Boom!
Ling Zhanzi's pathetic silhouette charged out of the crater and looked in Mu Chen's direction with disbelief.
He couldn't figure out how Mu Chen could unleash such a massive amount of Spiritual Energy at that critical moment!
His gaze swept across the horizon and stopped at the shoulder of the Immortal Golden Body. Shortly after, his pupils abruptly narrowed.
Under the setting sun, there were three identical silhouettes on the shoulder of the Immortal Golden Body!
Three Mu Chen's!
"Spiritual Energy Clones?"
Ling Zhanzi exclaimed in disbelief, but he soon overthrew it. He could sense powerful Spiritual Energy fluctuations from the black-robed Mu Chen and white-robed Mu Chen that weren't any weaker than Mu Chen.
If they were Spiritual Energy Clones, then it would be impossible for them to reach this level.
But if they weren't Spiritual Energy Clones, then what could they be?
At this moment, even Ling Zhanzi was dumbfounded.
While everyone was shocked, the white-robed Mu Chen on the shoulder of the Immortal Golden Body lowered his head and smiled in Ling Zhanzi's direction. "You want to seize the Battle Seals?"
The black-robed Mu Chen smiled. "Did you ask for our permission?"
"W-who are you guys?!
No external help is allowed here! "Ling Zhanzi's face was pale.
Since he couldn't confirm the identities of the black-robed Mu Chen and white-robed Mu Chen, he could only treat them as external help or twin brothers that Mu Chen somehow found.
Facing Ling Zhanzi's words, the black-robed Mu Chen and white-robed Mu Chen smiled before they placed their hands on Mu Chen's shoulder. Instantly, the Spiritual Energy in their bodies roared and poured into Mu Chen's body.
Along with the influx of Spiritual Energy, Mu Chen's dimmed eyes instantly regained their luster and a powerful Spiritual Energy fluctuation slowly emanated from his body.
Sensing the surging Spiritual Energy fluctuation in his body, Mu Chen stood up and looked at Ling Zhanzi with a playful smile. "Looks like you won't be the one laughing in the end."
"You!"
Ling Zhanzi looked at Mu Chen in disbelief, who had swiftly recovered his Spiritual Energy. That's because the Spiritual Energy that most people cultivated contained their own will, so it's practically impossible for it to be absorbed by others. But Mu Chen had easily absorbed the Spiritual Energy from the two of them and even filled his body with it.
This meant that Mu Chen, the black-robed Mu Chen, and white-robed Mu Chen were one!
Indeed, this wasn't some strange foreign aid. It was something that Mu Chen had done himself!
"But how is that possible?" Ling Zhanzi still couldn't believe it. If Mu Chen had such means, didn't that mean that he could split himself into three and have the same strength as his main body?
If that's the case, then whoever fought with him would have to deal with three Mu Chen's with the same strength and means?
Thinking about it, Ling Zhanzi felt his head aching. One Mu Chen was already so troublesome, so how troublesome would it be if there were three Mu Chen's?
With his heart churning with emotions, Ling Zhanzi took a deep breath to suppress it and coldly said, "I never expected that you still had such shocking means. But it looks pretty scary, but I wonder if it's just flashy without any substance!"
This move from Mu Chen was a little terrifying, so Ling Zhanzi couldn't help suspecting if this was a smokescreen from Mu Chen to subdue the enemy without fighting.
The three Mu Chen's exchanged a look with peculiar smiles rising on the corner of their lips. "Then, I'll have to invite you to test it."
Boom!
In that instant, the three Mu Chen's flew out at the same time, turning into three streaks of light that charged towards Ling Zhanzi.
Seeing the three of them flying over, Ling Zhanzi's gaze turned grave and he did not dare to be careless. He threw a palm forth and Spiritual Energy gathered in his palm like a storm, forming into a dragon-shaped Spiritual Energy that roared and swept towards the three streaks of light.
Rumble!
The black and white Mu Chen's swiftly strode forth and made their moves at the same time. Crystallised Spiritual Energy swept out and slammed against the dragon-shaped Spiritual Energy.
Boom!
When the two sides came into contact, crystallised Spiritual Energy radiated in all directions and had actually destroyed Ling Zhanzi's dragon-shaped Spiritual Energy with a single fist.
"What?!"
Seeing that his attack was instantly destroyed, Ling Zhanzi was startled. One must know that although Mu Chen had many means, he was still a Lesser Earth Sovereign, in the end. In the past, when he clashed with Mu Chen with Spiritual Energy, Mu Chen had suffered a loss. But when they clashed with Spiritual Energy again, he was instantly defeated.
"Damn it! How is this possible?!
Even if the black and white Mu Chen's strength is also in the Lesser Earth Sovereign Realm, it's impossible for them to resist my Spiritual Energy attack so easily! "
Ling Zhanzi was a Pinnacle Greater Earth Sovereign, so not to mention two Lesser Earth Sovereigns, even if there were a few more of them, it still wouldn't be able to confront him. But right now, just two Lesser Earth Sovereigns, Mu Chen, had caused him to suffer a considerable loss.
"Don't be distracted at this moment."
While Ling Zhanzi was absent-minded, a faint laughter suddenly resounded from his rear. Mu Chen's main body had appeared behind him without him knowing and threw a jab forth.
"Self-Sacrificial Demonic Punch!"
When he threw a jab forth, Spiritual Energy burst out along with a self-sacrificial aura that made Ling Zhanzi feel his scalp going numb. However, he did not panic and threw a palm forth with a shocking amount of Spiritual Energy. His attack was previously destroyed by the black and white Mu Chen, but Mu Chen was alone right now.
