Rumble!
A low and deep peal of thunder resounded across the scarlet-yellow desert, causing even the originally azure sky to appear to darken.
Standing in the air, black lightning crazily sparkled on the surface of Mu Chen's body. Ripples of black lightning radiated out in circles, causing even the surrounding space to warp and distort.
As of now, Mu Chen's Lightning God's Physique had already reached the level of Hexa Rune Lightning Physique. It's said that when his Lightning God's Physique reaches the Ennea Rune Lightning Physique, just the strength of his physical body would be able to match up to a Sovereign.
At that stage, a casual punch from Mu Chen would be able to shatter space itself. With a flip of his palm, he would be able to obliterate a mountain. Truly tyrannical.
As Mu Chen completely activated his Lightning God's Physique, Lu Tian's dark gaze swept over from the sky. Looking at the lightning sparkling on the surface of Mu Chen's body, the corners of his eyes faintly twitched for a moment.
Clearly, he had also sensed the tyrannical strength of Mu Chen's physical body.
"I don't believe that your physical body is stronger than my Divine White Bone Physique!"
Lu Tian's gaze was overcast. At this stage, he would naturally no longer underestimate Mu Chen. However, at the same time, he had extremely strong confidence in his Divine White Bone Physique. That's because he had crossed hands with Ji Xuan before. Although he had lost in the end, the tyrannical strength of his Divine White Bone Physique had caused even Ji Xuan to be somewhat astonished. Just this point alone was more than enough to make Lu Tian feel proud.
Therefore, he did not feel the slightest bit of fear when facing against Mu Chen.
Chilling white spiritual light continuously radiated from the surface of Lu Tian's body.
Chilling white bones that caused one's heart to palpitate appeared to have grown out from within Lu Tian's skin, forming a tight bone armour.
Covering him, it appeared to be indestructible.
A pair of chilling eyes shot out from beneath the white bones. With a fierce stomp of his foot, ripples started to undulate in the space beneath his feet, while his figure instantly disappeared.
"Such speed!"
Lin Province.
Upon seeing this scene, the faces of Xu Huang and the rest uncontrollably changed.
They could barely see it with their naked eyes, and could only vaguely feel a little spiritual power fluctuation.
Due to them being unable to track down Lu Tian's figure, their gazes instantly turned towards Mu Chen. After all, regardless of how fast Lu Tian was,
His goal was to attack Mu Chen.
Whoosh!
Just as their eyes locked onto Mu Chen …
The air behind Mu Chen fluctuated as a figure made of white light appeared in a flash. A fist covered in white bones contained a frightening amount of power as it heavily rumbled towards Mu Chen's back without the slightest bit of mercy.
His speed was like a bolt of lightning.
Boom!
The white bone fist directly pierced through Mu Chen's body, but no blood spurted out.
"Afterimage?"
Lyu Tian's expression changed slightly.
In the next instant, his right leg abruptly lashed out like a whip towards his back. The chilling white Spiritual Energy seemed to have formed into a huge Spiritual Energy tornado.
Like a battle axe, it slashed out furiously.
Bang!
A palm suffused with the glow of lightning heavily patted out from his back, smashing head-on against the white bone kick.
Boom!
A low and deep sound appeared as an energy ripple that was visible to the naked eye spread apart. It was as though space itself was being torn apart. The air within that region was unable to endure the impact and exploded with a bang, causing air waves to churn.
A faint tremble shook through the bodies of the two. However, in the next instant, they had already rushed out in a phantom-like fashion.
Lightning and white rays of brilliance erupted in the sky. However, what was strange was that everyone was simply unable to see their figures. All they could see were the two clumps of brilliance smashing against each other time and time again. With every collision, frightening energies would radiate out, causing berserk sandstorms to rise in the desert below.
"Indeed, that Lyu Tian does have some ability. He's actually able to contend against Mu Chen in terms of physical strength."
