Chapter 1278 - Fighting Perfected Earth Sovereign

In the dark prison, the charming lady in the white dress quietly sat with her head slightly raised. As if her gaze pierced through the layers and saw that silhouette in the sky.

“Mu Chen…” A smile rose on her face. Just a moment ago when she gained control of the Protection Spiritual Array, she had already spread her perception throughout this continent.

Thus, she could see the Mu Chen that had matured and was no longer that unripened youth.

Evidently, Mu Chen had grown up over the past few years.

“Mu Chen, I will help you trap one Perfected Earth Sovereign, but you have to depend on yourself for the other two.” Ling Xi muttered. With this Spiritual Array that Qing Yanjing had left behind, even as a Perfected Earth Sovereign, Ling Xi was confident in trapping the Emerald Serpent Ancestor.

This was also her limits. As for Gu Shihuang and Liang Xiesha, Mu Chen and the rest still had to rely on themselves.

“Let me see how far you’ve grown…” Ling Xi looked at the darkness with her voice resounded within the quiet prison.



On the Spiritual Jade Island

When the Skycirculation Meteorite changed its target to trap the Emerald Serpent Ancestor, Long Xiang was dumbfounded. He did not expect such a thing to occur.

“This Spiritual Array should be under Big Sister Ling Xi’s control.” Mu Chen smiled. He wasn’t surprised. That’s because, when the Spiritual Array appeared, he had already sensed the fluctuation that came from Ling Xi.

Others might not be able to sense it, but it couldn’t escape from Mu Chen, who was also a Spiritual Array Master.

Thus, he did not retaliate when Gu Shihuang wanted to use the Spiritual Array to capture him, since he knew that the outcome would be changed.

“Ling Xi?” Long Xiang was also surprised, “How did she achieve that?”

Mu Chen stared at the Spiritual Jade Island. “Didn’t you say that this island was once the place of cultivation for my mother? She might have left something behind, and Big Sister Ling Xi might have been secretly cultivating while being trapped here all this time…”

Hearing his words, Long Xiang was also surprised and immediately said, “Yeah, I’m afraid that is so. I’ve been wondering why Ling Xi would come here to fall for a trap, allowing Gu Shihuang to trap her. So it turns out that she had such a motive!”

Mu Chen smiled before he glanced at the pale-faced Emerald Serpent Ancestor. “Since Big Sister Ling Xi helped us deal with one, we’ll deal with the other two ourselves.”

Long Xiang bitterly smiled upon hearing that. Even if the Emerald Serpent Ancestor was trapped, the remaining two were still Perfected Earth Sovereigns, so how could the three of them obtain a victory?

“Big Brother Long Xiang, you and Luo Li together should be able to face a Perfected Earth Sovereign.”

Long Xiang was stunned before he turned to look at Luo Li. He also had an understanding for Luo Li, knowing that the latter had cultivated the Luo Shen Celestial Body with unimaginable fighting prowess. Although she was a Lesser Earth Sovereign, even he, Long Xiang might face trouble to obtain the upper hand.

If the two of them worked together, it might not be impossible for them to face a Perfected Earth Sovereign.

Then, wouldn’t that mean that Mu Chen had to deal with a Perfected Earth Sovereign all by himself?

“Big Brother Long Xiang, you don’t have to worry about him. Since he has arranged it this way, then he must have the confidence to back it up.” Luo Li smiled as she spoke while Long Xiang hesitated.

Evidently, she was filled with confidence for Mu Chen.

Long Xiang could only nod his head and bitterly smiled. “If the situation isn’t good, then we’ll retreat. Gu Shihuang won’t dare to do anything to Ling Xi.”

Mu Chen smiled, but he remained silent.

As the two of them spoke, Gu Shihuang and Liang Xiesha directed their dark gazes over, since they had figured out the reason for the sudden changes in the Spiritual Array.

“Emerald Serpent, don’t worry and attack the array at full force. That cheap whore won’t be able to do anything with the array. When we capture the three of them, we’ll immediately let you out.” Gu Shihuang looked at the Emerald Serpent Ancestor before he said with a solemn expression.

The Emerald Serpent Ancestor snorted, but his expression had calmed down. Evidently, even if this happened, it’s harmless and with Gu Shihuang and Liang Xiesha’s strength, dealing with three fries was just a blink of an eye.

Pacifying the Emerald Serpent Ancestor, Gu Shihuang coldly looked at Mu Chen with a chill in his eyes that instantly lowered the temperature between the heavens and earth.

