A deathly silence filled the entire region, with even the wind appearing to freeze at this instant.
[This article originated from]
Everyone on the Nine Heavenly Steps had their eyes wide open as they blankly stared at the spectacle before them. An indescribable feeling flooded their hearts, causing them to be momentarily at a loss as to what kind of expression they should display.
This spectacle was truly too inconceivable.
Xia Youran's rosy lips slightly opened as she blankly stared at Mo Xingtian, who had a black hole on his forehead. In the next instant, she couldn't help covering her mouth with her little hand.
Beside her, Xi Qinghai, Su Buxiu and the rest had similar expressions on their faces, with the shock and astonishment present within their eyes.
As for Liu Ying, his eyes had also turned sluggish as he felt a chill penetrating his heart. Looking towards the bare-chested youth standing in the sky, a thick shadow of dread gushed out from the depths of his eyes. This youth, who appeared to be only at the Heavenly Completion Stage Initial Phase, had truly caused him to feel fear and dread.
That's Mo Xingtian.
He was one of the top figures within the younger generation of the Northern Heavens Continent. However, at this moment, he had actually been defeated by the hands of this youth. If this scene were to spread out, exactly how big of a shock would it cause within the Northern Heavens Continent?
Across the horizon, the purple shadow within Mu Chen's eyes rapidly retreated, while an exceedingly weak feeling started to radiate from his body. However, he tightly clenched his teeth, not allowing himself to collapse. Nevertheless, his eyes were still incomparably cold as they stared towards the frozen figure in the distance.
At the location of his finger, the jet-black colour rapidly retreated.
The attack that had been concealed within the purple flaming rainbow was the Black Lightning Poison Finger.
This unexpected attack had finally ended this incomparably dangerous fight.
Mu Chen continued to stare indifferently at Mo Xingtian's body.
Mo Xingtian's eyes were still wide open, with some traces of shock and astonishment still present on his face. Black blood started to flow out from the bloody hole on his forehead, before a jet-black colour started to rapidly spread out from the spot between his eyebrows.
It spread throughout his entire body.
The Black Lightning Poison had already invaded Mo Xingtian's body. No matter how strong Mo Xingtian was, he would not be able to withstand this kind of injury.
It was enough to kill him.
All of a sudden, cracks started to surface on Mo Xingtian's body. In the next instant, with a bang, his body exploded in the sky.
As the blood mist rose into the air, the blood mist rose.
A ray of spiritual light quietly burst out.
A dragon shadow appeared beneath Mu Chen's feet as his figure flashed and appeared in the distant sky. Shortly after, he made a grabbing motion. Spiritual Energy formed into a light screen as he grabbed onto the Spiritual Light that was trying to escape.
Within the spiritual light was a seemingly corporeal infant.
This was Mo Xingtian's spirit. At this moment.
The face of the Spirit was finally filled with shock.
"Is there anyone here that can save you?" Mu Chen looked at the Spirit in his hand without the slightest emotion in his eyes as he spoke with indifference.
"Mu Chen, you've already won. What else do you want to do?!"
A sharp voice rang out from Mo Xingtian's Divine Soul, with unconcealable dread present within it. At this moment, he was clearly no longer able to maintain the calm he had in the past. With his Divine Soul in Mu Chen's hands, the latter was already able to truly kill him.
"Over the years, who knows how many students from Hokuang Reiwon have died at your hands. What do you think I want to do?" Mu Chen smiled. However, there wasn't the slightest bit of warmth in his smile.
"If you kill me, our Demonic Dragon Palace will not let you off!" Mo Xingtian said in a stern voice.
"Is that so?"
With a smile, Spiritual Energy rose from Mu Chen's hand, before shattering Mo Xingtian's Divine Soul. Towards the latter, Mu Chen felt extreme dread and dread. If not for the fact that he had prepared the trump card of the Undying Flames, he might truly have been defeated by Mo Xingtian's hands. At that time, Mu Chen absolutely didn't believe that with Mo Xingtian's character, he would truly let him off.
Now that he had managed to capture this fellow after much difficulty, Mu Chen wasn't willing to let this tiger return to the mountains, lest it lead to a great disaster in the future.
"Brat, you dare!"
However, just as Mu Chen was about to ruthlessly shatter Mo Xingtian's Divine Soul, a furious roar akin to a clap of thunder suddenly resounded across the heavens and earth. In the next instant, the surrounding space started to warp and distort, as a giant Spiritual Energy hand stretched out from within, grabbing towards Mu Chen.
Seeing this, Mu Chen's face instantly contorted.
"Black Dragon Sovereign, do you really think that I, Hokuang Reiwon, am a pushover?!"
As the giant Spiritual Energy hand pierced through space, just as it was about to grab towards Mu Chen, the space on the other side started to warp and distort. In the next instant, Dean Tai Cang's furious roar resounded as a similarly giant Spiritual Energy hand extended out. As the two forces collided, a Spiritual Energy storm howled out across the horizon, while the two palm prints were destroyed.
"Old dogs of the Demonic Dragon Palace, do you really think that I'm afraid of you?!
I'm definitely going to kill this person today! "
Fluttering back in retreat, Mu Chen's expression turned dark. In the next instant, with a furious clench of his hand, Spiritual Energy erupted from him, heavily smashing against Mo Xingtian's Divine Soul without the slightest bit of mercy.
ARGHHHH!
A mournful shriek rang out as Mo Xingtian's Spirit exploded apart, transforming into glowing dots that blotted the skies within Mu Chen's hand. At the same time, the mournful and terrified shriek continued to reverberate across the sky.
