Up in the horizon, Mu Chen's silhouette was like a cannonball as he flew out. As he flew out, a dark purple lustre spread out from his back, vaguely forming into a huge and mysterious bewitching flower behind him.
The flower slowly blossomed with ancient patterns covering its petals. As it wiggled, even the heavens and earth seemed to have dimmed as a mysterious energy was quietly being emitted.
All the experts felt a strong sense of danger at this moment. They looked at the mysterious and enchanting flower behind Mu Chen in shock.
"Why does this kid have so many tricks up his sleeve?!"
Xu Ba's face was ashen as he watched this scene. His eyes became exceptionally grave at this moment because he could naturally tell that the Divine Art that Mu Chen was using was even stronger than the Nine Dragons and Elephants Art from before!
Moreover, the Nine Dragons and Elephants Art was already a Quasi-Great Perfection Divine Art. Didn't that mean that this guy had mastered a true Great Perfection Divine Art?!
Facing this reality, even Xu Ba's eyelids couldn't help twitching. That's because he knew how precious and rare a Perfect Rank Divine Art was. Even in their Divine Pavilion, it could be considered as a top-tiered Divine Art. Even with his status, it wasn't easy for him to obtain such a Divine Art.
Most importantly, a Divine Art at the Great Perfection level wasn't something that could be successfully cultivated as long as one obtained it. This was because it had extremely strict requirements for the cultivator to successfully cultivate it.
But it wasn't easy.
Therefore, when Xu Ba saw that Mu Chen actually had a Great Perfection level divine art and was able to successfully cultivate it, even he was shocked.
A trace of jealousy involuntarily surged in his heart.
While everyone was shocked by the mysterious flower that appeared behind Mu Chen, Mu Chen stuck out his tongue and licked the blood at the corner of his mouth. His deep black eyes were emotionless as he looked at Fang Yi, whose expression had also changed drastically.
Without any hesitation, Mu Chen instantly formed a seal with both of his hands. Instantly, the enchanting and mysterious Datura flower behind him bloomed.
The black hole-like heart of the flower was aimed in Fang Yi's direction.
Whoosh!
Fang Yi's face was livid.
His figure had turned into numerous afterimages as he retreated. He could sense how powerful Mu Chen's attack was. Facing such an attack, even he couldn't withstand it.
It was also best for him to choose to temporarily avoid the sharp edge.
Fang Yi had seen Mu Chen's mysterious attack in the Dragon-Phoenix Haven. Back then, the Netherworld Prince's ultimate move had been blocked by Mu Chen's attack. Therefore, Fang Yi was well aware of its power.
Furthermore, the current Mu Chen was clearly much stronger than when he fought with the Netherworld Prince in the Dragon-Phoenix Haven. The power of the same move was much stronger than before.
It was obvious that it was several times stronger than before.
Buzz!
Buzz! Mu Chen indifferently looked at Fang Yi, who was retreating, before he slowly closed his eyes.
His cold voice flowed out from his heart, along with a dense killing intent.
"Datura Sky Annihilation Light!"
Mu Chen's slender finger slowly stretched out and gently pressed down. In that instant when his finger pressed down, the space beneath his finger was as fragile as glass.
Cracks that could be seen with the naked eye started to crack.
Boom!
At this moment, the bewitching Mandara Flower behind her had also completely bloomed. In the next instant, a figure appeared.
In the next instant, the heart of the flower trembled and a dark purple beam of light abruptly gushed out.
When the dark purple beam of light streaked across the horizon, the entire heavens and earth seemed to have turned dark at this moment. It was as if all the light had been devoured by the dark purple beam of light, which was extremely bizarre.
The speed of the dark purple beam of light was indescribable. It was like a snake that was slithering through space. In its path, space shattered, as if it had disregarded the distance of space.
In just a short instant, the dark purple beam of light that was filled with destructive fluctuations had appeared before Fang Yi.
Fang Yi's face had also turned grave at this moment. He took a deep breath and his seals abruptly changed. Torrential Spiritual Energy swept out and formed into a star diagram that was roughly a thousand feet in size.
"Circulatory Star Diagram!"
As the star diagram spread out, it was profound and cryptic, filled with powerful Spiritual Energy fluctuations.
Boom!
The dark purple beam of light rushed over without hesitation, and under countless shocked gazes, it fiercely collided with the Star Map.
Crack!
In that instant of contact, cracks had appeared on the star diagram, which seemed to be powerful. Shortly after, the cracks swiftly spread out and in just a few breaths' time, they had already covered the entire star diagram.
Boom!
When the cracks had completely spread out, the star diagram had shattered as expected, turning into dazzling lights that were extremely gorgeous.
Whoosh!
The destructive light beam did not lose its momentum as it penetrated through the specks of light that blotted the sky and ruthlessly smashed against the blurry figure hidden within. Instantly, the sky seemed to have collapsed at this moment.
Countless experts had drastic changes in their faces. Even if Fang Yi had the strength of a pinnacle Fifth Grade Sovereign, he would definitely be heavily injured from such a terrifying attack.
"So powerful."
