Rumble!
As the ocean rolled, a sacred and ancient hand broke through the surface of the ocean, shattering space as it grabbed towards Mu Chen.
Under its shadow, even space had frozen, sealing all of Mu Chen's paths of retreat.
Shi Luo had brought out his full power in this move, and even a Late Phase Immortal Heavenly Sovereign would be heavily injured by it.
After all, the Sacred Buddha Hand was one of the Divine Abilities of the Great Spiritual Mountain, and its might was only inferior to the 36 Peerless Divine Abilities. Thus, its fame resounded throughout the Great Thousand World. In the past, many experts were defeated by this move of Shi Luo's.
Outside the Primordial Immortal Pagoda, everyone held their breaths as they looked at the Spiritual Energy mirror. Everyone here had heard of Shi Luo's Divine Ability, so they knew that Shi Luo wasn't holding back this time.
If Mu Chen couldn't withstand it, just this move alone would be sufficient to defeat him.
Under the countless gazes, Mu Chen also looked at the ancient sacred hand and closed his eyes. A crystallised lustre soared into the sky from the top of his head and formed into an ancient crystal pagoda.
Buzz!
Buzz! The crystal pagoda emitted a buzzing noise and a crystallised lustre blossomed. Thereafter, eight ferocious demonic figures appeared on the pagoda before they leaped out of the pagoda and stood around the pagoda like eight demonic gods.
Mu Chen's expression was solemn. Facing an opponent like Shi Luo, he did not dare to underestimate him. Thus, he had immediately brought out the Eight-Divisional Pagoda.
Boom!
Boundless Spiritual Energy swept out from Mu Chen's body and charged towards the eight Asura-Like Demonic Deities, which were devoured by them.
As they devoured the boundless Spiritual Energy, bizarre runes spread out on the eight Demon Gods' bodies and in the next instant, they formed seals at the same time.
Whoosh!
Eight rays of light shot out from their bodies and intertwined with each other, forming a light formation that emitted terrifying power.
Boundless Spiritual Energy gathered at the centre of the array, before being compressed into a crimson ball of light. The ball of light looked corporeal with mottled marks on it, vaguely emitting destructive fluctuations.
"Eight Divisional Stupa, Buddha Devil Jade!"
Mu Chen's roar resounded in his heart. In the next instant, the light array shattered and the crimson sphere that contained the power of the eight demonic statues shot out, causing space to collapse in its path.
At this moment, the sacred hand had also enveloped over and clashed with the crimson sphere under countless shocked gazes.
Boom!
Boom! An indescribable commotion resounded and a terrifying shock wave swept out, as if it wanted to destroy this boundless ocean. A massive crater that was a myriad feet deep was torn on the surface of the ocean. It was so much so that even the seabed was riddled with holes.
When everyone outside the Primordial Immortal Pagoda saw this confrontation, they sucked in a cold breath. Even a Late Phase Immortal Heavenly Sovereign wouldn't be able to endure this confrontation.
No one expected that this battle would be even more ferocious than a confrontation between two genuine Late Phase Immortal Heavenly Sovereigns.
As they exclaimed, their gazes were fixed on the Spiritual Energy mirror.
A terrifying shock wave wreaked havoc as the massive hand and crimson sphere exploded at the same time. Mu Chen and Shi Luo bore the brunt of the shock wave before they were blown out and their feet left long waves on the surface of the ocean.
After Mu Chen flew back a few ten thousand feet, he finally stabilised his body. His fingertips were slightly trembling. The impact that he had withstood earlier had caused the blood in his body to boil.
Shi Luo had also stabilized his body with a grave expression. He never expected that he wouldn't be able to obtain the upper hand even after executing a Divine Ability like the Sacred Buddha Palm.
"The Eight-Divisional Pagoda is truly worthy of its reputation."
Shi Luo's voice was solemn. He had some information about Mu Chen, so he naturally knew the origin of the Divine Ability that the latter had executed.
If it was an ordinary Late Phase Immortal Heavenly Sovereign that Mu Chen had executed, it wouldn't be a match for it.
"Your Sacred Buddha Palm isn't bad, either." Mu Chen said.
Shi Luo sighed and joined his hands together. A golden lustre gathered behind him and a massive purplish-golden silhouette appeared, emanating an immortal aura.
Facing this situation, Shi Luo had no choice but to bring out his Immortal Golden Body.
When Shi Luo brought out his Immortal Golden Body, a massive purplish-golden silhouette also appeared behind Mu Chen and faced him from afar.
Boom!
In the next moment, two enormous figures shot out from the sea. Hundreds of Divine Immortal Runes whistled through the air as they condensed, and in the end, they transformed into golden light that shot out explosively. Every time they collided, it would shake the heavens and the earth, and huge waves would rise on the sea.
Boom! Boom!
Boom! In just a few minutes, the two purplish-golden giants had exchanged hundreds of blows. If it wasn't for the ocean constantly recovering, it would've been destroyed by the two of them if it was any other land.
Standing on the shoulder of the Immortal Golden Body, Mu Chen's silhouette was akin to a boulder as he knitted his brows at the intense confrontation. Shi Luo's strength had exceeded his expectations.
A few months ago, he was able to suppress Huang Xuan with the Eight-Divisional Pagoda. But now, the Eight-Divisional Pagoda could only achieve a draw against Shi Luo.
Evidently, he had to use stronger means to win.
"I can't drag this any longer."
