Rustle!
A silhouette covered in an evil aura flew out from the forest in a pathetic state. It was as if there was a ferocious god of death chasing after it.
Boom!
However, just when that figure was about to leave the desolate forest, a massive Spiritual Energy fist descended from the sky. Akin to a mountain, it heavily smashed against that figure.
The entire land caved in at this moment as spiderweb-like cracks swiftly spread out. When the huge fist dissipated, only a pile of minced meat was left in the huge pit. There was no trace of life within it.
A silhouette appeared above the crater. Mu Chen indifferently swept a glance before retracting his gaze. Two silhouettes flew over and appeared beside him.
It was Qing Shuang and Qing Ling.
"The Fiend Clans are increasing in number."
Qing Shuang knitted her brows. In just half a day, they had encountered several waves of the Fiend Clans. But fortunately, there weren't any experts on the level of the Flame Demon Clan. Thus, those Fiend Clans that they encountered had all died in their hands.
"We're approaching the core region."
Mu Chen had also raised his head and looked into the distance. He could sense a faintly discernible fluctuation that was as deep and unfathomable as an abyss in that direction.
Evidently, that should be their destination.
When Qing Shuang and Qing Ling heard his words, their faces turned grave. They could vaguely sense that there would be an indescribably intense battle at the destination.
"Let's go, let's increase our speed."
Mu Chen waved his hand as he flew towards that direction. He wasn't afraid of the intense battle that was about to happen. Compared to that, he was more worried that someone would beat him to it.
Seeing how impatient Mu Chen was, Qing Shuang and Qing Ling helplessly shook their heads and followed up.
The three of them had a smoother journey, and they did not encounter any experts of the Fiend Clans. On the contrary, they encountered other teams that were in a pathetic state. Evidently, they had also encountered some Fiend Clans and fought with them.
However, Mu Chen didn't pay too much attention to these teams. He just focused on hurrying along.
Under his full speed, another four hours passed before he gradually slowed down. His eyes were grave as he looked towards the end of his sight.
Qing Shuang and Qing Ling also raised their beautiful eyes and looked over.
Subsequently, they saw an incomparably huge black altar faintly appearing at the end of their sight in the distant desolate land. The terrifying ripples that permeated this layer originated from this altar.
"There are people fighting over there."
Mu Chen withdrew his eyes from the black altar. After which, his pupils hardened. Although they were separated by an extremely great distance, he could still sense that there were many powerful fluctuations erupting around the altar, shaking the surrounding space.
"It looks like some teams and the Fiend Clans have already arrived."
Mu Chen frowned his brows. Soon after, his figure moved, turning into a streak of light as he shot out.
A few minutes later, his silhouette appeared not too far away from the black altar. Coming into contact with it, he realised that the altar was more majestic than he had imagined.
At the top of the altar, there were four ancient stone pillars with raging flames burning on them. The flames were like liquid Spiritual Energy, and as they burned, they gave off an indescribable feeling of palpitation.
Of the four stone pillars, one was in the middle, while the other three surrounded it. In front of the central stone pillar, there was a grey stone coffin. Flame chains wrapped around the stone coffin, firmly binding it.
In Mu Chen's perception, that stone coffin was like a black hole that devoured all auras. Anyone that approached would be devoured by it. It was extremely evil.
"That stone coffin is the soul fragment of a Sky Monarch?" Mu Chen looked at the stone coffin with dense fear in his eyes.
"It's Xuan Luo, Mo Xin, and the rest!"
Qing Ling suddenly exclaimed as she pointed towards another direction of the altar. There was a powerful Spiritual Energy fluctuation that was constantly exploding like a storm.
At this moment, the surroundings of the altar had already turned into a chaotic battlefield. The teams and experts from both sides were constantly gathering from all directions and violently clashing against each other, erupting into an intense confrontation.
In this battlefield, Xuan Luo and Mo Xin's silhouettes were the most eye-catching. That's because the powerful Spiritual Energy fluctuations emanating from their bodies had practically suppressed all the experts of the Great Thousand World.
But even so, they still encountered powerful enemies that obstructed them.
The enemy that Mo Xin encountered was someone that Mu Chen and the rest were familiar with, since it was the commander of the Flame Demon Clan that they had fought in the past. As for Xuan Luo, his opponent was a skinny silhouette. That silhouette was extremely peculiar, since his arms weren't palms, but two sharp blades.
The blades flickered with a cold lustre, and every time they streaked across, space would be sliced apart. Evidently, they were extremely sharp.
"That should be one of the thirty-two Major Clans of the Fiend Clans, the Blade Demon Clan!"
Qing Shuang said. As someone from the Ancient Buddha Clan, she naturally knew a lot of information about the Fiend Clans.
