Bang!
Exceedingly boundless Spiritual Energy howled within the giant hall like a tidal wave. In the next instant, two figures shot across the horizon like meteorites. In the next instant, under the attentive and nervous gazes present within the giant hall, they heavily smashed against each other.
There weren't any fanciful moves in this collision, it was a pure collision of strength.
The only difference was that one side had relied on his tyrannical strength, while the other had brought along boundless Spiritual Energy.
These two types of energies were more than sufficient to cause the earth to tremble and mountains to collapse.
Boom!
At the instant of the collision, gales wreaked havoc, causing cracks to appear on the ground of the giant hall. Under the impact of the fluctuations, the wriggling vines were shattered, layer by layer.
Whoosh!
Under the impact, two glowing figures shot out. Under the feet of the two people, the floor of the giant hall, which was made of special materials, continuously turned into dust, while deep footprints were left behind.
A shiver shook through Mu Chen's body as lightning sparkled, completely resisting the boundless Spiritual Energy that had invaded his body. At this moment, a solemn expression surfaced on his handsome face. Although Xia Hou wasn't as tyrannical as him, who had cultivated his Lightning God's Physique to the Quadra Rune Lightning Physique, the boundlessness of Xia Hou's Spiritual Energy was much stronger than his own.
Spiritual Energy Disaster was a transformation of one's Spiritual Energy. If the amount of Spiritual Energy contained within one's Spirit was akin to a lake before passing through the Spiritual Energy Disaster, then after passing through the Spiritual Energy Disaster, it would truly be akin to an ocean. The disparity between the two was considerably large. If not for the fact that Mu Chen had cultivated the complete version of the Great Pagoda Art, causing the Spiritual Energy within his body to undergo a transformation, the current him might have been completely suppressed by the boundless ocean-like Spiritual Energy of his opponent.
"Hah, what a tough fleshly body. Looks like you've cultivated a rather formidable Body Refinement Deity Tier Spiritual Art. Furthermore, your attainments in it aren't low. That's why you have the confidence to challenge Spiritual Energy Disaster with the strength of a Heavenly Completion Stage Late Phase."
Xia Hou's slender palm flickered with a faint jade light. He stared at Mu Chen and sneered.
However, despite the sneer on his face, Xia Hou was also feeling somewhat astonished in his heart. Mu Chen's fleshly body was truly too strong! In fact, it was even stronger than him, who had passed his Human Body Disaster. Xia Hou truly had no idea how this fellow managed to cultivate to such a level.
Mu Chen's eyes indifferently swept over him, but he did not continue arguing with him. With a stomp of his foot, the ground cracked, and a dragon shadow seemed to form under his feet. With a flash of light, his figure strangely disappeared from the spot.
"So fast!"
Xia Hou's pupils slightly shrank. Immediately, his five fingers suddenly clenched into a fist. Without the slightest hesitation, he ruthlessly threw a punch towards the empty space on his right.
Bang!
Boundless Spiritual Energy swept out as Xia Hou's fist sparkled with a jade-like lustre. This fist of his was exceedingly powerful.
Whoosh!
However, this fist of Xia Hou's, which he was determined to win, did not have any effect. Shooting across the empty space, his fist smashed into thin air. Mu Chen's figure did not appear as he had expected.
With his fist missing, Xia Hou's expression slightly changed. In the next instant, he could feel the frightening energy fluctuations violently sweeping out from behind him.
Mu Chen's speed was unexpectedly fast to the point that it caused Xia Hou to make a mistake in his senses!
However, although he had made a mistake due to Mu Chen's speed, Xia Hou was, after all, not an ordinary person. With a stomp of his foot, his body soared half a foot into the air. Like a whip, his legs brought along surging Spiritual Energy, transforming into afterimages as they swept towards the fist winds behind him at lightning speed. Bang!
Bang!
As the leg shadows swept past, even the air was forcefully blasted apart.
Boom!
Fist shadows and leg shadows covered the skies as they smashed against each other. A frightening energy storm formed around the two of them as it wreaked havoc, causing huge cracks to appear on the ground.
At this moment, the two of them had pushed their strength to the limits. As their fists collided, the destructive power was extremely astonishing.
Boom!
Within the giant hall, the two figures crossed each other. Frightening fluctuations shook the space to the point of distortions, causing the surrounding air to explode.
Stabilising his figure in the air, Mu Chen's hand seals rapidly changed. Boundless Spiritual Energy turned into a starry sky behind him as four gigantic beast shadows formed, transforming into starlight as they shot out.
"Four Gods Heavenly Sealing Seal!"
A huge light seal descended from the sky, enveloping Xia Hou's figure within it.
"Hmph."
Gazing at the gigantic light seal, Xia Hou's eyes turned dark and cold. With a cold snort, two of his fingers curled up, as starlight sparkled on his fingertips. In the next instant, his fingers pointed forward, as starlight surged. In the next instant, a gigantic starlight beam directly shot out from his fingertips. Akin to a torrent, it hung in the air.
"Divine Star Shattering Finger!"
As Xia Hou roared, the beam of starlight had already streaked across the sky and violently clashed against the huge light seal that was pressing down.
Boom!
In that instant of collision, a thunderous roar resounded as the two huge forces clashed against each other, before sweeping out.
Looking at the frightening impact that was sweeping over, lightning flickered on Mu Chen's body as he pushed his Lightning God's Physique to the limits. Lightning wandered on the surface of his body as his muscles stretched, unleashing a powerful force. In the next instant, he tightly clenched his fists, allowing the impact to blow up the lightning on his body. As his body trembled, he rapidly retreated a hundred steps.
