Sinister cracks spread out from the pitch-black plaza like a huge python. The eyelids of many people that were watching this scene couldn't help twitching.
Some experts that had some understanding of Luo Mang had grave expressions. That's because this was the first time they had seen Luo Mang being suppressed into a disadvantageous position when competing with a youth whose cultivation was only at First Grade Sovereign.
This newly appointed Commander of the Jiu You Palace was indeed not someone easy to deal with.
At the other end of the crack, the black-clothed youth maintained the posture of throwing a punch. His body flickered with golden light, as if his body was forged from gold, emitting an indescribable feeling of power.
The faces of many City Lords couldn't help changing at this moment. They must have felt disbelief at the fact that Mu Chen could send Luo Mang flying with a single punch with his physical body.
Under the countless gazes, Mu Chen slowly retracted his fist. His pupils, which were flickering with golden light, were rather calm. He lowered his head to look at his fist and lightly frowned his brows.
Since Luo Mang could become the City Lord of the Demonic Python City and become the leader of so many City Lords, he did indeed possess extraordinary capabilities. In the previous clash, it was the first time that Mu Chen realised that he still couldn't suppress Luo Mang even after pushing his Lightning God's Physique to the limits.
Ever since Mu Chen started cultivating the Lightning God's Physique, he had relied on his powerful physical body to obtain an advantage in battles against opponents of the same level. It was so much so that he wasn't in a disadvantageous position even when facing those that were stronger than him.
However, the effect of the Lightning God's Physique wasn't as obvious as Mu Chen had imagined. Clearly, the Divine Body Refining Art that Luo Mang had cultivated wasn't any weaker than the Lightning God's Physique.
"Looks like there's a need for me to cultivate an even more powerful Divine Body Refining Art."
A thought flashed across Mu Chen's heart. Along with the rapid rise of his strength, the Lightning God's Physique, which had always been invincible, was gradually unable to keep up.
The greatest wealth that Mu Chen had gained from cultivating the Thunder God's Body wasn't the strength of his physical body that the Thunder God's Body bestowed upon him. Instead, during the process of cultivation, the power of lightning had tempered Mu Chen's physical body to the deepest level.
This laid an incomparably solid foundation for Mu Chen's physical body.
No matter what body refinement divine technique he cultivated in the future, he would be able to obtain twice the results with half the effort, and this was something that other body refinement divine techniques were obviously unable to compare to. After all, no matter what, the Lightning God's Physique was something that even the Northern Sea Dragon praised.
"Bang!"
Just as this thought flashed across Mu Chen's mind, shattered rocks suddenly shot out from the other side of the crack, before violent Spiritual Energy swept out.
Then, Luo Mang's figure reappeared.
At this moment, the clothes on his upper body had already been torn to shreds, revealing his rock-hard body.
On his body, there was a pitch-black python tattoo that coiled around his body. Within the pitch-black colour, there was an eerie feeling being emitted from it.
At this moment, Luo Mang's face was extremely dark as he fixed his eyes on Mu Chen and eerily said, "Truly worthy of being the Commander of the Jiu You Palace.
You merely possess the strength of a First Grade Sovereign, yet possess such a powerful physical body. "
Mu Chen faintly smiled.
"However …" Luo Mang's voice paused as his gaze turned cold, "Today, if you want us to pledge allegiance to the Jiu You Palace, my Demonic Python City will be the first to not agree to it!"
When his words rang out, it had undoubtedly caused an uproar. From the looks of it, Mu Chen had indeed angered Luo Mang.
At this moment, he didn't even bother to say anything to delay, but had directly rejected.
However, in response to his words, Mu Chen's golden pupils were rather calm. Clearly, he wasn't surprised by this.
He cast a glance at Luo Mang and said, "Then, I will also clearly tell you that you have already been stripped of your position as the City Lord of the Demonic Python City. Therefore, you no longer have the qualifications to represent the Demonic Python City."
"Shameless boasting!"
Luo Mang furiously smiled as killing intent surged in his eyes. From the looks of it, he had already raised his killing intent towards Mu Chen. He never thought that the latter would be so ruthless. Not only did he want to take back the Demonic Python City, he even wanted to strip him of his position as the City Lord.
Luo Mang heavily stomped his feet, causing the ground beneath his feet to crack. An incomparably violent Spiritual Energy swept out like a storm as a pitch-black giant figure slowly formed around his body.
Black light flowed on the giant figure, as if there was a huge demonic python coiling around it. The sharp hissing noises caused the Spiritual Energy between the heavens and earth to tremble.
The giant figure coiling around the Demonic Python stood in this region as its pair of cold snake pupils fixed onto Mu Chen. A hissing voice resounded, "I'll see what qualifications you have to strip me of my position today!"
"That's the Demonic Python Celestial Body?
It's said that Luo Mang had once killed a heavily injured Sky Demonic Python, devoured its blood essence and integrated it into his own body, which allowed him to refine this Demonic Python Celestial Body. Although this Demonic Python Celestial Body isn't amongst the 99 Rankings of Sovereign Celestial Bodies, its might can be ranked amongst them. "
When everyone saw the Demonic Python coiling around the Demonic Python Celestial Body, an uproar instantly rang out.
Some people couldn't help exclaiming. After all, Luo Mang's cultivation method was extremely dangerous. When two different types of blood were mixed together, they would definitely reject each other. If he wasn't careful, he might even explode. However, it looked like Luo Mang did have some luck and actually managed to endure it and refine the Demonic Python Celestial Body.
"You do have some ability."