“You think that you will be saved with her help? Even if you grow wings, you won’t be able to escape from this old man!” When Gu Shihuang’s voice landed, a terrifying Spiritual Energy fluctuation swept out like a storm, along with a surge of terrifying Spiritual Energy that enveloped this region.

Liang Xiesha eerily smiled as he took a step forth, along with a surge of Spiritual Energy that wasn’t any weaker than Gu Shihuang’s.

A few myriad miles in radius had turned dark under the two terrifying Spiritual Energy pressures, causing the surrounding region to sweep in waves as countless oceanic Spiritual Beasts escaped. None of them dared to remain within the radius of the Spiritual Jade Island.

As the two Perfected Earth Sovereigns unleashed their aura, Long Xiang and Luo Li’s faces gradually turned solemn.

On the contrary, Mu Chen’s gaze was sharp with the True Dragon, and Phoenix Spirits appearing beneath his skin. Although they were only in the Lesser Earth Sovereign Realm, they possessed the noblest bloodline of the Dragon and Phoenix Bloodlines, possessing an innate prestige. So the Spiritual Energy aura coming from the two Perfected Earth Sovereigns couldn’t do anything to them.

Staring at Gu Shihuang, Mu Chen’s gaze suddenly blazed. Before he broke through, he could only avoid when facing a Perfected Earth Sovereign.

But since he had stepped into the Greater Earth Sovereign Realm, the gap between him and a Perfected Earth Sovereign was also gradually closed up.

In his eyes, the realm that was out of his reach before was no longer that high.

Mu Chen’s eyes blazed with fighting intent. In the next instant, he flew out and pounced towards Gu Shiheng.

Mu Chen taking the initiative all of a sudden caused Gu Shiheng’s eyes to twitch before he eerily smiled. “Truly a brat that doesn’t know the immensity of heaven and earth. Since you want to be sent to your death, then this old man will fulfill your wish!”

If an ordinary Greater Earth Sovereign encountered him, which one wouldn’t be cowering in fear? But not only was Mu Chen not afraid, he even launched an attack. It was undoubtedly a challenge to a Perfected Earth Sovereign’s might.

Mu Chen’s silhouette bolted out and a few breaths later, he appeared before Gu Shihuang. He then took a deep breath with rumbling roars that resounded from his body.

Without any expression, he threw a jab forth. When he threw that jab forth, the True Dragon and Phoenix Spirits appeared on his arms, emanating draconic roars and phoenix cries with golden lusters covering his entire arm like a glove.

However, even if he had utilised the True Dragon and Phoenix Spirits, it’s still insufficient to deal with a Perfected Earth Sovereign!

Thus, when the power of the True Dragon and Phoenix Spirits gushed out, the crystallised pagoda appeared from the depths of his eyes and he poured the Spiritual Energy in his body into the pagoda. In the next moment, the crystallised Spiritual Energy gushed out.

When Mu Chen was a Lesser Earth Sovereign, the Spiritual Energy in his body could resist a Greater Earth Sovereign after conversion. Now that he had stepped into the Greater Earth Sovereign Realm, the effect should be even more terrifying.

Through the conversion, boundless Spiritual Energy surged in Mu Chen’s body with his black pupils glittering like crystals.

At the same time, a glittering light could be seen on Mu Chen’s fist, as if his entire fist had been turned into a crystal fist at this moment.

That fist had shattered even space with countless spatial fragments demolished when they came in contact with the fist.

Sensing the stunning power that burst from Mu Chen’s body, even Gu Shihuang had narrowed his eyes and felt a little uneasy from the Spiritual Energy.

“This brat has truly formed the Divine Pagoda!” A killing intent flashed in the eyes of Gu Shihuang. As a member of the Ancient Buddha Clan, he naturally knew the amplification of the pagoda to the Spiritual Energy. However, to amplify the Spiritual Energy of a Greater Earth Sovereign to this degree was something that could only be done with the Divine Pagoda!

“Hmph, even if you have the Divine Pagoda, you’re only a Greater Earth Sovereign. This old man doesn’t believe that you can fly out of my palms!” Gu Shihuang coldly snorted with a vicious gaze before his palm formed seals and pushed it out.

When he pushed his palm forth, a brilliant luster burst from his palm. It was akin to the sun and clashed against Mu Chen’s crystallised fist.

“This old man will use this palm to tell you how invincible the Perfected Earth Sovereign Realm is!”

“Before my palm, any struggles are futile!” Gu Shihuang roared as this palm flew out and in the next instant, a destructive force heavily slammed against Mu Chen’s fist.

In that instant of contact, a sinister smile rose on Gu Shihuang’s lips. He knew that in the next moment, Mu Chen would be heavily injured, even if he’s not dead.
