Boundless Spiritual Energy swept out from the stone platform like a hurricane. Vaguely, thunderous roars could be heard.
Holding onto the Devouring Dragon Demonic Spear, Mu Chen's eyes were locked onto the puppet before him. Black lightning flickered on his body, while a powerful energy was concealed under his tensed muscles. The moment it exploded, it would instantly unleash astonishing killing power.
Facing Mu Chen's cautious gaze, the eyes of the metallic black puppet flickered with a purple light as a heart-palpitating pressure quietly spread out.
The human and puppet on the stone platform seemed to have fallen into a confrontation.
However, this confrontation was clearly only for an instant.
The puppet did not possess any intellect, nor did it know what fear was. Regardless of whether it was a Human Body Disaster or a genuine Sovereign standing before it, it would not hesitate to unleash its full strength. Therefore, it took the initiative to tear apart the atmosphere.
Boom!
The puppet furiously stomped its feet, causing the earth to slightly tremble. The purple profound runes on its body erupted with dazzling rays of light as a frightening Spiritual Energy fluctuation erupted like a tidal wave.
Rustle!
Its body, which was charging forward, disappeared into thin air in an instant.
At this moment, Mu Chen's face drastically changed. He knew that the puppet did not disappear, but its speed was so fast that it had escaped from his line of sight.
The puppet possessed an extremely astonishing speed.
Roar!
Although Mu Chen was shocked by the puppet's speed, he was, after all, someone with ample combat experience.
Immediately, a dragon shadow appeared beneath his feet as a dragon roar resounded.
His figure brought along a series of afterimages as he abruptly retreated.
Rustle!
As the wind whistled past his ears, Mu Chen, who was retreating, suddenly narrowed his eyes. Without the slightest hesitation, the Devouring Dragon Demonic Spear in his hand brought along a torrential Ominous Aura. Akin to a demonic python wreaking havoc, it pierced towards the space behind him at lightning speed.
Bang!
Bang!
The air exploded under Mu Chen's spear.
Faint traces were left behind in the void.
Ding!
The Devouring Dragon Demonic Spear pierced through the void at lightning speed as a metallic sound suddenly resounded. One could only see a long black spear extending from the void. The tip of the spear accurately pressed against the tip of the Devouring Dragon Demonic Spear.
As the black light surged, it blocked Mu Chen's spear to the point that it couldn't move an inch further.
Boom!
Black lightning surged from Mu Chen's body, causing his body to grow taller by an inch. Five lightning runes instantly surfaced on his chest, along with a mountainous power.
Like a torrent, it coursed through his muscles.
Rustle!
Rustle!
Mu Chen's gaze turned sharp as his arm trembled. The Devouring Dragon Demonic Spear in his hand seemed to have unleashed a roar as the spear images that hid the skies and covered the earth fell like a storm.
With a frightening attack, he unleashed without holding anything back.
Mu Chen did not hold back at all.
The moment he took action, he had instantly pushed his Lightning God's Physique to the Penta Rune Lightning Physique. Furthermore, with the might of the Devouring Dragon Demonic Spear in his hand, even experts of Spiritual Energy Disaster would have no choice but to evade his attacks, not daring to face him head-on.
However, Mu Chen's opponent this time wasn't a Spiritual Energy Disaster, but a Slaughter Puppet that didn't have any fear or emotions. Furthermore, its strength had reached Spirit Disaster.
Ding!
Ding!
Therefore, the puppet did not show any signs of dodging in the face of such a formidable attack. Taking a step forward, the long spear in its hand swam like a swimming dragon. Spear afterimages filled the air, with every spear afterimage pointing straight at the incoming attack that was akin to a demonic python.
This was a completely head-on fighting style.
As the two storm-like spear afterimages clashed, they silently extinguished.
Outside the Spiritual Treasure Mountain, Wen Qingxuan, Luo Li and the rest wore grave expressions as they watched the clash. Although both parties seemed to be exchanging blows, Mu Chen was the one who initiated the attack. But right now, all of his attacks were blocked by the puppet, unable to advance an inch. Clearly, Mu Chen's battle this time would be extremely intense.
