Buzz!
Buzz! The ancient pagoda quietly floated with eight sinister demonic statues around it, emanating a torrential ominous aura that even caused space to distort.
"That's the legendary Eight-Divisional Pagoda?!"
Exclamations of shock rang out from the surroundings of the Deification Pool as they looked at the eight sinister demonic statues. Clearly, they had recognised them.
"Not only has Mu Chen cultivated the Three Pures, but he also has the Eight-Divisional Pagoda. Out of the 36 Peerless Divine Abilities, he actually managed to cultivate two of them."
Everyone inwardly smacked their lips. There were countless Divine Abilities in the Great Thousand World, but only the 36 Peerless Divine Abilities stood at the pinnacle.
The reason why Huang Xuanzhi could be so heaven-defying was due to the Nine Circulation Saint Art, which was also one of the 36 Peerless Divine Abilities. But right now, Mu Chen managed to cultivate two of them!
So how could they not be shocked?
Looking at the mirror, Huang Jin's face was unsightly. He never expected that not only did Mu Chen resist Huang Xuanzhi's ultimate move, he even launched a ferocious counterattack.
Behind him, the faces of the Elders of the Real Phoenix Clan changed with a trace of worry in their eyes. That's because they could tell that Huang Xuanzhi's advantage was getting smaller.
Mu Chen's strength had already reached the Initial Phase Immortal Heavenly Sovereign Realm, and he wasn't any weaker than Huang Xuanzhi. Adding the Eight-Divisional Pagoda into the equation, how terrifying would his ultimate move be?
"I hope that the Young Patriarch can withstand it. There's a limit to Mu Chen's strength, and as long as he withstands this attack, his strength will swiftly decline. At that time, it will be the best opportunity!"
"That's right. As long as he withstands it, Mu Chen will definitely suffer a crushing defeat!"
Standing on the golden phoenix, Huang Xuanzhi coldly looked at the eight demonic statues. The Elders of the Real Phoenix Clan had the same thoughts as him.
Although Mu Chen's aura was invincible, as long as he could withstand this brief moment, Mu Chen would definitely be beaten back to his original state.
"Since you want to fight, then I'll accompany you to the end!"
Huang Xuanzhi's eyes turned bloodshot. As the Young Patriarch of the Real Phoenix Clan, he naturally had a prideful personality. Although Mu Chen's aura was torrential, he didn't believe that Mu Chen could do anything to him if he tried his best to defend.
Mu Chen paid no attention to Huang Xuanzhi's cold gaze. He raised his head and looked at the eight demonic statues outside the pagoda. Forming seals with a single hand, a pillar soared into the sky that contained boundless Spiritual Energy that stirred the ocean.
Roar!
As the pillar of light that supported the heavens soared up, the eight demonic statues suddenly issued low roars, as if they had been revived. Opening their bloody mouths, they fiercely sucked in, devouring the pillar of light that contained boundless Spiritual Energy.
After devouring the boundless Spiritual Energy, the baleful aura of the eight demonic statues started to surge. The baleful aura even made the spectators around the Deification Pool feel a chill down their spines. It was as if the demonic statues were about to come to life.
After all, those demonic statues were refined from the corpses of hundreds of Monarchs. In the Great Thousand World, that would be equivalent to hundreds of Heavenly Sovereigns, which was simply shocking.
Glancing at Huang Xuanzhi without any expression, Mu Chen formed seals with his hands.
Along with his seals changing, the eight demonic statues had also executed the same seals. In the next moment, eight crimson beams spread out from their palms and linked together, forming into a complicated octagonal array.
Within the light formation, the Baleful Qi surged crazily. Then, it began to be continuously compressed. In the end, it formed a dark red ball of light that was approximately three feet in size.
The sphere was covered in crimson runes that emanated a baleful aura. Just a glance at it could cause the Spiritual Energy of a Spirit Heavenly Sovereign to fluctuate and lose control.
Huang Xuanzhi had also sensed the terrifying fluctuation and his pupils contracted with his face slightly distorted with shock in his eyes.
Evidently, he had sensed a fatal danger from the crimson sphere.
However, Mu Chen did not give him much time to think. He deeply inhaled a mouthful of air and a deep voice slowly rang out from his mouth. "" "" "" "" "" "
Eight Divisional Pagoda - Pagoda Demonic Jade!
Boom!
When his voice resounded, the ominous aura between the heavens and earth flourished and the eight demonic statues unleashed roars. At the same time, the crimson sphere shot out towards Huang Xuanzhi.
Crack! Crack!
In the path of the crimson sphere, space violently collapsed with the destructive might that left everyone outside the Deification Pool dumbfounded with fear in their eyes.
Looking at the crimson sphere, Huang Xuanzhi felt a chill rising from the bottom of his feet. At this moment, even he could sense the aura of death.
If he were to be struck by that dark red ball of light, even he would die here today.
"This is the power of the Eight-Divisional Pagoda?
