Nine massive Spiritual Energy dragons hovered in the sky as terrifying Spiritual Energy ripples spread out from their bodies like surging waves, causing even space to distort.
Amongst the nine dragons, the fiery-robed man's face was extremely unsightly as he looked at Mu Chen, who had a smile on his face. How could he not know that he had fallen into Mu Chen's trap?
Mu Chen's pathetic escape was all an act!
"What a cunning brat!" The fiery-robed man cursed.
With a smile, Mu Chen couldn't be bothered to speak anymore. "Hand over your Battle Seals."
"Dream on!
Do you think that you can defeat me, the Firecloud King, with a Spiritual Array? "
The fiery-robed man ridiculed. Although the Spiritual Array before him was extraordinary, Mu Chen was only a Lesser Earth Sovereign. At most, he would drag him into a battle. At that time, it wouldn't be easy for Mu Chen to get what he wanted.
Boom!
Thinking about it, a scarlet Spiritual Energy burst out from the Firecloud King's body, dying the sky red and the temperature in this region swiftly rose.
Mu Chen faintly smiled. If his Nine Dragon God-Killing Array could only form seven dragons, then it wouldn't pose a threat to a Greater Earth Sovereign.
But the Nine Dragon God-Killing Array had reached its complete form.
To set up the complete Nine Dragon God-Killing Array, Mu Chen had failed several times. In the end, he had to rely on the crystal pagoda to convert and amplify the Spiritual Energy in his body before he succeeded.
The Nine Dragon God-Killing Array was a Middle Rank Scholar Grade Spiritual Array, to begin with. If it was completely set up, it could confront a Greater Earth Sovereign. Furthermore, there was a slight change in the Nine Dragon God-Killing Array in Mu Chen's hands, so it should have an extraordinary effect.
Roar!
Thinking about it, Mu Chen gently waved his hand and triggered the massive Spiritual Array. In the next instant, nine dragons roared towards the sky and opened their mouths. Nine Spiritual Energy dragon breaths swept out like a torrent towards the Firecloud King.
Wherever the dragon's breath passed, the space would shatter, displaying its extremely domineering destructive power.
Although the Firecloud King's words were sharp, he did not dare to underestimate the Spiritual Array. He waved his hand and the crimson clouds that enveloped this mountain range flew over and formed into a barrier that revolved around him. Blazing flames constantly surged on the barrier, causing space to distort from the heat.
Bang!
Bang!
The Dragon Breath swept over and heavily bombarded the Fire Cloud Cover. Immediately, sparks flew everywhere and ripples spread out crazily. The Fire Cloud Cover was on the verge of collapse.
"Hmph, that's all you got?
You want to break my Fire Cloud Spiritual Shield? "
Seeing that the Dragon Breath was obstructed, the Firecloud King sneered and flames gradually gathered beneath his feet. As his gaze flickered, he intended to use the Fire Shuttle Art to leave the Spiritual Array.
At this moment, he had also given up on snatching Mu Chen. After all, with this Spiritual Array, Mu Chen was practically in an invincible position, so there was no point in continuing to fight.
"It's actually a defensive Low Rank Saint Artifact!"
Mu Chen looked at the Fire Cloud Cover around the Firecloud King and was slightly astonished. Although this defensive Saint Artifact was weaker in terms of attack, it was extremely effective in defence.
"My Nine Dragon God-Killing Array is a Pinnacle Middle Rank Scholar Grade Spiritual Array. I'm afraid that a Low Rank Saint Artifact won't be able to protect you." Mu Chen smiled as he formed seals with a single hand.
"Nine Dragon God-Killing Array - Nine Dragons Fuse into One - Immortal Devouring Dragon!"
As Mu Chen's hand seals changed, the Spiritual Array changed once again. Millions of spiritual lights burst out from the nine dragons as they shot out and fused together.
As the radiance surged, the nine dragons swiftly disappeared. A few breaths later, a rainbow-coloured dragon that was only a few feet in size appeared in the Spiritual Array.
The little dragon was multicolored and looked as if it was embedded with a gorgeous gem, looking extremely gorgeous. However, the Firecloud King's face drastically changed when he saw it.
That's because he could sense the terrifying Spiritual Energy contained in the small dragon. The Spiritual Energy was so powerful that even a Greater Earth Sovereign like him felt fearful.
"Although this Mu Chen is only a Lesser Earth Sovereign, his attainments in Spiritual Arrays have reached the Middle Rank Scholar Grade Realm!
What a monster! "The Firecloud King's face was dark with dense fear in his eyes.
"Leave this place immediately!"
A thought flashed in the Firecloud King's heart and the flames beneath his feet burst out. He had executed the Fire Shuttle Art to escape the range of the Spiritual Array.
Rustle!
But when the flames beneath the Firecloud King's feet flickered, the rainbow-coloured dragon had disappeared. No, it didn't disappear. It had turned into a streak of light and shuttled through space at a speed that couldn't be seen by the naked eye.
In just a breath's time, before the flames beneath the Firecloud Monarch's feet enveloped his body, a crack resounded and a hole appeared on the barrier. A rainbow light flashed and the multicolored dragon appeared before the Firecloud Monarch before it opened its mouth and bit onto the Firecloud Monarch's arm.
