Rumble!
In the remote mountain range, the ground suddenly started to tremble, especially the source of the trembling. The majestic mountain was violently trembling with huge rocks constantly falling from the mountain, causing the ground to be riddled with holes.
+ Top + Point + Small + Speak + +
When Jiu You, the Mountain Splitting King and the rest saw the commotion, joy was plastered on their faces. That's because, at the same time when the trembling spread out, they had also sensed a violent and powerful Spiritual Energy fluctuation in the depths of the mountain cave.
That Spiritual Energy fluctuation naturally belonged to Mu Chen.
After a month of seclusion, Mu Chen's Spiritual Energy had finally become lively once again. Furthermore, judging from the strength of the fluctuation, it was even more powerful than a month ago.
"He's finally coming out of seclusion."
The Mountain Splitting King and the rest felt heavily relieved. If Mu Chen still didn't come out, then they could only forcefully wake him up. Otherwise, they would have to delay this Hunting War.
Boom!
The trembling of the mountain peak grew more frequent and in the end, there were cracks spreading out on the mountain. In just ten-odd breaths' time, the cracks had spread out on the entire mountain peak.
In the depths of the mountain cave, the Spiritual Energy fluctuation grew even more violent. When it reached the limit, it was like a volcano that ferociously erupted.
Boom!
The mountain peak exploded in an instant and a Spiritual Energy pillar that was a few hundred feet soared into the sky, piercing the clouds and could be clearly seen from a few hundred miles in radius.
The Spiritual Energy pillar stood between the heavens and earth as a Spiritual Energy fluctuation spread out.
It caused even space to fluctuate a little.
Jiu You and the rest fixed their eyes on the Spiritual Energy pillar and suddenly narrowed their eyes. Thereafter, they saw a slender silhouette in the pillar.
The astonishing Spiritual Energy fluctuations came from that figure's body.
"This Spiritual Energy fluctuation …"
The Mountain Splitting King and the rest had shock written on their faces as they said in shock, "King Mu has actually broken through to Fifth Grade Sovereign?!"
They had thought that Mu Chen was only cultivating as a Battle Formation Master in this one month. But who could have expected that the latter could actually make a breakthrough from Fourth Grade Sovereign to Fifth Grade Sovereign in just a short one month!
There was only a grade difference between the fourth and fifth grade.
But there was a huge gap between the two. Take the Great Havenlaw Domain for example, stepping into the Fifth Grade Sovereign Realm.
On the other hand, a Fourth Grade Supreme Martial Artist could only be given a city and become a City Lord.
Guarding an area.
Between the two, it is like
In their Great Heaven Domain, a Fifth Grade Sovereign already possessed the qualifications to be conferred as a King. Although Mu Chen had already proven his qualifications with his strength.
A Fifth Grade Sovereign would definitely be able to receive extremely high treatment in any force in the Northern Region.
"No wonder he has been cultivating for so long." Spirit Sword King sighed.
If that's the case, they didn't feel that a month was long.
Back then, when they broke through to Fifth Grade Sovereign, the time they spent wasn't just half a month.
As everyone sighed, the pillar of Spiritual Energy in the sky gradually weakened. As the pillar of light dissipated, a slender silhouette stood in the sky with his black hair fluttering in the wind, which made him look handsome and suave.
Mu Chen's tightly shut eyes slowly opened at this moment as he looked at the lush mountain range that he hadn't seen for a long time, as well as the familiar silhouettes in the mountain range. He gently felt relieved in his heart.
Although he had only cultivated for a month, due to the fact that he had cultivated his will, Mu Chen felt as if several years had passed, with a feeling of vicissitudes.
Suppressing the emotions in his heart, Mu Chen's silhouette moved and landed on the mountain that Jiu You and the rest were on. He cupped his fists with a smile and apologised, "I'm sorry to have made everyone wait."
He initially thought that he would only cultivate for roughly half a month. But who could have expected that a month would pass in the blink of an eye? If it was during normal times, it would be fine. But right now, they were in the dangerous Hunting War. In this month, the situation in the Fallen Battlefield had probably changed.
When the Mountain Splitting King and the rest heard his words, they smiled and waved their hands, before probing, "King Mu has already stepped into the Fifth Grade Sovereign Realm, right?"
Although they had already sensed it, they still wanted to verify it with their own mouths.
Mu Chen nodded his head with a smile.
Seeing that Mu Chen had admitted it, the Mountain Splitting King and the rest couldn't help letting out a sigh of relief. After all, when Mu Chen first came to the Great Heaven Domain, he had only just broken through to the Sovereign Realm. But in less than two years, he had already stepped into the Fifth Grade Sovereign Realm. His cultivation speed was simply shocking.
If it was someone else, it would be hard for them to even reach the Second Grade Sovereign Realm in two years. But Mu Chen had left everyone in the dust, leaving many geniuses behind him.
"Then, can you be considered a Battle Formation Master now?"
