When the golden hand descended, it was akin to the palm of a deity that was filled with a destructive aura. It was as if anything that stood in its path would be reduced to dust.
This move was the perfect fusion of Mu Chen's Saint Physique and Middle Phase Immortal Heavenly Sovereign Realm Spiritual Energy. In terms of power, even an ordinary Saint Heavenly Sovereign would be forced to retreat.
Outside the city, everyone wore grave expressions as they looked at Mu Chen with fear in their eyes.
As for Maha You, his face was pale with unwillingness and fear in his eyes. Half a year ago, Mu Chen had gone all-out, but he could only fight with Maha You with heavy injuries. But at this moment, the gap between the two of them was like a chasm.
This move from Mu Chen could annihilate him thousands of times.
"Bastard, do you think that you can defeat my Elder Brother with such means?
You're dreaming! "
Maha You's face was sinister as he looked at the sky. He was looking forward to Maha Tian unleashing his might and trample Mu Chen beneath his feet to vent the hatred in his heart.
Up in the sky, Maha Tian looked at the massive hand with a grave expression. He felt threatened by Mu Chen's attack.
"That brat cannot be underestimated."
Maha Tian muttered to himself. Facing Mu Chen's all-out attack, even he did not dare to be careless. Thus, he took a deep breath and a black and white radiance emanated from his body. As the radiance condensed, it formed into a black and white barrier that covered Maha Tian's body.
"Spiritual Maha Shell!"
A deep voice resounded as the black and white sphere quietly hovered in the sky, flickering with a divine lustre.
The so-called Spiritual Maha Shell was a top-tiered defensive Divine Ability of the Ancient Maha Clan. Its defensive ability was extremely terrifying, and it could even block the attack of an expert on the same level.
Boom!
The massive hand descended and slammed against the black and white sphere under countless gazes. In that instant of impact, the entire heavens and earth turned silent.
Up in the sky, hundreds of thousands of feet of space shattered like broken glass. Fragments of space fell from the sky.
The black and white sphere shot down from the devastating storm and heavily smashed into the Primordial City like a meteorite.
Rumble!
The entire city started to crumble as a destructive shock wave spread out, destroying all the buildings in the city. In just ten-odd breaths, the ancient city had been reduced to ruins.
Only a massive crater was left in the center of the city.
Everyone looked at the city in shock. They knew that this was the result of the two of them suppressing each other. Otherwise, everything within a hundred thousand miles would be destroyed.
Up in the sky, Mu Chen's sharp gaze was like a hawk as he stared at the crater in the city. A golden light flickered around him, illuminating his body to the point that even his flesh seemed to be forged with gold.
"He's truly worthy of being the Patriarch of the Ancient Maha Clan. How troublesome."
Mu Chen muttered to himself as he looked at the crater with a grave expression.
Although he had gathered all his Saint Physique and Spiritual Energy in his previous attack, Mu Chen could sense that Maha Tian had received it.
Rays of light seemed to rise from within the deep pit. In the next moment, everyone saw a black and white ball of light slowly rising.
The surface of the sphere was covered in cracks. It looked to be on the verge of collapse, but it did not shatter. Thus, one could see how terrifying its defense was.
Crack!
Cracks spread out on the sphere before it gradually dissipated and Maha Tian's silhouette appeared before everyone's eyes once again.
Standing in the sphere, Maha Tian wasn't injured. It was so much so that not even a corner of his clothes was damaged. However, there was a hint of darkness in his eyes.
That's because he had brought out his strongest defense to defend against Mu Chen's attack.
What was his identity?
He was the Patriarch of the Ancient Maha Clan, a pinnacle existence in the Great Thousand World. But half a year ago, he looked at Mu Chen with disdain. At that time, Mu Chen was nothing more than an ant in his eyes, regardless of how outstanding his performance was.
That's because he only needed to stretch his hand out to suppress Mu Chen.
However, only half a year had passed, and the ants in his eyes were already able to force him to the point where he had to unleash his strongest defense in order to remain safe and sound.
For Maha Tian, it was an embarrassment.
However, Maha Tian's rationale told him that if he continued to look down on Mu Chen, he would definitely suffer a great loss.
Huff!
Taking a deep breath, Maha Tian suppressed the rage in his eyes. He had also retracted the contempt in his eyes and returned to his indifferent expression.
However, Mu Chen could sense that at this moment, Maha Tian's Spiritual Energy was circulating perfectly without any flaws. He had abandoned all his emotions and entered his fighting state.
That also meant that Maha Tian had started to treat him as an opponent.
"It's no wonder why he could fight with Emperor Yan back then." Sensing the changes, Mu Chen's eyes trembled. Maha Tian's reputation wasn't just for show. In such a short period of time, Maha Tian could recognize reality and restrain his emotions to face his opponent. That meant that Maha Tian's heart wasn't shaken.