Mu Chen's gaze flickered. There should be three other battles like this one. If Maha You, Ye Qing, and Tuoba Cang didn't fight, then their battles should have ended faster, unlike his battle, which was in a stalemate.
Thus, he had to end this battle as soon as possible. Otherwise, it would be a great exhaustion for both sides. Not to mention that he still had to face other troublesome opponents.
Thus, he had to end this battle as soon as possible.
Thinking about it, Mu Chen's eyes flashed with decisiveness. He waved his hand and the Immortal Golden Body retreated. The ring on his finger flickered and a current swept out, forming into a troop filled with Battle Will. It was the Black Dragon Army.
The sudden appearance of this troop had caused a commotion outside the Primordial Immortal Pagoda with many people looking at it with shock. Judging from the looks of it, Mu Chen was actually a Battle Formation Master?
Could it be that he intends to borrow the power of Battle Will?
Maha Tian squinted his eyes as he looked at that troop with the Elders of the Ancient Maha Clan exclaiming. Mu Chen was truly a genius. Not only was he powerful, but he also had decent attainments as a Battle Formation Master.
That troop didn't look simple, since it was filled with killing intent.
"Rumor has it that Mu Chen has a Black Dragon Army with the previous owner being the Black Dragon Battle Emperor. He was extremely famous in ancient times, and back then, he commanded the Black Dragon Army and killed many Monarchs." Maha Tian faintly said.
"But the Black Dragon Army isn't as powerful as it was in the past. It can barely confront a Late Phase Immortal Heavenly Sovereign Realm, so it's tough for him to win. So it's a little too wishful for Mu Chen to rely on that troop to defeat Shi Luo."
The other Elders of the Ancient Maha Clan nodded their heads in agreement.
On the ocean
Looking at the troop that appeared out of nowhere, Shi Luo replied, "Mu Abode's troop isn't weak, but it won't be of much use."
Standing behind Mu Chen, Commander Jiang Long also looked at Shi Luo with a bitter smile. "Lord Mu, your opponent is getting stronger every time he comes out. Late Phase Immortal Heavenly Sovereign Realm. If our Black Dragon Army is at its peak, we naturally wouldn't be afraid. But right now, it's tough for us to defeat them."
Mu Chen smiled. He naturally knew about the Black Dragon Army, and it's impossible for him to defeat Shi Luo with just the Black Dragon Army.
"It's fine, I know what I'm doing."
Mu Chen nodded his head towards Jiang Long.
Seeing this, Jiang Long did not speak any further. His figure moved and flew back to the army. With a wave of the war flag in his hand, the fifteen thousand warriors immediately let out a deep roar. In the next instant, torrential Battle Will turned into an ocean that spread across the horizon.
Flicking his finger, the Immortal Golden Body beneath Mu Chen's feet charged forth. When Shi Luo saw this, he also charged forth with the Immortal Golden Body.
The battle between the two massive figures swept up massive waves.
Standing above the ocean of Battle Will, Mu Chen formed seals with a single hand. Instantly, the ocean of Battle Will surged and condensed into a massive Dragon Battle Will Spirit that soared into the sky and unleashed an earth-shattering roar.
The Dragon Battle Spirit's huge body was covered with 50 million battle runes, a sight that would make one's scalp go numb.
The number of Battle Runes was comparable to an ordinary Late Phase Immortal Heavenly Sovereign.
However, Shi Luo maintained a calm expression. Fifty million Battle Runes might pose a threat to ordinary Late Phase Immortal Heavenly Sovereigns, but it wasn't something that he placed in his eyes.
"Mu Chen is really wasting his effort. I'm afraid that the power of fifty million Battle Runes isn't even comparable to his Eight-Divisional Pagoda." Everyone outside the Primordial Immortal Pagoda whispered. They had no idea why Mu Chen was doing something so useless.
Mu Chen wasn't bothered by those gazes. He looked at the 50,000,000 Battle Runes on the body of the Battle Will Dragon and his gaze flickered with a will in his heart.
A black and white radiance shot out from his body and turned into a black and white Mu Chen that stood beside him.
He gently nodded his head at the two silhouettes before the black and white Mu Chen took a step forward and formed a magical formation with his main body.
Mu Chen swiftly formed seals with his hands and a voice resounded from his mouth in the next moment.
"Spiritual Trinity Battle Formation."
Boom!
In that instant when the Spiritual Array was formed, Mu Chen's body trembled and a boundless Battle Will burst out like a surging current that tore through the horizon.
As the boundless Battle Will rose, it was poured into the Dragon Battle Will Spirit under Mu Chen's control.
Roar!
The Dragon Battle Will Spirit unleashed an ear-deafening roar as its body rapidly expanded. Furthermore, the Battle Runes on its body also grew at a terrifying speed.
Fifty-five million to sixty million!
"It's still not enough!"
Mu Chen's head nearly exploded. The Battle Will Spirit had exceeded his control, causing tears of blood to roll down from the corner of his eyes.
But he still didn't stop. His young face was cold. He endured the pain of his head exploding and frantically poured battle intent into the battle intent dragon.
Thus, the number of Battle Runes skyrocketed once again.
63 million, 65 million, and finally, the number of battle patterns stopped at 68 million!
At this moment, the Dragon Battle Runes covered the sky like a dragon of destruction.
Shi Luo raised his head and looked at the giant dragon flickering with countless Battle Runes. His face, which had always been calm, finally showed shock.
