Roar!
A dragon's roar shook the heavens as the gigantic green dragon hovered in the starry skies, while an astonishing pressure radiated out. This scene appeared akin to the descent of a genuine divine dragon, causing the faces of countless people to change.
On the second highest floor, the expressions of Xia Youran, Dong Yuan and the rest had also contracted, while thick shades of shock flashed within their eyes. This attack from Mu Chen had actually caused them to feel threatened.
At this moment, Mo Xingtian had also raised his head. Looking at the giant green dragon hovering in the starry skies, a faint frown appeared on his forehead. For the first time, some ripples flashed within his deathly still eyes as he muttered to himself, "What a formidable Deity Tier Spiritual Art. It's actually able to imitate a sliver of the genuine Divine Azure Dragon's fluctuations!"
On the square, Liu Ying's face had also turned dark as he looked at the spectacle unfolding before him. This brat by the name of Mu Chen was truly hard to deal with. Although he was clearly only at the Heavenly Completion Stage Initial Phase, his methods were endless. At this moment, even Liu Ying felt slightly threatened.
This feeling caused the killing intent within Liu Ying's heart to grow even more intense. This Mu Chen's still slightly younger than them. If he were to truly allow him to train for another one or two years, he might truly be tossed far behind him, just as Xia Youran had said. This situation was something that the narrow-minded Liu Ying was unable to accept.
Therefore, it's best to kill this genius youth right here and now!
"Liu Ying, try and receive one of my moves!"
Up in the sky, Mu Chen gave a cold roar. In the starry skies behind him, four gigantic beastial figures radiated with astonishing fluctuations. In the next instant, he took a step forward. Forming a seal with his hands, he furiously roared, "Four Divine Seals!"
Roar!
Within the starry skies, the four beastial figures raised their heads and gave a long roar. In the next instant, they broke through the starry skies, transforming into four gigantic rays of light of different colours. Piercing through the sky, they brought along an aura that blotted the skies as they enveloped Liu Ying. The incomparably tyrannical Spiritual Energy fluctuations radiating from them caused the faces of Qing Hu and the other experts on the third highest floor to violently change.
This move was something that they absolutely couldn't receive!
He never imagined that Mu Chen would actually have such a trump card hidden up his sleeves. No wonder he dared to ascend to the second highest step and challenge the figures at the peak of the younger generation of the Northern Heavens Continent.
As the four rays of light descended from the sky, their momentum caused Liu Ying's expression to turn increasingly gloomy. With a sinister smile, he said, "You're still too inexperienced to topple me!"
As his voice rang out, he fiercely stomped his feet. Torrential Spiritual Energy swept out as an explosive roar abruptly resounded, "Dark Shadow Divine Art - Heavenly Binding Shadow!"
Xiu!
Spiritual Energy that blotted the skies condensed in the air above Liu Ying, transforming into a greyish glowing figure that was approximately a thousand metres in size. As the glowing figure spread out, it appeared as though the entire sky was being covered by it, while all of the light rays were being absorbed by the strange greyish figure.
Whoosh!
The grey glowing figure was like a devil spreading its arms. With a swoosh, it soared into the sky. As it rotated, it heavily collided with the four astonishing streaks of light that were charging over.
Bang!
Bang!
Bang!
Ear-shattering Spiritual Energy explosions continuously resounded across the sky. Every time a berserk Spiritual Energy rushed over, the greyish glowing figure would revolve. Akin to a shadow, it would completely block and absorb all of the incoming attacks. Akin to a barrier, no attacks would be able to break through it.
"Hmph! My Dark Shadow Divine Art is able to absorb attacks. You want to break through it?
You're dreaming! "sneered Liu Ying.
A chilling glint flashed within Mu Chen's eyes as his fist seal changed once again. In the next instant, a low roar rang out from within his heart, "Explode!"
Bang!
Just as the roar rang out from within his heart, the four streaks of light erupted with dazzling brilliance. Akin to scorching suns, they exploded with a bang. Instantly, berserk Spiritual Energy gushed out in torrents. Hiding the skies and covering the earth, they smashed against the gigantic greyish glowing figure like a flood.
