A baleful aura that blotted the skies swept out from the sky, covering the skies and covering the earth. Even the scorching sun was completely covered by it, causing the entire region to sink into darkness.
Countless people stared in shock at the gigantic demonic pillar that had appeared behind Mu Chen. That demonic pillar was approximately a thousand metres long, appearing like a pillar that supported the heavens as it stood tall and erect between the heavens and earth, radiating frightening fluctuations.
Faced against that gigantic demonic pillar, even the green-robed male in the large hall could not help having a drastic change on his face, while a shadow of shock and astonishment flashed within his eyes.
Exactly what was the origin of that demonic pillar?
It was actually terrifying to such a degree!
Across the horizon, Mu Chen did not care about the countless shocked and astonished gazes coming from him. Craziness was also accumulating within his scarlet-red eyes. Mo Longzi had given his all, so why wouldn't he do the same?
Once he lost, not only would it cause all of them to fall into a predicament, it would also cause Hokuang Reiwon to lose all of his face in the Northern Heavens Continent. Clearly, this wasn't a situation that he was willing to see.
As scarlet-red surged, Mu Chen gave a low roar. Hugging the empty air with his arms, the gigantic demonic pillar unexpectedly tilted down, before starting to swing about.
Bang!
Bang! Due to the swing of the demonic pillar, the Spiritual Aura in the region had unexpectedly formed into a gigantic Spiritual Aura vortex. All of the Spiritual Aura in the region within a hundred thousand metre radius started to crazily converge towards this location.
Although this demonic pillar wasn't the true body of the Great Meru Demonic Pillar, and was merely a projection, the might that it possessed had clearly far exceeded Mu Chen's expectations.
The Ominous Weapon of the Ancient Era truly lived up to its name. Although Mu Chen had yet to truly experience the might of a Divine Weapon, he dared to confirm that this Great Meru Demonic Pillar wasn't any weaker than a so-called Divine Weapon. However, this plaything was too ferocious.
Once he lost control of it, it would devour his body, before finally being corroded by the fiendish aura.
If not for the mysterious black paper suppressing Mu Chen's body, Mu Chen might have already suffered a fate worse than death from the Great Meru Demonic Pillar.
Boom!
As the Spiritual Qi vortex crazily revolved, the scarlet within Mu Chen's eyes grew even more intense. With an explosive roar, countless people watched in shock as his hands hugged the empty air, while the ten thousand feet demonic pillar shot towards the incoming heavy sword, which was surrounded by a giant blood red dragon.
It smashed down heavily.
The sky seemed to explode under the wave of the demonic pillar. As for the city below, all the buildings within a thousand feet were destroyed.
Even the ground had caved in. Some of the people who could not dodge in time were sent flying as they vomited mouthfuls of blood.
Dong!
The black demonic pillar smashed down with an unstoppable momentum.
In the end, it smashed onto the black heavy sword.
Dang!
The sound of metal resounded like thunder. The giant blood-red dragon wrapped around the broadsword released a mournful wail at this moment. Cracks extended, before it exploded with a bang.
The blood-red dragon exploded.
Boundless Spiritual Energy burst out from the heavy sword in an attempt to resist. However, when the demonic pillar came crashing down, the heavy sword's body trembled.
The heavy sword also began to tremble violently, and the light on its body instantly dimmed. With a bang, it rapidly fell down and shot into the ground below.
That was Mo Longzi's all-out attack.
Under the demonic pillar, it was nearly crushed!
Mo Longzi, who was watching from afar, instantly felt his entire body turn ice-cold.
In an instant, his entire body turned cold. His strongest attack was actually broken so easily. What exactly was that damned black pillar?!
He did not have the time to ponder over this question. That's because he quickly noticed that, after sending the heavy sword flying, the black demonic pillar did not show any signs of dissipating. Instead, it brought along a gigantic Spiritual Energy vortex as it enveloped towards him.
The surrounding space seemed to have frozen at this moment.
Fear and dread finally gushed out from Mo Longzi's eyes. In the next instant, with a hurried shake of his sleeve, a black scale the size of a palm flew out. Rapidly expanding in the face of the wind, it transformed into a scale shield, protecting him within it. This was the strongest defence he could muster at this moment.
Bang!
A gigantic shadow enveloped over. Upon coming into contact with the demonic pillar, cracks started to appear on the black scale shield due to the unstoppable baleful energy that blotted the skies. In the next instant, a muffled sound rang out, before exploding under Mo Longzi's horrified and inconsolable gaze.
Like a hot knife through butter, the demonic pillar descended, before finally landing on Mo Longzi's body.
Bang!
A deep and muffled sound that caused people's scalps to turn numb reverberated within the gigantic city. Everyone could see a black figure explosively shooting down from the sky, before violently shooting into the ground.
The earth trembled as layers of ripples visible to the naked eye radiated out. At this moment, the earth within a thousand metre radius started to split apart, before collapsing.
