Chapter 962 - True Phoenix Pressure
In the Great Havenlaw Domain, many experts couldn’t help changing their expressions at this scene, since they felt a deathly scent from that purple light.
If they weren’t wrong, if that purple light came for them, then they definitely would not be able to dodge it and only death would await them!
“This must be a Perfect Rank Divine Art!” Some experts trembled with revere and envy on their faces. Mu Chen was indeed the Overlord amongst the Northern Region’s younger generations to even possess a Perfect Rank Divine Art. It was no wonder why he had no fear when facing experts much stronger than him.
Anyone could tell that Mu Chen’s attack was something that even Sixth Grade Sovereigns would not dare to receive head-on!
Before the Reception Palace, when Elder Tianque saw the sky turning dark, an aged lustre flashed in his eyes. Mu Chen had clearly exceeded his expectations for him to be able to exhibit such a stunning fighting strength.
A Perfect Rank Divine Art was truly formidable, but the difficulty of cultivating it was also extremely high. Even if an ordinary person was lucky enough to possess such a Divine Art, they might not be able to successfully cultivate it.
However, not only was Mu Chen fortunate enough to obtain such a Divine Art, the important factor was that he even managed to cultivate it. Thus, it had proven that he was truly extraordinary.
When Elder Tianque saw this scene, he had also slightly raised Mu Chen’s position in his heart. The contempt, which he had previously, had slightly retracted. At the very least, Mu Chen was somewhat capable in his view and not a person that required Nine Nether’s shelter.
“Although this art is powerful, don’t underestimate the genius of my Nine Nether Clan...”
Although he knew that this Divine Art of Mu Chen’s was formidable, Elder Tianque wasn’t too worried. But in terms of foundation, their Nine Nether Bird Clan had surpassed the Great Havenlaw Domain. Therefore, they naturally had a Perfect Rank Divine Art in their collection and Liu Qing had once given a great contribution, and thus, obtained a Perfect Rank Divine Art and even managed to succeed in cultivating it as well.
As thoughts circulated in the heart of Elder Tianque, Liu Qing was looking at the purple light with a grave expression in the sky. Shortly after, he took in a deep breath and the disapproval in his eyes had already disappeared.
He never thought that Mu Chen’s counterattack would be so powerful!
The latter was only at the Fifth Grade Sovereign Realm. But the moment he attacked, even a Sixth Grade Sovereign like him would feel his heart turning cold. This human which Nine Nether had formed Bloodlink Bond with was truly extraordinary.
However, even if that brat was extraordinary, if he thought that he, Liu Qing, could be so easily dealt with, then Mu Chen would be too naïve. You have a Perfect Rank Divine Art; well, so do I!
Liu Qing’s gaze flickered and in the next instant, his eyes had become solemn as his hands swiftly joined together and afterimages fluttered, forming ancient seals.
Along with his seals changing, a dazzling spiritual light exploded from his surrounding as the scarlet flames blazed on the massive Nine Netherflame Bird beneath him. In just a few breaths’ time, the flames had already turned into a sphere of flames that was few thousand feet high. Looking from afar, it was like a blazing sun.
Liu Qing’s silhouette stood at the centre of the flaming sun.
As the profound and mysterious purple light shot through space, it was already approaching in a breath. But also at this moment, the massive flaming sun that enveloped Liu Qing rapidly shrank at an astonishing speed.
In that short period of time, the massive sun that was a few thousand feet in size had already shrunk down to the size of a human head and hovered above Liu Qing’s palm.
This scene had caused the brows of many Great Havenlaw Domain’s experts to uncontrollably twitch because they could sense the terrifying destructive power contained in that scarlet flaming ball.
Liu Qing looked at the flaming sphere in his palm. The sphere was scarlet with the surface covered with ancient runes. The entire sphere was condensed to a red flaming crystal sphere that contained a destructive power.
“Heavenly Flame Divine Art - Great Fire Divine Pearl!” Liu Qing’s eyes gradually turned sharp as he slowly raised his hand and a cold voice slowly resounded from his mouth.
“Go!”
Buzz!
The crystallised sphere trembled and, in the next instant, it had turned into a scarlet light that burst out. The scarlet light had directly pierced through space and streaked a flame in the sky. Thereafter, under innumerable astonished gazes, it clashed with the dark-purple divine light that shot over.
Rumble!
In that instant when the two forces clashed, an earth-shattering noise resounded. Thereafter, visible shock waves swiftly wreaked havoc as they spread out, causing even the void sky to collapse.
Initially, the construct below would also be reduced to ashes under the shock wave, but Mandala was already prepared to make her move. Flicking her finger, a layer of spiritual light enveloped the whole construct. The spiritual light seemed weak, but not even an all-out attack from both Mu Chen and Liu Qing could shake it...
Mu Chen and Liu Qing were both struck by the terrifying shock wave, before the former’s silhouette moved. His figure, which stood on the head of the Great Solar Undying Body, started to sink into the Great Solar Undying Body.
