Rustle!
Countless rays of blood-red light shot out from the thick blood cloud above the Spirit-Slaughtering Army. Those rays of blood-red light pierced through the void and connected with each other, vaguely emitting a terrifying fluctuation.
Mu Chen's expression turned grave as his seals constantly changed. Boundless Battle Will formed into a bloody light that constantly condensed. The bloody light gradually formed into a massive Spiritual Array above the palace.
It was a Battle Formation!
It was a Battle Formation that belonged to the Spirit-Slaughtering Army, the Spirit-Slaughtering Battle Formation!
Mu Chen wasn't unfamiliar with this Battle Formation. That's because the eight Earth Sovereigns that the Spirit-Slaughtering Army annihilated had all fallen in this Battle Formation. Thus, one could tell how terrifying this Battle Formation was.
Although the Spirit-Slaughtering Army wasn't at its peak, Elder Zuo's current state was also inferior to the eight Earth Sovereigns that were annihilated.
Hence, when the blood-red colour filled the hall, countless blood light gushed out and a frightening battle formation was vaguely visible, the left-hand elder's expression turned exceptionally dark and solemn.
His eyelids faintly trembled as intense shock surged from the depths of his eyes.
The current situation had obviously far exceeded his expectations. He had never thought that the rabbit that he could easily pinch to death could actually turn around and become a ferocious tiger that could devour people.
The blood-red battle formation before him made him smell the scent of death. If he wasn't careful today, it was likely that he would really die here.
Thinking about this, Elder Zuo felt that it was ridiculous. He was actually forced to the corner of death by a Perfected Ninth Grade Sovereign brat.
But no matter how ridiculous he felt in his heart, he knew that it was ridiculous.
If he didn't deal with it, he was afraid that he would really fall here with this comical expression.
"Brat, you're too much!"
Elder Zuo hollered.
In the next instant, he fiercely stomped his feet as an earth-shattering and frightening Spiritual Energy erupted from his body. As the Spiritual Energy gathered, it formed into a Spiritual Energy light figure that seemed to be touching the heavens and the earth behind him.
The silhouette breathed in and out.
As he breathed in and out, the entire world seemed to be suppressed by him.
Looking at that silhouette, Mu Chen's face slightly changed. He could sense that that silhouette should be the Sovereign Celestial Body that Elder Zuo had cultivated.
When the Sovereign Celestial Body appeared, Elder Zuo suddenly let out a deep roar and opened his mouth. Then, an unbelievable scene appeared.
The giant shadow was swallowed into his body in one gulp.
Elder Zuo actually devoured his Sovereign Celestial Body?!
Boom!
While Mu Chen was astonished, Elder Zuo's body suddenly expanded. In just a few breaths' time, he had turned into a thousand-foot tall giant with Spiritual Energy runes covering his body. Every single rune was condensed from dense Spiritual Energy.
Huff!
Elder Zuo stood between the heavens and earth.
As he breathed in and out, clouds were formed with violent gales within the clouds.
Thunderous rumbles resounded endlessly.
At this moment, Elder Zuo seemed to be the controller of this heavens and earth. He could create everything as a profound feeling emanated from him.
[TL Note]
"This is the rumoured Sovereign Celestial Body."
The Sovereign Immortal Body that only an Earth Sovereign can refine? "Mu Chen looked at Elder Zuo's giant figure and couldn't help taking a deep breath.
It was said that after stepping into the Earth Sovereign Realm, the Sovereign Celestial Body would gradually change. At that time, the physical body and Sovereign Celestial Body would fuse together. The product of the fusion would no longer be a Sovereign Celestial Body, but an Immortal Body.
The Sovereign Immortal Body would be the law.
"Spiritual Energy Deprivation!"
Elder Zuo roared as he pointed at Mu Chen.
A profound fluctuation spread out between the heavens and earth. At this moment, Mu Chen suddenly felt that the Spiritual Energy between the heavens and earth seemed to be resisting him, causing him to be unable to absorb the slightest bit of Spiritual Energy between the heavens and earth.
"This is the law of an Earth Sovereign?"
Mu Chen's face turned grave. If he was an ordinary Perfected Ninth Grade Sovereign, he would have fallen into a desperate situation from Elder Zuo's words.
The gap between an Earth Sovereign and a Perfected Ninth Grade Sovereign was truly huge.
But fortunately, he did not intend to rely on his own Spiritual Energy in this battle. He relied on the Battle Will of the Spirit-Slaughtering Army. Evidently, with Elder Zuo's ability, he couldn't deprive the Battle Will of the Spirit-Slaughtering Army.
"Lightning!"
Elder Zuo roared once again and innumerable bolts of lightning roared like dragons. They appeared out of nowhere and swept towards Mu Chen with destructive power.