Sizzle!
As the dragon's mouth bit down, the Firecloud Monarch's entire arm was torn off, and blood spurted out.
"Argh!"
The Firecloud King also issued a miserable shriek. But he was also a ruthless person, disregarding his torn arm. His seals changed and flames enveloped his entire body. Thereafter, he had turned into a streak of flames and disappeared. When he reappeared, he was already a few myriad feet away, escaping from the range of the Nine Dragon God-Killing Array.
After escaping the Nine Dragon God-Killing Array, the Firecloud King looked at the Spiritual Array that enveloped the mountain with lingering fear before looking at his torn arm and gnashed his teeth.
Although this sort of injury wasn't a heavy injury for a Greater Earth Sovereign, it was truly embarrassing for a Lesser Earth Sovereign to be in such a pathetic state.
"He's truly not simple to be able to escape."
When Mu Chen saw the Firecloud King escaping the range of the Spiritual Array, he sighed. Those that could enter the Greater Earth Sovereign Realm were truly not pushovers.
With this Fire Shuttle Divine Ability, as long as the Firecloud King didn't encounter any troublesome opponents, he could probably come and go as he pleased.
"Brat, remember this. I will not let you off for my arm!" The Firecloud King's face was dark as he hollered at Mu Chen.
Boom!
But when he finished speaking, Mu Chen's silhouette suddenly burst out, leaving the Spiritual Array and charged towards the Firecloud King.
"Mhm?"
The Firecloud King was stunned, since he never expected that Mu Chen would leave the Spiritual Array. One must know that it was the Spiritual Array that allowed Mu Chen to force him into such a pathetic state. After leaving the Spiritual Array, Mu Chen was only a Lesser Earth Sovereign in his eyes!
"No, that brat is as cunning as a fox. There must be a trap for him to be so fearless!"
However, the Firecloud King instantly recovered from his shock. In addition to his previous loss, he did not want to fall into Mu Chen's trap. Thus, he gritted his teeth and retreated, paying no attention to Mu Chen, who had abandoned the Spiritual Array.
"You've become smart?
But you won't be able to escape this way. "
Seeing the Firecloud King retreating, Mu Chen's brows twitched before he stretched his hand out and clenched his fist with a peculiar smile on the corner of his lips.
Seeing Mu Chen's gesture, the Firecloud King's heart jolted and he wanted to use the Fire Shuttle Divine Ability again without any hesitation.
"Seal!"
A deep voice resounded from Mu Chen's mouth.
Just as the voice fell, the Fire Cloud King's severed arm faintly glowed with a crystalline light. Then, the flames that originally rose from his body dissipated at a strange speed.
The sudden scene had caused the Firecloud Monarch to be startled with dense shock on his face. That's because, at this moment, he could sense a peculiar crystallised Spiritual Energy invading his body, which had sealed his Spiritual Energy in its path.
"Damn it, when did his Spiritual Energy invade my body?!"
The Firecloud King exclaimed in disbelief. He had been guarding against Mu Chen's unusual ability, but he never expected that he would still fall for it.
But very quickly, he sensed where his arm was severed and his eyes narrowed. So it turned out that the multicolored dragon from before contained Mu Chen's crystallised Spiritual Energy. When his arm was severed, a portion of the crystallised Spiritual Energy had invaded his body.
"Have you figured it out?"
Just when the Firecloud King figured it out, a burst of laughter resounded and Mu Chen appeared before him.
The Firecloud King's face changed and he frantically circulated the Spiritual Energy in his body to eliminate the crystallised Spiritual Energy that invaded his body. He had also sensed that although the crystallised Spiritual Energy had the ability to seal, it was, after all, rootless. So it could only seal him for less than ten breaths of time.
Boom!
But just when he was frantically trying to get rid of it, a slender hand gently rested on his shoulder. Thereafter, an endless stream of crystal Spiritual Energy poured into his body like a tidal wave.
In an instant, the Firecloud King's face had turned pale.
Mu Chen's other hand stretched out in front of him.
The Firecloud King struggled for a brief moment, but in the end, he could only take out two Battle Seals. The Spiritual Energy in his body was temporarily sealed, and if Mu Chen really wanted to kill him, he might suffer irreparable injuries.
Receiving the two Battle Seals, Mu Chen nodded his head in satisfaction before he stretched his hand out and patted on the Firecloud King's body. A flame was forced out and it turned into a crimson cloud that fell into Mu Chen's hand.
The Firecloud Monarch's heart was bleeding when he saw this. Although it was only a low-level Holy Item, its defensive capabilities were rather outstanding, and it had helped him overcome many difficulties in the past.
The Firecloud King gnashed his teeth as he looked at Mu Chen. "Are you satisfied now?"
However, facing his vicious gaze, Mu Chen wasn't bothered by it. He looked at the Firecloud King and smiled. "Your Fire Escape Art is pretty miraculous."
"You demon!"
When Mu Chen's voice landed, the Firecloud King's roar resounded in the sky.
