Heavenly Grade Spiritual Array, Heaven’s Divine Seal!

Under the suppression of the Heaven’s Divine Seal, a terrible fluctuation swept out, and suddenly, even the space shattered. The Divine Seal seemed to be only a few feet in size, but the pressure that emanated from it was so strong that it caused even Seventh Grade Sovereigns’ expressions to twist in fear.

This was a true Heavenly Grade Spiritual Array!

The first to bear the brunt of the Divine Seal’s suppression was Zong Huo. His face became extremely tense, and deep in his eyes, a touch of fear colored his gaze.

Now he had a clear sense of the power that seemed to emanate from the small seal before him, and that power was so terrifying that even though he was a Seventh Grade Sovereign, he could still feel the deadly danger.

It was common knowledge that although the Spiritual Array laid out by a Spiritual Array Master was powerful, it also has some defects. That was, it took time to prepare a powerful Spiritual Array. In a clash between truly powerful characters, it was that instant that determined the outcome, and in that case, a Spiritual Array Master would not pose the slightest threat.

However, the situation was now different. When Mu Chen appeared motionless on the platform, they still thought that he was only relying on Nine Nether to protect him, but he had actually quietly hidden the Spiritual Array under the earth.

Everyone knew how tricky it could be when a Spiritual Array Master had enough time… Now, Zong Huo was suffering the bitter consequences.

“A**hole!”

Zong Huo’s mind flashed swiftly like lightning, and finally he could only curse and gnash his teeth. He had to give up the panic in his heart and as he thought this, the spiritual energy in his body erupted unreservedly.

If he wanted to escape alive, then he had to give his all!

Crash!

The magnificent spiritual energy was like a volcano as it erupted from Zong Huo’s body. That spiritual energy transformed into shockwaves as it raged madly, detonating the air in the heavens and earth.

As the spiritual energy was fully triggered, a massive Roc ablaze with scarlet flames also emerged behind Zong Huo. As its wings fanned, a sea of fire permeated the sky.

Rumble!

Zong Huo’s expression was somber. With a shake of his spear, the Roc screeched shrilly, transforming into scarlet flames and sweeping down, completely fused together with the spear. On the surface of the spear, countless fire feathers emerged, and a terrible heat emanated, causing the space to twist and distort.

“Heavenly Roc Massacre!”

Zong Huo roared and no longer hesitated as he dealt a blow with his spear using all his might. In that instant, amid countless gazes, it clashed heavily on the suppressing Divine Seal.

Clang!

In the moment of impact, the air above the platform seemed to solidify. The next moment, an indescribable spiritual energy storm raged, tearing cracks in the Escort Platform beneath their feet.

Mu Chen looked calmly at the raging spirit storm as his seals suddenly changed. A faint voice chanted, “Heaven’s Demon Suppression!”

Boom!

As soon as his seals changed, the Divine Seal, which had been immobile due to Zong Huo’s scarlet flame spear, swelled rapidly. A few moments later, it had expanded to a thousand feet in size, enveloping close to half of the Escort Platform.

Moreover, along with the expansion of the Heaven’s Divine Seal, the towering mountains above it gradually showed the seal’s loftiness, and its majestic state made countless powerful people feel constrained.

As the Divine Seal changed, Zong Huo’s face turned pale, for he could perceive that this time, the power of repression from the Divine Seal had increased several times over.

Crack!

Above the scarlet flame spear, the fire feathers gradually exploded and shattered, and even the long spear gradually became bent, clearly unable to withstand the impact.

Sweat flowed down Zong Huo’s face in a stream, his face twisted, and a moment later, his hands finally loosened their grip on the long spear that was about to shatter. His body floundered and retreated.

Boom!

As he retreated, the scarlet flame spear was also completely crushed by the Divine Seal.

Spurt.

During the sudden retreat, Zong Huo spewed out a mouthful of blood as the spiritual energy fluctuations in his whole body were weakening. Apparently, he had suffered a serious blow. However, he still gritted his teeth, and his glare was ruthless. Although the Spiritual Array arranged by the Spiritual Array Master was powerful, once it dispersed, the Spiritual Array Master would be in his most vulnerable state. If he could find a chance, he only needed a single blow to kill Mu Chen.

However, in the distance, Mu Chen seemed to be aware of Zong Huo’s intention. The corners of his mouth curved into an icy smirk. Since he had dealt this move, he would not leave himself open to attack.

Mu Chen’s feet stomped, and he appeared in mid-air above the Divine Seal, which had not yet dissipated. He then dealt a blow on the Divine Seal amid Zong Huo’s horrified gaze.

Boom!

With a blow of his palm, the Divine Seal suddenly burst out like a massive mountain carrying a shadow. It descended heavily upon Zong Huo as he hurriedly retreated.

Zong Huo’s expression twisted in fear as the shadow shrouded him. He could only gnash his teeth as he infused spiritual energy into both arms and then brutally clashed with the seal, trying to push it away.

Boom!

