Clang!
A clear and resonant sword hum resounded in the world. As the sword hum spread out, it actually formed sound waves that could be seen with the naked eye.
It was also at this moment that a myriad of crystalline sword lustre sprayed out. The sword lustre seemed extremely gentle, without any destructive power. But when the sword lustre spread out, the Earth Sovereign Realm experts felt fearful from the bottom of their hearts.
They didn't doubt in the slightest that they would be instantly annihilated if they were swept into that sword light.
Just how powerful was that thing?
"How is this possible?!"
Under numerous shocked gazes, Lu Heng was stunned at this scene and involuntarily muttered. Wasn't the Heavenly Emperor Sword something that only the Heavenly Emperor could pull out?
Why was a Perfected Ninth Grade Sovereign kid able to do it?
Lu Heng's gaze fluctuated as he looked at the purplish-golden figure that was roughly a hundred feet behind Mu Chen. That purplish-golden figure should be Mu Chen's Sovereign Celestial Body, and he could sense a peculiar aura from it.
It was the smell of immortality.
It felt as if even if Mu Chen were to die, this Sovereign Celestial Body would still be able to withstand the erosion of time and remain eternally immortal.
"Is that the Immortal Golden Body?!"
Lu Heng squinted his eyes as he finally recognised the Sovereign Celestial Body. That's because he had high hopes for Jia Louluo. But it was a pity that Jia Louluo, whom he had high hopes for, had lost in the battle with Mu Chen.
Obviously, Mu Chen had succeeded.
"In the Ancient Haven Palace, the Heavenly Thearch once said that to become his successor, the prerequisite is to cultivate the Immortal Golden Body." Mandala looked at Lu Heng and continued, "In order to draw the Heavenly Thearch Sword, the Heavenly Thearch Sword has to be refined.
Apart from the Celestial Thearch, you have to obtain the approval of the Celestial Thearch Sword, and this approval is the Immortal Golden Body. "
"It's just that back in the Ancient Haven Palace.
In the end, no one was able to cultivate the Immortal Golden Body, so it was gradually forgotten. Someone like you naturally wouldn't know these secrets. "
Mandala sneered as she spoke.
She made a grabbing motion with her finger and countless dark runes erupted, wrapping around the demonic mouth, causing it to be unable to divert any power.
"Mu Chen, do it!"
At the same time, her low voice rang out in Mu Chen's ears.
Hearing Mandala's roar, Mu Chen tightly gripped onto the Heavenly Emperor Sword. He could sense the terrifying power flowing in the sword, and compared to this power, it's impossible to compare it to the Heavenly Emperor Sword.
The Wind God Fan in his hand was as small as a firefly.
Naturally, he knew that with his current strength, it's impossible for him to control the Heavenly Thearch Sword, even if he poured out all his Spiritual Energy and ignited his flesh.
But fortunately, the Heavenly Thearch Sword seemed to have sensed the Monarch's awakening, so there wasn't a need for Mu Chen to control it.
A sword cry soared into the sky.
Buzz!
A myriad-foot-long sword lustre surged and the Heavenly Emperor Sword turned into a sword lustre and shot out with Mu Chen at an indescribable speed.
Even the Lesser Earth Sovereigns here could only see a streak of light streaking through the sky, but they couldn't see its trajectory.
Under this terrifying speed, the Heavenly Thearch Sword had practically appeared before the 'Heavenly Thearch' in an instant and the tip of the sword trembled, wanting to pierce into the body.
Sealing it once again.
Whoosh!
When the tip of the sword pierced into the body, Mu Chen's face changed. He suddenly realised that it wasn't the 'Heavenly Thearch', but Lu Heng!
When the Heavenly Thearch Sword pierced into Lu Heng's body, a crystallised lustre surged and a terrifying sword aura gushed out, causing cracks to appear on Lu Heng's body in an instant.
What left Mu Chen horrified was that Lu Heng, who should be in another direction, suddenly appeared before him with disbelief and pain on his face.
Evidently, he wasn't intending to come out and use his body to block the destructive sword.
If he wasn't the one who took the initiative, then could it be the Monarch?!
Mu Chen abruptly narrowed his eyes and saw Mandala and the other top-tiered powerhouses having extreme shock on their faces.
It was as if they had seen something terrifying.
Clatter.
While Mu Chen's heart was in turmoil, a slender hand suddenly came from behind and gently placed on Lu Heng's shoulder.
"Haha, you've done well."
A gentle chuckle came from behind Lu Heng, before a figure walked out. He was wearing a green robe and had long hair. It was the Heavenly Emperor!
At this moment, his eyes were completely opened. His eyes were pitch-black and contained the evilest aura in the world.
He had actually been revived!
Lu Heng turned his head with great difficulty and looked at the 'Heavenly Thearch'. His lips moved as if he was asking for help. The sword aura in his body was about to destroy him.
"Don't worry. How can I let my benefactor die so easily?"
The 'Heavenly Thearch' smiled before he clapped his hand again. Instantly, a boundless black demonic aura gushed out from his palm and poured into Lu Heng's body, dissipating the sword aura in his body.
Although he had helped Lu Heng expel the sword aura, the latter's body had been completely demonised. The surface of his body was covered in sinister demonic runes and the torrential demonic aura had transformed Lu Heng's body. Furthermore, Lu Heng could sense that the Spiritual Energy in his body was swiftly being corroded and gradually turned into an evil demonic aura.