The glowing figure crazily revolved as it radiated with brilliance in an attempt to absorb the powerful impacts. However, it was clear that the berserk Spiritual Energy had already exceeded the upper limit of what it could absorb. In the next instant, the colour of the greyish glowing figure turned bright, no longer appearing as strange as a shadow.
At this moment, Liu Ying's expression had turned extremely ugly.
Bang!
As the greyish glowing figure turned bright to its limits, a bang rang out as it unexpectedly exploded apart, transforming into greyish glowing dots that blotted the skies, scattering across the horizon.
Countless glowing dots descended, covering the horizon as Liu Ying's expression turned exceedingly dark. This damnable brat! He's actually able to destroy even my Heaven Binding Shadow! One must know that even people of the same realm as him would find it slightly troublesome to deal with such an attack. However, from the looks of it, it had been completely destroyed by Mu Chen.
"However, I'll see exactly how many times you can fight against me!"
Liu Ying's gaze turned dark and cold. Regardless of how many tricks Mu Chen had up his sleeves, he was still only at the Heavenly Completion Stage Initial Phase. On the other hand, Liu Ying had managed to pass through his tribulation. Therefore, even if Liu Ying used the density of his Spiritual Energy, he would still be able to crush Mu Chen to death!
Whoosh!
Just as Liu Ying's gaze turned dark and cold, the glowing dots that blotted the skies before him were abruptly torn apart as a spectre-like figure shot out. Two fingers curled together, bringing along a chilling gale as they pierced towards Liu Ying's throat.
"You're courting death!"
Seeing that Mu Chen actually dared to rush towards him, Liu Ying instantly let out a furious roar, before sending a fist rumbling towards Mu Chen's two fingers.
However, just as Liu Ying's fist was about to smash against Mu Chen's two fingers, a shiver suddenly ran through his entire body, while his pupils rapidly contracted. That's because he saw that one of Mu Chen's fingers had unexpectedly turned jet-black, while dangerous fluctuations radiated from it.
"Something's wrong!"
After all, Liu Ying was a person with deep schemes. Immediately, a feeling of unease flashed across his heart. With an explosive roar, he stomped his foot on the ground, forcefully halting his attack. At the same time, his figure turned into a shadow as he explosively shot backwards.
"Brat, you're too naive to play tricks with me!"
Liu Ying sneered. Mu Chen's black fingers seemed to contain some sort of lethal poison. However, he was after all not Wu Dong, and would not fall for Mu Chen's tricks so easily. Furthermore, from the looks of it, it seemed that this move of Mu Chen's could only be used in close combat.
Mu Chen's black pupils looked towards the retreating Liu Ying. Appearing to have seen through the latter's thoughts, the corners of his mouth faintly curled upwards, while a ridiculing arc surfaced.
"Black Lightning Poison Finger!"
Curling his finger, he pointed out in the air. Instantly, a viscous black mist erupted from his finger, before black rays of brilliance seemingly erupted from it. In the next instant, with a tremble from Mu Chen's finger, a black ray of light that was only as thick as a thumb shot out explosively from it.
Chi Chi!
As the black ray of light shot through the air, white mist unexpectedly erupted from the surrounding air, leaving behind shallow black scars that appeared to be signs of corrosion.
Travelling at an extremely fast speed, the black ray of light appeared right before Liu Ying in a flash. Only at this moment did the latter's expression drastically change. With a fierce roar, he sent a fist rumbling out, Spiritual Energy that blotted the skies swept out in an attempt to obstruct the unremarkable black ray of light.
[]
Chi Chi!
However, just like that, the black ray of light tyrannically rushed into the rampaging Spiritual Energy. Everywhere it passed, even the Spiritual Energy was corroded away. In a short instant, it had already broken through Liu Ying's defence, before fiercely shooting towards his fist.
Liu Ying's figure furiously came to a halt as he stared in shock at his palm. At that location, the black poisonous thread was rapidly extending towards his arm.