Smoke and dust pervaded the air.
When the black demonic pillar in the sky was still a thousand metres away from the city, it finally came to a slow stop. In the next instant, it started to slowly turn illusory, before completely dissipating away.
The baleful aura that blotted the sky had also dissipated, as warm sunlight once again shone down. However, it was still unable to dispel the chilliness present within everyone's bodies. They blankly stared at the slender figure in the sky, while their backs were filled with cold sweat. If that black demonic pillar had descended, god knows how many people within the city would have died.
In the sky, the scarlet colour within Mu Chen's eyes rapidly receded. In the next instant, he covered his mouth, before violently coughing. Blood started to seep out from his fingers, while his face appeared exceedingly pale.
The baleful aura was indeed extremely powerful. Although Mu Chen had borrowed it to turn the situation around, it had also caused him to suffer enormous injuries. If not for the fact that he had trained in the Lightning God's Body, causing him to become much stronger, he might have already fainted from his injuries.
Wiping away the bloodstains at the corner of his mouth, his gaze remained ice-cold as he stared at the dust-filled area below him. With a wave of his sleeve, a hurricane appeared, completely dispersing the dust and smoke.
As the dust and smoke dissipated, one could see an incomparably gigantic and deep pit appearing on the ground. At the centre of the deep pit, Mo Longzi was lying within, his entire body drenched in blood. All the bones in his body seemed to have been broken, causing him to be unable to move.
The current Mo Longzi no longer had the domineering and flamboyant appearance from before. His miserable appearance gave off the feeling of a stray dog.
In the distance, Teng Long and the rest had dumbfounded expressions on their faces as they watched this scene, while their bodies started to tremble. This result had clearly exceeded their expectations. Who would have imagined that the baleful aura that blotted the skies, Mo Longzi, would actually be defeated in the end.
Furthermore, he had been defeated at the hands of a new student from Hokuang Reiwon!
Mu Chen's gaze turned towards them.
The bodies of Teng Long and the rest turned cold. Although they knew that the former was currently in an extremely bad state, the fear and dread in their hearts caused them to not dare to have any confrontation with Mu Chen.
Ignoring them, Mu Chen waved his hand towards Su Xuan and the rest. The latter and the rest immediately shot out, rushing towards the Western Desolated Terrace. Splitting apart the metal chains, they rescued Lin Zheng and the other two, who were trapped within.
Facing their rescue, Teng Long and the rest no longer dared to obstruct them.
The only thing they wanted was for the death god before them to not cause trouble for them. As of now, they clearly did not have the guts to cross swords with Mu Chen.
Seeing that Lin Zheng and the other two had been rescued, Mu Chen breathed a sigh of relief.
In the next instant, his gaze brimming with killing intent turned towards Mo Longzi once again. Although the latter was already thoroughly injured, he had to get rid of the weeds by the roots.
Such an opponent could not be left alive!
A chilling glint sparkled within Mu Chen's eyes. Extending his finger, he gave a tap in the air. In an instant, Spiritual Energy burning with black flames swept out, shooting towards Mo Longzi's head at lightning speed.
He wanted to kill him here!
Whoosh.
Seeing Mu Chen's ruthless methods, everyone cried out in shock.
This Hokuang Reiwon freshman truly wasn't a good-for-nothing.
At this moment, he still had no intentions of showing mercy.
Seeing the Spiritual Energy light beam shooting towards him, Mo Longzi's face instantly contorted. If he was at his peak condition, such an attack would naturally not be able to do anything to him. However, at this moment, all the bones in his body had been shattered.
He was unable to evade it.
If he was struck by it, he would definitely not be able to escape death!
Mo Longzi struggled, yet was unable to move a single inch. At this moment, he could only watch as the Spiritual Energy light beam explosively shot towards him, while fear and dread towards death gushed out from the depths of his eyes.
In an instant, the Spiritual Energy beam shot across the horizon. However, just as it was about to smash towards Mo Longzi, the space around Mo Longzi's body suddenly started to warp and distort. Appearing to transform into a spatial barrier, it protected Mo Longzi within.
Whoosh!
Smashing against the spatial cover, the Spiritual Energy light beam was simply unable to shake it in the slightest, before being annihilated.
Seeing this, Mu Chen's face instantly contorted as he roared in a fierce voice, "Who?!"
The faces of Luo Li, Li Xuantong and the rest sunk as vigilance appeared within their eyes. A person that could warp and distort space at will was absolutely not someone that they could deal with.
"Haha. This time, Hokuang Reiwon has produced a pretty good seedling."
A faint laughter suddenly resounded across the region. Although it wasn't loud and clear, it caused the entire city to turn deathly silent.
The expression of the green-robed male in the large hall changed as he shot into the air. In the next instant, he solemnly looked towards the distorted space. At that location, space started to fluctuate, before a figure slowly condensed out in a liquid-like manner.