In the valley, Wu Tian's face was filled with shock as he watched this scene. Shortly after, he looked at the slender silhouette with great difficulty. Although he had witnessed Mu Chen's strength during the King's Ceremony, he still found it hard to imagine that Mu Chen could actually force a pinnacle Fifth Grade Sovereign expert to such an extent.
One must know that a year ago, when Mu Chen had just arrived in the Great Heaven Domain, he was just a brat that hadn't even stabilised his cultivation in the Sovereign Realm. But right now, even when facing an overlord amongst the younger generations of the Northern Region, he was actually fearless.
This improvement caused even the prideful Wu Tian to be speechless.
Every single gaze in this region was gathered onto the dazzling lights that filled the sky.
Jiu You, Xu Ba and the Blood Hawk King were silent.
However, their sharp gazes were constantly looking at the sky that was filled with violent Spiritual Energy fluctuations.
Mu Chen stood in the sky as he wiped the blood off the corner of his lips.
His pupils that were like black holes were also looking at the light. There wasn't any commotion coming from that direction, as if the silhouette had already disappeared.
Was Fang Yi killed?
Mu Chen slightly narrowed his eyes, but in the next instant, his pupils abruptly contracted.
Boom!
In that instant when Mu Chen narrowed his eyes, the sparkles of light that blotted the sky in the distance suddenly exploded.
As the light rippled, a massive silhouette had burst out from the light that filled the sky.
With a step, it had appeared before Mu Chen and heavily slammed its palm down like a mountain.
Such an attack.
It was extremely sudden. Even if Mu Chen had entered the Lesser Demon Heart State, he was still caught unprepared. But when the palm descended, a golden light flickered on his body and the Dragon-Phoenix Golden Armour appeared in a flash.
Boom!
The huge palm was akin to a mountain as it slammed down, causing space to fluctuate. In the end, it heavily slammed against Mu Chen's body, causing a metallic sound to resound.
Mu Chen's figure abruptly fell, instantly shattering a mountain into ruins.
Huge cracks swiftly spread out on the ground.
The sudden change of events had startled everyone. When Mu Chen was smashed into the ground, only then did everyone recover from the shock and immediately raised their heads.
In the sky, there was a massive silhouette that stood on the sky.
It was emitting an astonishing Spiritual Energy pressure.
That massive silhouette was roughly a thousand feet in size with innumerable stars engraved on its body. The starlight from the stars linked together, forming into a profound star diagram.
But at this moment, the left arm of that massive silhouette had collapsed, turning into a one-armed giant!
"That is?!"
Countless gazes looked at the one-armed giant in astonishment. A brief moment later, exclamations resounded, "That's the Primordial Starlight Celestial Body?!"
"The Primordial Starlight Celestial Body that's ranked 65th in the 99 Rankings of Sovereign Celestial Bodies?!"
"That's right. It's said that the Primordial Starlight Celestial Body is a top-tiered Sovereign Celestial Body in the Divine Pavilion. I never expected that Fang Yi would successfully cultivate it. But in the past, there weren't many that could force him to bring it out."
"Ranked 65th, what a powerful Sovereign Celestial Body. It's said that when the Primordial Starlight Celestial Body is cultivated to the limits, it can form a starry sky. Under the envelopment of starlight, the Primordial Starlight Celestial Body is extremely powerful."
"Yeah, no wonder he could withstand Mu Chen's attack. So he had brought out his trump card."
"…"
As countless exclamations resounded in this region, Fang Yi's silhouette appeared on the head of the starlight silhouette. His face was a little pale. Clearly, he had suffered some injuries from Mu Chen's attack.
It was so much so that even if he had summoned his Sovereign Celestial Body, he still had to pay the price of losing an arm, causing the might of the Primordial Starlight Celestial Body to weaken.
Fang Yi's gaze was a little dark as he looked down. He could sense a great amount of Spiritual Energy being exhausted from the collapsed ground. Although he did not underestimate Mu Chen right from the start, it had exceeded his expectations that he would be forced to this extent in this battle.
"To be able to force me to this extent, you're qualified to be ranked 3rd on the Dragon-Phoenix Record."
Fang Yi's tone was cold as the killing intent in his eyes soared to the limits. He knew that if he couldn't get rid of Mu Chen in this battle, it might cause the latter's fame to soar instead.
At that time, he, Fang Yi, would probably become a stepping stone for Mu Chen.
That was clearly an unbearable situation for him.
Therefore, Fang Yi abruptly formed seals with both of his hands. The complicated star diagram on the Primordial Starlight Celestial Body abruptly burst out with dazzling starlight. In the end, the starlight gathered on his palm and formed into a massive starlight spear.
"Starry Primordial Divine Spear!"
"I'll finish you in a single move!"
Fang Yi's roar was akin to a dragon as he stomped his feet. His entire body seemed to have fused with the Primordial Starlight Celestial Body, turning into starlight that covered the heavens and earth as it whistled down. The starlight spear brought along boundless ocean-like fluctuations as it heavily slammed towards the collapsed ground.
Innumerable experts had grave expressions on their faces. Anyone could tell that Fang Yi had utilised his strongest power, intending to kill Mu Chen, who was similarly injured!
The battle between the dark horse and the overlord had already come to a conclusion!