Liu Qing stomped his feet and the massive wings of the Nine Netherflame Bird sheltered the front like a huge shield with scarlet blazing flames on it.
Boom!
The terrifying shock wave struck the two colossi and the Great Solar Undying Body’s lustre instantly darkened, while its massive body was forcefully sent back. Every step it took would leave a huge mark on the space down below and the ground below had collapsed a huge patch.
Liiii!
The flaming feathers of the Nine Netherflame Bird constantly shattered as a sharp cry endlessly resounded. Its massive body was also dissolving the massive impacts by moving backwards.
The shock wave lasted for ten-odd breaths before it disappeared. The sky had already been restored to brightness, with the Great Solar Undying Body and Nine Netherflame Bird looking somewhat pathetic.
Boom!
When the shock wave dissipated, Liu Qing’s face was pale on the Nine Netherflame Bird, but there were lights flashing across his eyes, before the Nine Netherflame Bird burst out with torrential flames as it pounced towards the Great Solar Undying Body.
However, facing Liu Qing, Mu Chen showed no signs of retreating. His thoughts revolved and the Great Solar Undying Body took a step out while its golden palm had slammed towards the pouncing Nine Netherflame Bird.
The Nine Netherflame Bird clashed with both its wings as space trembled once again from the collision.
The two massive figures clashed together in the sky and every single contact would cause a metallic noise to resound, which was deafening.
Boom!
Another clash occurred and Liu Qing looked at Mu Chen, who had appeared on the head of the Great Solar Undying Body. At this moment, the latter’s face was a little pale. The previous clashes had clearly exhausted him quite a bit.
“What a troublesome opponent!”
Fighting intent surged in Liu Qing’s eyes. At this moment, he had already treated Mu Chen as someone on the same level as him. All the contempt had already disappeared completely and was replaced with a smear of admiration. After all, Mu Chen could fight with him to this level with his cultivation at the Fifth Grade Sovereign Realm. Just this alone, even he wasn’t able to accomplish this.
This was also the reason why the more he attacked, the more powerful they grew as well.
Therefore in this confrontation, Liu Qing’s tapped his feet and he soared into the sky with a pair of blazing wings unfolded behind him. At this moment, the spiritual energy in his body had grown even more powerful.
He flapped his wings and his figure had created afterimages, before he flew towards Mu Chen with a shocking bearing. He could tell how powerful Mu Chen’s Great Solar Undying Body was. If this battle carried on, who knew how long this battle would last. So he had quickly summoned out his original form with the intention of swiftly ending this battle.
“Since you want to end the battle so quickly, then let me accompany you!”
At this moment, Liu Qing’s speed was so extremely fast that it even caused Mu Chen’s countenance to slightly change. Shortly after, his eyes flickered, since he had seen through Liu Qing’s intention. Immediately, he contracted his eyes and stomped his feet. He had actually retreated and left the range of the Great Solar Undying Body.
“Haha, you’re pretty bold. But your speed is inferior to me!”
When Liu Qing saw Mu Chen’s actions, he instantly smiled as his wings jolted and his speed increased, wanting to take the initiative first.
“Really?!”
An arc rose on Mu Chen’s face and his seals suddenly changed. A golden light blossomed behind him and a brilliant phoenix cry resounded between the heavens and earth.
A pair of purple-golden phoenix wings unfolded behind Mu Chen. At the same time, a bizarre pressure had also spread out upon the unveiling of the phoenix wings.
It was the oppression that belonged to True Phoenixes.
When the oppression appeared, Liu Qing’s face had drastically changed with disbelief in his eyes for the first time. The pressure that swept over had actually caused his bloodline to tremble.
In terms of bloodline, the Nine Netherbird Clan possessed the bloodline of Phoenixes. That’s because the Undying Bird was a powerful variant of the Phoenix Clan.
Amongst the Spiritual Beasts and Divine Beasts, noble bloodlines possessed a special pressure that could somewhat suppress ordinary Spiritual Beasts or Divine Beasts.
Liu Qing’s bloodline was the Nine Netherflame Bird and could be considered as a Divine Beast. But at this moment, when it faced the pressure coming from the True Phoenix, even if the pressure was extremely faint, it had still left him in a somewhat sorry situation.
When Mu Chen saw Liu Qing going absent-minded, his gaze flashed before the phoenix wings behind him flapped and his figure had burst towards the latter like a streak of light. However, in that instant when he charged out, he had abruptly contracted his eyes.
That’s because an elderly silhouette had appeared before him, it was Elder Tianque.
Mu Chen frowned his brows as he said, “Elder Tianque? You...”
He stopped his words before he could finish them. He saw that Elder Tianque’s eyes were sparkling with light as he stared at him. Only after a brief moment did Elder Tianque speak out, word for word, “True—Phoenix—Pressure?”
