White clouds drifted in the azure sky. When the two silhouettes faced each other in the sky, the boundless Spiritual Energy that soared into the sky instantly caused the weather in this region to change. The layers of clouds in the sky were instantly torn apart.
Countless gazes were fixed onto the two silhouettes facing each other in the sky.
Even further away, there were countless streaks of light flying over. They must have received the news of the battle between the Overlord of the Dragon-Phoenix Record and the super dark horse.
Many people were extremely interested in this showdown.
Up in the sky, Fang Yi's white clothes fluttered as his black hair fluttered in the wind, looking extremely elegant. He first cast an indifferent glance at those silhouettes that were constantly making their way over, before turning to Mu Chen. "You've been in the limelight recently in the Northern Region."
"It's all thanks to you guys." Mu Chen smiled.
Facing Mu Chen's teasing words, Fang Yi wasn't moved and smiled. "You're welcome. Since you know that it's all thanks to us, then I'll take it away."
"Since I can make your name rise, I can naturally make you nameless once again."
"Really?"
Mu Chen shrugged his shoulders as he looked at Fang Yi and smiled. "Then I'm looking forward to it. But I have to give you a piece of advice. Don't go overboard. If you lose your position as the Overlord of the Dragon-Phoenix Record, you won't even have time to cry."
"Then, you have to have the ability to do so."
Fang Yi's expression did not change, but there was a chill swiftly surging in his eyes around his body.
Boundless Spiritual Energy started to wreak havoc like a storm.
Mu Chen could sense the Spiritual Energy pressure that was being emitted from Fang Yi's body.
His gaze slightly narrowed. Although he did not cower from his words, he knew in his heart that Fang Yi was an extremely tough enemy to deal with.
Judging from the massive Spiritual Energy pressure around the latter, he had clearly stabilised his cultivation in the Fifth Grade Sovereign Realm.
Compared to Qiu Taiyin, he was much stronger.
This battle would definitely be a fierce one!
As the Spiritual Energy around the two of them began to condense, more and more people were attracted to this region.
They looked at the two figures in the sky from afar as whispers rang out.
"Haha, this fight is interesting. A fight between the overlord of the Northern Region Dragon-Phoenix Record and a super dark horse.
I wonder who will have the last laugh. "
"I think Fang Yi has a higher chance of winning.
After all, he is a Fifth Grade Sovereign, while Mu Chen is only a Fourth Grade Sovereign. "
"You can't put it that way. Mu Chen's true strength is much stronger than what he has shown on the surface. It's said that during the King's Ceremony of the Great Heaven Domain, Qiu Taiyin had also stepped into the Fifth Grade Sovereign Realm, but he was still defeated by Mu Chen."
"Qiu Taiyin has only just stepped into the fifth-grade Supreme Martial Artist realm.
How can he be compared to Fang Yi? "
"If Mu Chen fails this time, it will be a good way to dampen his spirit.
That brat has been in the limelight recently, so it's time to suppress him a little and let him understand that it's better to be low-profile in a place like the Northern Region. "
"…"
Whispers rang out in this region. But for the matter of the two's chances of victory, most people were leaning towards Fang Yi. After all, no matter how ferocious Mu Chen's recent rise was, he was still lacking when compared to a veteran Overlord on the Dragon-Phoenix Record like Fang Yi.
Most importantly, Mu Chen was only a Fourth Grade Sovereign right now, while Fang Yi had already stepped into the Fifth Grade Sovereign Realm.
Although everyone was clear about Mu Chen's achievements and knew that his true strength was much stronger than what he had shown on the surface, even ordinary Fifth Grade Sovereigns would have a hard time dealing with him. However … Fang Yi clearly wasn't an ordinary Fifth Grade Sovereign.
As one of the younger generations that was heavily nurtured by the Divine Pavilion, no one could guess his trump cards.
In the valley, the Blood Hawk King, Wu Tian and the rest, who were surrounded by the Skycroc Troop, raised their heads to look at the two of them in the sky. Their gazes were a little grave. Although they had personally witnessed the strength that Mu Chen had displayed during the King's Ceremony, they were clear about how powerful Fang Yi was.
A person that could occupy the first position on the Dragon-Phoenix Record for so many years definitely wouldn't be simple.
"If Mu Chen can retreat unscathed this time, his reputation amongst the younger generations of the Northern Region will be unshakable."
The Blood Hawk King slowly said. Recently, Mu Chen's rise in the Northern Region was too swift, but it had also brought about countless doubts. Take the Dragon-Phoenix Haven for example. Many people had felt that Mu Chen's achievements were due to the help of Emperor Yan's daughter. Therefore, there were still some criticisms about him being able to obtain the third position on the Dragon-Phoenix Record.
But this battle was sufficient to stabilise his reputation.
Naturally, there was also a considerable risk involved. If he suffered a crushing defeat in the hands of Fang Yi, perhaps his status as a super dark horse would be forcefully broken. His path forward would also suffer a great setback.
In the brutal Northern Region, no one would remember a loser.
Boom!
Boundless Spiritual Energy whistled around Fang Yi like an ocean. The Spiritual Energy was like lightning, emitting deep rumbling noises that caused the entire sky to violently fluctuate.
