When Mu Chen's silhouette landed on the platform that Elder Hei Guang was on, the entire region was still in a state of shock and everyone was silent.
The silence lasted for a long time before someone muttered with great difficulty, "That's one of the 36 Peerless Divine Abilities of the Great Thousand World, the Eight-Divisional Pagoda, right?"
The various forces here were naturally experienced, so they had swiftly recognised the earth-shattering Divine Ability that Mu Chen had executed.
The destructive prowess contained in that black beam made all the Heavenly Sovereigns feel their scalps going numb. Aside from the 36 Peerless Divine Abilities of the Great Thousand World, what else could it be?
"I never expected that he would actually succeed in cultivating the Eight-Divisional Pagoda."
The Elders of the Ancient Buddha Clan, especially those from the Xuan and Mo Bloodlines, had their eyes turning red as they looked at Mu Chen with jealousy. It's as if they wanted to snatch that Divine Ability for themselves.
As Heavenly Sovereigns, they knew what the 36 Peerless Divine Abilities represented to them. If they possessed them, they would be invincible amongst those in the same realm.
Just think about it, there were so many Heavenly Sovereigns in the Great Thousand World, but there were only 36 Peerless Divine Abilities.
Even with the unfathomable foundation of their Ancient Buddha Clan, there weren't many Peerless Divine Abilities that could be comparable to the 36 Peerless Divine Abilities.
On the peak that Mu Chen was on, Qing Shuang covered her mouth with her hands. At this moment, she couldn't maintain her usual cold demeanor and her body trembled.
They initially thought that their Qing Bloodline would suffer a destructive blow this time, but who could have expected that Mu Chen's appearance would turn the situation around?
"Mu Chen, you can do it!" Qing Shuang muttered.
Beside her, Ling Xi smiled and patted her shoulder, causing the latter to smile in embarrassment and gradually calm down.
"Sister Ling Xi, can Mu Chen win?"
Qing Shuang asked with a hint of expectation. Although she knew that even though Mu Chen had won two rounds, his next opponent would be stronger.
Ling Xi smiled faintly, appearing gentle and graceful as she said, "Don't worry. Since Mu Chen has decided to take action, he naturally has the confidence to do so. We only need to wait."
Qing Shuang nodded her head and stared at the figure in the distance with splendor in her eyes.
On another mountain peak, Lin Jing clapped her lily-white hands and said with a smile, "Mu Chen won beautifully."
In these two battles, Mu Chen didn't have the slightest intention of probing his opponent's strength. He used his full strength right from the start and didn't even hesitate to reveal his trump cards. In this way, his achievements were extremely brilliant and shocking. In just two moves, he won in a clean and efficient manner, causing the blood of the spectators to boil slightly.
Xiao Xiao nodded with admiration in her eyes.
"Looks like Mu Chen has a lot of resentment for the Ancient Buddha Clan."
On the other hand, Yao Chen chuckled from the side. With his shrewd eyesight, he could tell with a single glance that Mu Chen had done this on purpose. That's because he had come here today to vent the anger that he had endured for over twenty years. This anger was for him, for his father who had been separated from his wife for so many years, and for his mother who had been imprisoned for so many years. Therefore, the victory that he wanted wasn't an evenly matched battle, but a clean and decisive one, with the force of a thunderbolt.
If that's the case, then the Xuan Bloodline would lose a lot of face.
"But this method can only be used when one has absolute confidence. If the two of them fight on equal grounds, then the one who reveals his trump card first will lose the initiative."
Lin Diao also commented. However, even as he spoke, admiration was present on his face. That's because the fact that Mu Chen had chosen to fight in such a manner meant that he had confidence in himself.
It was the same confidence that he had seen in Lin Dong in the past.
Standing on the platform, Elder Hei Guang's face was a little dark as he looked at the youth that was walking over. Looking at the latter, a dense fear flashed in the depths of his eyes.
The means that Mu Chen had displayed, be it the bizarre purple flames or the domineering Eight-Divisional Pagoda, had made Elder Hei Guang feel a trace of fear in his heart.
His strength was stronger than Xuan Hai and Xuan Feng, being in the Late Phase Spirit Heavenly Sovereign Realm. But facing Mu Chen, he still didn't have much confidence.
"Damn it, how did that fellow become so powerful?!"
Hei Guang cursed in his heart with regret in his heart. He wasn't regretting the fact that he had provoked Mu Chen, but he regretted that he wasn't more decisive when Mu Chen was only a Perfected Earth Sovereign.
Even if he didn't have to kill Lin Dong, he could at least cripple Lin Dong's cultivation and turn him into a piece of trash. That way, he wouldn't have to face the tribulation today.
While Hei Guang's gaze flickered, Mu Chen looked at him and smiled. "Are you thinking why you didn't kill me back then?"