It's truly terrifying! "
A ferocious light flickered in Huang Xuanzhi's eyes. At this moment, it was already too late for him to retreat. Since that's the case, then he could only do his best to resist. Although Mu Chen's means were shocking, it wouldn't be easy for him to be a fish on the chopping block!
Roar!
A deep roar burst out from Huang Xuanzhi's throat and his hands swiftly formed seals before he bit on his tongue and spat out a mouthful of blood essence.
That mouthful of blood essence was golden, which made Huang Xuanzhi's face turn a little pale. However, he couldn't be bothered about that and the golden halo behind his head devoured the blood essence.
Boom!
After swallowing that mouthful of golden essence blood, the golden halo abruptly expanded and an unfathomable might was emitted. Shortly after, rays of golden light shot out.
Whoosh! Whoosh!
Whoosh! This time, eight golden beams shot out at the same time and hovered around Huang Xuanzhi. It was another eight top-tiered Divine Abilities. However, even after using eight Divine Abilities, the halo behind Huang Xuanzhi did not stop revolving. On the contrary, the ninth golden beam was slowly being squeezed out.
With Huang Xuanzhi's current strength, he couldn't bring out the ninth Divine Ability, but he could only force it under the current situation.
Pffft!
Looking at the ninth golden ray, Huang Xuanzhi's eyes flickered with a ferocious light before he spat out another mouthful of golden blood essence and integrated it into the wheel. This time, the ninth ray was finally formed.
However, this forceful action caused some fine cracks to appear on the golden light wheels.
This made Huang Xuanzhi feel heartache. He knew that even if he won today, he would need a long time to recover.
"Damn Mu Chen!"
Huang Xuanzhi gnashed his teeth with killing intent flickering in his eyes. "Since you want to defeat me with an ultimate move, I will let you know how naïve you are!"
"Nine Circulation Saint Art - Nine Circulation Phoenix Alms Bowl!"
A deep roar abruptly resounded as the nine dazzling golden lights gathered together and violently revolved, forming into a massive alms bowl with a True Phoenix soaring on it, emitting a clear cry. At the same time, phoenix flames spewed from its mouth, as if it could destroy the heavens and earth.
As the alms bowl revolved, it enveloped Huang Xuanzhi. This was the strongest Divine Ability of the Nine Circulation Saint Art. Although he was barely able to execute it, its power was still unfathomable.
Huang Xuanzhi's eyes turned red as he looked at Mu Chen. He refused to believe that Mu Chen could break through his defenses!
As long as he could withstand this attack, Mu Chen's life would be in his hands!
"Come!"
Under Huang Xuanzhi's roar, the crimson sphere descended from the sky and slammed against the Golden Phoenix Alms Bowl.
Rumble!
In that instant, it felt as if the heavens and earth trembled with waves sweeping up from the bottom of the ocean. It was so much so that the tremor even spread to the lake, causing countless waterfalls to erupt and rain that enveloped the entire forest.
The faces of everyone from the Divine Beast Clans changed. One must know that the Deification Pool was a vast space, but even so, the shock waves from the clash between Mu Chen and Huang Xuanzhi still spread out.
How terrifying was this confrontation?!
Torrential rain poured down. However, everyone's gazes were firmly fixed on the water mirror. Within it, a resplendent light was wreaking havoc. This continued for several minutes before it gradually dissipated.
Everyone, including the Phoenix King and Patriarch Tian Huang, held their breaths as they stared at Lin Yun.
The light in the water mirror gradually disappeared, and the scene once again became clear. After which, everyone's pupils shrunk as they saw the Golden Phoenix Alms Bowl flickering with golden light. A dark red ball of light was rotating above the Golden Phoenix Alms Bowl, and it was continuously shrinking.
"He blocked it?!"
The elders of the Phoenix Clan were overjoyed when they witnessed this scene because they could sense that the energy within the dark red ball of light was swiftly dissipating.
In just a few breaths, the crimson sphere had shrunk to the size of a human head.
Huang Xuanzhi also had joy on his face. His victory was about to fall into his hands!
Crack!
But it was also at this moment that a cracking sound rang out. Huang Xuanzhi abruptly raised his head and his pupils narrowed. He saw a small crack on the alms bowl where the crimson sphere landed.
Crack! Crack!
This tiny crack was like a breached dam. As soon as it appeared, the crack spread rapidly, covering every corner of the alms bowl in a single breath's time.
At this moment, the crimson sphere was only the size of a palm.
"You've lost."
Mu Chen slowly said without any expression on his face from afar.
Boom!
When Mu Chen finished his last word, the Golden Phoenix Alms Bowl had finally reached its limit and exploded in that instant.
With shock in his eyes, Huang Xuanzhi unfurled his wings and wanted to retreat.
Whoosh!
However, at that moment, the palm-sized dark red ball of light descended and blasted his chest without holding back.
Half of Huang Xuanzhi's body exploded at this moment, and the golden phoenix beneath his feet froze before it exploded into specks of golden light.
Huang Xuanzhi's silhouette powerlessly fell under the golden radiance.
At this moment, the atmosphere outside the Deification Pool had also frozen.