Dressed in black robes, the figure appeared to be approximately middle-aged, with some white hair. However, his eyes were akin to a pair of black holes, so deep that it was impossible to see their depths. At this moment, he had his hands behind his back, a faint smile present on his face as he looked towards Mu Chen, who was hovering in the sky.
"Black Dragon Sovereign?!"
Upon seeing the figure, the faces of Li Xuantong and the rest violently contorted as they cried out in shock.
A tremor shook through Mu Chen's heart. Black Dragon Sovereign?
Exactly what is the Demonic Dragon Palace trying to do?
Even a Sovereign Stage existence has appeared!
The entire Western Desolated City was in an uproar at this moment as everyone stared in shock at the black-robed figure. Although there weren't any Spiritual Energy fluctuations radiating from his body, the pressure faintly radiating from him caused everyone in the entire city to not even dare to breathe loudly. Sovereign!
That's a terrifying existence that could erase this entire city from the face of the earth with a flip of his hand!
Even within the entire Northern Heavens Continent, he could be considered as a super expert that stood at the apex!
"I feel a bit of the scent of an old friend coming from you."
Said the Black Dragon Sovereign with a smile. From the moment he had appeared, he hadn't taken a single glance at the heavily injured Mo Longzi. Instead, he had continued to stare at Mu Chen with a rather gentle expression on his face. However, that gentleness caused people to feel a chill run down their spines.
A dark expression appeared on Mu Chen's face. Faced against such a Sovereign Stage existence, he simply didn't have the slightest bit of resistance.
"Haha. Looks like the Great Meru Demonic Pillar has landed in your hands from the White Dragon Sovereign."
The Black Dragon Sovereign gave a sigh. Extending his hand, he spoke out in a gentle voice, "That's an item of our Demonic Dragon Palace. Return it to me, and I'll let your An Ran leave."
Mu Chen's expression instantly changed. He hadn't used the main body of the Great Meru Demonic Pillar. However, he never imagined that it would be discovered by the Black Dragon Sovereign.
"Dream on!"
Mu Chen clenched his teeth. Although his opponent was a Sovereign Stage expert, how could it be that easy for him to obediently hand over the Great Meru Demonic Pillar!
"Although I've taken action against a member of the younger generation, I believe that it's for the sake of retrieving the treasure of our Demonic Dragon Palace. There should still be people who understand."
Said the Black Dragon Sovereign with a gentle smile. In the next instant, with a clench of his hand, Mu Chen discovered that the space around him had instantly solidified, while his body was unable to move a single inch.
Mu Chen tightly clenched his fists. Was this the strength of a Sovereign?
With such a disparity, regardless of how many tricks and trump cards he possessed, it was impossible for him to truly contend against it!
With a tap of the Black Dragon Sovereign's finger, Mu Chen felt the Great Meru Demonic Pillar within his body start to faintly vibrate, unexpectedly showing signs of wanting to leave his body. Fortunately, the Mandala Flower also radiated with a mysterious purple light, sealing it in place.
"Oh?"
Astonishment flashed within the eyes of the Black Dragon Sovereign. Shooting a deep look at Mu Chen, he said, "So there's a treasure within your body. No wonder you're able to endure the fiendish energy of the Great Meru Demonic Pillar. However, I'll definitely take back the treasure of our Demonic Dragon Palace today."
As his voice rang out, black ripples seemed to undulate out from his palm. As if they had obtained a resonance with the Great Meru Demonic Pillar within Mu Chen's body, the latter's vibrations grew increasingly intense.
Mu Chen's face grew increasingly pale. He could feel that he was about to lose control of the Great Meru Demonic Pillar within his body.
"It's time to hand it over!"
With a faint smile, the Black Dragon Sovereign clenched his hand, causing the Great Meru Demonic Pillar within Mu Chen's body to violently tremble. However, just as the Great Meru Demonic Pillar was about to rush out of the seal, the space in front of Mu Chen started to intensely warp and distort. In the next instant, an imposing figure appeared in the air. As his broad palm landed on Mu Chen's shoulder, boundless energy rippled out, completely suppressing the vibrations within Mu Chen's body.
With a wave of his sleeve, the solidified space shattered apart. In the next instant, indifference surfaced within his eyes that were as deep as the starry skies, as he looked towards the Black Dragon Sovereign, whose gentleness was slowly receding from his face.
"Black Dragon Sovereign, you've broken the rules."
His indifferent voice resounded across the sky as a frightening pressure radiated out. At this moment, the Spiritual Energy between the heavens and earth seemed to have stopped flowing.
The hearts of countless people trembled as they thought, What kind of frightening strength is this?
Staring at the imposing figure hovering in the sky, the Black Dragon Sovereign's gaze gradually turned ice-cold.
"Haha. I never imagined that Dean Tai Cang would actually show himself. What a surprise."