Solemn expressions appeared on the faces of Xu Huang and the rest. All of them were extremely clear about how strong Mu Chen's physical body was. However, from the looks of it, Lyu Tian was actually able to contend against Mu Chen in terms of physical strength without falling into a disadvantageous position. This alone was sufficient to show how strong the other party was.
"The Bone Sect is similarly a famous and powerful force in the ancient Shattered Continent. The Divine White Bone Physique that they've passed down naturally isn't weak."
Wen Qingxuan continued, "It's said that Lyu Tian had crossed hands with Ji Xuan before. What he relied on was the Divine White Bone Physique. Although he lost in the end, he managed to cause some trouble for Ji Xuan. If not, Ji Xuan wouldn't have valued his strength and allowed him to become his ally."
"What's more, Lyu Tian's Spiritual Energy is stronger than Mu Chen by a notch. Coupled with the strength of his physical body, although he has yet to pass through the second grade of Spirit Disaster, I'm afraid that he would have the strength to contend against experts at the second grade of Spirit Disaster." said Luo Li with a faint smile.
"He's that strong?"
Shock and astonishment appeared on the faces of Xu Huang and the rest. Although the strength of the various groups in the current Great Spiritual Academy Tournament were rising at an astonishing rate, there were still extremely few people that were able to reach the strength of Second Grade Spirit Disaster. Furthermore, those people definitely possessed the qualifications to enter the finals. However, from the looks of it, Lu Tian was actually able to possess the strength to contend against a Second Grade Spirit Disaster, which was more than sufficient to display his strength.
Nodding their heads, Wen Qingxuan and Luo Li faintly raised their slender, snow-white necks, their beautiful eyes focused on the exceedingly intense confrontation in the sky. They knew that, rather than saying that Mu Chen was exchanging blows with Lyu Tian, it would be more accurate to say that he was using another method to contend against Ji Xuan.
Lyu Tian had once lost to Ji Xuan, and was subdued by the latter. Although Mu Chen wasn't interested in subduing Lyu Tian, he was interested in forcefully shattering the feeling of superiority that Ji Xuan had left in Lyu Tian's heart.
Bang!
Everyone's gazes converged on the sky as another loud bang resounded. Frightening energies shot out, causing two glowing figures to abruptly shoot backwards. Both of them took a dozen steps back in the sky, with every step they took causing the air to explode apart.
Everyone's gazes instantly shifted over at this moment.
In the sky, two figures surfaced from within the dazzling rays of light.
At this moment, charred black patches were scattered across Lyu Tian's skeletal body. Clearly, he had been injured by the berserk Divine Black Lightning during his clash with Mu Chen.
Compared to Lyu Tian, Mu Chen was in a slightly better state.
Black lightning wrapped around his body, causing his body to be as sturdy as metal. Although there were white scars on his skin, it was impossible for him to escape.
Although there were white scars present on his skin, it was basically nothing to Mu Chen's tyrannical fleshly body.
The previous confrontation that caused people's scalps to turn numb unexpectedly did not cause any substantial injuries to the two of them.
This scene caused the corners of the eyes of quite a few people to twitch. Aren't the fleshly bodies of these two fellows too powerful?
"Quite a strong body."
Lightning bolts flowed across the surface of Mu Chen's body, while his eyes, which were also flashing with lightning bolts, stared at Lu Tian.
Ever since the start of the Great Spiritual Academy Tournament, Lu Tian, who was standing before him, had probably become the strongest person in the world.
This was the strongest physical body he had ever seen.
"With that tone of yours, do you really believe that you've already gained the upper hand?" Lu Tian sneered. In the next instant, chilling white light started to circulate on the surface of his body.
Immediately, it quickly dissipated.
White bones.
It once again became lustrous and full of power.
"However, I did not expect you to be able to cultivate your physical body to such an extent. However, I still have to sadly tell you that there is still a huge gap between you and Ji Xuan!"
Lu Guang sneered as he ridiculed. However, his thoughts were different from what he said. This was because he knew how difficult it was to cultivate one's physical body.