Ding!
Ding!
As the spear afterimages were constantly extinguished, Mu Chen's gaze grew increasingly sharp. His hand, which was tightly gripping onto the Devouring Dragon Demonic Spear, was faintly trembling. That's because every single clash would cause an extremely tyrannical force to surge over. If the Devouring Dragon Demonic Spear in his hand wasn't a Peerless Rank Spiritual Artifact, and if his physical body hadn't reached the Penta Rune Lightning Physique, he would have already suffered injuries from the clash.
The strength of First Grade Spirit Disaster and Spiritual Energy Disaster weren't on the same level!
Ding!
The spear afterimages that blotted the sky abruptly dissipated as the two spears pierced through the air, accurately colliding in mid-air.
Bang!
A frightening gale swept out as traces of explosions could be vaguely seen.
The purple light in the puppet's eyes abruptly flickered as it released its grip on the spear. With a flash of black light, its figure mysteriously appeared before Mu Chen. Thereafter, it heavily slammed its palm towards Mu Chen's chest, causing faint ripples to appear in the space beneath its palm.
It had finally taken control of the initiative and launched a powerful attack.
Furthermore, its grasp of the battle was shocking. At this instant, Mu Chen's torrential attacks were completely extinguished.
Mu Chen's expression slightly changed as a dragon image abruptly formed beneath his feet. He released his grip on the Devouring Dragon Demonic Spear as his figure turned into a streak of black light and retreated.
The puppet closely chased after him, its palm locked onto Mu Chen as it grew closer.
It was impossible for Mu Chen to evade its lightning-like palm.
Facing the puppet's relentless attacks, a wolf-like ferociousness surged within Mu Chen's eyes. Since he couldn't evade, then he would fight it head-on!
Boom!
Boundless Spiritual Energy swept out from behind Mu Chen as a starry sky appeared. Shortly after, four gigantic beastly figures rapidly condensed and violently punched out, accompanied by Mu Chen's fist.
"Four Gods Heaven Sealing Seal!"
A low roar rang out as the four beastly figures roared towards the sky.
It turned into a glowing seal as it shot towards the puppet.
Purple light flickered within the puppet's eyes.
With a swish, the palm that was filled with black light slammed against the light seal that contained violent Spiritual Energy.
Boom!
A muffled sound rang out as a Spiritual Energy storm wreaked havoc at the point of contact. The light seal, which seemed to be huge and sharp, only lasted for an instant before it completely shattered. A black palm print broke through the light seal.
Like a bolt of lightning, it slammed against Mu Chen's chest.
Boom!
A deep sound rang out as Mu Chen's body was sent flying by the palm.
Outside the Spiritual Treasure Mountain, a series of exclamations rang out.
Both of Mu Chen's feet heavily landed on the ground as his body rapidly slid backwards. Both of his palms fiercely grabbed onto the ground, tearing apart the hard stone slabs. Thereafter, both of his hands drew a hundred-meter-long mark on the ground.
Only then did his sliding body stabilize.
Stabilizing his body, Mu Chen raised his head. There was a trace of blood on the corner of his lips. However, a cold light flashed in his black pupils.
Rustle!
The Devouring Dragon Demonic Spear suddenly appeared behind the puppet as an ominous aura surged.
The sharp tip of the spear moved in a cunning and ruthless arc as it fiercely stabbed towards the back of the puppet.
However, just when the Devouring Dragon Demonic Spear was about to stab into the puppet, the puppet suddenly turned around and lashed out with a leg that was akin to a hammer.
The air beneath its feet exploded as the leg swiftly smashed against the tip of the spear.
Boom!
The air trembled.
The Devouring Dragon Demonic Spear was actually sent flying by the puppet's leg. However, the puppet's leg was also pierced by the sharp spear light. Clearly, even if its body was as tough as steel, it couldn't disregard the sharpness of a Peerless Rank Spiritual Artifact. If it was struck by it, it would be pierced through.