At this moment, everyone in this region felt a chilling intent shooting straight from their feet to the top of their heads. Looking towards the youth in the sky, their eyes brimmed with shock and horror.
Not a single one of them had imagined that Mu Chen would actually be that decisive. Without the slightest bit of hesitation, he had shattered Mo Xingtian's Spirit with a palm, thoroughly killing him.
Looking at the glowing dots fluttering out from Mu Chen's palm, a look of absent-mindedness appeared within their eyes. That Mo Xingtian was completely killed just like that?
The figure that stood at the apex of the younger generation in the Northern Heavens Continent had disappeared just like that?
At this moment, the faces of Liu Ying, Dong Yuan and the rest turned deathly pale, while thick fear and dread erupted within their eyes. This Mu Chen's truly too ruthless! That's Mo Xingtian! He's actually killed just like that!
Is this really the kind of student that Hokuang Reiwon was able to nurture from his ivory tower?
Such decisiveness and ruthlessness was even more extreme than those people who licked blood from the edge of their blades all year round.
Standing by the side, Xi Qinghai and Su Buxiu sucked in a breath of cold air, unable to say a single word. Clearly, they had been completely shocked by the scene before them.
At this moment, Xia Youran was also staring blankly at the youth that was radiating a sliver of coldness and ruthlessness. At this moment, he was completely different from the handsome and gentle appearance he had in front of her. However, his current temperament caused a faint blush to appear on Xia Youran's lovable face, while an extraordinary splendour sparkled within her beautiful eyes.
At this moment, Mu Chen had killed Mo Xingtian in such a domineering manner. That aura was undoubtedly somewhat dazzling and dazzling to the eyes.
At this moment, not a single sound could be heard from the entire stretch of the world.
After shattering Mo Xingtian's Divine Soul, Mu Chen gave a wave of his palm, causing the Great Meru Demonic Pillar to shoot over and burrow into his body. At the same time, it brought back a dimmed black demonic spear. This was precisely the Peerless Rank Spiritual Artifact that belonged to Mo Xingtian, the Devouring Dragon Demonic Spear.
Grabbing onto the black demonic spear, Mu Chen didn't show any signs of movement after the death of Mo Xingtian. Coupled with the suppression from the Great Meru Demonic Pillar earlier, it unexpectedly didn't dare to show even the slightest bit of resistance in his hands.
With a flip of his hand, he kept the Devouring Dragon Demonic Spear. A Peerless Rank Spiritual Artifact was definitely not an ordinary item, something that couldn't even be bought in the Spiritual Values Hall of their Hokuang Reiwon. Now that it was in his hands, Mu Chen naturally wouldn't hand it over. After all, although the Great Meru Demonic Pillar was formidable, Mu Chen didn't dare to truly activate it. As of now, he was still unable to fully control it. However, the Devouring Dragon Demonic Spear was different. With it in his possession, Mu Chen's combat prowess would clearly rise by quite a bit.
After keeping the spoils of war, Mu Chen's indifferent gaze shot towards Liu Ying, Dong Yuan and Zhou Xuan.
Noticing the gaze coming from Mu Chen, the hearts of Liu Ying and the other two instantly turned cold, causing them to unexpectedly take a step back. Although they were clear that the current Mu Chen was an arrow at the end of its flight, they were unexpectedly unable to muster the slightest bit of thought to take action against him. Even Liu Ying's eyes were filled with dread and dread, not daring to take action to take advantage of the situation.
"Please wait for the next Divine Spiritual Baptism." said Mu Chen in an indifferent tone.
The faces of Liu Ying and the other two slightly contorted as they shot a look at Xia Youran and the other two, who were glaring at them like tigers watching their prey. In the end, they could only clench their teeth in unwillingness, not daring to voice out any objections. At this moment, the might that Mu Chen had displayed after killing Mo Xingtian was truly too intimidating.
Turning his gaze towards Xi Qinghai and Su Buxiu once again, Mu Chen and the other two started to feel slightly apprehensive upon seeing this. After all, they didn't do much this time. If Mu Chen wasn't willing to share the Strength of Baptism with them, after weighing the pros and cons, they felt that they wouldn't dare to take action, and could only blame themselves for being unlucky.
"Senior sister Xia, brother Xi, brother Su, the Strength of Baptism is about to descend. Make your preparations."
While they were feeling apprehensive, a faint smile appeared on Mu Chen's face, causing the cold and fierce look within his eyes to dissipate, while the face of the youth appeared handsome and gentle once again.
On the other hand, a faint smile appeared on Xia Youran's face. After all, she understood Mu Chen's character, and knew that the latter wouldn't do something like burning the bridge after crossing it. Therefore, she wasn't surprised by his reaction. On the other hand, Xi Qinghai and Su Buxiu breathed a sigh of relief, before shooting grateful gazes towards Mu Chen.
Shooting down, Mu Chen took the lead, landing at the highest point of the first step of the Nine Heavenly Steps. Xia Youran and the other two had also shot over, with their positions slightly lower than Mu Chen's. At this place, the higher the position was, the greater the amount of Strength of Baptism that they would be able to receive. As for the best position, it clearly belonged to Mu Chen, something that none of them had any objections about.
Sitting down, Mu Chen raised his head and looked towards the gigantic clump of light high up in the sky. The rays of light there grew increasingly dense, before a clear and melodious bell chime started to slowly ring out.
Boom!
As the rays of light reached their peak, countless people raised their heads with scorching gazes, only to see golden raindrops hiding the skies and covering the earth as they rained down. At this moment, the entire stretch of the world had turned light and lively, as if it had been cleansed.
The Divine Spirit Baptism had finally descended!
