Boom!
In the sky of the battlefield, an indescribable Battle Will swept out with a million bloody lights gushing out. Every single one of them had caused Mu Chen's heart to tremble. If he was here with his original body, he would definitely be annihilated without even a speck of him remaining.
This was the power of the Spirit-Slaughtering Army at its peak?
Boom!
Space shattered and while Mu Chen was shocked, the crimson Battle Will had already whistled over and slammed against 'Mu Chen'.
In that instant when he was struck, an intense pain surged from the depths of his soul, causing Mu Chen to shriek uncontrollably. That terrifying attack even made him feel as if he was about to be destroyed.
Boom!
Rumble!
A few hundred thousand feet of the sky practically collapsed at this moment with countless cracks spreading out. Thereafter, Mu Chen could see his aged silhouette crumbling under the attack.
Just like that, the former Earth Supreme fell to the Spirit-Slaughtering Army!
As his vision gradually turned dark, Mu Chen's consciousness seemed to be experiencing a terrifying cleansing that brought about an unimaginable pain that nearly made Mu Chen go insane.
But just when Mu Chen couldn't bear it anymore, the intense pain finally dissipated and he realised that the surrounding scenery had changed once again.
However, there was still a terrifying troop around him that was donned in heavy armour. His silhouette had also turned into a middle-aged man.
But the same thing was that the middle-aged man's body also contained a terrifying power. Evidently, he was also an Earth Sovereign Realm existence.
Looking at this scene, Mu Chen understood what was going on. Perhaps those illusions belonged to those Earth Sovereigns that the Spirit-Slaughtering Army had once suppressed.
Could it be that he was going to experience the fall of those Earth Sovereigns?
Thinking about this, Mu Chen couldn't help feeling bitter in his mouth. The intense pain from earlier.
It was truly unforgettable for him. If it was someone with a weak mind, just one experience would be enough to drive him crazy.
However, Mu Chen could sense that after experiencing the Spirit-Slaughtering Army's Battle Will and destruction, the Spirit-Slaughtering Army's Battle Will had weakened.
Gradually, he was more in tune with the fighting spirit of the Spirit-Slaughtering Army.
Therefore, this should be a test of the Spirit-Slaughtering Army's battle intent. As long as he could withstand it, he would be able to use the commander's seal to unleash the true power of the Spirit-Slaughtering Army.
"In that case, bring it on!"
Mu Chen fiercely clenched his teeth as he relaxed his tensed body. At this moment, all of his defences were useless. Since that's the case.
Then he would enjoy the destructive battle intent of the Spirit-Slaughtering Army!
Boom!
Boundless blood-red Battle Will gathered in the sky like a blood-red blazing sun. It suddenly fell down and bombarded the body of 'Mu Chen'.
The excruciating pain that felt like he was about to be destroyed once again flooded Mu Chen's mind.
Boom!
Boom!
Over the next period of time, Mu Chen started to experience destruction time and time again. In the end, he felt intense pain.
In the end, the intense pain had penetrated deep into his bones.
As for Mu Chen, he had experienced it a total of eight times.
That meant that there were eight Earth Sovereigns that had fallen in the hands of the Spirit-Slaughtering Army.
A total of eight.
This made Mu Chen inwardly shocked, since he knew how difficult it was to destroy an Earth Sovereign. Even if they couldn't defeat an elite troop, if they wanted to escape …
Then they still had many means.
But right now, the eight Earth Sovereigns did not manage to escape and had fallen instead.
Thus, one could see how ferocious the Spirit-Slaughtering Army was at its peak.
As Mu Chen sighed in his heart, he felt relieved. After the eighth wave of the Spirit-Slaughtering Army's Battle Will, space had started to shatter.
Mu Chen's will had also swiftly returned at this moment.
Poof!
In the giant hall, Mu Chen's tightly shut eyes abruptly opened as he spurted a mouthful of blood. The veins on his forehead twitched, making his handsome face look a little sinister.
The intense pain from before had also descended onto his body along with the return of his will.
Huff!
Mu Chen panted heavily. After a long while, his tightly clenched fist finally loosened up. He rubbed his forehead with his trembling hand and couldn't help letting out a bitter laugh.
The previous wave of Battle Will had left him fearful. But it was also because of this that he could clearly sense the ferocity of the Spirit-Slaughtering Army's Battle Will.
Those were Earth Supreme-Level existences, and they had killed eight of them just like that!
If the Battle Will was placed in the current Greatlaw Continent, any top-tiered force would have to keep quiet out of fear.