However, when his hands made contact with the Divine Seal, his legs turned into jelly. He knelt down, and his knees pierced through the rock, embedding deep into it. The sound of broken bones in his arms rang out as they twisted into a ghastly angle.

That Divine Seal was truly like the burden of a towering Divine Mountain. That kind of weight was something he would be unable to bear!

Whoosh!

Mu Chen’s figure appeared above the Divine Seal, then he stomped down heavily. Suddenly the waves in the air rolled as the entire Divine Seal sank in deeper, with Zong Huo in a miserable state below it. His arms were broken as blood spewed out, staining his clothes red. He was utterly humiliated.

Upon seeing this, Mu Chen did not show any mercy or pity. His eyes were cold as he was about to stomp heavily again and completely cripple Zong Huo.

However, Zong Huo seemed to sense Mu Chen’s murderous intent and dared not hesitate further. He roared, and suddenly scarlet flames swept through, forcefully lifting up the Divine Seal.

Boom!

His hands hit the ground as blood spattered. The blood was like fire, and in a flicker, his figure appeared outside, a thousand feet away, and then he fell outside the Escort Platform.

Spurt.

As his figure fell, he spurted out another mouthful of blood. His hair was in disarray, and his previous confidence was torn to shreds. The fear and panic in his eyes made him look like a dog who had been abandoned.

When Zong Huo’s figure flopped off of the Escort Platform, an uproar burst out in the region. Many strong people from all the clans were looking at Mu Chen with shock, their gazes flickering. Apparently, they had not expected the human being, who seemed to be no more than a Sixth Grade Sovereign, to be so troublesome to deal with.

Among the Heavenly Roc Clan, the faces of Liu Ching and the others became steely when Zong Huo was first crushed by Mu Chen. Now, their expressions showed utter disbelief and gloominess.

Who could have expected that the situation in which they originally thought they would attain sure victory would suddenly turn into this…

“This brat actually turned out to be a Heavenly Grade Spiritual Array Master. How well-concealed!” A strong man of the Heavenly Roc Clan clenched his teeth and looked at Mu Chen with a hint of fear and wariness. If a Heavenly Grade Spiritual Array Master was ready, they could kill a Seventh Grade Sovereign effortlessly.

Liu Ching clenched her fists and gnashed her teeth. Her expression was pale but steely with rage, and she could not say a word.

As the many shocked glances converged, Mu Chen, who was standing on the Escort Platform, was still composed. He stomped his foot, and the Divine Seal gradually dissipated.

At the same time, he also raised his head and looked at Zong Teng, who was still entangled in a confrontation with Nine Nether, and said nonchalantly, “If you want to continue to stay here, then don’t blame me for making my move.”

When his voice fell, spiritual lights flew out of his sleeve, quickly integrating into this world. Immediately, lines of light appeared. It seemed as if a powerful Heavenly Grade Spiritual Array was about to take shape in the very near future.

In the sky, Zong Teng felt the sharp murderous intention radiating from below. His eyes narrowed as his expression could not help but become steely. Immediately, he lowered his head and looked meaningfully at Mu Chen, saying coldly, “I have really underestimated you this time.”

He had never thought Mu Chen was worthy before, but now he had come to realize that the latter may be a more dangerous threat to him than Nine Nether. No wonder Nine Nether was so confident.

Mu Chen was indifferent, and his expression was calm. The spiritual runes became more apparent as an overwhelming spiritual energy fluctuation gradually formed and took shape.

Phew.

Zong Teng took a deep breath, and a cold light flashed in his eyes. He was also a decisive man, knowing that in the face of Nine Nether and Mu Chen’s alliance, he did not have much chance of winning, so he immediately retreated.

“Your name is Mu Chen, right? I will remember it. If I have the chance, I will personally experience your Spiritual Array and hope that you will not disappoint me then.”

Zong Teng retreated, but his chilling voice was obviously extremely unwilling.

However, Mu Chen was not concerned about his threats. He looked up at Nine Nether and smiled, then looked away, glancing at the strong characters of the various clans who were covetous.

“Gentlemen, this Escort Platform belongs to I, Mu Chen. I wonder if any of you have any opinions?”

As he spoke, he flicked his finger. On the Escort Platform, there was a vast gathering of spiritual light, and among those numerous lines of light, no one knew exactly how many spiritual arrays were contained in them.

Those strong people of various clans saw the situation, and their eyes flashed, but eventually they gradually drew back. After all, there were ten Escort Platforms, and there was no need to struggle and challenge this terrifying opponent. Instead of taking the risk of fighting against Mu Chen and Nine Nether, it would be better to take advantage of the other Escort Platforms where a controller had not yet appeared.

After all, everyone knew that at present, the Escort Platform had basically been arranged as solid as gold. If they wanted to break through it forcefully, among the strong people present, there were very few people who had confidence they could achieve that feat.

Upon seeing this, Mu Chen’s heart heaved a quiet sigh of relief. Immediately, he looked up at Nine Nether and smiled gently. It seemed that no one would dare to fight for this Escort Platform now.

They had finally attained the quota for the Primordial Body-refining Tower.
