Chapter 995: One of It
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
Roaring thunder rumbled throughout the land. Lu Sui looked at Mu Chen hideously. A thunderbolt rippled out from his body. Every thunderbolt ripple twisted the space to the extreme.
Lu Sui decided that he could no longer hesitate. He must kill Mu Chen today, even if it meant that he would sustain severe injuries. Otherwise, if word got out, his reputation in the clan would be tarnished!
“I have given you a chance. Since you turned down my offer, I’ll make sure that you die here today!”
Lu Sui gave a low groan. His eyes surged with thunderbolts. With both of his hands clapping together, his formation changed quickly within the lights.
As his formation changed, the eye-striking thunderbolt spiritual energy burst out from his body violently. All of these energies then transformed into visible Thunder Traces, which were floating in the air.
These Thunder Traces contained extremely daunting spiritual energy. It was an energy that was pure and refined, as it had been condensed from the spiritual energy in Lu Sui’s body.
The Thunder Traces floated in front of Lu Sui and gathered swiftly together. All of a sudden, a thunderbolt exploded and spread across the sky. A Thunder Seal, thousands of feet wide, was forming in the lights quickly.
Then, the Thunder Seal suspended itself in the air. With its appearance, the thunders around the region seemed to be rumbling continuously. A daunting oppression emanated throughout the whole area.
The rest of the supreme talents on the Thunder Cloud Tower could also sense its dominating fluctuation. Their expressions turned solemn, as one of them could not help but say softly, “It’s the Destructive Thunder Seal, one of the Perfect Divine Arts. Lu Sui has been forced to use it.”
The Perfect Divine Art was a strong trump card that the supreme talents only used as a last resort. As such, no one had expected that Mu Chen, a Sovereign Grade Six, could force Lu Sui to reveal such a trump card.
Zong Teng squinted his eyes from afar, looking a little surprised. After which, he smiled. He was satisfied, thinking that surely Lu Sui would be able to turn the situation around now.
However, even Zong Teng would need to be cautious, now that Lu Sui had displayed the Perfect Divine Art. Though Mu Chen’s strength was beyond what most people had expected, he would still not be able to defend himself against Lu Sui.
Ink Blade’s expression froze for a moment, but he was not too worried. He knew that the only help that he could give to Mu Chen was to stall Zong Teng. Mu Chen could only rely on himself to deal with Lu Sui, which is exactly what he told him.
“Mu Chen, I hope you can survive this. This is the only thing I can do for you…”
Boom!
While Ink Blade shared his thoughts, the thunderbolt in front of Lu Sui intensified. The gigantic Thunder Seal gradually took shape, as the pillars of thunderbolt burst out into the space.
Lu Sui stood behind the Thunder Seal. He looked at Mu Chen from its top, coldness filling his eyes.
Such a formidable skill was supposed to reserved for use only on the other supreme talents, who were qualified to vie for the five seats. Now, Mu Chen had been forced to use it already!
This would allow other people to become familiar with it, thus forfeiting his opportunities for gaining the upper-hand in the future. Hence, he needed to slaughter Mu Chen, as he was obviously the troublemaker here!
Far below the Thunder Seal, Mu Chen’s body surged with golden lights. His pitch-black eyes turned golden, too. Then, as if he was a golden statue, he released an inexplicable aura of solemnness.
He did not look up for the Thunder Seal. Instead, he looked down at both of his arms. The veins on his arms were vibrating non-stop, while his flesh and blood felt like they were on fire. He seemed to be melting.
Mu Chen clenched his hands. He could feel the runes of the real dragon and real phoenix running around in his body. It seemed as if they could not wait to release their daunting power!
Phew.
Mu Chen took a deep breath. He then looked up and narrowed his eyes gradually, as he looked at the gigantic Thunder Seal.
Roar!
A deep groan from the dragon came from Mu Chen’s body. His flesh and blood vibrated.
The rune of the real dragon coiled and encircled his right arm. The vivid dragon claws slowly stretched out and again, matching perfectly with Mu Chen’s five fingers.
At the same time, the rune of the real phoenix on Mu Chen’s back started to move. It flowed underneath the skin’s surface and appeared on Mu Chen’s left arm.
The real phoenix slowly expanded its wings. Eventually, the purple-gold wings merged with Mu Chen’s left hand.
“Real dragon on the right, and real phoenix on the left!”
Purple-golden light emitted from both of Mu Chen’s arms at that moment. The light looked like it was made out of purple-gold metal, and it possessed a destructive and daunting power. His blood and muscles that ran along his arms could not stop vibrating.
Boom!
The Real Dragon and Real Phoenix surfaced on both of Mu Chen’s arms. Meanwhile, in the sky, Lu Sui maxed out the force that he had gathered. He then looked hideously at Mu Chen, who was below him. Without any hesitation, his palm struck out forcefully.
“Destructive Thunder Seal!”
As he stuck his palm down, the Thunder Seal burst! The roaring of the surrounding thunders was suppressed by it, then the Thunder Seal transformed itself into an enveloping thunderbolt. It then exploded the void, pressing down on Mu Chen at the speed of lightning.
The surrounding supreme talents moved even further back, when they saw this. They knew how dangerous Lu Sui’s offense was, so they definitely did not want to get involved!
The vast Thunder Seal pressed down with a destructive shadow. In the center of the shadow stood Mu Chen, merely a tiny-looking figure amid its vast darkness.
Amid surrounding gazes, Mu Chen lifted his head to look at the suppressing Thunder Seal. He then closed both of his eyes at the same time, the purple-gold light on both of his arms growing brighter and more radiant.