Facing such a violent attack, Mu Chen did not dare to be careless. He immediately circulated his Battle Will to form layers of defences that were akin to a tortoise shell, protecting the Spirit-Slaughtering Battle Formation that had yet to be fully formed.
Boom! Boom!
Boom! Violent attacks endlessly descended, pushing the layers of blood-red clouds back. However, the blood-red clouds were endlessly gushing out and were extremely tenacious.
"Wind!
Fire!
Mountain! "
At this moment, Elder Zuo unleashed an even more violent attack. The Spiritual Energy in this region had been mobilized by him, forming into a frightening attack of wind and fire. With a destructive attitude, it wreaked havoc towards Mu Chen.
Under the attacks, the Crimson Battle Will had also started to retreat.
But when the blood-red Battle Will was pushed back, there wasn't much panic in Mu Chen's eyes. That's because the Spirit-Slaughtering Battle Formation had started to take form. With Elder Zuo's current state, even with the Sovereign Immortal Body, he couldn't break through the protection of the Spirit-Slaughtering Army's Battle Will.
Elder Zuo had also sensed this and his face grew even darker with unwillingness and rage in his eyes. He never expected that even after summoning his Sovereign Immortal Body, he still couldn't suppress Mu Chen.
The destructive attacks in this region had gradually weakened.
Mu Chen raised his head and indifferently looked at Elder Zuo before waving his hand. Instantly, the layers of crimson clouds that enveloped him dissipated, revealing a crimson Battle Formation that had been formed and was emitting a ferocious aura.
"It's impolite not to reciprocate. Elder Zuo, please have a taste of my Battle Formation."
Mu Chen smiled, but there wasn't much warmth in his eyes. He abruptly clenched his fist and the blood-red Battle Formation burst out with an unparalleled bloody lustre. The bloody lustre soared into the sky and had immediately dyed this region red.
The crimson lustre constantly spread out and was about to envelop Elder Zuo.
The moment he entered the envelopment of the Battle Formation, Mu Chen intended to activate the Battle Formation and unleash its full power.
The crimson lustre swiftly expanded in Elder Zuo's eyes and his face started to fluctuate. A few breaths later, he took a deep breath and his massive figure instantly shrunk back to normal. Thereafter, he stomped his foot, causing the surrounding space to distort and his silhouette turned into a streak of light that soared into the sky.
Boom!
The ceiling of the hall shattered and Mu Chen was dumbfounded as he watched the streak of light swiftly disappear from his sight.
That Elder Zuo actually escaped?!
Mu Chen was dumbfounded at this scene. Wasn't that an Earth Sovereign Realm?
He escaped just like that?
Mu Chen was stunned for a long time before he gradually recovered and felt depressed. He had brought out all the trump cards of the Spirit-Slaughtering Army and was prepared to go all out. But in the end, Elder Zuo actually chose to escape.
It made Mu Chen feel as if he had punched cotton.
"How decisive."
Mu Chen sighed. He could only give such an evaluation. Earth Sovereigns were truly decisive. The moment they saw that the situation wasn't right, they chose the most rational method.
Elder Zuo was in a terrible state, and if they fought, perhaps Mu Chen would have to pay a price. But the one that would suffer the most would be himself. It was so much so that he might even fall here.
Thus, after a brief consideration, Elder Zuo chose the former without any hesitation between his mission and his life.
Even if he was punished by Lu Heng, it wouldn't take his life. But right now, Mu Chen dared to take his life.
"What a pity."
Mu Chen shook his head in pity. He initially wanted to witness the might of the Spirit-Slaughtering Army when they unleashed the Spirit-Slaughtering Battle Formation.
But it only lasted for a brief moment before he felt relieved. After all, it wasn't easy to fight an Earth Sovereign. Since that old fellow could retreat, it was a good outcome for Mu Chen.
Forcing a Lesser Earth Sovereign to retreat, if this achievement was spread back to the Greatlaw Continent, Mu Chen's name would definitely be famous in the Greatlaw Continent.
Mu Chen sighed before he waved his hand and the crimson Battle Will dissipated. Raising the Army Seal, he stored the Spirit-Slaughtering Army and appeared before the stone gate.
Behind the stone gate should be where Mandala's main body was.
After a brief pondering, Mu Chen tensed his body and no longer hesitated. He stretched his hands out and slowly pushed open the stone gate that had been shut for tens of thousands of years.
Along with the opening of the stone gate, an ancient aura blew out.
As the light spread through the opened stone door, Mu Chen's line of sight immediately shot over. Thereafter, at the end of the dilapidated plaza, he saw a pitch-black ancient bewitching flower.