Boom!
As the fist and palm clashed, a violent Spiritual Energy swept out. But in that instant of contact, Ling Zhanzi's face suddenly changed. He could sense that Mu Chen had grown stronger than before!
As the Spiritual Energy shock wave spread out, Mu Chen's silhouette trembled and he took several steps back. On the other hand, Ling Zhanzi was forced to take ten-odd steps back with every single step leaving a deep footprint on the ground.
"You, how did your Spiritual Energy grow so much stronger?!"
Ling Zhanzi looked at Mu Chen's main body in shock. In that previous palm, Mu Chen's Spiritual Energy was several times stronger than before.
Mu Chen lightly smiled. After the appearance of the black and white Mu Chen, the Spiritual Energy between the three of them could be linked together. So no matter which one of them made a move, they would possess the power of the three of them. In addition to the perfect rapport between his main body and his clones, the amplification was even more shocking. So even if he had to face Ling Zhanzi alone, he wouldn't be inferior.
Boom!
However, there was no need for Mu Chen to tell Ling Zhanzi about this. With a will, the three Mu Chens pounced forth like ferocious tigers with boundless Spiritual Energy forming into sharp attacks that enveloped towards Ling Zhanzi.
Facing the attacks of the three Mu Chen, Ling Zhanzi had tried his best, but he was still forced to retreat. At this moment, he was in a pathetic state and had fallen into a disadvantageous position.
Boom!
Another clash of Spiritual Energy caused Ling Zhanzi's silhouette to be blown back with his face changing before his roar rang out, "Ling Jianzi, Ling Longzi, come and help me!"
At this moment, he couldn't be bothered about his face anymore. He could only hope that he could call Ling Jianzi and Ling Longzi over. With the three of them working together, only then would they be able to resist Mu Chen.
When Ling Jianzi and Ling Longzi heard Ling Zhanzi's roar, their faces slightly changed before they gritted their teeth and wanted to help. That's because they knew that if Ling Zhanzi was defeated, then they wouldn't be able to stop Mu Chen with his strength.
But just when they moved, Su Mu and Chu Men blocked their path.
"Haha, have you asked for our permission before helping?"
Su Mu and Chu Men felt carefree, since they had suffered the ridicule from Ling Jianzi and Ling Longzi. So when they saw them in such a pathetic state, they couldn't help feeling resentful.
Ling Jianzi and Ling Longzi did not speak a single word as they unleashed their ferocious attacks. At this moment, they no longer held back and unleashed all sorts of means, thoroughly suppressing Su Mu and Chu Men. However, the two of them were tenacious as they gritted their teeth and endured the pressure. Even if they had to suffer injuries, they still managed to hold the two of them back.
It was a chaotic battle on their side, while Ling Zhanzi was also in a precarious situation.
Boom!
A storm of Spiritual Energy wreaked havoc, causing Ling Zhanzi's hair to scatter with a trace of blood on the corner of his lips. Looking at the three Mu Chen's that were slowly walking over, his eyes had turned red, like a ferocious beast that had been driven into a corner.
"Mu Chen, even if I lose to you today, I won't let you have it easy!"
Ling Zhanzi roared with viciousness flickering in his eyes. In the next moment, he bit his tongue and a mouthful of blood essence gushed out. His blood essence ignited and turned into crimson flames that fell onto his body.
Sizzle!
Those flames seemed to have ignited the blood in Ling Zhanzi's body, instantly causing his body to burn. At the same time, a violent Spiritual Energy soared into the sky from his body like a myriad foot-high smoke signal.
"Igniting his blood essence?"
Mu Chen's gaze flickered. Ling Zhanzi was truly a ruthless person. Not only was he ruthless to his enemies, but he was also ruthless to himself. Seeing that the situation wasn't good, he was actually willing to ignite his blood essence. But this way, he would probably have to recuperate for a long time after this battle. It was so much so that there might even be some repercussions that would hinder his growth.
"Mu Chen, follow me out of the battlefield!
At that time, the quota will still fall into the hands of my West Heaven Temple! "
Ling Zhanzi laughed maniacally. He had also risked his life to drag Mu Chen out of the battlefield. At that time, it wouldn't be hard for Ling Jianzi and Ling Longzi to defeat Su Mu and Chu Men.
Boom!
Boundless Spiritual Energy whistled around Ling Zhanzi, forming into a tornado. At this moment, he was like a demonic deity as his gaze locked onto Mu Chen. In the next moment, his hands suddenly joined together and he threw a jab forth.
"Great Divine Ability - Battle Emperor's Spiritual Fist!"
That fist had caused the heavens and earth to turn dark. At this moment, even the experts in the surroundings of the plaza had a drastic change in their expressions. That fist of Ling Zhanzi was practically his strongest attack without using his Sovereign Celestial Body!
Evidently, Ling Zhanzi had also been forced to his limits at this moment.
While everyone's faces changed, Mu Chen, who stood before Ling Zhanzi, laughed before his roar resonated throughout the heavens and earth. He took a step forth with the black and white Mu Chen a step behind him. Although it looked casual, it had instantly formed into a profound Spiritual Array.
Mu Chen took a step forth, as if he had disregarded Ling Zhanzi's fist and his voice gently resounded in the surroundings.
"Since that's the case, then I'll use you as the first sacrifice for my Spiritual Trinity Battle Formation!"
