Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio  Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

Boom! Boom!

Violent spiritual energy fluctuations surged continuously in the Nine Dragons’ Deicide Array. The nine Spiritual Dragons struggled to break free, but they had been tightly bound by the chains.

Cold light glittered on the spikes as they devoured the Spiritual Dragons’ spiritual energy. The power of the Nine Dragons’ Deicide Array started to dwindle under the immense pressure of the invasion.

As Mu Chen was busy dealing with Xue Lingzi, he was unable to summon the power of the Nine Dragons’ Deicide Array. The Ghost Master had thus grabbed hold of the opportunity to destroy the Deicide Array. Judging from the situation, the Deicide Array would soon be destroyed.

Mu Chen, who was standing on the Fighting Spirit Ocean, frowned when he saw this change of events. Xue Lingzi was shameless, and what he had just done posed a huge threat to Mu Chen!

“I knew you were arrogant!” Xue Lingzi sneered at Mu Chen when he saw his expression. He was clearly elated. He was willing to pay a high price to see Mu Chen killed, as he hated Mu Chen to the core!

Mu Chen disregarded his mockery and waved his sleeve. The Tortoise Fighting Spirit and the Python Fighting Spirit then attacked the Blood Shadow Celestial Appearance even more fiercely, causing it to shake violently. Apparently, Mu Chen’s intention was to kill Xue Lingzi before the Ghost Master destroyed the Nine Dragons’ Deicide Array.

However, the Blood Shadow Celestial Appearance was very powerful. It was also able to switch between substance and illusion. As such, when it faced a powerful attack, it would turn into an illusion and dilute the power of the attack.

When it attacked, it then turned into a substance and attacked fiercely. Its defense and attack made it tough for Mu Chen to deal with it.

“Hohoho, are you trying to kill me first? What a presumptuous guy you are! Do you think you can break through my Blood Shadow Celestial Appearance?” Xue Lingzi mocked Mu Chen when he realized his intention.

The grand forces who were hiding in secret shook their heads. Even as Upper Earthly Sovereigns, they had found Xue Lingzi’s Blood Shadow Celestial Appearance tough to deal with. Hence, it came as no surprise that Mu Chen would struggle against it.

Although Mu Chen had powerful fighting spirits, he would not be able to defeat the Blood Shadow Celestial Appearance. Thus, the situation was definitely against Mu Chen!

As Mu Chen realized this, he suddenly waved his sleeve. At that moment, the Python and Tortoise Fighting Spirits retreated and encircled him.

“Have you decided to give up?” Xue Lingzi smiled coldly. Mu Chen had finally realized that his dire situation.

Mu Chen looked flatly at him as he formed a seal with one hand. When the seal changed, the two Spirits of Fighting Intent suddenly whizzed down and turned into majestic Fighting Spirit Oceans.

Waves surged constantly in the Fighting Spirit Oceans, and a huge whirlpool surfaced on the water. Everyone could sense that the fighting spirits of the Spirit-slaughtering Troop and the Demon Subduing Troop were trying to merge together. A horrifying fighting spirit fluctuation swirled out continuously.

When Xue Lingzi saw this scene, he was shocked. He then sneered and asked, “Are you thinking of merging the fighting spirits of the two troops? This is a good idea, but it is only wishful thinking to believe it is possible.”

If the fighting spirits of the two troops merged together, the result would be extremely powerful. However, it was very difficult to accomplish.

If the two troops had been groomed by Mu Chen, there was still a possibility of accomplishing it. However, it was not so. Thus, he would not be able to merge them together.

The grand forces that were hiding in secret shook their heads. This seemed to be Mu Chen’s last resort. Even so, he was likely to fail at it.

Splash. Splash.

The waves in the Fighting Spirit Oceans continued to surge, and the two powerful fighting spirits in the whirlpool kept coming together. Every time the fighting spirits tried to merge, they would only repel one another.

“It seems that you have failed,” Xue Lingzi said mockingly as he watched Mu Chen’s seemingly futile attempts.

Mu Chen lifted up his eyes and asked, “Oh, you really think so?”

Having said that, he grasped his fist, and a clear ancient sword appeared in his hand. He then slashed the sword down at the Fighting Spirit Oceans.

“Merge!” As Mu Chen shouted the word, a sword radiance went into the Fighting Spirit Oceans, immediately calming the surging waves. The two fighting spirits that had been rejecting each other soon started to merge together!

Boom!

A mighty fighting spirit fluctuation shot up to the sky, engulfing the entire area. The whirlpool in the Fighting Spirit Ocean surged crazily, and a huge object emerged from the whirlpool.

The huge object was a tortoise. Its mouth was ferocious, and it had the tail of a python. The python tail twirled itself around the tortoiseshell, and as the creature hissed, it exuded a majestic fighting spirit.

This creature was known as the Black Tortoise. The Black Tortoise Fighting Spirit’s body was packed with around 6,000,000 battle runes! With this amount of battle runes, even an Upper Earthly Sovereign would be fearful of such a powerful Spirit of Fighting Intent.

Xue Lingzi froze when the Spirit-slaughtering Troop and the Demon Subduing Troop merged together to form a new Spirit of Fighting Intent. He had never expected that Mu Chen would be able to merge the two different types of fighting spirits together. It was simply impossible!

