CHAPTER 1442: CHAPTER 1442
Rumble!
A violent Spiritual Energy fluctuation wreaked havoc between the heavens and earth like a storm. The powerful Spiritual Energy pressure had caused many people's faces to change as they looked at the youth that descended from the sky with a grave expression.
The silhouette in the sky was naturally Mu Chen, who had rushed over to the Mountain Sea Continent. His silhouette descended from the sky and landed on the peak. Looking at the tears on Nine Nether's face, he couldn't help feeling rage in his heart.
Ever since he got to know Jiu You, she had always shown a strong side to her. Her stubborn character had left a deep impression in Mu Chen's mind. But right now, this strong lady in his impression was actually forced to the point of tears. So one could imagine how much pressure and grievance she was enduring.
"Patriarch Tian Huang, are you guys alright?"
When Mu Chen descended, he looked at Patriarch Tian Huang before he stretched his hand out to support Elder Lu up and cupped his fists. "I'm sorry for being late."
Tian Huang and Elder Lu were dumbfounded as they looked at Mu Chen. Clearly, they couldn't believe that Mu Chen had really come.
That brat actually dared to offend the Phoenix Clan for Jiu You?
"It's not late, not late." Patriarch Tian Huang waved his hand and bitterly said, "It's just that there's nothing we can do about Jiu You Clan, so we had to send Elder Tianque to inform you. I hope that you won't be offended."
When Mu Chen heard his words, he smiled and replied with a serious expression, "What are you saying, Patriarch Tian Huang? Jiu You has taken good care of me back then. If it wasn't for her, I might have already died. Now that she's in trouble, even if I'm at the ends of the world, I will still rush back to help her."
When Patriarch Tian Huang heard his words, he wore a complicated expression. He felt both guilty and gratified in his heart. He felt guilty for his vile heart, and gratified that Jiu You could befriend such a good friend.
Mu Chen briefly spoke with Patriarch Tian Huang and the rest. When Jiu You calmed down, he leaned over and gently smiled when he saw her reddened eyes. "I never expected that you would cry."
Nine Nether wiped the droplets on her face as she lightly glared at him, before stretching her leg out and gave a kick on Mu Chen's foot. "You still dare to make fun of me!"
But shortly after, she faintly said, "You really shouldn't have come."
Although Mu Chen wasn't the same as before, the Phoenix Clan still couldn't be underestimated.
Mu Chen shook his head as he looked at Nine Nether and seriously said, "Back then, who was the one that escorted me out of the Northern Spiritual Realm?
Bring me into the Boundless World?
It's you. Back then, you didn't despise me for being weak. Why would I abandon you today? "
At that time, he was still a weak youth with weak strength. The reason why he was able to pass through numerous dangerous situations was because he had Jiu You's secret protection. If it wasn't for her, Mu Chen would not have been able to reach his current level.
Hearing Mu Chen's words, Jiu You's nose involuntarily turned sour. Her beautiful eyes became watery again. However, in order to maintain her image, she forcefully suppressed it.
"Who are you?
Why are you interfering in the affairs of our bird-type divine beasts? "
As they spoke, an indifferent and noble voice sounded out. The Phoenix King, Huang Jin, looked at Mu Chen without any ripples in his eyes.
When Mu Chen heard those words, he raised his head and looked at the Phoenix King. "I am Mu Chen. I was invited by the Jiu You Clan to protect Jiu You."
His words had instantly caused a commotion in this region and countless gazes were looking at Mu Chen. Clearly, they weren't unfamiliar with this name that had recently risen in the Great Thousand World.
Although he had expected this answer, the Phoenix King still knitted his brows. If an ordinary human Heavenly Sovereign wanted to interfere in this matter, he would probably chase that human Heavenly Sovereign away. However, Mu Chen couldn't be treated in such a manner. His mother was the Grand Elder of the Ancient Buddha Clan, and he had a good relationship with Yan Emperor and Wu Zu. It's so much so that he was also the Demon Slayer King of the Great Thousand Palace. All of those identities made Mu Chen possess a deterrent force.
This made the Phoenix King feel troubled. That's because Mu Chen also had a Saint Heavenly Sovereign behind him. Thus, he couldn't use his Saint Heavenly Sovereign to suppress Mu Chen. Otherwise, he might attract the Saint Heavenly Sovereign behind him. At that time, a battle between Saint Heavenly Sovereigns would definitely shake the heavens and earth.
"Father, you don't have to think too much about it. There's no need for you to worry about such a small matter."
While the Phoenix King was pondering about how to deal with Mu Chen, Huang Xuanzhi smiled as he looked at Mu Chen. "I've long heard of the Mu Abode's Ruler's prestige in the Ancient Buddha Clan. But this is no longer the Ancient Buddha Clan, and you can't use the Protective Spiritual Array here."
Although his words were calm, everyone nodded their heads. According to the information, the reason why Mu Chen could suppress the Elders of the Ancient Buddha Clan was due to the Protective Spiritual Array of the Ancient Buddha Clan. However, his cultivation was only in the Middle Phase Spirit Heavenly Sovereign Realm.
But today, everyone that entered the Deification Pool was a genius of the Supreme Divine Beast Clans. Every single one of them was ferocious, and it's impossible for Mu Chen to show his might in the Ancient Buddha Clan.
