Bang!
A dark green stone seal appeared within Mu Chen's palm in a flash. In the next instant, it rapidly expanded in size, before instantly transforming into the size of a metre. An exceedingly heavy energy radiated from it, causing even the surrounding space to warp and distort.
This stone seal was naturally the Quasi-Divine Artifact that Mu Chen had obtained from the Divine Wood Palace, the Black Tortoise Seal.
After a period of refinement, the current Mu Chen was clearly able to truly activate it.
Boom!
The stone seal revolved within Mu Chen's palm. In the next instant, accompanied by Mu Chen's palm winds, it smashed mercilessly against Lu Tian's malevolent-looking white bone gauntlet.
Bang!
A low and deep sound rang out as everyone could see an incomparably tyrannical shock wave wreaking havoc as it swept out. In an instant, the air within a hundred metre radius exploded apart, while some unlucky fellows that were close by were sent flying back while vomiting blood.
As the Spiritual Energy shock wave wreaked havoc, a violent shiver shook through Lu Tian's body, before he shot backwards in a miserable fashion. His feet took a dozen steps in the air, before he managed to stabilise his body. However, his face had already turned ashen.
Upon seeing this, the faces of the surrounding captains that were on Lu Tian's side involuntarily changed, while shock appeared within their eyes as they looked towards Mu Chen. Clearly, they felt that it was somewhat inconceivable that Mu Chen was actually able to gain the upper hand in the first round.
Stabilising his body, Lu Tian's eyes darkened as he looked towards the white bone gauntlet on his hand. At this moment, some of the malevolent-looking bone spikes on the gauntlet had actually broken off, while the chilling white glow radiating from it appeared to have dimmed slightly. Clearly, it had suffered some damage from the previous clash.
"That's why you dare to challenge Ji Xuan. So it's because you're in possession of a Quasi-Divine Artifact?" Staring sinisterly at Mu Chen, Lu Tian's tone contained some ridicule.
"However, if you think you can fight against Ji Xuan with just a Quasi-Divine Weapon, I think you're dreaming."
A calm expression appeared within Mu Chen's eyes. Extending his hand out, the Black Tortoise Seal started to slowly revolve on his palm. Looking towards the ashen faced Lu Tian, a faint smile appeared on his face as he said, "You really have the awareness of being a henchman.
"And the reason I'm here today … is to break one of Ji Xuan's legs."
Lu Tian's face faintly twitched. Thick killing intent gushed out from his eyes as he stared at Mu Chen. Soon after, a sinister smile appeared on his face as he said, "Since you insist on seeking death, don't blame me. I'll capture you today, and throw you in front of Ji Xuan."
"Do it!"
With that, he suddenly waved his hand.
In the sky, the hundreds of teams hesitated for a moment before gathering spiritual energy in their palms and spreading it out.
"Bang!"
Low and deep sounds of Spiritual Energy gushing out rang out as figures furiously shot out, rushing towards Mu Chen like a swarm of locusts. Swift and fierce Spiritual Energy attacks were akin to a torrential storm, enveloping Mu Chen. This lineup was exceedingly astonishing.
The strength of these people might not even have reached First Grade Spirit Disaster. However, with so many of them stacking together, even First Grade Spirit Disaster experts would have no choice but to retreat.
However, Mu Chen did not retreat. Standing in the sky, his black pupils reflected the torrential Spiritual Energy attacks shooting towards him.
Behind him, Luo Li, Wen Qingxuan and the rest did not take action. Instead, they quietly observed the spectacle unfolding before them.
All of a sudden, faint vibrations rang out from the Black Tortoise Seal on Mu Chen's palm. In the next instant, with a wave of his hand, the Black Tortoise Seal instantly rushed towards the horizon, rapidly expanding in size. In the blink of an eye, it had grown to a size of several hundred metres.
As the Black Tortoise Seal hovered in the sky, its size was akin to a mountain, appearing indestructible.
As the Black Tortoise Seal hovered above Mu Chen's head, its shadow enveloped over him. Faintly, a low and deep turtle roar seemed to resound in a drawn-out manner.
"Black Tortoise Forcefield!"
As the ancient turtle roar resounded, a dark-green light screen abruptly descended from the stone seal. This light screen was approximately a hundred metres in size, enveloping an area of a hundred metres, including Mu Chen.
Bang!
Bang!
Powerful Spiritual Energy attacks whizzed over, before rushing into the dark-green light screen. In the next instant, a peculiar scene appeared. Upon entering the light screen, those attacks instantly shattered apart, akin to extinguished fireworks, before rapidly disappearing without a trace.
This strange scene instantly caused the faces of those who had taken action to drastically change, while horror flashed within their eyes.
"Is this the might of a Quasi-Divine Artifact …"
Seeing this, shock and astonishment also flashed within Mu Chen's eyes. This was the first time he had truly activated the Black Tortoise Seal after obtaining it. Furthermore, its might had caused him to feel rather fearful.
The interior of this glowing sphere appeared to be akin to a gravitational field. Regardless of what it was, it would be crushed and shattered by the heavy energies that permeated within the glowing sphere. Even Spiritual Energy was no exception.
