Hokuang Reiwon
The entire academy was in a state of silence at this moment. Not only were the students' mouths wide open, even some of the academy's upper echelons, who were observing this place, had dumbfounded expressions on their faces.
Clearly, their eyes had rested on the gigantic glowing Spiritual Energy screen. There, the scene had frozen at the moment when Mu Chen had shattered Mo Xingtian's Divine Soul with a single palm.
A bare-chested youth with a tall and slender figure stood in the air. At this moment, his handsome face appeared exceedingly cold, appearing just like the edge of a blade. Within his palm, the shattered Divine Soul had transformed into glowing dots that blotted the skies. Although it appeared beautiful, it caused people to feel a chill down their spines.
Mu Chen had actually killed Mo Xingtian!
Exchanging glances with Li Xuantong, Shen Cangsheng and Li Xuantong were able to see the shock and astonishment present within each other's eyes. That was Mo Xingtian, the super ruthless person that was ranked first on the Heavenly Spiritual Academy's Bounty Board. He was one of the strongest fellows within the younger generation of the entire Northern Heavens Continent. For the sake of that fellow, god knows how many experts had been dispatched by the Punishment Hall. Yet, in the end, they were still unable to capture and kill him.
However, as of now, this super ruthless person, who had once caused a headache for many of the higher-ups of Hokuang Reiwon, had actually fallen into Mu Chen's hands.
"That fellow's too ferocious."
In the end, Shen Cangsheng couldn't help giving a bitter laugh. Nevertheless, there was some happiness present within his eyes. To Hokuang Reiwon, Mo Xingtian was basically a malignant tumor. Under the situation where the Elders couldn't easily take action, it was an exceedingly difficult task for Hokuang Reiwon to capture him.
Now that he had landed in Mu Chen's hands, it had caused their Hokuang Reiwon to have one less big problem to deal with.
Gently nodding his head, Li Xuantong muttered, "This brat.
Every time he takes action, he's even stronger than before. Looks like we'll have to enter the "Door of the Northern Heavens" after this matter is over. If not, who knows where we'll be tossed to in the Great Spiritual Academy Tournament half a year from now. "
Shen Cangsheng nodded heavily. He didn't want to be beaten down like this.
As the two of them spoke, the silence of Hokuang Reiwon was suddenly broken.
The deafening cheers resounded like thunder, shaking the entire Hokuang Reiwon.
All the students were filled with excitement.
This was especially true for the Seniors who were able to head to the Northern Heavens Continent to train. Every single one of them breathed a sigh of relief, as if a heavy burden had been lifted from their shoulders.
He always had to worry about running into Mo Xingtian and Mo Longzi, these two ruthless people.
Because if they encountered him, they probably wouldn't even be able to escape.
But now, regardless of whether it was Mo Longzi or Mo Xingtian, one had been heavily injured by Mu Chen, and the other had been directly killed by Mu Chen. This was the greatest threat to them, and now that they had been completely exterminated, they could go out and temper themselves in the future.
This way, they would be able to have less fear and trepidation.
"Brother Mu is mighty!"
A few members of the Goddess Luo Association cheered as their faces were filled with pride.
They were originally considered as Freshmen. But now, because of Mu Chen, the members of the Goddess Luo Association could walk in Hokuang Reiwon with their heads held high. Even some of the Seniors didn't dare to put on airs in front of them. This was all due to the reputation that Mu Chen had accumulated through his battles!
Su Ling 'er's beautiful eyes were filled with tears as she stared at the frozen image on the Spiritual Energy screen. The youth was topless, with killing intent condensing within his eyes. Compared to the warmth that Mu Chen had in the academy, the chilliness was like a completely different person. However, it was precisely this completely different temperament that gave off an extremely strong impact. Thinking about it, god-knows how many girls had their faces turn red as they secretly sized up the youth in the image.
"What a smitten lass. You're going to be stunned just by looking at him."
Looking at her younger sister's teary eyes, Su Xuan couldn't help teasing her as she extended her jade-like hand to pinch the tender and lovable face of the young girl.
Su Ling 'er's lovable face instantly turned red as she asked, "Elder sister, will he be alright?"
"Relax. With the Dean there, nothing will happen to him," replied Su Xuan with a faint smile.
Only after hearing that did Su Ling 'er feel relieved, before sneaking another glance at the youth in the image. Not knowing what to do, her rosy little lips started to gently pout, while her mood turned downcast. With such an outstanding person like Luo Li by his side, why wouldn't I have a chance?
While Hokuang Reiwon was basking in a jubilant atmosphere, killing intent was soaring into the skies outside of the Divine Spiritual Mountain.
At the instant when Mo Xingtian was killed by Mu Chen, the atmosphere outside of the Divine Spiritual Mountain had similarly solidified. The faces of the Elders present in the surroundings slightly contorted, while shock and astonishment filled their hearts due to Mu Chen's ruthlessness and decisiveness.
"Little bastard, you actually dare to kill a member of my Demonic Dragon Palace! I'll definitely dismember your corpse into a thousand pieces!"
The frozen atmosphere didn't last for long, before a furious roar abruptly resounded across the heavens and earth. In the next instant, a seemingly corporeal killing intent that blotted the skies rushed towards the heavens, causing the entire region to turn dark and gloomy as gales and clouds surged.