"Such an overbearing poison!"
Liu Ying's pupils contracted. With a clench of his hand, a jade bottle appeared within it. Pouring a few elixirs into his mouth, a low roar rang out as Spiritual Energy violently gushed out from his body, causing dazzling rays of brilliance to erupt from his entire arm.
Under his all-out suppression, the spreading of the black poisonous thread was instantly stopped. In the end, it started to retreat bit by bit. After a dozen breaths later, the poisonous aura had been forced onto his palm. As Spiritual Energy gushed out, it formed a barrier, cutting off the route of the poisonous aura's corrosion towards his body. However, with this, he was clearly unable to use his palm, which was equivalent to being temporarily crippled.
Seeing this, a faint wrinkle appeared on Mu Chen's forehead. Indeed, this Liu Ying was formidable, to actually be able to suppress the Black Lightning Poison. Once he exits this place, there would definitely be Sovereign Stage experts from their Umbra Chamber of Commerce that would help him expel the Black Lightning Poison.
It wasn't easy for him to find an opportunity to take action, yet he was unable to cripple this fellow. What a pity.
From the looks of it, the Black Lightning Poison wasn't truly invincible. Once one's strength reached a certain level, one would still be able to suppress it.
"Mu Chen!"
Suppressing the corrosion of the poisonous aura, Liu Ying's face contorted as he looked towards Mu Chen, his eyes brimming with fury. Today, he had personally taken action. However, he never imagined that not only would he not be able to kick Mu Chen out of the second highest level, he would even be poisoned by the brat, causing him to be temporarily unable to use his palm. To him, this was quite a considerable loss in combat strength.
However, in the current situation, he still had to contend for the Strength of Baptism. Having his palm temporarily crippled by Mu Chen would undoubtedly cause him to suffer heavy injuries. This caused the flames of fury in his heart to erupt, causing him to wish that he could dismember Mu Chen into a thousand pieces.
Seeing the furious expression on Liu Ying's face, Mu Chen gave a faint smile and said, "I wonder if I have the qualifications to stand here now?"
"I'll kill you!"
Roared Liu Ying, unable to restrain himself from taking action without holding anything back to kill Mu Chen.
With a sneer on his face, Mu Chen's finger turned jet-black once again.
Halting his steps, Liu Ying clenched his teeth as he stared at Mu Chen's jet-black finger, while thick dread flashed within his eyes. This poison was too tyrannical, to the point that even he was unable to force it out of his body. The only thing he could do was to suppress it. If he were to fall for it again, it would be like adding hail to snow.
However, at this moment, he clearly couldn't disregard everything and take action against Mu Chen. After all, he still had to contend for the Strength of Baptism.
Liu Ying's expression fluctuated indeterminately, before finally clenching his teeth. Shooting an incomparably venomous glare at Mu Chen, he slowly retreated.
"Many thanks."
Upon seeing this, a faint smile appeared on Mu Chen's face. However, his smile almost caused Liu Ying to go berserk.
At this moment, upon seeing this spectacle, countless experts below sucked in a breath of cold air in their hearts. Looking towards the handsome youth, their eyes were filled with disbelief. This fellow was actually able to force Liu Ying to retreat?!
Relying on his strength at the Heavenly Completion Stage Initial Phase, he was able to force a Human Body Disaster expert to retreat!
This kid was too terrifying!
Ignoring those gazes, Mu Chen walked back to Xia Youran's side, amidst the gazes that were gradually turning from doubt to astonishment and complexity. Sending a smile towards her, whose red lips were slightly parted, Mu Chen smiled.
Astonishment filled Xia Youran's beautiful eyes as she stared at the youth before her. Just as she was about to speak, her expression suddenly changed. Raising her head, she saw a dazzling brilliance suddenly erupt from the gigantic ball of light in the sky. As the brilliance enveloped down, it appeared as though some sort of mysterious power was about to descend.
Seeing this, Xia Youran was instantly overjoyed.
"The Power of Baptism is coming!"