"Mu Chen, for you to be able to reach this step at such a young age, your talent and determination are truly sufficient to look down on the Great Thousand World. If you're given more time, you might even have a seat at the pinnacle of the Great Thousand World."
"But that won't be now. My Ancient Maha Clan has protected the Primordial Immortal Body for tens of thousands of years, and we will not allow anyone to taint it!"
Maha Tian's eyes flickered with black and white as his indifferent voice echoed out. Along with his voice, boundless Spiritual Energy gathered between the heavens and earth and formed into a boundless ocean of Spiritual Energy behind him.
The ocean rolled and the heavens and earth trembled.
Maha Tian roared and the ocean of Spiritual Energy was sucked back into his body. Thereafter, everyone could see Maha Tian's body gradually turning into crystals. However, it was separated into black and white, looking extremely profound.
A terrifying might radiated from the black and white body, causing the space around it to tremble.
"This is the Saint Spiritual Physique!"
Looking at this scene, Mu Chen's eyes turned grave. The Saint Spiritual Physique could be considered a powerful physique, but it was inferior to the Immortal Physique. That's because it wasn't a pure physique, but Spiritual Energy that was integrated into the physique to temporarily transform the physique.
Although the Saint Spiritual Physique was inferior to the Immortal Physique, it was still terrifying with Maha Tian's Middle Phase Saint Heavenly Sovereign Realm cultivation.
Boom!
The black and white silhouette soared into the sky, tearing space apart. In a flash, it appeared before Mu Chen and its fist tore through space as it flew towards Mu Chen.
Mu Chen's gaze flickered as he crossed his arms before him with a golden radiance revolving around him.
Boom!
A deep voice resounded as a few myriad feet of energy ripple spread out. Mu Chen's figure violently trembled as he was sent flying a myriad feet away from that fist.
Rustle!
Before Mu Chen could stabilise himself, Maha Tian's silhouette appeared once again and a terrifying attack rained down. Boom!
Boom! Boom!
In just ten-odd breaths, Mu Chen and Maha Tian had already exchanged a few hundred moves, with Mu Chen being suppressed. After all, Maha Tian had also brought out the power of a Middle Phase Saint Heavenly Sovereign at this moment.
"Mu Chen's cultivation is still too weak. Although he has a Saint Heavenly Sovereign Physique, he's still inferior to Maha Tian." Futu Xuan said as he looked at the battle in the sky.
Behind him, Xuan Guang and Mo Tong couldn't help but bitterly smile when they heard this. You're still not satisfied?
Half a year ago, Mu Chen couldn't even take a single move from a Saint Heavenly Sovereign. But right now, he could even force a pinnacle Middle Phase Saint Heavenly Sovereign like Maha Tian to go all-out. What else could he want?
Qing Yanjing smiled. "In a one-on-one battle, Chen 'er might be suppressed by Maha Tian. But don't forget about Chen' er's Divine Ability."
Futu Xuan was briefly stunned before he squinted his eyes. He saw that Mu Chen had suddenly stopped and a black and white radiance shot out from his body, forming into two identical silhouettes.
The Three Pures.
Three Mu Chen stood in the sky. Aside from the main body, the black and white clones of Mu Chen were enveloped in a golden radiance. All of them possessed a Saint Heavenly Sovereign Physique.
This was the power of the Three Pures. As long as the main body possessed it, the clones would possess it as well.
Whoosh!
A sharp whizzing sound of wind resounded before Maha Tian appeared with a black and white radiance on his fist that was akin to a vortex.
But this time, facing Maha Tian's attack, Mu Chen did not retreat. On the contrary, he unleashed a roar and three silhouettes pounced forth with a golden radiance that clashed with Maha Tian.
Boom!
As the shock wave wreaked havoc, even the sky was shattered. But this time, everyone was shocked that Mu Chen did not take a single step back.
Maha Tian's face was grim, but he did not stop his attacks. They turned into countless afterimages that swept out.
The three Mu Chen faced him head-on with the power of a Saint Heavenly Sovereign Physique fully unleashed.
The entire region was flipped over because of this battle.
A few minutes later, Maha Tian retreated with a grim expression. That's because after Mu Chen executed the Three Pures, Mu Chen could fight him head-on without falling into a disadvantageous position.
Facing Mu Chen, even if he pushed his Saint Spiritual Physique to the limits, he still couldn't gain the upper hand.
An azure radiance flickered on Maha Tian's face before he took a deep breath and formed seals with his hands. Instantly, boundless Spiritual Energy burst out. At the same time, a massive black and white silhouette appeared behind him along with a terrifying pressure.
Between heaven and earth, countless gazes stared at the giant black and white figure with shock. Then, a cry rang out.
"That's the Mighty Maha Body that's ranked 8th in the 99 Rankings of Sovereign Celestial Bodies!"
"Maha Tian is actually forced to this step!"