The heavens and earth had started to reject him, causing him to no longer be able to absorb Spiritual Energy from the heavens and earth.
He had already been treated as an anomaly in the Great Thousand World.
Sensing the changes in his body, Lu Heng's gaze briefly changed. In the end, he humbly lowered his head towards the 'Heavenly Thearch'. "Thank you, Master, for allowing me to be reborn!"
When the sword aura in Lu Heng's body was destroyed, Mu Chen had immediately retracted his sword and retreated with a dark expression. He never expected that the Monarch would come back to life. At this moment, the situation had completely spiralled out of their control.
Mandala's face was also tensed up and the other top-tiered experts had panic written on their faces.
There was even panic on his face. The person in front of him was the Fiend Race's Demon Emperor!
It was so much so that even the Heavenly Thearch, who stood at the pinnacle of the Great Thousand World, could only seal him.
Now that such an existence had been released, the rest of them wouldn't even be enough to fill the gaps between his teeth.
After the Monarch turned Lu Heng into a demonic body, he lazily stretched his waist and smiled. "The Heavenly Thearch is truly a formidable figure.
The Three Pures are truly formidable. If it wasn't for my good luck, I might have been killed by him. "
As he spoke, his pitch-black eyes turned towards the peak experts present, and he immediately said with satisfaction, "But to be able to see so much flesh and blood as soon as I resurrect, it's really something to be happy about."
"Run!"
Some of the top-tiered experts' faces drastically changed. They couldn't hold it in any longer and the Spiritual Energy in their bodies violently burst out.
They tried their best to flee from the Heavenly Thearch Cemetery.
Facing their escape, the Monarch ridiculed before he widened his mouth and a dense demonic aura swept out. It was like a storm that chased after those top-tiered experts. When the demonic aura swept out, miserable shrieks resounded before they were blown back.
They were turned into blood and flesh that was devoured by the Monarch.
"It wasn't easy for me to revive, so let me eat my fill first." The Monarch chuckled as he stretched his hand out.
Innumerable torrents of demonic aura swept out, turning into demonic dragons that roared as they pounced towards the many experts present.
In an instant, the entire region was in chaos.
Mandala was also held back by ten-odd demonic pythons. Even with her cultivation as a Perfected Earth Sovereign, she could only protect herself.
Boom!
Mu Chen brandished the Heavenly Emperor Sword in his hand.
Although he couldn't utilise the sword's power, he could barely protect himself with the power of the sword. However, he was still in a pathetic state.
Amidst the chaos, the Monarch Monarch smiled with his eyes narrowed as he occasionally raised his hand. Every single time he raised his hand, there would be a Demonic Aura that swept a top-tiered expert into his mouth before being devoured.
After devouring several Lesser Earth Sovereigns, his gaze swept towards Xiao Xiao, Lin Jing, and Jiu You and smiled. "What tender girls. Let me see if your flesh is fresh."
He gently smiled and pointed his finger out. Instantly, a demonic aura pierced through space and enveloped the three ladies.
Sensing the sudden attack, the three ladies' faces drastically changed. Facing such an existence, they didn't even have the chance to escape.
Rustle!
But when the current of demonic aura swept over, Mu Chen's silhouette charged out and stood before the three ladies with a golden lustre flickering on the Heavenly Emperor Sword as he stood before the three ladies.
Boom!
As the demonic aura swept over, Mu Chen's clothes were instantly reduced to ashes. The demonic aura was like a sharp blade that left deep wounds on his body. If it wasn't for the Heavenly Emperor Sword protecting him, he would have been reduced to ashes by the demonic aura.
But even so, his body violently trembled. He was on the verge of collapsing, and the moment he collapsed, he would undoubtedly die.
When Xiao Xiao, Lin Jing, and Jiu You saw that Mu Chen was instantly riddled with holes by the demonic aura, their faces drastically changed.
"Mu Chen!"
Their voices were filled with worry and anxiety.
"Let's go!"
Mu Chen's eyes turned red as he roared. At this moment, he didn't have any strength left. Thus, he could only let the three ladies escape as soon as possible.
Although he knew that it was akin to a mantis trying to stop a chariot, he couldn't possibly watch the three of them die before him. Even if they had to die, he had to die first.
"Haha, what a touching scene. If you want to die first, then you can go ahead and die."
The Monarch chuckled at this scene before flicking his finger. Instantly, an endless demonic aura whistled over like a smoke signal that wanted to kill Mu Chen.
Facing the torrential and terrifying demonic aura, even Mu Chen felt despair this time. If such an existence were to take another glance at him, he would be reduced to dust.
Boom!
As the demonic aura surged over, it filled his eyes, causing Mu Chen's vision to turn dark.
Is this the end?
Boom!
Mu Chen's eyelids gradually drooped from the demonic aura. Just when his vision was about to turn dark, a roar suddenly resounded between the heavens and earth. Thereafter, endless flames swept out from the void. The flames were indescribably overbearing. It was so much so that even the terrifying demonic aura was swiftly evaporated under the flames.
Whoosh!
It was like a blazing meteor that pierced through space and smashed before Mu Chen.
As the flames spread out, Mu Chen could finally see what was before him. On the ground, there was a massive black ruler that was quietly stabbed into the ground. The ruler was blazing with flames that evaporated all of the demonic aura.
At the same time, a lazy laughter suddenly resounded between the heavens and earth.
"Hey, you might be a Monarch, but you can't bully my precious daughter, right?"
