly clenched his fist as torrential killing aura burst out from his body. At this moment, even the water of the Heavenly Lake had been dyed red by the killing aura.
Mu Chen raised his fist and slowly threw out a punch.
However, when such a simple punch was thrown out, the water of the Heavenly Lake had exploded.
An aura of sacrificing oneself to become a demon soared into the sky.
Sacrificing my demonic body to destroy the present and the past!
Self-Sacrificial Demonic Fist!
