"This Junior is willing to do his best."
Mu Chen's voice resounded from the altar. Facing the Pagoda Ancestor's suggestion, he did not hesitate. After all, his objective in coming to the Primordial Sacred Abyss was to obtain the Eight-Divisional Pagoda.
When the Pagoda Ancestor heard his words, he nodded his head in gratification.
As for Xuan Luo and Mo Xin, their faces were as black as the bottom of a wok with a grim light in their eyes. They never expected that after pointing out Mu Chen's identity as the sinner, the Pagoda Ancestor would still choose Mu Chen.
If that's the case, wouldn't the Eight-Divisional Pagoda fall into Mu Chen's hands?
Thinking about it, Xuan Luo and Mo Xin's eyes surged with unconcealable jealousy.
"Serves you right!"
When Qing Ling saw this scene, she couldn't help ridiculing. If it wasn't for Mu Chen, the altar would have been destroyed by Shi Tianyou. Xuan Luo and Mo Xin didn't dare to face the powerful Mu Chen earlier, but when they saw an opportunity to take advantage, they immediately stood out and even tried to smear Mu Chen's name.
Those means were simply disgusting.
But fortunately, the Pagoda Ancestor was an open-minded person, and he wasn't like those old fogeys in the clan.
Qing Shuang also felt relieved. She had already thrown away the thoughts of the Eight-Divisional Pagoda, so she couldn't be bothered to fight for it. As for the ownership, she was naturally leaning towards Mu Chen.
"I hope that Mu Chen and the Pagoda Ancestor will be able to destroy the soul fragment of the Sky Monarch. Otherwise …" Qing Shuang's eyes flashed with worry. One of the four floors of the Four Saint Pagoda had already been destroyed by the Fiend Clans, and if they failed here, then they would have failed half of their mission.
If the soul fragment of the Sky Monarch escaped the Four Saint Pagoda, then the consequences would be unimaginable.
While Qing Shuang was inwardly worrying, the Pagoda Ancestor's will suddenly shot out from the altar and poured into Mu Chen's head. At the same time, a myriad lustre shot out from the latter's eyes like dazzling stars.
When the Pagoda Ancestor's will poured into his body, Mu Chen instantly felt a terrifying energy sweeping out from his body. That energy was so powerful that even with the strength of his physique, a few bloody marks had appeared on his body.
"What a powerful strength!"
Mu Chen involuntarily sucked in a breath of cold air as he sensed the boundless energy within his body. Compared to this will, the difference between his previous strength and this will was like the difference between a firefly and the moon.
He couldn't help feeling dazzled by this scene. The current Pagoda Ancestor was only a strand of his will, yet his strength was already so majestic. He wondered how shocking it would be if the Pagoda Ancestor was at his peak.
The reputation of a Saint Heavenly Sovereign was truly well-deserved.
"Next, this old man will borrow your body to fight with the Blood Vampire Sky Monarch."
The will of the Pagoda Ancestor resounded in Mu Chen's heart and the latter nodded his head. That energy was too powerful, and he couldn't control it with his current strength.
It was akin to giving a child a sharp blade, and the child wouldn't be able to wield it to unleash any lethality.
"Pagoda Geezer, this Monarch will not give you the chance to suppress this Monarch again!"
At the same time, the Blood Vampire Sky Monarch roared towards the sky and a torrential demonic aura violently gathered before him. A few breaths later, it had formed into a black sphere that was the size of a head.
That demonic sphere looked like a black hole. Although it didn't seem eye-catching, when it appeared, the surrounding space had collapsed, as if it couldn't bear the pressure.
It was a demonic aura that had been compressed to the limit.
Looking at the demonic sphere, Mu Chen's heart trembled. He had a premonition that even if he used his strongest defence, the Immortal Golden Chain, he might not be able to withstand the power contained in the demonic sphere.
Boom!
As the demonic ball gathered, it shot forth in the next instant. Space collapsed in its path. Furthermore, those sharp spatial fragments were directly devoured by the demonic aura, causing its might to grow even more terrifying.
It was such a simple move, but it possessed the power to destroy the heavens and earth.
Facing the destructive demonic sphere, 'Mu Chen' joined his hands together and a pagoda slowly emerged from his palms. The pagoda was sparkling and translucent, it was the Divine Pagoda in Mu Chen's body.
But at this moment, the Divine Pagoda in Mu Chen's hand was on a completely different level.
A dazzling lustre gathered on the pagoda, and when it appeared, it was akin to a blazing crystal sun that suppressed all light in the heavens and earth.
The Divine Pagoda trembled in Mu Chen's hand before the tip of the pagoda swayed and a crystalline lustre gushed out that contained a mysterious power.
As the lustre gushed out, it clashed with the demonic sphere.
