Mu Chen's silhouette descended from the sky and landed on the platform of the Xuan Bloodline under everyone's shocked gazes. His actions had also caused a torrential uproar.
"What?
He wants to challenge the Xuan Bloodline?! "
"That brat is too arrogant. The Xuan Bloodline has seven Elders, and he will have to obtain at least four victories if he wants to obtain a seat from them!"
"A newborn calf isn't afraid of a tiger. He's practically a snake trying to swallow an elephant."
"He's pretty courageous, but isn't he afraid of bursting himself to death?"
“”
Whispers broke out as everyone was shocked by Mu Chen's decision. Judging from the current situation, the Xuan Bloodline was the toughest bone to chew.
In the eyes of many, Mu Chen's decision was reckless and unwise.
Naturally, not only were they shocked, even Qing Tian, Qing Xuan and the other Elders of the Qing Bloodline were dumbfounded. They initially thought that Mu Chen would have some other methods, but they never expected that he would be so straightforward and choose the most direct method.
But how could he win?!
The Xuan Bloodline had seven Elders, three Spirit Heavenly Sovereigns and four Immortal Heavenly Sovereigns!
If Mu Chen chose to attack, then he would have to obtain four victories to obtain a seat from the Xuan Bloodline. But right now, the help that their Qing Bloodline could provide was limited. Didn't that mean that Mu Chen was going to rely on himself to challenge the Xuan Bloodline?
He's going to rely on himself to defeat the Xuan Bloodline?
Just the thought of it was unbelievable. After all, Mu Chen was only at the Initial Phase Spirit Heavenly Sovereign Realm, and the weakest amongst the seven Elders of the Xuan Bloodline was also at this level.
Most importantly, even if Mu Chen managed to defeat three Spirit Heavenly Sovereigns, he would still have to defeat an Immortal Heavenly Sovereign if he wanted to win.
It was unimaginable for a Spirit Heavenly Sovereign to defeat an Immortal Heavenly Sovereign.
Therefore, from the looks of it, Mu Chen's actions practically had no chance of success.
"What exactly is this kid doing?" Elder Qing Yun couldn't help but ask.
Qing Tian helplessly shook his head. At this moment, there's no point in grumbling. Furthermore, their Qing Bloodline was already in such a terrible state, so even if Mu Chen failed, it wouldn't be much of a difference. At most, they would just lose a little more face.
While the three Elders sighed, Xuan Luo and Mo Xin couldn't help sneering at this scene and ridiculed, "What a reckless fellow. Do you really think that you can be fearless after stepping into the Heavenly Sovereign Realm?
In my Ancient Buddha Clan, a mere Initial Phase Spirit Heavenly Sovereign isn't as capable as he thinks! "
The clansmen of the Xuan Bloodline nodded in agreement. In their opinion, Mu Chen's actions were undoubtedly asking to be humiliated.
The clansmen of the Qing Bloodline exchanged a look. This time, even Qing Ling wore a worried expression. Evidently, she was frightened by Mu Chen's decision.
After all, they were facing seven Heavenly Sovereigns!
How unbelievable would it be for Mu Chen to fight his way through?
"Good, he's truly worthy of being called Mu Chen. His boldness is almost catching up to my father. Big Sister Xiao Xiao, do you think that Mu Chen will win?"
Beside the main peak, Lin Jing clapped her hands and chuckled. She wasn't like the others that felt that Mu Chen was overestimating himself. On the contrary, she was filled with admiration for his boldness.
After a brief pondering, a charming smile appeared on her face. "Mu Chen is someone that plans before taking action, and he won't do anything rash. Since he has done this, then he must have some confidence."
As she spoke, she briefly paused before she smiled, "But I'm also curious where his confidence comes from."
Standing beside the two ladies, Lin Diao and Yao Chen exchanged a look and smiled. "The two of you are really optimistic about him."
