Standing on the Great Meru Demonic Pillar, Mu Chen's ominous aura swept out in the heavens and earth. The pressure that burst out in that instant made everyone hold their breaths.
Everyone raised their heads and looked at the slender and towering silhouette of the youth. His handsome face was filled with sharpness and killing intent at this moment. His scarlet eyes flickered with lightning as he faintly looked at Ji Xuan, who had a dark expression on his face, and calmly said, "Let us put an end to the battle that did not have an outcome back then."
Ji Xuan's gaze was dark as he slowly said, "Looks like I was a little too much in the Mirror of Judgement and gave you an opportunity instead."
Judging from the current situation, Mu Chen had clearly obtained a great opportunity when he was trapped in the Spiritual Energy vortex, which allowed his strength to soar and reach the Third Grade Spirit Disaster. Furthermore, he even managed to establish his Sovereign Sea, reaching the same level as him.
Hearing his words, Mu Chen did not comment, but the chill in his eyes grew denser.
"But you truly did not disappoint me. Otherwise, my fear for you would be a joke."
Ji Xuan slowly clenched his fist as divine light gathered and a gorgeous divine spear appeared in a flash. The shape of this divine spear was extremely peculiar, there were actually wings that stretched out on the body of the spear, like the wings of an angel.
Vigorous and blazing holy light spread out in circles. That kind of fluctuation was extremely tyrannical.
When Dean Tai Cang, the Angel's Spear, saw the spear in Ji Xuan's hand that was emitting powerful ripples, his eyes slightly narrowed as he faintly said, "The Holy Spirit House is truly generous to even give the Low Rank Divine Artifact to Ji Xuan."
"Haha, Ji Xuan's performance in the academy is outstanding, and he has made many contributions, so this Angel's Spear was given to him."
Dean Tensei of the Holy Spirit House smiled and said, "Although this Angel's Spear is powerful, it is still lacking compared to Mu Chen's Demonic Pillar. It seems that Hokuang Reiwon has put in a lot of effort."
Obviously …
He did not think that the Great Meru Demonic Pillar was obtained by Mu Chen on his own, but was bestowed by Hokuang Reiwon.
Dean Tai Cang sneered, but he was too lazy to explain anything to him. He just looked at the two people in the sky. The atmosphere there was getting more and more tense.
Everyone was looking at the sky with blazing expectations in their eyes. The two before them could be considered to be standing at the pinnacle amongst the younger generations of their Spiritual Academies.
It had to be the battle of the champions.
This would also be the most dazzling battle in the Great Spiritual Academy Tournament.
"Buzz!"
Under the gazes of countless people, Chen Fan's expression changed.
Ji Xuan tightened his grip on the long spear. In the next instant, his gaze abruptly turned cold and his figure trembled.
He disappeared into thin air.
Boom!
But in that instant when he disappeared, Mu Chen threw a punch out without any hesitation towards the space before him.
Rumble!
Black lightning crazily surged as boundless Spiritual Energy gathered within the lightning. It roared out like an enraged dragon, mixed with a terrifying power that was enough to heavily injure a Third Grade Spirit Disaster expert with a single punch.
In the void, a sharp long spear suddenly tore through the air. Divine light surged with overbearing and blazing heat.
It caused distortions to appear in the surrounding space. As the long spear swept past, the sharp tip of the spear had already smashed against the fist that was wrapped in lightning at lightning speed.
Boom!
A metallic sound rang out.
A terrifying gale swept out from the fist and the spear, and visible ripples spread out layer by layer.
However, Mu Chen's figure did not move.
He looked up ahead. The space was a little distorted and Ji Xuan's figure was not revealed. Only the long spear seemed to have penetrated through space.
"Is there any meaning in such a pointless probe?"
Without any expression on his face, Mu Chen threw a punch out. His fist was like a bolt of lightning that streaked across the horizon as it slammed against the void at an indescribable speed.
Rumble!
Lightning exploded in the void as a figure was sent flying out. His feet took ten-odd steps in the sky before he stabilised his figure. Everyone directed their gazes over and saw that it was Ji Xuan, who was holding onto a long spear with a dark expression.
"Hmph."
Ji Xuan's gaze was cold as he coldly snorted. However, his gaze had turned completely grave as he abruptly formed seals with both of his hands. In the distorted space behind him, the Sovereign Sea that was filled with divine light abruptly burst forth with myriad feet of light. Shortly after, his Sovereign Sea violently whistled as countless rays of divine light gushed out.
"Divine Light Art - Angel Legion!"
Along with Ji Xuan's cold bark, the strands of divine light started to condense, forming into hundreds and thousands of divine light figures. Their appearances couldn't be seen clearly, but there was a pair of wings flapping behind their backs. Every single one of those divine light figures had powerful Spiritual Energy fluctuations emanating from them. Those fluctuations weren't any weaker than experts that had gone through their Spirit Disaster.
Around the Golden Battle Stage, many students inwardly smacked their lips. Ji Xuan was truly formidable to actually cultivate such a profound Divine Art. Just this move alone had revealed the gap between the Sovereign Realm and Spirit Disaster. It wasn't something that could be made up for with any means. If it wasn't for the fact that Mu Chen had established his Sovereign Sea at this moment, it would be impossible for him to confront Ji Xuan.
