BXBX NOVEL Chapter 1343 - Obstruction
In the corner of the Sacred Abyss Continent
Space distorted and several silhouettes appeared. They looked at the darkened sky and couldn’t help feeling relieved. The Primordial Sacred Abyss was akin to an ancient prison that made them feel pressured while being within it.
“Let’s go to Sacred Abyss City, first.” Mu Chen waved his hand. Celestial Chi Yan was still waiting for Luo Li’s good news.
Everyone nodded their heads. Compared to the Primordial Sacred Abyss, which was filled with dangers, being in Sacred Abyss City made them feel relaxed.
After everyone unleashed their speeds and left, they continued on for a few hours before the sky gradually brightened and the outline of a massive city could be gradually seen.
There were streaks of light constantly making their way over as well, moving from all directions before they landed at the gate of the city. The entire city was bustling with vitality.
As vitality flourished, compared to the Sacred Abyss that was desolate and covered in ruins, the sight of this made Mu Chen’s group feel relaxed.
Exchanging a look, they smiled before turning into streaks of light and fell by the gate of the city, then they entered the Sacred Abyss City once again.
The city was still as flourishing as always, with people coming back and forth. However, Mu Chen could sense that there was a peculiar flavor, since many of them had raised their heads and looked at another direction with complicated gazes.
Thus, Mu Chen’s group also curiously raised their heads. When they looked at the Demon Slayer Plaque standing at the centre of the city, their feet paused when they saw the top of the plaque. Even their expressions had become interesting.
“What’s that?” Long Xiang rubbed his eyes. He seemed to be seeing two Demon Slayer Kings, one of them being Mu Chen.
Wen Qingxuan, Wen Ziyu and the rest also had shock covering their faces. A brief moment later, they abruptly turned their heads and stared at Mu Chen, “You don’t mean to tell me that you’re that Mu Chen on it, right?”
They were clear what being a Demon Slayer King represented. That’s an existence that stood at the top of the pyramid in the Great Thousand Palace, they’re even higher than Guests and Elders.
Facing a Demon Slayer King, even their Wen Clan would have to maintain their courtesy and respect.
Luo Li’s gaze was looking at Mu Chen with doubt in her eyes as well. Mu Chen had obtained his Demon Slayer Token at the same time as her, but she’s still a Low Rank Demon Slayer. So how did Mu Chen suddenly rise to the terrifying rank of the Demon Slayer King?
Mu Chen couldn’t help rubbing his face while bitterly smiling before telling everything how he killed the Blood Vampire Sky Monarch and even absorbing a strand of his soul into his Demon Slayer Token.
When everyone heard that, they were dumbfounded before they couldn’t help uttering out, “That works?”
Shrugging his shoulders, Mu Chen replied, “From the looks of it, it seems possible...”
Wen Qingxuan and the rest exchanged looks. Although Mu Chen’s method was a little cheat, not everyone could replicate what he did. Just like how there were four soul fragments of four different Sky Monarchs, but only Mu Chen had accomplished this feat.
But... Mu Chen’s cultivation was still a little too low.
“You’ve really broken the Great Thousand Palace’s history... The Great Thousand Palace never had such a weak Demon Slayer King in its history.” Wen Qingxuan teased.
Mu Chen also helplessly smiled. At that moment, he was just trying to see if it would work, he never expected that it really would.
“But we still have to see if the Great Thousand Palace recognises that.” Luo Li said.
Everyone nodded their heads. If the Great Thousand Palace didn’t recognise that, then Mu Chen’s title as the Demon Slayer King would probably be stripped.
However, Mu Chen wasn’t too bothered about this. He just wanted to give it a try, and if the Great Thousand Palace didn’t recognise it, it would save him some trouble...
While everyone was speaking, they had already arrived before the majestic Great Thousand Pavilion and entered.
The Great Thousand Pavilion was still bustling as always, but Mu Chen could vaguely hear that everyone was discussing the new Demon Slayer King.
That left him a little helpless before he shook his head. He never thought that his curiosity would cause such a commotion, and there must be many Demon Slayers trying to look at him, the new Demon Slayer King...
“Haha, isn’t this our new Demon Slayer King?!”
When Mu Chen intended to quietly enter, a burst of teasing laughter rang out, causing the entire Great Thousand Pavilion to turn silent and countless gazes gathered on Mu Chen.
“He’s the new Demon Slayer King, Mu Chen?!”
“But... why is he only a Quasi-Perfected Earth Sovereign?!”
“How did that fellow become the Demon Slayer King?”
“......”