Mu Chen raised his head and looked at the giant figure coiling around the Demonic Python as a smear of astonishment flashed across his eyes. This Luo Mang did have some ability to refine such a weird Sovereign Celestial Body.
"Trying to use the Sovereign Celestial Body to redeem your face?"
Mu Chen lightly smiled. However, there wasn't any warmth in his smile as he placed his palms together and slowly formed a bizarre seal.
"Then, I'll let you know that you're not good enough in terms of physical strength, but in terms of Sovereign Celestial Bodies …"
"You're even worse!"
When he finished his last sentence, a dazzling golden light suddenly burst out in every direction. A giant golden figure that brought along a dreadful pressure instantly appeared in this region.
The giant figure stood in this region with a sun hovering behind its head. Dazzling golden light spread out from every corner of its body, making it look like a golden buddha that was incomparably majestic. Boom!
Boom!
Along with the appearance of the Sovereign Celestial Body, the surrounding Spiritual Energy instantly surged out like a tidal wave. The golden Sovereign Celestial Body was reflected in everyone's eyes, causing waves of astonishment.
"Trying to act mysterious!"
Luo Mang roared. Although he felt disbelief in his heart from the pressure being emitted by Mu Chen's Sovereign Celestial Body, if he were to cower at this moment …
It would be extremely difficult for him to turn the situation around.
"Demonic Python Seal!"
Luo Mang did not dare to give Mu Chen any more time to display his deterrent power. With a roar, a pitch-black light soared into the sky as the massive Demonic Python that was coiling around his body flew out.
As the massive body coiled, it was like a Demonic Python Light Seal as it pressed down towards the Sovereign Celestial Body that seemed to be forged from gold.
Mu Chen's gaze was indifferent as he looked at the Demonic Python Light Seal that was pressing down. However, he did not show any signs of dodging as the huge golden palm stretched out.
Golden light burst out from the palm like a golden blazing sun.
Boom!
The huge golden palm penetrated through the obstruction of the violent Spiritual Energy and ruthlessly grabbed onto the massive body of the Demonic Python. Dazzling golden light swept out, completely suppressing the pitch-black light.
"A rotten snake dares to spout nonsense?!"
Mu Chen's robust voice resounded between the heavens and earth.
Shortly after, a palm abruptly slammed down as the Demonic Python shrieked as it fell. The huge golden palm was like a golden mountain as it heavily pressed down on its massive body.
Boom!
The earth cracked.
The Demonic Python shrieked as it was heavily smashed into the ground by the palm, shattering into pieces!
Hiss!
Countless people in the surroundings inhaled a mouthful of chilled air in their hearts. Who could have imagined that Luo Mang's ferocious attack would be shattered by a palm from Mu Chen?
That fellow had cultivated a Sovereign Celestial Body.
How could it be so powerful?!
When the Demonic Python shattered, the Sovereign Celestial Body that was formed by Luo Mang violently trembled as disbelief surged in his heart. Previously, when he clashed with his physical body, he could at least maintain it. But now that he had summoned his Sovereign Celestial Body …
But why was he so thoroughly defeated after summoning his Sovereign Celestial Body?
"Damn it, just what Sovereign Celestial Body did that bastard cultivate? It's actually so powerful!" Luo Mang's face was extremely dark as he couldn't help roaring in his heart.
"Now, I'll let you see my qualifications!"
After shattering the Demonic Python light seal with a palm, Mu Chen's golden eyes looked at Luo Mang.
The massive figure soared into the sky as a dazzling golden light was emitted. Within a hundred mile radius, it could be clearly seen.
Extremely violent Spiritual Energy ripples exploded in the sky like golden meteorites falling.
Luo Mang's face was unsightly as he looked at the golden light that had spread across the horizon. Shortly after, he abruptly looked at the City Lords of the Blood Vulture City and Black Rock City as he roared, "The two of you, attack together with me!"
The Blood Vulture City Lord and Black Rock City Lord exchanged a look. Shortly after, they could only clench their teeth as they stomped their feet and soared into the sky as well.
"Buzz!"
Just when the two of them soared into the sky, a peculiar Spiritual Energy fluctuation suddenly spread out. Countless people narrowed their eyes as they saw six black lotuses descending from the sky. They turned into two huge black beams of light as they fell like meteors and heavily slammed against the bodies of the two City Lords.
Terrifying Spiritual Energy wreaked havoc as the two City Lords, who were about to attack, were forced back to the ground.
"Boom!"
The golden meteors also descended at this moment as the Sovereign Celestial Body descended from the sky. A huge golden hand was like a golden sun as it pressed down.
It was aimed at Luo Mang.
A terrifying pressure enveloped over as the ground below started to crack. Luo Mang's face drastically changed at this moment. Clearly, he had sensed how terrifying this attack from Mu Chen was.
"It's not that easy to defeat me!"
Luo Mang roared with a savage expression as he raised both of his palms up high. The Spiritual Energy in his body burst out without any restraint. The pitch-black Spiritual Energy was like ink, causing the sky to darken as a violent gale blew between the heavens and earth.
His Sovereign Celestial Body wasn't as powerful as Mu Chen's. However, he was, after all, a pinnacle Second Grade Sovereign. Relying on his Spiritual Energy that far exceeded Mu Chen's, he wasn't afraid of the other party's clash.
At most, both sides would suffer!
As long as he could dampen Mu Chen's drive, the matter of him pledging his allegiance today would be left unsettled!
Boom!
As the golden sun descended, it violently clashed with the pitch-black Spiritual Energy that was like a monstrous demonic python under countless astonished gazes.
Everyone's eyes abruptly widened at this moment. This fist was probably enough to determine the victor!