This was basically a fusion of attack and defence. With such a treasure in his possession, Mu Chen wasn't the slightest bit afraid of the encirclement of his opponents.
"Revolve!"
With a change of his hand seal, the Black Tortoise Seal started to revolve. In the next instant, the gigantic dark-green glowing sphere of light enveloped the various groups.
Bang!
As the glowing sphere enveloped over, the bodies of some of the people who were unable to evade in time abruptly froze. Shock and terror erupted within their eyes, while their faces rapidly turned red, appearing as if they were unable to breathe.
It was as if a mountain was pressing down on their bodies, causing them to be unable to circulate the Spiritual Energy within their bodies.
Puff!
Puff!
Within the encirclement of the glowing sphere, figures continued to spit out mouthfuls of blood one after another. Akin to birds with broken wings, their bodies fell straight down from the sky, before piercing into the yellow sand with puffs.
As the glowing sphere swept past, dozens of people instantly fell to the ground. In the sky that was originally filled with people, an empty space appeared.
At this moment, even Lu Tian's expression turned exceedingly ugly. At the same time, a shadow of shock flashed within his eyes. He never imagined that the strange stone seal in Mu Chen's hand would actually be so formidable.
Chi.
Shooting a look at him, Mu Chen changed his hand seal once again. The Black Tortoise Seal revolved once again, causing the glowing sphere to envelop Lu Tian.
Bang!
Lu Tian's expression changed. With a furious stomp of his foot, Spiritual Energy completely erupted from his body, shooting backwards like a bolt of lightning. Coincidentally, he managed to evade the encirclement of the glowing sphere.
"There's a flaw in speed."
Mu Chen faintly nodded his head. Although the Black Tortoise Force Field was capable of both attack and defence, its movement speed wasn't fast. If the opponent's speed was exceedingly fast, one would be able to evade it.
With a smile, Mu Chen gave a thought, causing the dark-green glowing sphere to press towards Lu Tian once again.
Seeing this, Lu Tian could only retreat once again.
Appearing to be planning to use Lu Tian to test out the capabilities of the Black Tortoise Seal, Mu Chen diligently activated the Black Tortoise Seal. As a result, a somewhat comical scene appeared. The dark-green glowing sphere continued to chase after Lu Tian. Not daring to be enveloped by it, the latter could only continue to evade in a somewhat miserable manner.
After suffering such a huge loss, Lu Tian's companions no longer dared to take action. At this moment, they had completely understood the situation. The reason why Mu Chen and his group had suddenly found Lu Tian was because they had absolute confidence in their victory. After all, from the looks of it, Wen Qingxuan had yet to take action. At that time, if both parties were to truly fight, they truly did not have much confidence in their hearts despite having more people on their side …
"Mu Chen, is your ability to rely on a Divine Artifact to suppress people?" Being chased around in a miserable manner, Lu Tian's face grew increasingly ashen as he roared in a stern voice.
"If you really have the ability, then use your true strength to defeat me!"
With a clench of his hand, the Black Tortoise Seal rapidly shrank, transforming into a ray of light that shot into his palm. Raising his head, he sent a faint smile towards Lu Tian and said, "Although I know that you're using this kind of underhanded method to provoke me, regardless of what method I use, your final outcome will not change much."
"Come and give it a try!"
"White Bone Art, Divine White Bone Body!"
With a malevolent laugh, Lu Tian ferociously took a step forward, as greyish-white light radiated from within his body. As the light condensed on his body, it gradually transformed into a thin layer of white bone armour on the surface of his body.
The white bone armour wrapped around Lu Tian's body, while its surface suffused with a serene and cold lustre. Faintly, extremely powerful energy fluctuations radiated from it. What Lu Tian was using seemed to be a kind of body tempering technique.
This so-called White Bone Body was something that Lu Tian had obtained from the Bone Sect. It possessed extraordinary might, and was incomparably tyrannical regardless of defence or attack. Lu Tian's strength was also at the peak of 1st Grade Spirit Disaster, and had yet to pass through 2nd Grade Spirit Disaster. However, by relying on this so-called "Divine White Bone Body", he was able to fight an intense battle with a 2nd Grade Spirit Disaster expert without losing.
Upon seeing this scene, the expressions of Lin Zhou and the other groups that had been surrounded by Lu Tian and his group changed slightly. It was likely that they had heard of the tyrannical might of Lu Tian's "Divine White Bone Body".
"Is this the Bone Sect's Divine White Bone Body?"
Raising his head, Mu Chen's black pupils focused on Lu Tian, whose entire body was covered in white bones. In the next instant, he gave an indifferent smile, as he slowly clenched his hands. In the next instant, black lightning immediately gushed out from within his body.
Low and deep thunderous roars resounded across the heavens and earth.
Black lightning seemed to form lightning runes, as they quietly condensed on the surface of Mu Chen's skin.
Clearly, Mu Chen really wanted to test whether the Bone Sect's "White Bone Body" was unique, or his Lightning God's Physique was stronger by a notch.
