The Great Ruler - Chapter823

The Perfect Butchering Demonic Lotus Spiritual Array was activated.

As this soft voice flowed out from Mu Chen's heart, the four black lotuses floating quietly in the sky finally bloomed at this moment. A pitch-black ink-like light spread out, silently emitting a fluctuation that caused one's heart to palpitate.

Anyone could sense the terrifying power contained within the four black lotuses.

This was Mu Chen's final killing move.

The perfect form of the Butchering Demonic Lotus Spirit Formation was a formation of four lotuses. However, Mu Chen was unable to successfully condense four black lotuses due to the limitations of his strength.

But now, along with Mu Chen's continuous breakthroughs, his attainments in Spiritual Arrays had also deepened. Although he rarely revealed his identity as a Spiritual Array Master ever since he came to the Great Heaven Domain, he had never slacked in his cultivation of Spiritual Arrays. As his strength improved, his attainments in Spiritual Arrays also grew stronger.

This was something that he had hidden very well. Even Jiu You and Mandala did not know about it. Unknowingly, Mu Chen's attainments in Spiritual Arrays had already reached an astonishing level.

This perfect Butchering Demonic Lotus Spiritual Array was an Earth Grade Spiritual Array. Some of the more powerful Spiritual Arrays of this level were something that even Fifth Grade Sovereigns wouldn't dare to face head-on. As for high-grade Earth Grade Spiritual Arrays, they could even confront Sixth Grade Sovereigns!

Spirit Array Grandmasters were divided into three grades: Heaven, Earth, and Human. Originally, with Mu Chen's attainments in Spirit Arrays, he should be considered a High Human Grade Spirit Array Master. However, the success rate of setting up a perfect Butchering Demonic Lotus Spirit Array was extremely low.

However, following Mu Chen's breakthrough to Grade Four Supremacy, the Spiritual Energy in his body grew stronger once again.

It also became stronger.

Therefore, with the help of the strange Lesser Devil State, he was able to successfully set up the perfect Butchering Demonic Lotus Spirit Array, which was an Earth grade spirit array!

…

When the four black lotuses appeared, Mu Chen could clearly feel the sudden silence. Around the King's Ceremony Stage, countless experts were dumbfounded. Even the various kings were shocked. Clearly, this was out of their expectations.

It wasn't that they didn't know that Mu Chen was a Spirit Array Master.

After all, Mu Chen had also set up a Spiritual Array in front of them before. But at that time, Mu Chen's attainments in Spiritual Arrays were clearly nothing to be afraid of.

However, right now …

The Spiritual Array formed by the four black lotuses before them caused even them to feel a trace of danger. Thus, their expressions changed.

His expression turned solemn.

Mu Chen's strength as a Fourth Grade Sovereign might not be enough to make them feel fearful.

However, with the addition of his identity as an Earth-Grade Spiritual Formation Grandmaster, even the kings would not dare to underestimate him in the slightest.

"Impossible!"

Just when Qiu Taiyin exclaimed in rage, Mu Chen's slender finger had already gently tapped down. His pale face was as calm as still water.

Buzz!

The four black lotuses bloomed and tilted.

They were aimed at the massive Great Yin Celestial Body and a pitch-black lustre condensed at the heart of the flower.

In the end, the black lotuses trembled and four pillars of ink-black light silently shot out.

The surface of the pillars of black light seemed to be filled with ancient runes, looking mysterious and unfathomable.

The pitch-black light pillars streaked through the sky without causing any shocking commotion. However, four pitch-black scars were torn in space and did not dissipate for a long time.

"Great Yin Shield!"

The hair on Qiu Taiyin's body stood up as his face turned ashen. He quickly formed seals with his hands and the Spiritual Energy in his body burst out without any restraint. Black runes flickered on the surface of the Great Yin Celestial Body, forming into a massive black ice shield before him.

Whoosh!

The four black beams of light quietly flew over and heavily slammed against the black ice shield under countless nervous gazes. Whoosh!

Whoosh!

At the moment of collision, there wasn't any loud sound. Countless people's pupils abruptly shrunk at this moment. That's because the black ice shield, which seemed to possess a powerful defensive ability, wasn't able to block the attack at all.

It was as if ice had encountered magma. It had instantly melted and pierced through.

Qiu Taiyin looked at the four strange black beams of light that had penetrated the ice shield in an instant and shock finally surged on his face. However, before he could react, the chilling black beams of light had already penetrated through space and ruthlessly slammed against the massive body of the Great Yin Celestial Body under his somewhat horrified gaze.

As the pitch-black light pillar entered the Great Yin Celestial Body, black patterns started to spread out at a shocking speed. In the end, they swiftly enveloped the entire body of the Great Yin Celestial Body.

When the black runes spread out, Qiu Taiyin's face drastically changed. He could sense that the massive Spiritual Energy of the Great Yin Celestial Body was swiftly dissipating from the places where the black runes spread out.

No matter how he tried to stop it, it was futile.

"How is this possible?!"

Qiu Taiyin roared in his heart. However, his roar was clearly useless. In just ten-odd breaths' time, everyone could see that the chilling energy around the Great Yin Celestial Body was getting thinner and thinner. It was a sign that the Spiritual Energy could no longer maintain the Sovereign Celestial Body.

As the Spiritual Energy of the Sovereign Celestial Body dissipated, Qiu Taiyin's face turned even paler. The Sovereign Celestial Body was linked to his main body. Therefore, the dissipation of the Spiritual Energy of the Sovereign Celestial Body was a great blow to him.