"Thirty-two Major Clans?"
Mu Chen squinted his eyes. The Prince of the Corpse Demon Clan, Shi Tianyou, that he had previously encountered, seemed to be one of the thirty-two Major Clans.
"The strength of that expert from the Blade Demon Clan is also shocking."
A smear of graveness flashed in Mu Chen's eyes. To be able to fight with Xuan Luo to such an extent without showing any signs of losing, the strength of the Blade Demon Clan wasn't any weaker than the commander of the Flame Demon Clan.
The strength of the two of them was comparable to a top-tiered Perfected Earth Sovereign.
"Let us make a move as well!"
Qing Shuang said. The current situation had already turned into a chaotic battle, and their mission was to protect the altar and prevent the Fiend Clans from destroying it.
Nodding his head, Mu Chen entered the chaotic battlefield without any hesitation. The black and white Mu Chen appeared beside him and the three of them were like ferocious tigers as they charged towards the Fiend Clans. No one could obstruct them.
As for Qing Shuang and Qing Ling, they joined hands to hunt down the Fiend Clans that managed to escape.
Mu Chen's party was invincible as he entered the stage. Clearly, he had caused quite a bit of commotion in the battlefield, which attracted the attention of the experts from both sides.
"Hmph, that fellow is finally here!"
Mo Xin cast a glance in Mu Chen's direction and coldly snorted.
"It's that fellow!"
The commander of the Flame Demon Clan's expression slightly changed as he looked at Mu Chen with fear.
"You dare to be distracted while fighting me?"
But just when the commander of the Flame Demon Clan was absent-minded, a cold laughter resounded before him. Mo Xin's slender hands were covered in a black chill that was indescribably domineering. When he waved his hands out, the surrounding space was instantly frozen.
Boom!
Mo Xin's palm that was covered in a black chill slammed against the chest of the commander of the Flame Demon Clan, sending the latter flying back with black ice spreading out and enveloping his body.
Boom!
But the ice only lasted for a few breaths before black flames burst out from the commander of the Flame Demon Clan's body, incinerating the ice. At the same time, the commander of the Flame Demon Clan's enraged roar resounded throughout the heavens and earth.
"Flame Demon Image!"
As the black flames gathered, they swiftly formed into a massive demonic image behind the commander of the Flame Demon Clan. Looking from afar, that demonic image looked like a destructive demon that emanated a shocking pressure.
Sensing the pressure, Mo Xin's face trembled before he formed seals without any hesitation and hollered, "Great Netherworld Celestial Body!"
A black cold aura violently whistled out and in the next moment, a massive silhouette appeared behind Mo Xin. That silhouette was enveloped in a terrifying cold aura that could freeze anything. That cold aura was extremely cold, and the moment it entered the body of a person, even their Spiritual Energy would be swiftly frozen.
"The Great Netherworld Celestial Body that's ranked 25th in the 99 Rankings of Sovereign Celestial Bodies?"
When Mu Chen sensed the commotion from afar, his gaze slightly trembled. Mo Xin was truly worthy of being the Young Master of the Ancient Buddha Clan. Such a Sovereign Celestial Body wasn't ordinary.
Boom!
When Mo Xin's battle reached the climax, there was a terrifying fluctuation that swept out from another direction as well. Buzz!
Buzz!
Torrential demonic aura surged behind the expert of the Blade Demon Clan that was fighting with Xuan Luo. As the demonic aura whistled down, it had formed into a black blade that was roughly a thousand feet in size and quietly hovered behind him.
When the demonic blade appeared, it had frantically devoured the slaughter aura in this battlefield. In just a few breaths' time, the black blade had already turned crimson.
"It's your honour to die under the Sky Demon Blade of my clan!" The expert of the Blade Demon Clan looked at Xuan Luo with a sharp gaze as he said in a hoarse voice.
"Haha, is that so?"
Facing the expert of the Blade Demon Clan, Xuan Luo faintly smiled and a myriad foot of lustre burst out from his body like a blazing sun.
The blazing sun melted behind him and a massive silhouette that was a few myriad feet in size slowly appeared behind him.
The giant figure was bright and dazzling. On its palm was a crystal pagoda that was a few hundred feet tall, emitting a sacred light.
When Mu Chen saw that massive silhouette, he couldn't help squinting his eyes as he muttered, "This is the Great Pagoda Celestial Body that's ranked 17th?"
It was rumored that the Great Pagoda Celestial Body was born from one of the Five Primal Celestial Bodies, the Endless Radiance Body.
The Endless Radiance Body was preserved in the Ancient Buddha Clan!
Xuan Luo's ambition wasn't small!