Although they spoke in this manner, their expressions clearly showed that they did not think that Mu Chen's actions were reckless. Although they did not have a deep understanding of Mu Chen, the fact that he was able to cause people like Lin Dong and Xiao Yan to think highly of him was sufficient to show that he was definitely not an ordinary person.
Since that's the case, then it's reasonable for him to create miracles.
Amidst the commotion, Xuan Guang coldly looked at Mu Chen's silhouette. At this moment, even with his composure, he couldn't help laughing from the anger. "Good, good, good. You're truly worthy of being the son of Qing Yanjing. Your boldness is truly extraordinary.
"Alright, since you want to experience the strength of my Xuan Bloodline, then I'll fulfil your wish!"
"Elders of the Xuan Bloodline, heed my orders. There's no need to hold back. Let this sinner taste the might of my Xuan Bloodline!"
"Yes!"
Hearing the Bloodline Head's order, the other six Elders responded in a solemn voice before looking at Mu Chen with unfriendly gazes. The latter had challenged their Xuan Bloodline in front of so many people, which was undoubtedly looking down on them. How could they tolerate that?
When the Grand Elder, Futu Xuan, saw this scene, his gaze flickered, but he did not speak. In his view, Mu Chen was too arrogant, and he wanted the Xuan Bloodline to suppress him to let him know that even if he's a Heavenly Sovereign, he's not qualified to do as he pleases in their Ancient Buddha Clan.
But he couldn't allow the Elders of the Xuan Bloodline to kill Mu Chen. If that's the case, then with Qing Yanjing's character, she would definitely feel hatred for the Ancient Buddha Clan. At that time, even if the Ancient Buddha Clan could subdue her, they would have to pay a great price.
That was something that the Grand Elder didn't want to see.
While Futu Xuan was pondering in his heart, Mu Chen wasn't bothered about the ridiculing gazes from the Elders of the Xuan Bloodline. His silhouette slowly descended onto the lowest platform of the Xuan Bloodline.
Instantly, countless gazes were directed over.
Standing on the platform was an Elder of the Xuan Bloodline, Xuan Hai. His cultivation had also reached the Initial Phase Spirit Heavenly Sovereign Realm, and he seemed to be on the same level as Mu Chen.
At this moment, Elder Xuan Hai's robes fluttered as he looked at Mu Chen with a ridiculing smile. "I never expected that someone like Qing Yanjing would give birth to such a foolish son. Your Initial Phase Spirit Heavenly Sovereign Realm cultivation might be able to do whatever you want in the Great Thousand World, but in my Ancient Buddha Clan, it's not as useful as you think."
Facing Elder Xuan Hai's ridicule, Mu Chen didn't seem to have heard it. His gaze had even skipped past Xuan Hai and looked at the platform.
"Brat, you're truly rude!
It looks like you don't have a mother to teach you, and you're just a brat without manners! "Seeing that Mu Chen didn't even bother to look at him, Xuan Hai roared.
Mu Chen slowly retracted his gaze and looked at Xuan Hai without any ripples in his eyes. "Get lost, don't seek trouble for yourself."
"Brat, you're courting death!"
Xuan Hai's face turned red from the anger as he roared. His body instantly burst out with a myriad of spiritual lustre and his silhouette started to grow. He was akin to a miniature giant.
At the same time, his body had also turned into his Spiritual Physique. At the same time, he emanated a powerful might that could shatter the heavens and earth with a wave of his hand.
Boom!
As soon as Xuan Hai revealed his Spirit Body, he no longer held back. He stomped his foot, and a crack appeared on the white jade platform, which was made of special materials.
His silhouette flew out like a spectre and appeared before Mu Chen in a breath's time. Profound runes started to spread out on his Spiritual Physique.
"Spiritual Pulse Divine Ability - Spiritual Hammer!"
A ferocious light flashed in Xuan Hai's eyes. He had immediately executed his Spiritual Pulse Divine Ability. Although he had berated Mu Chen for being a brat, he had also brought out his full strength. That's because he knew that no matter what, Mu Chen was a genuine Spirit Heavenly Sovereign. If Mu Chen didn't bring out his full strength, then he would definitely suffer.