The silence was briefly paused before the pavilion went into an uproar and countless gazes gathered onto Mu Chen. All of them were suspecting whether his title as the Demon Slayer King was real.
Suddenly becoming the focal point, Mu Chen glanced at Celestial Chi Yan, who wore a sourly playful smile. He then brought Luo Li and the rest over and impolitely asked, “Do you not want the Ancient Spirit Channeling Light?”
Celestial Chi Yan’s eyes lit up before he looked at Luo Li with joy on his face. “You really succeeded?”
Although he knew that Luo Li had a good chance of succeeding, he wasn’t sure. Thus, Celestial Chi Yan’s face was covered in joy.
Luo Li did not reply, but looked at Mu Chen with a smile.
“Fine, you two brats are trying to bully this old man.” Seeing Luo Li’s gaze of wanting to helping Mu Chen, Celestial Chi Yan became a little furious before he turned around and hollered, “All of you, shut up!”
With a trace of pressure that belonged to a Heavenly Sovereign emanating, the entire Great Thousand Pavilion turned quiet. No matter how prideful they were, they would only shrink their heads back facing a Heavenly Sovereign.
After suppressing the commotion, Celestial Chi Yan rubbed his hands and chuckled towards Luo Li.
Seeing his response, Luo Li smiled as she nodded. “Fortunately, I did not disappoint and managed to obtain the Great Spirit Ancestor’s inheritance.”
Celestial Chi Yan felt greatly relieved. Their Ancient Spirit Clan had been shrouded by this matter for years, and finally, it could be resolved...
“Since that’s the case, let us go. Luo Li, follow this old man to the Ancient Spirit Clan, and from today onwards, you will be the Holy Maiden of my Ancient Spirit Clan!” Celestial Chi Yan waved his hand as he spoke.
Hearing that Celestial Chi Yan wanted to take her to the Ancient Spirit Clan, wouldn’t that mean that she would have to leave Mu Chen again? That caused her to be briefly stunned, and just when she was about to speak, a peal of cold laughter rang out from the Great Thousand Pavilion.
“You want to leave? How would it be that easy?!” Everyone in the Great Thousand Pavilion directed their gazes at the source of the laughter and saw a group of people entering with ferocious auras, with the two Heavenly Sovereigns leading them, Hei Guang and Mo Yin.
Behind them, Xuan Luo and Mo Xin followed with the two of them looking at Mu Chen with sinister gazes.
The two Heavenly Sovereigns also fixated their eyes on Mu Chen before they swiftly came over and unleashed their Heavenly Sovereign pressure, which made Mu Chen feel extremely heavy.
Mu Chen’s gaze turned cold, looking at Xuan Luo and Mo Xin. Clearly, this was something that the two of them came up with.
“Heh, two shameless old bastards trying to bully a younger generation?” An old figure stood before Mu Chen and resisted the Heavenly Sovereign pressure coming from Hei Guang and Mo Xin.
It was clearly Celestial Chi Yan.
“Chi Yan, this matter concerns our Ancient Buddha Clan, it has nothing to do with you!” Hei Guang said with a dark expression.
Elder Mo Yin also eerily looked at Mu Chen as he hollered, “Brat, hand over the Eight-Divisional Pagoda obediently, if you know what’s good for you. Otherwise, we will take you back to the clan for punishment!”
Mu Chen mocked, “You guys can’t obtain the Pagoda Ancestor’s acknowledgment, who can you blame for failing?”
Hearing those words, Xuan Luo and Mo Xin’s faces turned extremely ugly.
Elder Mo Yin responded with a solemn voice, “Ancestor was trying to comfort you for killing the demon. But that Eight-Divisional Pagoda isn’t something that belongs to you!”
“Mo Yin, your face is really thick. If that Pagoda Ancestor knew about this, he would probably come back from death due to the anger alone.” Celestial Chi Yan sighed.
Hearing Celestial Chi Yan’s ridicule, Elder Mo Yin’s eyelids twitched before he looked at Celestial Chi Yan with a dark expression then slowly said, “Chi Yan, you intend to interfere in this matter?”
“Mu Chen is someone that I have brought over, so I can’t allow you guys to take him away.” Celestial Chi Yan sneered as he spoke without any hesitation after hearing Mo Yin’s voice.
Mo Yin and Hei Guang exchanged a look before a chilling light flashed in their eyes. Today, they had to take Mu Chen away, no matter what. The Eight-Divisional Pagoda cannot fall into his hands!
“Since that’s the case...” The Heavenly Sovereign aura was no longer concealed, but exploded, causing the sky of Sacred Abyss City to turn dark. “The two of us can only take the sinner away forcefully!”