Hei Guang trembled when he heard Mu Chen's words. He could sense that although Mu Chen was smiling, his words were filled with an endless chill and killing intent.
But he was, after all, an Elder of the Ancient Buddha Clan with an illustrious status. Thus, he swiftly calmed his heart and looked at Mu Chen with a dark gaze. "Mu Chen, don't go too far. It's good for young people to be spirited, but if you go too far, I'm afraid that you will be easily broken."
"If your Profound Vein is that capable, then show it to me." Mu Chen casually said.
"You!"
Hei Guang raged, but when he saw Mu Chen's cold gaze, his heart trembled and he couldn't help feeling embarrassed.
"You're still not going to make a move?"
Mu Chen stared at him as he spoke with an indifferent tone. Thereafter, he extended his slender, jade-like palm with spiritual light dancing on it. "If you're not going to make a move, then I will."
Hearing his words, Hei Guang gnashed his teeth. Just when he was about to circulate his Spiritual Energy, he suddenly received a voice transmission in his ears, "Hei Guang, use the secret art and go all-out. Even if you can't win, you have to break his spirit. Someone else will deal with him next."
Hearing that voice transmission, Hei Guang's gaze flickered before he cast a glance at Xuan Guang of the Xuan Bloodline. That voice transmission naturally came from the latter.
"Should I use the secret art?"
Hei Guang briefly hesitated. If he did that, then even with his Heavenly Sovereign Realm recovery ability, he would be weakened for at least half a year.
However, he also understood Xuan Guang's intention. Mu Chen's spirit was too strong right now, and if he continued to fight, even if he couldn't win the fourth round, it would be sufficient to make their Xuan Bloodline suffer.
With so many supreme forces spectating, if their Xuan Bloodline was defeated by a sinner, it would undoubtedly be a humiliation for their Xuan Bloodline.
Therefore, no matter what, Hei Guang couldn't allow Mu Chen to obtain such an unstoppable victory like before.
He had to stop Mu Chen and break his spirit. For the fourth round, their Xuan Bloodline would be able to send out an Immortal Heavenly Sovereign. At that time, it would be easy for them to deal with Mu Chen.
"Alright!"
After a brief hesitation, Hei Guang gritted his teeth. After witnessing Mu Chen's means, even he wasn't confident that he could take on Mu Chen's attacks. Since that's the case, then he might as well risk his life.
"Brat, I'll let you know what it means to be too firm and easy to break!"
Hei Guang coldly roared in his heart before he retreated and sneered, "Mu Chen, don't be complacent. Try taking a move from me today!"
Boom!
Along with his voice, a massive Sovereign Immortal Body appeared behind Hei Guang, along with a massive Spiritual Energy storm that wreaked havoc between the heavens and earth.
When the Sovereign Immortal Body appeared, Hei Guang took a deep breath and formed a weird seal with his hands.
At the same time, the Sovereign Immortal Body behind him also formed seals.
In the distance, the pupils of Qing Tian, Qing Xuan, and the other elders constricted when they saw this scene, and they said with astonishment, "Shameless!
It's actually the Spiritform Secret Art! "
As they exclaimed, Hei Guang revealed a vicious smile towards Mu Chen and eerily said, "Since you're so overbearing, then don't blame this old man for being ruthless."
As he spoke, his stomach suddenly swelled up. At the same time, the Sovereign Immortal Body behind him also swelled up. In the next moment, he opened his mouth and suddenly spat.
There were starry currents constantly surging out from the mouths of Hei Guang and the Sovereign Immortal Body behind him. The momentum seemed to be able to annihilate the ages.
As the starry river constantly whistled out, Hei Guang's body swiftly dried up, while the Sovereign Immortal Body had also started to dim down. It was as if the two of them had turned into the endless starry river.
When the Heavenly Sovereigns saw this scene, their faces couldn't help changing as they exclaimed, "Is Hei Guang insane? He actually disintegrated the Sovereign Immortal Body?!"
The Sovereign Immortal Body was one of the strongest fighting forces of the Heavenly Sovereign Realm. If it disintegrated, then it would require a lot of time and energy to refine. Furthermore, it might even cause damage to it.
Thus, not many people would use this method, since it was a method that harmed others without benefiting oneself. It was a method that killed a thousand enemies, but also a thousand of oneself.
Whoosh!
Between the heavens and earth, the current of stars whistled as it enveloped towards Mu Chen. The might of it was as if even the sun and moon could be extinguished by it.
Everyone wore grave expressions. Previously, Mu Chen's drive was too strong, so Hei Guang would use such an extreme method to obstruct him and destroy his drive to protect the face of the Xuan Bloodline.
"Hei Guang is truly ruthless. This time, Mu Chen is in trouble."