A feeling of weakness spread out from Qiu Taiyin's body as his face turned pale. Clearly, he did not expect that the attack of Mu Chen's Spiritual Array would be so bizarre. Although the black beams of light didn't seem to have any destructive power, the bizarre ability to dissipate Spiritual Energy could be said to be fatal.

Boom!

The Great Yin Celestial Body grew thinner and finally, it could no longer maintain its form. With a bang, it exploded into pitch-black lights under countless shocked gazes.

Poof.

When the Sovereign Celestial Body shattered, Qiu Taiyin's body violently trembled.

He spurted a mouthful of blood as the Spiritual Energy ripples around his body weakened to the extreme.

Up in the sky, Mu Chen indifferently looked at Qiu Taiyin, whose face was as pale as a sheet of paper.

Shortly after, his hand seals changed and the four black lotuses revolved once again, locking onto the latter as a pitch-black light blossomed once again.

At the sight of this, Qiu Taiyin's face was filled with shock. He clearly did not expect that Mu Chen would still be able to execute such a terrifying attack.

Right now, his Sovereign Celestial Body had already been destroyed. If his main body was struck again, it would definitely be heavily injured.

Immediately, he roared, "Mu Chen, are you trying to kill me?!"

Mu Chen paid no attention to him as a dark light swiftly gathered at the heart of the black lotuses.

"Bastard!

I admit defeat! "When Qiu Taiyin saw Mu Chen, killing intent surged in his heart.

Immediately, he started to panic in his heart as he immediately roared.

Hearing that Qiu Taiyin had admitted defeat, a torrential uproar broke out in this region as countless experts exchanged looks and shook their heads. Clearly, no one expected that Qiu Taiyin, who initially had the victory in his grasp, would actually admit defeat.

When Mu Chen heard Qiu Taiyin's words, he faintly smiled.

With a faint smile, his long black hair swiftly returned to its original state.

His pitch-black eyes had also returned to normal. As Mu Chen exited the Lesser Demon Heart State, the expression on his face turned lively.

"Then, I have to thank Sect Master Qiu for letting me win."

Mu Chen smiled with a pale face. The smile hanging on the corner of his lips contained a hint of ridicule. As his voice rang out, the four black lotuses disappeared and Mu Chen's eyes dimmed. Anyone could tell that Mu Chen was already at the end of his rope at this moment.

Previously, when he wanted to kill Qiu Taiyin, it was actually an act!

Countless experts were dumbfounded as a weird smile uncontrollably appeared on their faces. They looked at Qiu Taiyin, whose body was trembling from anger, with pity in their eyes. This fellow was actually made a fool of by Mu Chen.

Judging from Qiu Taiyin's current situation, although his Spiritual Energy was exhausted, he still had the strength to continue fighting. On the contrary, Mu Chen was already at the end of his rope. Thus, if they were to continue fighting, Mu Chen would have no choice but to admit defeat.

After all, he had just stepped into the Fourth Grade Sovereign Realm, and the Spiritual Energy in his body had yet to stabilize. Thus, in terms of endurance, he was naturally inferior to Qiu Taiyin.

However, no one expected that Mu Chen, who was at the end of his rope, would use such a move to scare Qiu Taiyin to the point of admitting defeat.

Countless experts exchanged a look as they shook their heads and sighed. Mu Chen was simply too cunning!

Low laughter resounded in the plaza as Qiu Taiyin trembled as he stared at Mu Chen. When those laughter fell into his ears, it nearly caused him to explode from anger. He could imagine how great of a blow it would be to his reputation after today's matter spread out.

"Little bastard, you deserve to die!"

Qiu Taiyin's eyes turned red as the rage in his heart overwhelmed his rationale. He roared as he clenched his fist, and a milky-white jade strip appeared in his hand. The jade strip was engraved with extremely complicated runes. Vaguely, there seemed to be a violent Spiritual Energy fluctuation emanating from it.

Whoosh!

With a savage expression, Qiu Taiyin's arm trembled as the milky-white jade strip shot out and exploded. Violent Spiritual Energy wreaked havoc as it turned into a Spiritual Energy Lion that bared its fangs and brandished its claws as it charged towards Mu Chen.

The Spiritual Energy Lion was emanating terrifying Spiritual Energy fluctuations that even caused the faces of the various Kings to change.

"Mysterious Sky Lion Seal?!"

A light burst out from the eyes of the three Emperors as their faces instantly turned cold. The Mysterious Sky Lion Seal was the Absolute Art of the Sky Profound Palace, and only the core members of the Sky Profound Palace were qualified to possess it.

The massive Spiritual Energy Lion had directly appeared before Mu Chen. Under the terrifying Spiritual Energy pressure, Mu Chen was as tiny as an ant. Thereafter, the lion ferociously bit down. Under that sort of bite, even a Fifth Grade Sovereign would undoubtedly die!

At this moment, Mu Chen, who was on the verge of death, could only watch as the ferocious mouth of the Spiritual Energy Lion rapidly expanded in his eyes.

Boom!

However, just when the Spiritual Energy Lion's mouth was about to come in contact with Mu Chen's body, the exclamations between the heavens and earth suddenly disappeared and the entire space turned silent.

In the next instant, Mu Chen sensed the furious lion that was pouncing towards him suddenly freeze. At this moment, his tensed heart finally relaxed. That's because, in front of him, a petite figure was slowly appearing.