Opposite him, Xia Hou waved both of his hands, causing boundless Spiritual Energy to transform into a gigantic barrier before him. However, the hastily formed Spiritual Energy barrier was similarly unable to completely block the frightening impact. Therefore, it was quickly shattered apart, while Xia Hou's body staggered as he shot backwards.
Despite going all-out, the two of them were still unable to obtain the absolute upper hand.
Within the giant hall, Tang Mei 'er, Zhou Yuan and the rest were watching the confrontation between the two without blinking their eyes, while waves of ripples involuntarily surged within their hearts. This was the first time that they had seen Mu Chen unleash his full strength. The astonishing combat prowess he displayed caused them to be unable to remain calm. Xia Hou was someone who had passed his Spiritual Energy Disaster! However, at this moment, he was actually obstructed by Mu Chen, who was only at Heavenly Completion Stage Late Phase …
"This fellow truly has some ability."
Looking at the two figures, a dark shadow flashed within Zhen Qing's eyes. The situation before him had clearly exceeded his expectations. Initially, he had assumed that even if Mu Chen was able to fight against Xia Hou for a while, he would, at the very least, fall into a disadvantageous position. However, from the looks of the situation before him, it was clear that it wasn't quite the same as what he had predicted.
"Captain, that brat is extremely powerful. I'm afraid that there's no one here that can match up to him. It's precisely because of this that he's able to fight against Xia Hou." Behind Zhen Qing, a person spoke out in a low voice.
"Captain, do we need to do anything?
What if Xia Hou loses? "Someone quietly asked, voice brimming with sinister intent.
Zhen Qing's gaze faintly flickered as he shot a look at the nearby Luo Li. At this moment, the latter's jade-like hands were grasping the divine sword that caused him to be incomparably fearful, while an incomparably swift and fierce sword intent was slowly radiating from it. Although the sword intent wasn't intense, Zhen Qing was able to see that the space around Luo Li had already been sliced into fine lines by the sword intent.
This divine sword was exceedingly formidable.
"There's no rush. Let's wait. Although that brat has a powerful physical body, I'm afraid that it's impossible for him to defeat Xia Hou."
Zhen Qing faintly shook his head as a chilling smile rose from the corner of his mouth. "Furthermore, we only need a little more time. At that time, I'll let them understand the meaning of true despair!"
Under the attentive gazes of everyone present, Mu Chen raised his head to look at Xia Hou. The latter's face was somewhat dark and solemn. From the looks of it, the fighting strength that Mu Chen had displayed at this moment had caused his heart to be uneasy.
"Looks like the Spiritual Energy Disaster isn't as invincible as you've imagined."
With a faint smile, Mu Chen's eyes slightly drooped down. With a clench of his hand, the Devouring Demonic Dragon Spear appeared in a flash. Baleful aura that blotted the skies swept out, causing the air within the giant hall to turn much colder. With a flick of his finger, the Devouring Demonic Dragon Spear shot out. As the baleful aura spread out, it transformed into an incomparably gigantic demonic dragon. Occupying the air, it radiated with an astonishing baleful aura.
The Devouring Demonic Dragon Spear was a Peerless Rank Spiritual Artifact. Back then, when it was in the hands of Mo Xingtian, the latter had relied on it to temporarily obstruct the sealed Great Meru Demonic Pillar. Therefore, this demonic spear similarly possessed extremely powerful fighting strength.
"Go."
As Mu Chen pointed out with his finger, the demonic dragon had already roared out. Transforming into a ray of demonic light, it swept towards Xia Hou.
Xia Hou's gaze was dark and cold as he looked at the demonic dragon shooting over. All of a sudden, dazzling rays of brilliance erupted from his jade-white palm. If one were to take a closer look, one would notice that there seemed to be a thin veil akin to starlight separating from his palm. Transforming into two rays of brilliance akin to stars, rays of starlight radiated from them, appearing ice-cold and sharp.
"Oh?"
Seeing this, Mu Chen's eyes instantly narrowed as he said, "So the reason why your hands are so formidable is because of this thing."
The thin veil that was akin to starlight was clearly some sort of unique Spiritual Artifact. From the fluctuations radiating from it, its grade might not be low. It's no wonder why when Mu Chen had clashed head-on with it, he had felt a faint pain coming from his palm.
Bang!
Two stars shot out, colliding against the demonic dragon, causing astonishing Spiritual Energy fluctuations to instantly erupt from the two.
Standing in the air, Xia Hou disregarded the frightening fluctuations radiating from above his head as he stared at Mu Chen with an exceedingly cold gaze. Slowly clenching his fists, unconcealable killing intent gushed out from his hoarse voice, "Next up, I'll let you personally witness exactly how great of a disparity there is between you and an expert that has passed his Spiritual Energy Disaster!"
"Before absolute tyrannical Spiritual Energy, your puny fleshly body is simply unable to put up any sort of resistance!"
Veins of blood started to crawl out from within Xia Hou's eyes. Taking a step forward, waves of fluctuations seemed to undulate in the empty space around him. In the next instant, both of his hands came together to form a peculiar hand seal. At the same time, frightening Spiritual Energy fluctuations that caused even Mu Chen's face to slightly change started to erupt like a volcano!
As the frightening Spiritual Energy erupted, Xia Hou's dark and cold voice rang out, one word at a time.
"Stars!"