The hearts of the various bigshots jumped as they looked over, only to see the Black Dragon Sovereign's face turning ashen. Killing intent radiated from his body, making him appear akin to a demonic god.
"Over the years, haven't our Hokuang Reiwon lost many students at the hands of your Demonic Dragon Palace?
Black Dragon, if you dare to touch Mu Chen, I, Hokuang Reiwon, will dare to cripple your Demonic Dragon Palace once again! "
Just as the Black Dragon Sovereign's roar rang out, a low and deep voice rang out. Similarly, unconcealable killing intent and fury were present within that voice.
The eyelids of the various bigshots twitched as they turned their heads around, only to see Dean Tai Cang's face turning dark and gloomy. The Spiritual Aura present in the region had turned berserk along with the fluctuations of his emotions.
"Haha. Tai Cang, you're truly arrogant. If not for the betrayal of the White Dragon Sovereign and the theft of our palace's most valuable treasure, causing us to be unable to complete the Summoning Ceremony, would your Hokuang Reiwon be able to defeat our Demonic Dragon Palace?" The Black Dragon Sovereign roared out with a furious smile.
"If you're not satisfied, I, Hokuang Reiwon, will accompany you again!"
Dean Tai Cang's voice was akin to a clap of thunder, causing the faces of countless experts to violently change. Were the two greatest influences at the peak of the Northern Heavens Continent finally going to start a war again?
This was something that would cause the entire Northern Heavens Continent to shake.
Golden-coloured raindrops hid the skies and covered the earth as they descended from the gigantic clump of light high up in the sky. At this moment, the entire stretch of the world had turned empty and tranquil, with the aftershocks from the earlier great battle completely calming down. At this moment, an indescribable feeling of carefreeness and happiness rippled within the hearts of everyone present.
At this moment, regardless of whether it was the Nine Heavenly Steps or the countless experts on the vast land below, all of them rapidly sat down. Although they weren't able to enjoy the perfect Strength of Baptism like Mu Chen and the rest, they were still able to obtain some of the Strength of Baptism that had leaked out. If they were able to absorb it, it would be extremely beneficial to their own cultivation.
As Mu Chen sat at the highest position of the Nine Heavenly Steps, he raised his head and looked towards the descending golden raindrops. With a thought, a powerful suction force erupted from within his body, instantly sucking in the large expanse of golden raindrops.
Puff!
Upon coming into contact with Mu Chen's body, the golden raindrops quietly fused with him. At the instant they fused with him, a fierce shiver seemed to shake through Mu Chen's body, while abnormally cool fluctuations rippled out from within his body. These fluctuations were extremely mysterious, appearing akin to divine water brushing past. At this moment, the injuries that had appeared within Mu Chen's body due to his fight with Mo Xingtian unexpectedly started to recover at an astonishing speed.
His originally withered Spiritual Energy had unexpectedly started to rapidly surge and fill up.
"What a mysterious power."
Mu Chen exclaimed in admiration within his heart. As the golden raindrops fused into his body, he could feel that his flesh, blood, bones and meridians were akin to hungry ghosts, greedily and crazily devouring the golden raindrops. This wasn't the result of Mu Chen's own actions, but an instinctive reaction from his body. That's because his body was able to sense that these mysterious golden raindrops would provide an extremely great help to him.
As Mu Chen was intoxicated by this wonderful feeling, all of the pores on his body seemed to have opened up, causing him to be unable to extricate himself from it.
However, in the end, Mu Chen still managed to regain his senses. Circulating his Spiritual Energy, a suction force erupted from his body, causing the golden raindrops descending from the sky to be endlessly sucked towards him. Being at the highest point, there was basically no one that could compete with him for the Strength of Baptism. However, the Strength of Baptism present here was the most vigorous, and it was impossible for him to absorb all of it by himself. Therefore, there was still around seventy to eighty percent of the Strength of Baptism flowing downwards.
With regards to this, Mu Chen did not feel the slightest bit of regret. Out of the one hundred percent of the Strength of Baptism, he alone occupied twenty to thirty percent. Perhaps the other experts on the Nine Heavenly Steps would be able to take thirty to forty percent, while the remaining twenty to thirty percent would be absorbed by the experts at the lowest point. However, there were too many people there. Even after sharing the burden, the amount of Strength of Baptism that each person would be able to absorb could be counted on one's fingers. Therefore, the fact that Mu Chen was able to monopolize twenty to thirty percent of the Strength of Baptism was already something that would cause people's eyes to turn red with envy.
As the endless Strength of Baptism descended from the sky, a faint layer of golden light covered the surface of Mu Chen's body. Looking from afar, he appeared akin to a golden body.
As Mu Chen's mind gradually condensed, he finally immersed himself into a state of cultivation.
Slivers of the Strength of Baptism passed through Mu Chen's flesh, blood, bones, meridians, before finally condensing within Mu Chen's aurasea, bit by bit.
At that moment, his Divine Soul quietly sat there, with golden raindrops condensing within its small hands. Faintly, they seemed to show signs of crystallization, appearing exceedingly profound and mysterious.
While Mu Chen was immersed within the Life Baptism, giant waves that blotted the skies had already started to rise outside of the Divine Spiritual Mountain. A war that would shake the entire Northern Heavens Continent was about to erupt.
(Urgent matter. Next update might be after 12 o 'clock.)