If not for the bone pool within the Bone Sect ruins, he might not be able to cultivate his Divine White Bone Physique to such an extent.
Originally, he had assumed that there weren't many people within the Great Spiritual Academy Tournament that could contend against him in terms of physical body. However, who could have imagined that the Mu Chen before him wasn't any weaker than him.
Being able to receive the attention of Ji Xuan, this fellow truly did have some ability.
Hearing Lu Guang's words, Mu Chen gave a soft laugh. In the next instant, his voice seemed to be accompanied by thunder as he said, "Push your Divine White Bone Physique to the limits of what you can do. If not, you might not be able to maintain your arrogance."
Lu Guang's gaze turned cold as he gloomily stared at Mu Chen. However, upon seeing the latter's serene and deep abyss-like black pupils, without the slightest ripple, for some unknown reason, he felt a chill in his heart.
This chill caused Lu Guang to turn silent for a moment. In the next instant, he slowly extended both of his hands out. Staring coldly at Mu Chen, his hand seals abruptly changed. As his hand seals changed, the white bones on the surface of his body started to turn sparkling and translucent, appearing as if they were made of jade. However, anyone would be able to sense that the strength of Lu Guang's physical body had increased once again.
"What a big tone. My Divine White Bone Physique has already been cultivated to the level of transforming bone into jade. Although I was defeated in the end when I crossed hands with Ji Xuan, he wasn't able to break my Divine White Bone Physique. Now, what are you relying on?"
The increase in strength within his body caused the chill in Lu Guang's heart to rapidly dissipate, while his voice once again turned dark and cold.
Lightning light flowed within Mu Chen's black pupils, while not a single trace of emotion could be seen within them. In the next instant, his hands slowly clenched tightly, as thunder roars akin to that of a furious dragon rang out from within his body.
Rumble!
The thunder roars grew louder and louder, before reverberating across the entire stretch of the world. Even the storms wreaking havoc within the desert were suppressed.
The sky started to turn dark.
Chi Chi.
Lu Tian's pupils faintly contracted due to the scene before him. In the next instant, a chilling glint flashed within his eyes, as dazzling splendor furiously blossomed from the surface of his jade-like body.
"Swish!"
At this moment, his figure was akin to a ray of jade light as it shot across the horizon, heading straight for Mu Chen. Clearly, he had also sensed some danger, and did not want to allow Mu Chen to unleash his full strength.
"Divine White Bone Body, Divine Jade Bone Fist!"
An explosive roar abruptly rang out from Lu Guang's body. In the next instant, his body appeared right before Mu Chen, while his jade-like fist rumbled out heavily.
Bang!
The surrounding space started to vibrate, as all of the air within a hundred feet radius exploded apart. The desert below was directly split apart, as gigantic fissures rapidly extended out.
Horror gushed out from the eyes of countless people.
Their gazes turned towards Mu Chen, only to see that the black lightning glow that was crazily flickering on Mu Chen's body had rapidly retracted back into his body. From the looks of it, it seemed as if it had been suppressed.
"Something's wrong!"
However, very quickly, some people felt that something was amiss. That was because they saw that as the lightning glow retracted back into Mu Chen's body, lightning like patterns suddenly started to rapidly extend across Mu Chen's arm.
In a short instant, nearly half of Mu Chen's body had been completely occupied by the lightning patterns that flickered with black light.
That scene was rather ferocious.
When the lightning patterns covered half of Mu Chen's body, lightning finally erupted from his deep and serene eyes, as if a lightning dragon had awoken.
Bang!
The arm that was covered in black lightning patterns shot out at a speed that seemed slow, but was impossible to evade.
Boom!
In the next instant, the lightning fist and the jade bone fist heavily smashed against each other.
At the instant of the collision, Lu Guang saw Mu Chen's lips faintly squirm, as a somewhat indifferent voice that caused his entire body to turn ice-cold slowly rang out.
"Since Ji Xuan is unable to break your Divine White Bone Body, let me break it."