Roar!
The cry of the dragon and phoenix resounded in Mu Chen’s body. His flesh, blood, and even his bones vibrated. His aura increased crazily, apexing at to its maximum.
Suddenly, Mu Chen then raised him arm and punched outward.
“Real Dragon Fist!”
Radiant gold light spurt out and transformed into a purple-golden dragon light. The golden dragon roared, shaking the earth!
“Real Phoenix Palm!”
When Mu Chen swung his right fist, his left palm followed through and struck out hard. A loud phoenix cry resounded throughout the sky, as a golden light burst out. The golden phoenix stretched out its wings, flapped, then swept forth a golden windstorm.
The golden dragon and golden phoenix then transformed into two light rainbows and shot out into the sky. They intertwined with each other, and the golden light shook, bursting the void apart.
The rest of the supreme talents were shocked. They watched the coiling of the golden dragon and phoenix, utterly astounded. A daunting oppression emanated from it, sending shivers up their spines.
“How could Mu Chen’s offense contain an aura from the real dragon and real phoenix?!” Some of the supreme talents exclaimed in wonder.
Looks of disbelief were exchanged everywhere. The real dragon and real phoenix were considered to be legendary among the clans!
Lu Sui also had a stunned look in his eyes, but killing intent also surged in his eyes. He did not care why there was a real dragon and real phoenix aura in Mu Chen’s attack, as this did not change his mind about Mu Chen whatsoever.
Instead, it only served to strengthen his killing intent towards Mu Chen! After all, since Mu Chen had made himself such an enemy, it would be better to slaughter and kill him, thus leaving all troubles with him behind!
“Suppress kill!”
Lu Sui gave a low groan. The Thunder Seal that was pressing down on Mu Chen then released a majestic aura, while thunderbolts exploded non-stop, shaking the earth violently.
Everyone watched with shock, as the Thunder Seal pressed down and the golden dragon and phoenix transformed into golden rainbows, charging upwards into the sky. The two of them then collided quite hard!
Boom!
The moment they collided, an eye-striking light burst out, causing everyone to squint their eyes. Lu Sui also had a huge change in his expression, as he saw that the Thunder Seal, which was suppressed, had slowed down gradually, then eventually stopped.
“Was it blocked?” Lu Sui wondered aloud, his eyes narrowed.
Boom!
The Thunder Seal shook, and a cracking sound was heard. On the surface of the Thunder Seal, tiny cracks could be seen, as it was taking shape very quickly. Within seconds, the cracks spread across the Thunder Seal, as a golden light slowly emitted from the cracks.
Then, all of a sudden, Lu Sui’s face turned ghostly pale. He then quickly made the decision to retreat.
Boom!
Just as he moved back, the gigantic Thunder Seal exploded! Thunderbolts were everywhere, and a ray of golden light shot straight at Lu Sui!
Amid the golden light, the golden dragon roared and the golden phoenix cried. The aura from the real dragon and real phoenix almost froze Lu Sui’s blood flow in his body.
Bang!
The speed of the Golden Dragon Golden Phoenix’s light was so fast, it was impossible for Lu Sui to evade it. He could only watch helplessly, as the golden light forcefully hit his body.
Upon its impact, Lu Sui spurt out a mouthful of fresh blood. His chest almost collapsed, and his body was thrown back. The surrounding spiritual energy fluctuation then disappeared quickly. He was badly injured.
After Lu Sui was so severely injured, the golden light rainbow was drained with energy. Eventually, it burst into the sky, like stardust.
While he was still in a daze, a ghostly figure darted out from below him. Accompanied by a swift and fierce force, Lu Sui’s head was pounced upon. At the same time, a sense of killing intent surged throughout the space.
Sensing the killing intent, Lu Sui felt a chill run up his spine. He knew that it must be Mu Chen, but he did not expect that Mu Chen would so ruthless as to leave him no room to breathe! Given his severely injured body, he would be killed by Mu Chen, should Mu Chen continue to pester him as such!
“Ba*tard!”
Lu Sui quivered in shock and anger, groaning furiously. With a great sense of injustice in his heart, he flitted away from the Thunder Cloud Tower.
Weng!
As he retreated from the Thunder Cloud Tower, the light around his body flickered and disappeared, along with his figure. Apparently, he had been kicked out of the Body-refining Tower, thus losing his chance to advance.
“Mu Chen, I will shred you into pieces!”
Lu Sui’s raging threat echoed all the way back to the tower.
Mu Chen stood in midair, watching Lu Sui disappear, his cold eyes. He did not care about Lu Sui’s empty threatening words. Mu Chen then walked back to the Thunder Cloud Tower.
The region was silent when he returned. The rest of the supreme talents looked at him with wary eyes.
Mu Chen lifted his head and swept his gaze across the remaining supreme talents, his eyes expressionless. He finally locked his gaze on to Zong Teng, who was facing Ink Blade with an angry-looking face.
With a calm voice, he then said, “Anyone else like to give it a try?”
Mu Chen stood with his hands at the back, his voice projecting throughout the tower. It was soft, but it still struck fear in the hearts of everyone.
All eyes flickered. A few supreme talents, who were eager to strike, decided to step back in the end, as the current Mu Chen did not display any signs of weakness after the fierce fight. Instead, he seemed to be even more dangerous than before!
They knew that Mu Chen was fired up now, which meant that he would be hard to deal with. Out of the five seats, he would definitely take one of them!