Boom!
Xuan Hai punched out, and his fist instantly swelled up. It was like the hand of a Spiritual God, and as it smashed down, even the void shattered and the earth cracked. Its power was terrifying.
Seeing the might of Xuan Hai's fist, many Heavenly Sovereigns here nodded their heads. Xuan Hai was truly capable since he could become an Elder of the Ancient Buddha Clan.
However, when they looked at Mu Chen, they couldn't help being stunned. That's because they realised that Mu Chen wasn't moving, allowing that fist to fly over.
"That brat doesn't even know how to avoid it? Is he stupid?"
Many people exchanged a look. Xuan Hai had seized the initiative and launched a shocking attack. Under normal circumstances, he would choose to avoid it and find an opportunity to turn the situation around. But why was Mu Chen standing there like a puppet?
Under everyone's shocked gazes, the fist whistled over. But just when it was about to hit Mu Chen's chest, Mu Chen finally made a move.
He stretched his hand out and clashed with that terrifying fist.
Boom!
At the instant of contact, an earth-shattering sound rang out. A shockwave that could be seen with the naked eye spread out, causing cracks to appear on the entire white jade platform. Even the stone slabs were continuously shattering.
As the dust spread out, it gradually dissipated.
Everyone directed their gazes over and their faces changed. They saw that Mu Chen still maintained the posture of blocking Xuan Hai's fist with a single hand.
The surrounding stone slabs were reduced to dust, but An Ran was still standing on the stone slab beneath his feet. It was so much so that he didn't even move his body!
Rustle!
A commotion broke out and many Heavenly Sovereigns squinted their eyes. They never expected that Mu Chen would so easily receive Xuan Hai's fist.
Under the commotion, Xuan Hai's face changed. He felt that his fist had fallen into a black hole. Mu Chen's body was akin to a bottomless pit. No matter how much Spiritual Energy he unleashed, it was futile.
Uneasiness rose in his heart and Xuan Hai intended to retreat. Right now, he could only bring out his Sovereign Immortal Body to fight.
However, just when he was about to retreat, he realised that Mu Chen's hand was like an eagle's claw, firmly grabbing onto his fist, causing him to be unable to retreat.
Raising his head, Xuan Hai saw Mu Chen's indifferent and sharp gaze.
"Since you've used the Spiritual Pulse Divine Ability, then try mine."
Mu Chen indifferently said as he squinted his eyes. Before Xuan Hai could react, purple flames blazed in his palm and spread out along Xuan Hai's fist, enveloping Xuan Hai.
The purple flames caused Xuan Hai to be startled and he immediately circulated his boundless Spiritual Energy to retaliate, intending to extinguish the flames.
Sizzle!
However, the next scene caused his face to turn pale. Not only were the purple flames that came in contact with his Spiritual Energy not extinguished, they even devoured his Spiritual Energy. The flames grew even more vigorous as a terrifying temperature spread out. Under that temperature, even his Spiritual Physique felt an intense pain.
"Argh!"
A mournful shriek resounded from Xuan Hai's mouth. At this moment, he was like a human on fire as he retreated. But no matter how he circulated his Spiritual Energy, he couldn't extinguish the purple flames. Under the high temperature, even his body was starting to burn.
Mu Chen's gaze was indifferent as he took a step forth and lashed a kick at Xuan Hai's mouth. That kick had shattered Xuan Hai's teeth with blood covering his face. Xuan Hai's silhouette was sent flying out of the platform by Mu Chen's kick.
Everyone was dumbfounded at this scene. No one could imagine that Elder Xuan Hai couldn't even take a single move from Mu Chen and was defeated.
When he finished, he disregarded Xuan Hai's shriek and raised his head, calmly looking at the other Elders of the Xuan Bloodline. His calm voice resounded.
"Can't even withstand a single blow. Next."