Huang Xuanzhi was truly worthy of being the son of the Phoenix King. In just a few words, he had stripped away Mu Chen's achievements and caused his reputation to fall.
Hearing his words, Mu Chen nodded his head with a smile. "The Elders of the Ancient Buddha Clan are a little troublesome, so I had no choice but to borrow the Protective Spiritual Array. But is there a need for such a huge formation for a small show?"
"Haha, the Mu Abode's Ruler is truly heroic."
Huang Xuanzhi smiled as he casually said, "It looks like you're treating us Supreme Divine Beast Clans as nothing."
A playful smile hung on the corner of his lips, but his words were vicious. He was clearly trying to place Mu Chen on the opposite side of the Supreme Divine Beast Clans.
When Huang Xuanzhi's voice resounded, the eyes of the elites of the Supreme Divine Beast Clans flickered as they looked at Mu Chen.
Their gazes were filled with curiosity, indifference, ridicule, and disdain.
"Heh, a mere Middle Phase Spirit Heavenly Sovereign dares to speak so arrogantly here? Aren't you afraid of biting your tongue?!" A sinister laughter resounded with dense disdain.
Countless gazes immediately looked over. After which, they saw a gloomy and gloomy looking man standing with his hands behind his back on a nearby mountain top. His lips were like the edge of a blade, giving off a harsh and cold feeling.
Behind him, there were tens of thousands of spiritual lights that vaguely seemed to be a giant bird that seemed to be forged from gold and looked like a phoenix or a sculpture.
"That's the genius of the Golden Phoenix Condor Clan, Fang Jing. The Golden Phoenix Condor Clan has a bloodline relationship with the Phoenix Clan, and they're extremely close to the Phoenix Clan. They can be considered the Phoenix Clan's staunch ally."
Patriarch Tian Huang, who was standing beside Mu Chen, spoke out with an unsightly expression.
"A mere Late Phase Spirit Heavenly Sovereign is nothing to worry about."
With a smile, Mu Chen paid no attention to Fang Jing's provocation. It was so much so that he didn't even take a glance at the latter.
In his view, Fang Jing was just a clown that was trying to get on Huang Xuanzhi's good side.
"Heh, you're courting death!"
When Fang Jing heard these words, he let out an angry laugh. However, he did not flare up on the spot. Instead, he stared at Mu Chen with an ominous glint in his eyes.
"You don't have to provoke us. Not many people are fools, and you will know how much I, Mu Chen, am capable of." Mu Chen paid no attention to Fang Jing and looked at Huang Xuanzhi with a calm tone.
The playful smile on Huang Xuanzhi's face gradually retracted as he coldly looked at Mu Chen. "I, Huang Xuanzhi, am determined to obtain the Undying Bird's Bloodline!"
Looking at Huang Xuanzhi as well, Mu Chen slowly said, "I've also said that you're not qualified."
The entire region was silent as the two of them faced each other, which made many people inwardly smack their lips. The two of them were truly a battle between a dragon and a tiger. One of them was a peerless genius of the Phoenix Clan, while the other was a genius of the Great Thousand World.
However, no one knew who would be the one laughing in the end.
Buzz!
Just as the two of them were in a state of mutual hostility, ripples suddenly appeared on the emerald lake at the intersection of the mountain range. Boundless spiritual light surged into the sky like a fountain.
Rumble!
Instantly, an indescribable Spiritual Energy pressure burst out. Under that pressure, even Mu Chen had slightly narrowed his eyes. That's because he could see that the spiritual light that gushed out had formed into many silhouettes on the surface of the lake. Those silhouettes were all sorts of avian Divine Beasts.
Evidently, those silhouettes were the Heavenly Sovereigns that died in the lake.
"This lake isn't simple."
Mu Chen muttered to himself. Although the lake was only roughly a thousand feet in size, Mu Chen's perception told him that the lake was boundless, as if it was a world of its own.
"The Deification Pool is about to open. Everyone, prepare yourselves." Huang Jin's voice resounded at this scene.
Hearing his words, the atmosphere in this region tensed up and the eyes of the geniuses of the Supreme Divine Beast Clans blazed.
Buzz!
In the next moment, waves rose in the emerald lake, breaking the silence. It felt as if the seal on the surface had been unlocked with torrential spiritual light wreaking havoc.
"Enter!"
Along with Huang Jin's roar, streaks of light soared into the sky before they dived down and charged into the emerald lake.
When they dived into the lake, they instantly disappeared, as if they had entered another world.
Those geniuses were all alone. According to the rules, only those beneath the Heavenly Sovereign Realm could bring along a protector, and they clearly didn't need one.
Jiu You took a deep breath and looked at Mu Chen. "You really won't regret it?
Otherwise, there will definitely be an intense battle when we enter. "
With a smile, Mu Chen stretched his hand out.
"You've protected me for so many years, and now, it's my turn to protect you."
A charming smile appeared on Nine Nether's face, which was exceptionally alluring. Thereafter, she stretched her hand out and gently held onto Mu Chen's hand.
In the next moment, the two of them turned into two rays of light and shot out. In the end, under the gazes of countless people, they charged into the emerald lake with a splash.