The expected earth-shattering explosion did not occur, because when the crystalline light touched the demonic sphere, it immediately turned into light and enveloped it. As the light spread, the black sphere dimmed at a speed visible to the naked eye. In the end, it shattered and was quickly annihilated.
"What a powerful sealing power!"
When Mu Chen saw this scene, he was startled in his heart. The sealing power unleashed by the Pagoda Ancestor was simply too powerful.
Roar!
Seeing that his attack failed, the Blood Vampire Sky Monarch roared and countless black hairs grew on Shi Tianyou's body before he turned into afterimages and shot out with inch-long nails that flickered with a dark lustre. The sharpness was something that not even a Heavenly Sovereign would dare to face.
The Blood Vampire Sky Monarch excelled in close combat, so he was trying to get close to Mu Chen and suppress the Pagoda Ancestor with his powerful close combat ability.
However, the Pagoda Ancestor did not give him the opportunity. His silhouette retreated and the pagoda expanded into a myriad foot that pressed towards the Blood Vampire Sky Monarch.
Boom!
Boom!
It was too late for the Blood Vampire Sky Monarch to dodge, so he could only use his fists to clash with the pagoda. Instantly, an earth-shattering noise resounded. But every single time he pushed the pagoda back, he would suffer a powerful rebound and his silhouette would be pushed back time and time again.
After ten-odd times, the Blood Vampire Sky Monarch finally lost his patience and roared towards the sky before he broke one of his arms and spewed black flames that enveloped his arm.
"Zombie Demonic Spear!"
Ten-odd breaths later, the Blood Vampire Sky Monarch stretched his hand into the flames and pulled out a black bone spear that emanated a dense stench of blood.
Boom!
Wielding the black bone spear, the Blood Vampire Sky Monarch brandished it towards the pagoda once again. This time, the pagoda was blown back with a deep mark on its sturdy body.
"Hmph."
When the Pagoda Ancestor saw this scene, he coldly snorted and controlled Mu Chen's body to swiftly form seals, causing the entire altar to violently tremble.
Buzz!
Buzz! The altar trembled and cracks suddenly appeared on it with several streaks of light shooting out from the cracks and swiftly converged. As the light flickered, a bronze mirror that flickered with starlight appeared in the sky.
That bronze mirror was extremely ancient with mottled marks on it. The surface of the mirror was deep and unfathomable, giving off an unfathomable feeling.
The only flaw was that the bronze mirror was missing a corner, causing it to no longer look perfect.
Buzz!
When the bronze mirror appeared, the Divine Pagoda violently trembled before a boundless divine radiance gushed out. However, that radiance wasn't directed at the Blood Vampire Sky Monarch, but the bronze mirror.
Whoosh!
The divine light drilled into the copper mirror. After a breath of time, the copper mirror trembled. Suddenly, a ray of divine light that was hundreds of thousands of feet wide swept out. Outside the ray of light, there were countless ancient runes. It was extremely vast.
"Demon Sealing Diagram!"
Along with the Pagoda Ancestor's roar, a diagram that was roughly a myriad feet in size slowly appeared. When the diagram was unfurled, it had pierced through space and appeared above the Blood Vampire Sky Monarch, enveloping him.
Whoosh!
A terrifying suction force burst out from the diagram, pulling the Blood Vampire Sky Monarch's body into the diagram.
Evidently, the Blood Vampire Sky Monarch was extremely fearful of the painting. Thus, he frantically unleashed his demonic aura to resist the suction of the painting. Under his frantic resistance, his body gradually stabilized.
"Haha, Pagoda Geezer, your Demon Sealing Mirror was shattered by this Monarch back then, and it's no longer perfect. You still want to suppress me in it?" The Blood Vampire Sky Monarch couldn't help laughing.
That's because, as time passed, the power of the Demon Sealing Diagram was gradually weakening.
The Pagoda Ancestor's will gently sighed, "What a pity …"
If the Demon Sealing Mirror was complete, it wouldn't be difficult for it to suppress the Blood Vampire Sky Monarch.
Mu Chen's consciousness was looking at the Demon Sealing Mirror in the sky. He stared at the missing part and his heart trembled. With a thought, a streak of light flew out from his sleeve and hovered before him.
The streak of light retracted and turned into a smooth bronze plate.
It was the mysterious bronze plate that Mu Chen had obtained in the gathering city.
"Senior, I've obtained something by chance …" Mu Chen's voice resounded.
Before he finished speaking, Mu Chen could clearly sense a violent fluctuation coming from the Pagoda Ancestor's will. Thereafter, he could hear the Pagoda Ancestor's excited and joyful voice resounding in his heart.
"This … this is a fragment of the Demon Sealing Mirror?!"