"Kill!"
Ji Xuan's gaze was cold as the long spear in his hand trembled. The divine light figures instantly whistled out and formed into a formation that surrounded Mu Chen.
Rustle!
Rustle!
The Divine Light Angels tightly gripped onto the long spear in their hands as they shot towards Mu Chen.
"Get lost!"
Mu Chen's gaze was also cold as he stomped his feet. Countless scarlet lights swept out from his scarlet Sovereign Sea and flew towards the incoming Divine Light Angels.
However, just when the two sides were about to collide, a cold smile rose on the corner of Ji Xuan's lips as his seals changed. "Angel's Funeral!"
Boom!
Boom!
Boom!
An earth-shattering explosion resounded as the Divine Light Angels suddenly self-destructed, forming into a terrifying storm of divine light that enveloped Mu Chen in an instant. The storm of divine light was roughly a thousand feet in size, causing huge cracks to appear on the Golden Battle Stage below.
The frightening line-up caused the faces of countless people to change. A confrontation of such a degree was extremely rare in the past Great Spiritual Academy Tournaments.
As the storm of divine light wreaked havoc, everyone had their eyes fixed on it. Being struck by such a terrifying attack, even the current Mu Chen would find it hard to endure, right?
The storm of divine light gradually weakened as numerous gazes unblinkingly stared at it. Thereafter, suppressed cries of shock rang out. Up in the sky, Ji Xuan's pupils had also slightly narrowed.
As the storm dissipated, a figure still stood in the sky, it was Mu Chen.
At this moment, the clothes on his upper body had been torn to shreds and lightning liquid was slowly flowing on the surface of his body. On his chest, nine lightning runes flickered with a faint lustre as thunder roared endlessly from his body. At this moment, aside from his clothes being torn to shreds, there wasn't a single wound on Mu Chen's body. It was as if Ji Xuan's terrifying attack had not caused any harm to him.
"What a terrifying physical body." Someone gulped as he spoke in a trembling voice.
In the sky, the youth's upper body was bare. His skin was as bright as silver. Although his slender figure did not seem very muscular or majestic, his slightly frail body gave off a feeling that even if the heavens fell and the earth split apart, he would still be unshakable.
At this moment, Mu Chen's eyes had completely turned resplendent. Even the powerful baleful energy within his body could not suppress the violent lightning energy. Slowly clenching his fists, his lightning eyes indifferently stared at Ji Xuan, akin to a god looking down at an ant.
"If your attack is only at this level, then let me do it."
Although Mu Chen's voice was soft and slow, it was accompanied by the roar of thunder. As his every word rang out, it rumbled and reverberated between the heavens and earth, causing the Spiritual Energy between the heavens and earth to fluctuate.
Rumble.
When Mu Chen's final word rang out, someone suddenly felt the heavens and earth turning darker. Abruptly raising their heads, they were shocked to see that layers of black lightning clouds had unknowingly appeared in the sky. Those lightning clouds covered a radius of a few thousand feet. The dense black lightning clouds made people not even dare to breathe loudly.
Within those lightning clouds, silver lightning sparkled like a huge dragon as it squirmed, emitting a frightening pressure of the heavens and earth.
"Boom!"
As the lightning clouds squirmed, an incomparably huge lightning bolt suddenly pierced through the layers of clouds and abruptly descended. However, this lightning bolt did not descend towards Ji Xuan. Instead, it violently rumbled down towards Mu Chen.
Bang!
Boundless lightning heavily smashed against Mu Chen's body. However, not a single lightning glow leaked out, as all of it was absorbed by Mu Chen's body.
Sizzle.
The black lightning liquid on the surface of Mu Chen's body started to solidify bit by bit. In a short span of a few breaths, a set of black lightning armour with an exceedingly sinister appearance appeared on Mu Chen's body. Under the cover of the lightning armour, Mu Chen's body seemed to have expanded by several times, transforming into a lightning giant.
The fluctuations radiating from Mu Chen's body grew increasingly terrifying.
"A single move is enough to deal with you."
Under the black lightning armour, a pair of eyes that flickered with lightning locked onto Ji Xuan. A rumbling sound resonated throughout the heavens and earth as Mu Chen took a step forth. In the next instant, he had already mysteriously appeared above Ji Xuan and threw a fist forth. There weren't any fancy moves in that fist, only pure and extremely violent power.
In that instant, lightning danced in the sky as torrential Spiritual Energy whistled out from the blood-red Sovereign Sea and poured into Mu Chen's arm.
The Ennea Rune Lightning Physique and the power of the Sovereign Sea were all gathered at this moment and turned into a simple fist.
Boom!
A fist flew forth, causing space to shatter.
That fist instantly caused Ji Xuan's face to drastically change. Even the Deans of the Spiritual Academies up in the sky had their expressions turn extremely grave. That fist of Mu Chen actually possessed the might of a genuine Sovereign Realm expert!
