"Sometimes, rejoicing too early will only turn into a joke."
A burst of laughter that contained a trace of killing intent resounded between the heavens and earth. The Violet Cloud Lord, Venerable Thunder Note, and the Golden Eagle Emperor squinted their eyes as they fixed their gazes on Mu Chen.
Even at this point in time, they clearly did not expect Mu Chen to not show any fear or cower in his heart.
"It looks like the Mu Abode's Ruler intends to walk this path till the end." Venerable Thunder Note helplessly shook his head.
A cold light flickered in the Golden Eagle Emperor's eyes as he coldly said, "Let's not waste time with him. He's trying to drag time."
"Let's make our move!"
The Violet Cloud Lord solemnly said. Venerable Thunder Note had paid a considerable price to temporarily trap two of Mu Chen's Spiritual Energy clones. If they managed to break free, the situation would become three against three, and at that time, their advantage would be weakened.
"Let's make our move, then!"
Venerable Thunder Note nodded his head. He didn't want to drag this any further.
Boom!
The three of them came to an agreement and did not give Mu Chen any time to speak. They stomped their feet and a massive storm of Spiritual Energy wreaked havoc between the heavens and earth before three silhouettes tore through space and pounced towards Mu Chen.
Looking at the three silhouettes, Mu Chen maintained a calm expression before he swiftly formed seals with a single hand. The Immortal Golden Body burst out with a dazzling lustre that formed into a golden barrier that enveloped the Immortal Golden Body and Mu Chen.
"You think that you can wait for your clones to break free by standing here?"
Seeing Mu Chen's actions, the Violet Cloud Lord, Venerable Thunder Note, and the other two coldly sneered before waving their sleeves. Instantly, a terrifying attack whistled out, bringing along myriad layers of Spiritual Energy that slammed against the golden barrier.
Rumble!
Although the golden barrier formed by the Immortal Golden Body was powerful, it violently trembled under the attacks of three Heavenly Sovereigns with ripples spreading out.
From the looks of it, it would shatter very soon.
When the other forces in the Northern Domain Plains saw this scene, they inwardly smacked their lips. It was indeed terrifying when the three overlords joined forces. Even the previously domineering Mu Chen had fallen into a disadvantageous position and lost the initiative.
At this rate, once Mu Chen's defense was broken, he would be caught in the joint attack of the three overlords, unable to escape.
At this point, the tragic outcome of the Mu Abode was already starting to come to an end.
Thinking about it, many forces looked at the experts of the Mu Abode with eerie gazes. If Mu Chen died, then the pillar of the Mu Abode would fall, and no one from the Mu Abode would be able to escape from the Northern Domain Plains.
Sensing the ferocious gazes coming from all directions, the faces of the Mu Abode's experts turned grave as they gathered together and circulated the Spiritual Energy around them before looking at Datura with uneasiness in their eyes.
That petite silhouette stood with her hands behind her back with her exquisite face without any ripples. She only raised her head and looked at the intense battle in the sky without any panic in her eyes.
Seeing her calm, everyone's tensed bodies gradually loosened up. At this point, the only thing they could do was to firmly believe in their Abode Ruler.
Back then, when they followed the Abode Ruler to the Northern Domain Plains, didn't they already know that this was a dangerous trip?
For the future of the Mu Abode, and for the future of the Mu Abode.
Since that's the case, then they could only follow the Abode Ruler to the end.
Boom!
Boom! Under the firm gazes of the Mu Abode's experts, explosions constantly resounded in the sky with violent attacks slamming against the golden barrier, causing it to tremble.
In the barrier, Mu Chen looked at the three silhouettes without any ripples in his eyes. He only lowered his head to look at the crystal pagoda in his hand.
"The exhaustion of using the Eight-Divisional Pagoda with the cultivation of a Quasi-Perfected Earth Sovereign is too great."
After a brief pondering, Mu Chen faintly smiled. It looked like he had to make a breakthrough as well. In this battle, he wanted to make the three sects lose their courage and not dare to compete with the Mu Abode!
A round pellet that looked like a dragon's eye appeared between his fingers with a peculiar fragrance spreading out.
It was the Saint Spirit Pellet.
Outside the golden barrier, the Violet Cloud Lord and company had also sensed Mu Chen's actions. Although they had no idea what he was trying to do, they were cautious and increased their attacks.
Raising his finger, Mu Chen gently placed the pellet in his mouth and closed his eyes.
As the warm current flowed down his throat, it abruptly exploded. It was like a storm that instantly filled every corner of Mu Chen's body.
Spiritual Energy fluctuated in his body and his flesh emanated a crystalline lustre, as if he was forged with gems.
At the same time, the Violet Cloud Lord, Venerable Thunder Note, and the Golden Eagle Emperor suddenly sensed that the Spiritual Energy fluctuation emanating from Mu Chen's body was rapidly rising.
Visible boundless Spiritual Energy had formed into a violent gale around him that constantly whistled.
