Boom!
The gigantic Spiritual King was forced back, its large feet landing on the ground. At this moment, the entire land and mountain range violently trembled a few times. However, the Spiritual King quickly stabilized its body. It seemed to feel somewhat furious, as the rays of brilliance on its gigantic body grew increasingly dense. The rays of brilliance enveloped the entire mountain range.
Roar!
As it roared, it clenched its large hand. Spiritual Energy that blotted the skies condensed over, forming a storm. With a pat of its large hand, a gigantic Spiritual Energy light beam approximately a hundred metres long tore through the horizon, violently rumbling towards the slender and beautiful figure before it.
The Spiritual King did not know any Spiritual Arts. However, it possessed a boundless Spiritual Energy that even Heavenly Completion Stage experts would find hard to match. With such robust Spiritual Energy as its backing, the power that erupted from its every move was sufficient to easily incinerate mountains and boil seas.
As the Spiritual Energy light beam tore through the horizon, a gigantic crack appeared on the mountain range below. Along the way, the peaks of the mountain peaks continuously exploded and shattered.
Zhao Qingshan, Xu Huang, Mu Fengyang and the rest, who had rushed over from afar, felt their hearts shiver. Compared to before, the strength of the Spiritual King was indeed much more tyrannical.
That's why no one had any intentions towards the Spiritual King all these years. It turned out that they were actually this frightening after maturing.
Luo Li's jade-like hand tightly clenched onto the longsword. The young girl lightly inhaled a mouthful of air, causing her chest to rise and fall. Her clear eyes were as cold as frost. Her jade-like finger streaked across the body of the sword, causing a smear of dark-red to surface on the body of the sword.
Humm.
The smear of dark-red was rapidly absorbed by the body of the sword. In the next instant, the azure glowing longsword radiating from it emitted a faint humming sound. At the sharp edge of the sword, specks of water ripples unexpectedly appeared.
This caused it to appear just like a longsword condensed from water ripples, appearing extremely mystical.
"Luo God Sword Art, One Sword Transforming Luo Water."
The Luo God Sword in Luo Li's hand faintly trembled as the tip of the sword danced.
Appearing to carve out cryptic sword flowers, vigorous Spiritual Energy gushed out from her body like a tide. In the next instant, she fiercely chopped down with her sword.
Hua!
As she slashed down with her sword, an azure sword light gushed out.
It had actually transformed into a river of sword light that was a few hundred feet long. As the river surged, it was like an azure dragon as it hovered above Luo Li. Although the river seemed gentle, it was filled with dense sword aura.
Once the river of sword light was formed, it shot out and violently clashed against the incoming Spiritual Energy light beam.
Bang!
A loud noise resounded in the sky as violent Spiritual Energy and sharp Sword Qi swept out.
The mountain was riddled with holes.
It was a complete mess.
Luo Li trembled slightly.
After being forced back two steps, the jade-like hand that was holding onto the longsword did not loosen the slightest bit. Her beautiful eyes stared at the enormous Spirit King.
He had no intention of backing down.
That Spirit King also let out a long angry roar and attacked twice.
However, it was obstructed by the ant-like figure before it, causing it to become even more berserk as it attempted to smash the figure before it into pieces.
Under its fury, it once again took steps that shook the earth and shook the mountains. Its berserk attacks swept out like a torrential storm.
Facing its attacks, the young girl held onto her longsword and did not give in in the slightest. Sword Qi rushed towards the sky, obstructing it.
In the distance, Zhao Qingshan and the rest blankly stared at this scene. In the next instant, they felt a chill run down their backs. Although Luo Li's attacks were only for defense, to be able to defend against the Spirit King's attacks until now, how could it not be said to be a kind of strength?
That's because, if it was any one of them, they might not be able to achieve such a feat. Never in their wildest imaginations did they imagine that the girl that had been quietly following behind Mu Chen, aside from her stunning appearance and temperament, even her strength would be so stunning.
"Formidable."
Xu Huang could not help but let out a soft sigh, with a complicated expression in his eyes. Behind him, Xu Qingqing was also slightly clenching her teeth as she stared at the young girl in the distance, who still had an outstanding temperament under the Spirit King's attacks, and was even more breathtaking. Her eyes contained jealousy and dejection that was difficult to conceal. Compared to the latter, she indeed appeared to be somewhat ashamed of her inferiority.
"However, it's too difficult for her to obstruct the Spirit King by herself. Her defence is getting smaller and smaller. I'm afraid that it won't be long before her defence becomes ineffective."
Xu Huang stared at an even further place. On the mountain peak there, a figure could be faintly seen sitting cross-legged. This caused his eyes to faintly narrow. Was that Mu Chen?
Was he preparing something?
Could it be that the two of them really wanted to directly finish off this Spirit King?
However, was this possible?
Although Mu Chen was not simple, he only had the strength of a Quasi-Heavenly Transformation Stage.
Xu Huang stared at the figure in the distance as his brows tightly knitted together.
While Luo Li was obstructing the Spirit King's footsteps, Mu Chen had already completely isolated himself from the outside world's disturbances. His mind was focused as Spirit Seals after Spirit Seals continuously condensed around his body.
However, the formation of this kind of Spirit Seals gradually slowed down when it reached about one hundred and fifty.
According to the number of Spirit Seals, an ordinary Rank 4 Spiritual Array Master would be able to condense 100 to 200 Spirit Seals. Once the number of Spirit Seals broke through 200, one would possess the qualifications to come into contact with a Rank 5 Spiritual Array Master.