Standing before him, Mu Chen's expression had also gradually turned grave. Back in the Dragon-Phoenix Haven, he had only seen Fang Yi being forced into a pathetic state by Cai Xiao. But only when he stood before Fang Yi did he understand the pressure coming from the latter.
This person was a formidable opponent.
"It's a little too late to regret it now. Sometimes, people have to pay a price for their arrogance." Fang Yi looked down at Mu Chen as he coldly said.
Mu Chen lightly curled his lips, but he couldn't be bothered with him. He abruptly clenched his fist and the Great Meru Demonic Pillar appeared in his hand, along with a torrential ominous aura. Stomping his feet on the sky, his figure turned into a streak of light as he burst forth.
Boom!
In just an instant, the Great Meru Demonic Pillar, along with a massive shadow and terrifying power, slammed down towards Fang Yi without any leniency!
Without any expression on his face, Fang Yi's palm suddenly surged with a golden light as he slammed his palm against the Great Meru Demonic Pillar.
Boom!
Metallic sounds exploded across the horizon as energy ripples visible to the naked eye swept out. Under the impact of the energy ripples, Mu Chen's figure was sent flying back, while the Great Meru Demonic Pillar in his hand rushed towards the sky.
"You will suffer greatly if you compare me to those ordinary Fifth Grade Sovereigns that you have dealt with in the past."
Fang Yi indifferently looked at this scene as he took a step forth and appeared above the Great Meru Demonic Pillar, before slamming his palm down.
"Here you go!"
Boundless Spiritual Energy burst out as the Great Meru Demonic Pillar turned into a black shadow, along with ear-piercing sonic booms as it shot towards Mu Chen. Even ordinary Fifth Grade Sovereigns wouldn't dare to face the might of the impact.
"Hmph!"
At the sight of this, Mu Chen coldly snorted in his heart. Fang Yi was truly cunning to actually use the Great Meru Demonic Pillar to attack him. Facing such an attack, if Mu Chen chose to dodge, it would undoubtedly weaken his momentum, allowing Fang Yi to seize the initiative. If he were to receive it head-on, it would be something that Fang Yi would be happy to see. That's because he would be able to use his powerful Spiritual Energy to suppress Mu Chen.
Every single gaze in this region was fixed onto Mu Chen at this moment.
"It's not your turn to use my things!"
Under the innumerable gazes, Mu Chen's face turned cold as he swiftly formed seals with both of his hands. Instantly, a golden light shot out from his chest, along with a terrifying and imposing ancient dragon roar that resounded in this region.
As the golden light surged, the Spirit of the True Dragon appeared on Mu Chen's right arm like a dragon rune. The dragon claw of the Spirit of the True Dragon covered Mu Chen's right palm, perfectly fusing with his five fingers.
A golden light surged in Mu Chen's eyes as his right arm seemed to have swelled up by a fold. Veins wriggled under his skin like dragons. He felt as if there was a huge dragon hidden in his right arm that was baring its fangs and brandishing its claws!
Along with the rise of Mu Chen's strength, he was also gradually developing the power of the Dragon-Phoenix Physique!
"Boom!"
The Great Meru Demonic Pillar descended from the sky like a mountain, enveloped in a powerful and violent Spiritual Energy. It was Fang Yi's Spiritual Energy, which had temporarily enveloped the Great Meru Demonic Pillar, isolating it from Mu Chen's control.
Right now, the Great Meru Demonic Pillar clearly did not recognise its owner, Mu Chen.
Under the innumerable gazes in this region, Mu Chen's silhouette did not move as he raised his head to look at the demonic pillar that was swiftly expanding in his eyes. In the end, he deeply inhaled a mouthful of air, before he slowly threw a fist out under the numerous shocked gazes and threw a punch at the demonic pillar.
Boom!
That punch did not have any fancy moves, but the power contained in it had caused the surrounding space to crack in an instant, leaving cracks that could be seen with the naked eye.
Boom!
The metallic sound was like a clap of thunder as it rumbled in this region, causing the blood and aura in the bodies of countless experts to roll as their gazes were fixed on the sky.
In that direction, Mu Chen maintained the posture of punching out. Above him, the Great Meru Demonic Pillar had stopped moving. The tyrannical power that it carried was completely withstood at this moment.
Everyone could clearly see that the golden Spiritual Energy that Fang Yi had enveloped on the Great Meru Demonic Pillar had been completely shattered by Mu Chen's punch.
Countless experts had startled expressions as they were clearly shocked by the power of Mu Chen's punch.
Under the innumerable gazes in this region, Mu Chen's figure moved as he landed on the Great Meru Demonic Pillar. His black pupils seemed to contain the roar of an enraged dragon as he swept an indescribable pressure towards Fang Yi, who had a slightly dark expression on his face.
"Next time, I advise you not to touch the belongings of others, in case you end up humiliating yourself." Standing on the Great Meru Demonic Pillar, Mu Chen's sharp gaze shot towards Fang Yi as he sneered.
Fang Yi slightly narrowed his eyes as he lightly nodded his head.
"Then, let us see exactly who will be the one to humiliate himself today!"
