Chapter 1553: A King in the Next EncounterTranslator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

The deafening cheering reverberated between the heavens and the earth in the Northern Heaven Spiritual Academy. All the disciples were red-faced with excitement, their gazes ecstatic. They looked at the slender figure and were full of indescribable admiration.

During this period of time, they had all lived under the Extraterritorial Race’s threat and had not had a moment of peace. However, who could have guessed that at this critical juncture, such an unexpected twist would occur. The Black Corpse Heaven Demon Emperor, who had been near-invincible in their eyes, became as fragile as an ant in the hands of their senior and had been instantly destroyed.

All the teenagers were exhilarated and raring to go. Lifelong cultivation was not just for protecting the people and things they loved and cared about, it also enabled them to stand up at this moment, to turn the tide, and be admired by thousands of people!

“See?! See?! I told you, as long as Senior Mu Chen is around, the Black Corpse Heaven Demon Emperor and whatnot must kneel!” Sun’Er exclaimed in excitement, and she looked proudly at the members of the Goddess Luo Association with her hands on her hips.

“Elder Sister Sun’Er truly foretold this moment with miraculous accuracy!” Before that, the people were still exasperated at Sun’Er’s blind faith. But now, they all gave her a thumbs up and expressed their admiration.

“Haha, we’ll see who else dares to fight with our Goddess Luo Association in the future!”

The other disciples in the Northern Heaven Spiritual Academy were staring at them with burning envy. After all, with this war today, from now on, the Goddess Luo Association would always be the top club in the Northern Heaven Spiritual Academy. No matter how many years passed, there would be no change.

Even after they graduated from the Northern Heaven Spiritual Academy and ventured into the Great Thousand World, as long as they said they used to belong to the force that Mu Chen created, and that Mu Chen was their senior, they would cause an uproar wherever they went. Some smart teenagers were thinking that after the Spiritual Academy regained peace, they would find an opportunity to join the Goddess Luo Association.

“This guy…” Shen Cangsheng, Li Xuantong, and Wen Qingxuan gradually returned to their senses from the shock and looked at each other. They could not help but smile bitterly, for Mu Chen now was beyond their perception. They were still pursuing becoming Heavenly Sovereigns, but at this point, they realized that Mu Chen had already exceeded the level they desired. They had no courage to catch up with such a huge gap.

“When I was in the Northern Heaven Spiritual Academy, how could I not see that this guy could do so much?” Li Xuantong sighed. He shifted his glance to look at the beautiful figure in the sky. His gaze was faint and dim. In the past, no one had thought that Mu Chen would attain so much, except Luo Li. Others thought she had only found a humble stone on the beach. Only she always believed that the stone would be more dazzling than any diamond.

Shen Cangsheng patted Li Xuantong on the shoulder and looked at him with some sympathy. How could he not know that this guy had been secretly in love with Luo Li from the start? But unfortunately, he would never have a chance.

Wen Qingxuan also sighed. In the past, she had always felt that Mu Chen was not worthy of the dazzling Luo Li, but at this moment, she had to say that the teenager who had competed with them in the Spiritual Academy Competition had grown up enough to be looked up to. He was no longer the teenager of the past, he was now a king.

The Northern Sea Dragon and Chief Tai Cang descended from mid-air. After the Black Corpse Heaven Demon Emperor’s death, the Demons Calamity ceased to exist. The destruction of their Northern Heaven Spiritual Academy was also averted. They smiled in relief.

The chiefs of the other four spiritual academies also smiled and gathered around to congratulate them. At the same time, they all had a touch of envy in their eyes. They knew that the Northern Heaven Spiritual Academy had produced an incredibly exceptional student.

From now on, a huge change was bound to happen in the Northern Heaven Spiritual Academy, and its reputation would spread throughout the world. Perhaps in the future, the Five Great Academies would be led by the Northern Heaven Spiritual Academy.

The whole heaven and earth’s originally dark atmosphere was eliminated, and now it was ringing with laughter.

Up in the air, Mu Chen waved his sleeves, as if to fan away the last wisps of demonic aura. He then looked down at his hands, stunned. Even he was shocked at the power he had used to annihilate the Black Corpse Heaven Demon Emperor in a snap. After all, before he had cultivated in seclusion, even if he did his best, he was only neck and neck with Maha Tian. But now, even if Maha Tian stood in front of him again, he wouldn’t be able to last a few rounds against Mu Chen, even if he relied on the power of the Maha Yin-Yang Vase.

Although he had not yet left his name on the Heaven’s Declaration List, he had been able to mobilize a trace of the World’s Power. Just this trace far exceeded that of a later-stage Divine Grade.

“I have not wasted these five years after all,” Mu Chen muttered to himself, then turned around, landing before Luo Li.