Jiu You blinked her eyes as she chuckled and asked an even more important question. Although the Fifth Grade Sovereign Realm was powerful, in addition to Mu Chen's means, there might not be anyone in the Fifth Grade Sovereign Realm that could confront him. It was so much so that Mu Chen might even dare to clash with a Sixth Grade Sovereign with his own strength.
But clearly, the power that the identity of a Battle Formation Master could bring was even stronger than Mu Chen's own strength at the Fifth Grade Sovereign Realm. This could be seen from the commotion caused by Zhantai Liuli in this period of time. The Myriad Saint Peak was also a peak force with countless experts. But in this confrontation with the Divine Pavilion, not only was the Battle Will genius of their Myriad Saint Peak heavily injured by Zhantai Liuli, their elite troops had also suffered great losses. It was so much so that even a Sixth Grade Sovereign had fallen.
All of this was caused by Zhantai Liuli becoming a Battle Formation Master. Thus, one could tell how powerful a Battle Formation Master was in this Hunting War.
Hearing Jiu You's question, the Mountain Splitting King and the rest had also looked at Mu Chen with their eyes shining. Clearly, they were more concerned about this matter.
Although a Fifth Grade Sovereign was powerful, it wasn't a decisive factor in a large-scale war like the Hunting War.
Clearly, they would not be able to play a decisive role. Only Battle Formation Masters could integrate the elite troops under the command of the various top forces.
Thus, they could unleash a powerful fighting strength.
Mu Chen looked at their flickering gazes and lightly smiled. He did not speak and looked at the five troops stationed in the mountain range.
Boom!
When Jiu You and the rest looked at Mu Chen's eyes, they suddenly felt that the latter's eyes had turned extremely bright. Thereafter, they felt a formless storm instantly exploding from Mu Chen's body.
Rumble!
A formless storm exploded.
Space fluctuated and the faces of Jiu You, Mountain Splitting King and the rest drastically changed.
That's because they felt a piercing pain coming from the centre of their brows from the formless energy.
That energy was formless and ghostly.
"This is the mysterious energy of a Battle Formation Master?" The gazes of Jiu You and the rest flickered.
They were, after all, experts with considerable experience.
Naturally, they knew some information about Battle Formation Masters. It was said that Battle Formation Masters relied on this energy to unify the Battle Will of their troops.
Although they didn't have a deep understanding of this energy, Jiu You and the rest could sense that the energy that Mu Chen possessed was much stronger than before.
That formless energy.
It was naturally Mu Chen's will.
At this moment, he stood in the sky with his hands behind his back and his black hair fluttered without any wind.
As his will swept out, it had practically charged into the five troops in an instant. At the same time, all the warriors of the five troops felt a voice resounding in their minds.
"Unleash your Battle Will."
That voice was calm and indifferent, but it contained an indescribable majesty. That majesty caused the five armies to involuntarily erupt without even consulting their respective commanders.
Rumble!
Five boundless Battle Wills soared into the sky from the mountain range and hovered above the five troops. Mu Chen's bright eyes looked at the five Battle Wills as he gently waved his hand.
Boom!
Boom! Five boundless oceans of Battle Will whistled as earth-shaking roars resounded. Five massive Spirits of Battle Will were formed from the oceans of Battle Will.
Roar!
The five Spirits of Battle Will stood in the sky as their roars shook the heavens. Dazzling Battle Runes covered their bodies and the undulations of Battle Will were much stronger than before!
Jiu You, the Mountain Splitting King and the rest looked at this scene in shock. In the past, although Mu Chen could refine five Spirits of Battle Will, it was impossible for him to do it so smoothly.
Previously, he seemed to have casually refined the Spirits of Battle Will. Furthermore, even as laymen, Jiu You and the rest could tell that the five Spirits of Battle Will were much stronger than before.
Looking at the five Spirits of Battle Will, Mu Chen abruptly formed seals with his hands.
"Battle Will, condense!"
Boom!
The five Spirits of Battle Will soared into the sky and clashed together. In that instant of collision, a violent Battle Will wreaked havoc like a shock wave, causing huge cracks to appear on the surrounding mountains.
Jiu You and the rest had their gazes fixed on the dazzling halo of Battle Will in the sky. Within it, boundless Battle Will was constantly fluctuating.
It was a move that Mu Chen had executed in the past, but at that time, it was a little forceful.
Rumble!
As the halo of Battle Will undulated, the sky suddenly trembled. Under the shocked gazes of Jiu You and the rest, a colossal hand that was roughly a thousand feet in size was slowly being formed. That hand was covered in densely packed Battle Runes and a terrifying fluctuation was being emitted. The fluctuation of Battle Will made even the Mountain Splitting King's face drastically change.
Huff.
Mu Chen looked at the Battle Will hand in the halo and gently spat out a mouthful of air, slowly suppressing the excitement in his heart.
That's because the number of dazzling Battle Runes on the colossal Battle Will hand had already exceeded ten thousand!
That also meant that Mu Chen had finally broken through the ten thousand runes and had stepped into the doorstep of a Battle Formation Master, becoming a genuine ten thousand runes Battle Formation Master!