Of course, a Spiritual Array Master would not be able to successfully arrange a Spiritual Array just by condensing a sufficient number of Spirit Seals. A Spiritual Array was an extremely complicated thing. Spirit Seals were only the foundation for constructing a Spiritual Array. How to perfectly link these Spirit Seals into obscure and complicated links, causing them to erupt with the strongest power, was the ability that a Spiritual Array Master needed to possess.
For those grandmaster level Spiritual Array Masters, a casual arrangement of a Spiritual Array would likely require tens of thousands of Spirit Seals. That level of complexity was something that even a Sovereign level expert would not be able to arrange if they did not have the talent for Spiritual Arrays as well as years of practice.
Of course, the current Mu Chen was far from being a grandmaster level figure. He was clearly still at the initial stage on the path of a Spiritual Array Master. The current him still needed to consider how to extricate himself from the predicament before him.
As for the 150 Spirit Seals, it was obviously insufficient to support the Spiritual Array that he needed to arrange.
Inhaling a deep breath of air within his heart, his spirit gradually calmed down, while his mind was completely immersed within the Heart Array State. The current Mu Chen had already reached the point of perfection in his control over the Heart Array State. According to his speculations, the current Heart Array State should be considered as a high-grade Heart Array State. That's because, once he entered this state, Mu Chen would be able to feel as if the scenery of the outside world was being reflected within his spirit, allowing him to reach a near perfect control under a kind of absolute calmness.
However, following the increase in his strength, as well as the increase in the grade of the Spiritual Arrays that he arranged, the advantage that this state brought was gradually becoming weaker.
Mu Chen knew that as long as one had reached the Rank 3 Spiritual Array Master, they would have the chance to comprehend the Heart Array State. In the eyes of those grandmaster level Spiritual Array Masters, this state might only be considered as a low-grade state.
However, although the Heart Array State might not be of a high grade, it was a kind of foundation. Only a Spiritual Array Master that had a deeper understanding of the Heart Array State would be able to comprehend the other high-level states.
As Mu Chen immersed himself within the Spiritual Array State, his mind seemed to have been stripped away as he focused on the condensation of the Spirit Seals. He could feel the minute fluctuations of Spiritual Energy within them, as well as the faint connection that ordinary people would find hard to detect between the Spirit Seals.
With a slight thought, the Spirit Seals that had been condensed and formed quietly disintegrated, drifting away. However, before the Spiritual Energy could dissipate, with a thought, the dissipated Spiritual Energy once again condensed and formed. Furthermore, this time around, it seemed to be even more condensed. Furthermore, there was even some excess Spiritual Energy that was slowly seeping out.
The Spirit Seals that had been formed around Mu Chen started to dissipate. At the same time, Spirit Seals started to condense and form once again.
Form, dissipate, form, dissipate.
It seemed to have formed a perfect cycle. However, within this cycle, no Spiritual Energy was consumed for no reason. On the contrary, the number of Spirit Seals had quietly increased.
The same amount of Spiritual Energy had caused the Spirit Seals to undergo a huge change.
Mu Chen's state of mind was as tranquil as still water. He seemed to have immersed himself within the cycle of dissipation and condensation. After what seemed to be a long period of time, water droplets seemed to drip down from his state of mind, causing circular ripples to appear.
Within the depths of his heart, something seemed to ripple for a moment. Something similar to an eye seemed to slowly blink under the ripples, as if it had opened its eyes.
At the instant that the invisible eye opened, everything within this world appeared within Mu Chen's heart.
The battle between Luo Li and the Spirit King in front of him
Xu Huang, Zhao Qingshan and the rest who were secretly observing from afar
The green mountains and clear waters even further away, as well as the Spiritual Energy rippling between the heavens and earth
The invisible eye examined this world. Everything appeared exceedingly mysterious and bizarre.
"Is this the Mind's Eye?"
A murmur seemed to ring out within Mu Chen's heart. As the ripples gradually disappeared, Mu Chen's eyes abruptly opened. His black pupils appeared exceedingly abstruse. He knew that this state was only temporary, and he was unable to maintain it for long. Therefore, he had to make the most of this short period of time.
Both of his hands suddenly formed a seal. Seemingly at the same time, the Spiritual Seals around his body completely exploded apart. As the Spiritual Energy rippled, Spiritual Seals seemed to be condensed and formed in an instant.
In a short span of a few breaths, rays of brilliance gushed out from Mu Chen's body. In an instant, the number of Spiritual Seals had exceeded two hundred.
The abstruseness within Mu Chen's eyes grew increasingly dense. With a wave of his sleeve, the hundreds of Spiritual Seals rushed towards the sky. As the air fluctuated, they fused with the world. In the next instant, the Spiritual Energy of the entire world turned berserk. Everyone could see an incomparably gigantic light array slowly forming above Mu Chen.
In the next instant, a Spiritual Energy hurricane seemed to blow across the world. Spiritual Energy visible to the naked eye converged into a river of light, endlessly converging towards the gigantic light array.
"That's a Spiritual Array?"
In the distance, as Xu Huang, Zhao Qingshan and the rest looked at the incomparably gigantic Spiritual Array, their hearts trembled as astonishment gushed out from their eyes. A Spiritual Array that was able to possess such might and power was at least a Rank 5 Spiritual Array!
Could it be that the current Mu Chen was actually able to arrange a Spiritual Array of this level?
How was that possible!