At this time, Luo Li was startled as she looked at him. She had not yet recovered from her shock. After all, the stronger one was, the more they could feel Mu Chen’s fearful strength.

“Earth to Luo Li.” Mu Chen reached out his hand and shook it in front of her eyes, laughing.

Luo Li’s beautiful gaze flickered as she rolled her eyes at Mu Chen. She wasn’t aware that with her beauty, just a casual glance was mesmerizing.

“I did great, right?” Mu Chen smirked, a little complacent. He would only reveal his cheeky side in the presence of his beloved.

“Yes, you did.” Luo Li nodded in exasperation and amusement.

“Tsk tsk, Mu Chen, you’re formidable now.” Behind them, a surprised exclamation rang out crisply as Lin Jing skipped over to them. She appraised Mu Chen and pouted. “I thought I’d caught up to you more over the years. I did not expect to be thrown so far behind by you.”

Xiao Xiao also approached. Her enchanting gaze appraised Mu Chen, too. She suddenly asked, “So you succeeded?” She was now aware of what Mu Chen had been doing during the five years of his disappearance.

Mu Chen stretched as he gazed deep into space and replied, “Almost. I just need to wait a little bit more.” At present, he had not really been named on the Heaven’s Declaration List, but by this step, he had already felt the list’s existence.

The four chatted for a while, and Mu Chen landed from a high altitude. Amid numerous glances of worship, Mu Chen came before Chief Tai Cang and Northern Sea Dragon. He looked at the two familiar faces and had mixed feelings. When he left the Northern Heaven Spiritual Academy, he was but a young man who had just stepped into the Sovereign level. But now, the youth had grown to be a future King of the Great Thousand World.

“Disciple Mu Chen, my greetings to Chief Tai Cang and Northern Sea Dragon.” Mu Chen clasped his fists together, greeting them respectfully.

Although his strength had now far exceeded the two elders’, Mu Chen still showed immense respect to Chief Tai Cang and Northern Sea Dragon. When he was still a disciple in the academy, they had taken good care of him. In particular, Northern Sea Dragon had imparted the Thunder God Physique to him. Over a period of time, the Thunder God Physique had helped him through many difficulties.

Seeing Mu Chen’s humble attitude, Chief Tai Cang and Northern Sea Dragon could not help but be gratified that the young man was not arrogant just because of his achievements today, but was still gentle and modest.

Shen Cangsheng, Li Xuantong, Wen Qingxuan, and Ye Qingling also gathered together. As they met each other, they naturally sighed with joy.

“Brother Mu Chen!” Sun’Er stood in front of Mu Chen and looked at him with a bright grin, her eyes twinkling.

“Little Sun’Er.” Looking at Sun’Er in front of him, Mu Chen was in a trance. He thought of when he had just joined the Northern Heaven Spiritual Academy. In his journey, he had met with a little girl dressed in white with a long ponytail, her small face full of grievances. And now, the little girl had grown up to be delicate and charming.

Mu Chen stretched out his palm, just like in the past, as he ruffled Sun’Er’s silky hair vigorously. This messed her hair up, causing her to pout. “I’m not a kid anymore!”

After playing with Sun’Er for a while, Mu Chen saw Tang Qian’Er standing to the side. She had tied back her hair and was no longer as playful as before. Her demeanor was demure. “Thank you, Sister Qian’Er. You crushed the jade talisman so that I could feel the space mark to rush here in time,” Mu Chen said with a smile.

Tang Qian’Er smiled gently, her beautiful eyes glancing at Mu Chen and Luo Li, who stood together. The two were brilliant, and one could not take their eyes off of them. “This time, it’s all thanks to you. Otherwise, our Million Phoenix Spiritual Academy would be in peril, too.” Tang Qian’Er sighed sadly. Some disciples of the Million Phoenix Spiritual Academy had been injured, and some even passed away as they fled to the Northern Heavens Continent. Mu Chen could only pat her on the shoulder to express comfort.

“Brother Mu Chen, are you leaving soon?” Sun’Er asked, as the crowd glanced over.

Feeling the nostalgic sentiment in everyone’s eyes, Mu Chen smiled. He looked up at the Northern Heaven Spiritual Academy, where he had once left his mark in those familiar places. “I will stay in the Northern Heavens Continent for a few days and thoroughly rid the world of the Extraterritorial Race here.”

Hearing Mu Chen’s words, a deafening cheer broke out again in the Northern Heaven Spiritual Academy. Seeing this, Mu Chen chuckled softly. At the same time, a delicate hand gently held his hand. He held it back tightly, staring at the sky, for he knew that this would be the calm before the storm, the last moment of peace before the final war.
