Weng!
The three gigantic suspending light globes behind the War Emperor Celestial Appearance’s head suddenly exploded into glaring rays. After Mu Chen got used to the bright light, he was very shocked to see numerous vague figures within the light globes.
“What’s that?” Mu Chen narrowed his pupil slightly as he stared into the three light globes anxiously.
The spiritual light quickly gathered in his eyes and his vision became clearer than ever. He drew in a cold breath, as there were indeed many figures in the light globes.
All of them were sitting with their legs crossed and were wearing their thick suits of armor. The domineering fighting spirit was surging like waves, as these figures were from troops of sizeable scales!
“There is actually a small space within the light globes that can hold such a huge number of troops?” Mu Chen was amazed by this.
He could clearly see that the troops were all full of vitality. Apparently, they were not puppets, but a real army!
“So, this is the secret to the War Emperor Celestial Body! While the army is hidden within the space of those light globes, the army can consistently gather the fighting spirit for the usage of the main body during a fight. When adding this to their own regeneration of spiritual energy, they can provide an endless amount of Fighting Spiritual Energy!” Mu Chen wondered aloud.
He finally understood why Ling Zhanzi had such a dominating fighting spirit, even though he was not controlling an army. He actually hid the military troops in those light globes!
“The Ancient War Emperor Celestial Body does indeed live up to its name.” Mu Chen sang its praises to no one in particular. This was the first time he had seen such a marvelous Sovereign Celestial Body.
Ling Zhanzi stood on top of the War Emperor Celestial Body. When he saw Mu Chen staring at the spaces within the three light globes, he knew that Mu Chen had already found out the secret of his War Emperor Celestial Body.
“Good eyesight.” His voice was cold. Then, with a stomp of his foot, the glow in the three light globes gradually disappeared, revealing the countless hidden troops.
“In this space, millions of troops were hidden in order to supply me with endless fighting spirit,” Ling Zhanzi said indifferently. After all, he had no reason to hide it anymore. The secret was out!
Despite the fact that it was millions of troops, their quality was incomparable with the Spirit-slaughtering Troop and the Demon Subduing Troop. But, they really won by numbers.
Moreover, they could always practice the fighting spirit in the space of the War Emperor Celestial Body. Even the fighting spirit they cultivated complemented Ling Zhanzi. The two of them combined could cause even Upper Earthly Sovereigns to tremble.
“In recent years, not many people could force me to reveal the secret of the War Emperor Celestial Body.” Ling Zhanzi stared at Mu Chen with intense killing intent. “But, I had collected the heads of those people as my winning souvenirs! This time, you will be no exception!”
After Ling Zhanzi said this, millions of troops let out a thunderous roar from the space within the light globes. With red faces and eyes that were filled with the hunger for battle, their violent fighting spirits raged.
Those fighting spirits then pierced through space and injected themselves into the War Emperor Celestial Body. Then, battle runes suddenly appeared on the body of the War Emperor Celestial Body, and an indescribable oppression loomed over Heaven and Earth.
Mu Chen sharpened his eyes at this time, as he could feel the mightiness of the War Emperor Celestial Body heightening at a breakneck speed. Previously, Ling Zhanzi was not willing to expose the existence of these troops.
But apparently, he could not wait any longer. Hence, he circulated his energy at full-force, driving out the fighting spirits of his millions of troops completely.
A daunting oppression loomed over the entire land. The land below them crumpled and fell off. Even those tall and huge trees were blown up and reduced to powder that filled the air.
The oppression was too shockingly fierce, it even affected the four persons who were battling on the other two battlefields. Immediately, they cast shocked and doubtful gazes towards that direction.
When Ling Jianzi and Ling Longzi saw the state that Ling Zhanzi was in, they were both stunned and surprised. After all, Ling Zhanzi was only confronting Mu Chen, who was just a Lower Earthly Sovereign…
Why was he forced to reveal the secret of the War Emperor Celestial Body?
As disciples of the Western King War Emperor, they knew the power of this Celestial Body. However, they had never cultivated it successfully. Among the four Holy Children, only Ling Zhanzi had managed to do that.
In the previous battles, those who had forced Ling Zhanzi to this extent were all top-notch powerhouses, who were close to reaching Complete Earthly Sovereign. What really shocked them was that his current opponent was only a Lower Earthly Sovereign!
“That Mu Chen is actually playing dumb!” Ling Jianzi said.
He and Ling Longzi’s eyes gleamed, and they soon understood the situation very clearly. If Mu Chen was not a tough character, Ling Zhanzi would never expose the secret of the War Emperor Celestial Body!
As compared to their shock, Su Mu and Chu Men heaved sighs of relief, even though they were also stunned by Mu Chen’s ability. Previously, they had been worried that Mu Chen would be defeated very quickly.
In that case, Ling Zhanzi would turn around and deal with them next! Then, the situation would immediately be overturned, and they could be chased out of the battlefields entirely! However, judging from the current situation, Mu Chen seemed to doing well by keeping Ling Zhanzi busy.
We need to make use of this time to conclude our battles… Su Mu and Chu Men both had similar thoughts. Since Mu Chen had bought them some time, they must seize the opportunity to finish their battles earlier in order to join Mu Chen to deal with Ling Zhanzi.
Apparently, they assumed that Mu Chen was not capable of winning against Ling Zhanzi alone. After they decided what to do, the spiritual energies of Su Mu and Chu Men exploded out from their bodies.