Still stunned, Xue Lingzi noticed a deadly aura exuding from the Black Tortoise Fighting Spirit. He also noticed the insane amount of battle runes. Such a great number placed it among the highest of the Upper Earthly Sovereigns!

“Ghost Master, destroy the array quickly!” Xue Lingzi shouted sharply as he trembled with fear.

The Ghost Master, who was taking his time, had received a great shock as well. He looked grave, as he had not expected Mu Chen to be able merge the fighting spirits together either.

He took a deep breath and threw out more spiritual seals to hasten his speed in destroying the spiritual array. He knew that if Xue Lingzi was defeated by Mu Chen, he would not be able to take Mu Chen on single-handedly.

At that moment, Mu Chen lifted up his head and looked coldly at Xue Lingz, who was no longer looking arrogant, but was indeed rather pale.

“Tear him apart!” Mu Chen shouted and waved his hand, causing the Black Tortoise Fighting Spirit to roar and open its mouth.

A vast stream of fighting spirit swirled out, a large number of battle runes glittering within it. As it shot up into the sky, fighting sounds emitted from it.

“Blood River Rampart!” As Xue Lingzi dared not take the attack of the Black Tortoise Fighting Spirit lightly, he changed his seal, causing the Blood Shadow Celestial Appearance to open its mouth and spew out a stream of Blood River to form a sticky Blood River Rampart.

Boom!

The stream of fighting spirit blasted on the Blood River Rampart, dissolving the Blood River before it blasted on the Blood Shadow Celestial Appearance. At the crucial moment, Xue Lingzi activated the Blood Shadow Celestial Appearance to turn it into an illusion. Thus, when the stream of fighting spirit blasted on the Blood Shadow Celestial Appearance, most of the fighting spirit went through it.

This allowed the Blood Shadow Celestial Appearance to remain unscathed, aside from the appearance of a single hole on its body. Then, as the Blood River flowed into it, the hole sealed up in no time.

When Xue Lingzi saw this, he loosened up and relaxed a little. Although Mu Chen possessed a powerful Spirit of Fighting Intent, he would not be able to deal with his Blood Shadow Celestial Appearance!

Boom!

Mu Chen remained calm and flicked his fingers. The stream of fighting spirit whizzed out crazily again, blasting the Blood Shadow Celestial Appearance.

When Xue Lingzi saw it, he immediately switched to the defensive mode. He kept switching the Blood Shadow Celestial Appearance between substance and illusion in order to avoid the deadly attacks. As long as he could hold it until the Ghost Master had destroyed the spiritual array and joined forces with him, they would be able to kill Mu Chen!

The fight in the sky was intense, and the grand forces that had hidden themselves started to frown. Although Mu Chen’s Black Tortoise Fighting Spirit was overbearing, it did not seem to be having any effect on Xue Lingzi’s Blood Shadow Celestial Appearance.

Due to this reason, Xue Lingzi had managed to buy some time while he waited for the Nine Dragons’ Deicide Array to crumble…

Boom!

After yet another blast, the Blood Shadow Celestial Appearance became illusionary in order to avoid the latest attack. Xue Lingzi stood on the Celestial Appearance and sneered. “Young chap, when are you going to stop using this useless method? Are you really nuts?”

Even after Mu Chen heard his mockery, he remained calm. He then stared at Xue Lingzi and sneered. “Is it truly useless?”

Mu Chen then lowered his head, focusing all of his energy forward, while several clear light spots appeared on the Blood Shadow Celestial Appearance. They were glittering like fireflies!

When Xue Lingzi saw the clear light spots, he came to a sudden realization, which caused him to turn pale and cold. Mu Chen smiled when he saw this, then formed a seal with his hand and said within his heart… Seal!

At that moment, the clear light spots burst out. As the rays swirled out, they covered the Blood Shadow Celestial Appearance, causing it to dim instantly.

This was because it lost the support of the spiritual energy! Although Xue Lingzi had activated his spiritual energy to support the Blood Shadow Celestial Appearance, it continued to shrink.

It is his obscure spiritual energy!

When did it invade my Sovereign Celestial Appearance?

Did it happen whenever it went through it?

Xue Lingzi turned frantic, myriad thoughts and panic rushing through his mind. He finally knew why Mu Chen had pressed on with his attacks, even though the Blood Shadow Celestial Appearance had managed to dodge them. Mu Chen’s intention was not to use his fighting spirit to destroy his Sovereign Celestial Appearance, but it was to utilize his obscure spiritual energy instead!

I must gather the Blood Shadow Celestial Appearance again! Xue Lingzi gritted his teeth and decided to cut off his connection from the Blood Shadow Celestial Appearance. However, a clear light came down from the heavens at that very instant, while a large crystal pagoda covered him and the Blood Shadow Celestial Appearance.

The crystal pagoda shrunk instantly into the size of a palm, then landed on Mu Chen’s palm. When the grand forces and the Ghost Master saw it, they were shocked. No one had expected the formidable Xue Lingzi to be trapped in Mu Chen’s crystal pagoda in mere seconds!

Mu Chen ignored the looks of the people as he stared at Xue Lingzi, who was looking flustered from within the crystal pagoda. Mu Chen was filled with killing intent, and his laughter resounded in the area.

He then yelled, “Old coot! Let’s see where you can run to this time round!”