But what made Mu Chen rejoice was that he had managed to endure the wave of Battle Will. At this moment, he could vaguely sense that there was a subtle connection between him and the Spirit-Slaughtering Army.
Furthermore, Mu Chen's hand that was holding onto his forehead suddenly stopped with disbelief in his eyes.
The reason for that was because at that moment, he was shocked to discover that his will was rapidly growing stronger like a rising tide.
Mu Chen's eyes had turned sparkling once again with a bizarre lustre spreading out. His will had swept out and formed into layers of Battle Runes that had exceeded 750,000!
750,000 Battle Runes?!
Mu Chen couldn't help widening his mouth. In just ten-odd minutes, how did the number of Battle Runes that he had refined grow so much?
"Is it because of the wave of Battle Will from the Spirit-Slaughtering Army?!"
Mu Chen soon figured it out. It must be because of the wave of Battle Will that he had endured. Although it had brought him indescribable pain, it had also given him an unimaginable reward.
That was an increase of 150,000 Battle Runes!
If Mu Chen were to cultivate, he would probably need close to half a year's time. This was still due to his outstanding talent. But now, that half a year's time was completed in a dozen minutes.
Joy rose in Mu Chen's heart as he grinned. With his will and the Army Seal, the Spirit-Slaughtering Army would be able to shine in his hands.
Thinking that he would be able to use the Spirit-Slaughtering Army, he couldn't help feeling excited in his heart. With this troop, even if he had yet to step into the Earth Sovereign Realm, he would be able to confront a Lesser Earth Sovereign with the strength of this troop.
Confront an Earth Sovereign!
Mu Chen tightly pursed his lips. At this moment, even he couldn't help sighing. In the past, Earth Sovereigns were unreachable existences in his eyes.
He had been working hard for that realm.
And right now, he finally possessed the power of that realm.
Although he needed the help of the Spirit-Slaughtering Army, as a Battle Formation Master, everyone knew that they were one with the army. Only by combining the two could they unleash their true power.
Mu Chen stood up and looked at the heavily armored troop before him. He raised the Army Seal, which flickered and was about to bring the Spirit-Slaughtering Army away.
There was a small space in the Army Seal that could bring the Spirit-Slaughtering Army in. However, the prerequisite was that they had to be Corpse Soldiers without any vitality.
As the Army Seal enveloped the Spirit-Slaughtering Army, Mu Chen felt a slight resistance.
"Mhm?"
Mu Chen was stunned. That resistance should be left behind by some sort of obsession. The Spirit-Slaughtering Army didn't seem to be willing to leave. They wanted to guard this place even if they died.
This sudden change surprised Mu Chen and he knitted his brows. If he couldn't bring the Spirit-Slaughtering Army away, then he would be returning empty-handed.
He naturally wouldn't allow that to happen.
"Obsession?"
Mu Chen muttered to himself. After a brief moment of silence, he suddenly turned around and looked at the silhouette of the Second Palace Master. Thereafter, he came before the Second Palace Master and slightly bent his body, giving a respectful bow of a junior.
"Senior, the glory of the Spirit-Slaughtering Army shouldn't be covered by dust. This Junior is willing to lead them to fight the Fiend Clans in the future. So I hope that Senior can fulfill my wish!"
Mu Chen's voice resounded in the hall, followed by a long silence.
He raised his head and looked at the Second Hall Master's face. At that moment, he seemed to have seen the Second Hall Master's chin gently nodding.
It seemed to be an illusion, but it wasn't entirely so. From a certain degree, it should be the remnant obsession of the Second Hall Master.
Boom!
The Spirit-Slaughtering Army knelt on one knee. Their bodies and instincts were driving them to do this. This time, they weren't kneeling to the Army Seal, but the Second Hall Master.
At this moment, Mu Chen could sense that the obsession that enveloped the Spirit-Slaughtering Army had disappeared, which made him feel relieved. Indeed, not only did he need the Army Seal to bring the Spirit-Slaughtering Army away, but he also needed the Second Hall Master's approval.
He bowed to the Second Palace Master once again and waved the Commander's Seal in his hand. A halo spread out and the two thousand Spirit-Slaughtering Army soared into the sky and entered the Commander's Seal.
When the last ray of light entered the Army Seal, Mu Chen carefully stored it. Thereafter, he no longer hesitated as he turned around and walked out of the hall.
He had already obtained the Spirit-Slaughtering Army, so it was time for him to bring Mandala's main body out.