“Haha, trying to finish us off to help that lad?” Ling Jianzi jeered. He and Ling Longzi understood the motives behind their actions instantly. Hence, they both burst out in mocking laughter.
“Looks like the previous warm-up session gave you the wrong impression that we are weaklings. If that’s so, let us show you how cruel the reality is!” Ling Jianzi said.
While he and Ling Longzi were laughing, they started to counter the retaliation of Su Mu and Chu Men with a more brutal offense. Within a short period of time, their violent spiritual energies were knocking against each other non-stop. The four figures continued to blast insane blows at each other, one after another.
Mu Chen was not bothered by these fluctuations, as they were far from him. In stead, all of his focus was on Ling Zhanzi and the War Emperor Celestial Body.
After Ling Zhanzi circulated the millions troop, he gathered their spiritual energies and fighting spirits together. The War Emperor Celestial Body became extremely daunting, and Mu Chen could sense the intensely dangerous aura being emitted from it. Even Mu Chen could not help to admit that Ling Zhanzi was a very tricky opponent.
Phew.
Mu Chen took a deep breath and sat on the shoulder of the Immortal Golden Body with his legs crossed. He then formed seals with both of his hands. After all, he could only give his best when confronted with the fierce Ling Zhanzi!
Ling Zhanzi looked at Mu Chen from far. He had finally made his move when the War Emperor Celestial Body had circulated its mightiness to the maximum limit.
He then swung his robe, and the War Emperor Celestial Body below him shot out bright flashes of light from both of its eyes. Its gigantic mouth then opened and spurt out tons of Fighting Spiritual Energy, which formed into a gigantic light beam that went soaring through the sky!
At the same time, many battle runes shot out from the War Emperor Celestial Body. They rose and then quickly merged with the gigantic light beam.
Uncountable powerhouses around the White Jade Square gazed in horror at the light beam, which looked like a mighty pillar from Heaven. Even though they were watching through a light screen, their hearts were still beating heavily.
Liu Xingchen was looking at the screen with an awful expression, too. Previously, when he was defeated by Ling Zhanzi, the latter did not even have to use this skill. Apparently, Ling Zhanzi did not regard him highly enough to pull out this trump card.
But, at the same time, all odds were against Mu Chen. Liu Xingchen did not think that Mu Chen would have any chance of winning, especially considering the fierce and mighty offense of Ling Zhanzi.
At present, Ling Zhanzi did not bother himself with those horrifying gazes that were being directed at him from outside the battlefield. Instead, he stared coldly at Mu Chen, then slowly formed a seal with both of his hands.
Weng!
Then, the dazzling beam of the Heaven-supporting light pillar suddenly flickered. In the end, it transformed into a gigantic finger that was full of an ancient aura.
The gigantic finger was like a real finger, and its body was full of battle runes. A gust of fighting spirit swept out between Heaven and Earth, and even the sky was darkened at this moment, as if it was shaking in fear!
Ling Zhanzi stared at Mu Chen with icy eyes, and the corner of his lips drew up in a cruel smile. The next moment, his low voice resounded throughout the land, “War Emperor Super Power, War Emperor Glass-shattering Heaven Finger! Mu Chen, you’re dead meat!”
Boom!
When his voice resounded throughout the land, the huge finger pressed down from the clouds, shattering the sky. The space also collapsed into black holes, and countless space fragments shot out. The entire land seemed to be facing total annihilation, from just a finger!
The ground that Mu Chen was standing on began to collapse. He looked up at the gigantic finger, which concealed the sun and the sky. He put on a solemn expression, and with a deep breath, he quickly changed his seal.
Weng!
As he changed his seals, the violet ray gathered insanely above the Immortal Golden Body. Within a short while, it transformed into fifteen huge violet light runes. However, Mu Chen did not stop there, as he knew that fifteen of them would not be enough to block the killing blow of Ling Zhanzi.
The crystal-like glow surged in Mu Chen’s eyes. The Crystal Pagoda in his body was vibrating vigorously in order to suck up all of the spiritual energy. After all of the spiritual energy was refined, it turned back into mighty and vast spiritual energy again.
The intense suction caused even Mu Chen’s muscles to feel a sharp pain. However, as he sucked in the spiritual energy, the violet glow exploded once again from the Immortal Golden Body. Gradually, lines of Immortal God Runes surfaced out.
Then, when the twenty-third Immortal God Rune appeared, the glow in Mu Chen’s eyes dimmed finally. Apparently, that was the maximum number that he could circulate.
“But, it should be enough…” he murmured as he lifted his head.
He stared at the devastating gigantic finger that was coming down on him. The twenty-three Immortal God Runes would be the best counter-strike from the Immortal Golden Body.
“Let us have a look. Is your War Emperor Celestial Body stronger, or can my Immortal Golden Body have the last laugh?” Mu Chen mumbled to himself.
Then, with a thought, Mu Chen shot out the twenty-three Immortal God Runes. The next moment, violet light rays filled the sky. At this time, the twenty-three Immortal God Runes transformed into a gigantic violet finger, too!
“Immortal God Rune, Myriad of Change, Immortal Finger!” Mu Chen shouted.
With a loud roar that resounded in Mu Chen’s heart, the enormous violet finger shot into the sky. It had a mysterious and immortal aura. Everyone watched in horror as it collided with the falling War Emperor Glass-shattering Heaven Finger.
Time seemed to have frozen at that moment.