"He's making a breakthrough!"
The Violet Cloud Lord's face was pale as he exclaimed.
This fellow was really audacious to actually dare to make a breakthrough right under their noses!
"Stop him!"
The three of them hollered at the same time. Mu Chen was already so troublesome to deal with at the Quasi-Perfected Earth Sovereign Realm. If he really made a breakthrough, how troublesome would he be?
Spiritual light gathered behind the three of them and three massive silhouettes swiftly appeared, emanating a terrifying Spiritual Energy pressure.
They had immediately brought out their Sovereign Immortal Bodies.
The three Sovereign Immortal Bodies stood between the heavens and earth, emanating Spiritual Energy that was akin to a gale or mist.
Boom!
The Sovereign Immortal Body made a move without any hesitation, gathering destructive energy on its fist. As it brandished its fist, space collapsed and slammed against the golden barrier.
Boom!
Boom! The golden barrier violently trembled with ripples spreading out. In the end, it finally reached its limit and exploded.
"Die for this seat!"
When the golden barrier exploded, three massive fists descended from the sky and slammed towards Mu Chen, who was standing on the shoulder of the Immortal Golden Body, causing space to collapse.
Everyone in the Northern Domain Plains had their eyelids twitching at this destructive scene. Facing such an attack, could Mu Chen still survive?
As the fists descended, Mu Chen, who was standing on the shoulder of the Immortal Golden Body, suddenly opened his eyes.
His pitch-black pupils were like the night sky, extremely deep and unfathomable power seemed to be contained within that deep and unfathomable depth.
At this moment, everyone could sense that the Spiritual Energy fluctuation emanating from Mu Chen's body had soared to a shocking degree.
"He made a breakthrough?
How can he be so fast?! "
The Violet Cloud Lord and company were shocked in their hearts. Ordinary people needed a long time to make a breakthrough, but it only took a few minutes for Mu Chen?!
However, they had no idea that Mu Chen already possessed the qualifications to break through to the Perfected Earth Sovereign Realm. He just wanted it to go smoothly, so he had been suppressing it. But with the Saint Spirit Pellet as a guide, he had released his suppression, so his breakthrough was naturally easy.
"Hmph, even if you've reached the Perfected Earth Sovereign Realm, you will still die today!"
However, the Violet Cloud Lord and company swiftly suppressed the shock in their hearts. Their attacks were extremely powerful. Not to mention that Mu Chen had only broken through to the Perfected Earth Sovereign Realm, even if he had come in contact with the Heavenly Sovereign Realm, he still wouldn't have any chance of winning!
Rumble!
As this thought flashed through their minds, their attacks had already ruthlessly smashed down.
Mu Chen had also raised his head and his hands swiftly joined together. The Immortal Golden Body roared with a purplish-golden lustre surging and threw a jab forth. The purplish-golden lustre had formed into a golden shield that clashed with the three fists.
Boom!
In that instant of collision, the heavens and earth turned silent for an instant. In the next instant, a Spiritual Energy shock wave that was a few hundred thousand feet exploded in the sky. Within a radius of ten thousand miles, all the clouds in the sky had been completely destroyed.
Everyone's gaze was fixed on the location of the collision.
A storm swept out and the massive purplish-golden silhouette was blown back a few thousand feet, while the three fists were also blocked.
"Hmph."
Up in the sky, the Violet Cloud Lord's group of three groaned with unsightly expressions. That's because, despite having the upper hand, they did not manage to defeat Mu Chen.
One must know that their joint attack could even heavily injure an expert on the same level.
But right now, Mu Chen was only pushed back. Clearly, he did not suffer any heavy injuries.
A commotion broke out in the heavens and earth with many people shaking their heads in disbelief. They never expected that Mu Chen would be able to take on the joint attack of three Overlords.
"How formidable, facing three Overlords by himself and only falling into a disadvantageous position. This Mu Abode's Ruler is truly formidable!"
At this moment, even if everyone here belonged to the three sects, they still couldn't help sighing in their hearts.
"But even if he managed to withstand it, it's still impossible for him to face three Overlords by himself. The three Overlords will be able to turn their advantage into victory."
While whispers resounded in the heavens and earth, the Violet Cloud Lord, Venerable Thunder Note, and Golden Eagle Emperor coldly looked at Mu Chen with killing intent surging in their eyes.
Evidently, they weren't satisfied with their previous advantage.
But facing their cold gazes, Mu Chen, who was standing on the shoulder of the Immortal Golden Body, gently waved his hand. "You're truly capable."
With a smile, he raised his head and looked at the Violet Cloud Lord and company. "Now that I've shown off enough, it should be my turn now, right?"
As he spoke, he raised his hand and the crystal pagoda soared into the sky. In the next moment, a massive shadow descended from the sky and enveloped the Violet Cloud Lord, Venerable Thunder Note, and Golden Eagle Emperor, along with their Sovereign Immortal Bodies.