The Devouring Dragon Demonic Spear turned into a streak of light as it streaked across the sky and hovered behind Mu Chen. The ominous aura surged as if it was a peerless python as it furiously roared at the puppet.
Outside of the Spiritual Treasure Mountain, everyone held their breaths as they watched the intense confrontation. Both parties were incomparably ferocious and the slightest bit of carelessness would result in heavy injuries. However, in this confrontation, the puppet had clearly gained the upper hand. It destroyed all of Mu Chen's attacks like a hot knife through butter. At the same time, it had also displayed the strength of a First Grade Spirit Disaster to the fullest.
"Mu Chen has suffered some injuries. If this continues on, I'm afraid that he'll lose without a doubt. Compared to Spiritual Energy Disaster, Spirit Disaster is much, much more tyrannical. Furthermore, the steel body of this puppet far surpasses that of ordinary people that have passed their Human Body Disaster," said Wen Qingxuan slowly.
Mu Chen's performance was exceptionally perfect. Facing such a powerful puppet, he was still able to advance and retreat. Furthermore, he could even counterattack. Although his attacks were all blocked by the puppet in the end, it was already not bad for him to be able to achieve this with the strength of a Human Body Disaster cultivator.
"Indeed, it's not easy."
Luo Li lightly nodded her head. She did not deny the fact that Mu Chen was in a disadvantageous position at this moment. However, shortly after, she smiled and said, "However, before the outcome is revealed, it doesn't mean anything."
"Let's hope so." Wen Qingxuan faintly said as she looked at the slender figure that was slowly standing up on the stone platform.
"Indeed worthy of the strength of a First Grade Spirit Disaster. It's truly difficult to deal with." Standing up, Mu Chen wiped the trace of blood from the corner of his lips as he muttered.
Boom!
The puppet's eyes were still flickering with a purple light, without any emotions in them. It looked at Mu Chen with indifference and emptiness. It took a step forth, causing the earth to tremble. Clearly, it was about to launch another attack.
Boom!
The ground beneath its feet cracked as the figure of the puppet turned into a black light as it flew out with a surging killing intent.
Looking at the black light that was shooting towards him, Mu Chen's black pupils abruptly surged with a chill. Shortly after, his hand seal changed.
Rumble!
Unknowingly, violent Spiritual Energy swept out from the sky, causing the colour of the sky to darken by quite a bit. Two gigantic black glowing lotuses appeared to have formed a gigantic Spiritual Array. In the next instant, rays of light shone down, completely enveloping the entire region.
"A Spiritual Array?"
Slightly narrowing her eyes, Wen Qingxuan said, "However, a Spiritual Array of this level might not be able to obstruct the puppet of First Grade Spirit Disaster."
As the two black lotuses rapidly revolved, two black beams of light shot out from the heart of the lotuses. Condensing together, they were akin to light cannons as they shot towards the puppet at lightning speed.
However, facing the attack of the Spiritual Array, the puppet's figure paused as it threw a punch forth. The black Spiritual Energy was like a waterfall as it smashed the black beams of light. At the same time, even the Butchering Demonic Lotus Spiritual Array was destroyed by the gale from the punch.
After destroying the Spiritual Array with a punch, a dazzling purple light burst out from the puppet's eyes as it sensed a dangerous fluctuation. Lowering its head, it saw Mu Chen forming a unique seal with a single hand. As the seal was formed, the countless lush trees in the Spiritual Treasure Mountain burst out with a brilliant light. Streaks of green light shot out as they gathered towards Mu Chen's hand.
Everyone was startled by this sudden turn of events. They could sense a frightening fluctuation frantically condensing into being.
"The Spiritual Array is only a cover. What comes next is the real show." Luo Li said softly as he looked at the figure within the green light.
In the sky, the glowing elder looked at Mu Chen as he absorbed the energy of the myriad of trees between the heavens and earth. In his hollow eyes, there seemed to be a strand of a peculiar fluctuation surging out.
