Chapter 703 - Dismissed

The ferocious crack stretched across the black plaza like a giant python. Many gazes were focused on this scene and they couldn’t help having their eyelids twitching.

Those experts that had an understanding about Luo Mang had grave gazes at this moment because, this was the first time that they had seen Luo Mang being at a disadvantage when competing for physical body dominance with a First Grade Sovereign youth.

This new Commander of the Nine Nether Palace was, indeed, no simple figure.

At the end of the crack, the black-clothed youth maintained a posture of having his fist out. His body was dazzling in the golden light, as if his body was forged with gold, emitting an indescribable might.

Many City Lords couldn’t control having their faces changed at this moment as they felt disbelief about Mu Chen sending Luo Mang flying with a punch that had the power of his physique.

Luo Mang truly had an impressive capability, since he could become the City Lord of the Demonic Python City, and also the undisputed leading figure amongst so many City Lords. But from the earlier clash, Mu Chen realised for the first time that despite pushing the Lightning God’s Physique to the limit, he was unable to suppress Luo Mang.

Ever since Mu Chen had cultivated the Lightning God’s Physique, he managed to obtain an advantage with his powerful physique when fighting with opponents of the same level. He wouldn’t be at a disadvantageous position even if he was facing opponents that were slightly stronger than him.

But, earlier, the effect achieved by the Lightning God’s Physique wasn’t as distinct as Mu Chen had thought. Clearly, the Body Refining Divine Art that Luo Mang practised wasn’t any weaker than the Lightning God’s Physique.

“Looks like there’s a need to cultivate an even more powerful Body Refining Divine Art.”

That thought flashed across Mu Chen’s heart. With his strength swiftly rising, the Lightning God’s Physique that he had achieved great success with was gradually not able to keep up with his footsteps. But, fortunately, the greatest fortune that was brought to him by the Lightning God’s Physique wasn’t the power of his physique, but the refinement of his body from the lightning in his cultivation process.

It had laid a solid foundation for Mu Chen in regards to his physique, so no matter what Body Refining Divine Art he was to cultivate in the future, he could achieve twice the effect. Based on this point alone proved that it was incomparable to the other Body Refining Divine Arts. After all, back then, the Lightning God’s Physique was even commended by the Northern Sea Dragon.

Boom!

When that thought flashed across Mu Chen’s heart, fragments of stone shot out from the other end of the crack. Shortly after, a violent Spiritual Energy swept out as Luo Mang’s figure appeared once again.

Right now, his clothes were tattered, revealing his robust body that was similar to a rock. On his body, there was a giant python tattoo twisting around his body, an emitting eeriness from the blackness.

Luo Mang’s face was somewhat dark at this moment as he fixed his gaze at Mu Chen, before he coldly said, “Indeed worthy of being the Commander of the Nine Nether Palace. To have such a powerful physique with your cultivation only being at the First Grade Sovereign.”

Mu Chen faintly smiled.

“However…” Luo Mang’s voice paused for a brief moment as his gaze turned eerie. “If you want us to pledge our allegiance to the Nine Nether Palace, my Demonic Python City will be the first to disagree!”

When he spoke out, he had undoubtedly caused a commotion. It looked like Mu Chen had truly angered Luo Mang. Right now, he did not even bother with procrastinating words and straightforwardly disagreed.

But facing his words, Mu Chen’s golden pupils were rather calm. Clearly, this wasn’t unexpected for him. He cast a glance at Luo Mang. “Then, I will also clearly inform you that you have been removed from the position of the Demonic Python City. So you no longer have any qualifications to represent the Demonic Python City.”

“Big talk!”

Luo Mang laughed in anger as his eyes became filled with a violent killing intent. He had risen his murderous intentions for Mu Chen in his heart. He never thought that the latter would be so ruthless. Not only did he want to seize the Demonic Python City, he was even trying to dismiss him from the position of City Lord.

Luo Mang heavily stomped his feet and the ground below cracked. A violent Spiritual Energy swept out like a hurricane. A huge jet-black figure slowly formed around him.

A blacklight circulated on the surface of the gigantic figure. It was like a large Demonic Python shrouding the figure with sharp hissing sounds coming from it, causing the Spiritual Energy in this region to shake.

The gigantic figure that had the large Demonic Python twisting around it was staring at Mu Chen with its eerie snake-like pupils as a hissing voice resounded, “I will see what qualifications you have to dismiss me today!”

“That’s the Demonic Python Celestial Body? It is said that Luo Mang had killed a heavily injured Sky Demonic Python and devoured its blood essence, integrating it into his body. Thus, refining this Demonic Python Celestial Body. Although it isn’t in the 99 Rankings of Sovereign Celestial Bodies, the might is comparable to them.” When everyone saw the gigantic figure with a Demonic Python twisted around it, they instantly raised an uproar.

Some people couldn’t help exclaiming out. After all, this method of cultivation utilised by Luo Mang was hazardous. Integrating two utterly different bloodlines would definitely cause rejections. If it was carelessly handled, the body would directly explode. It looks like Luo Mang had some luck to be able to endure that and even refined the Demonic Python Celestial Body.

“He does have some knack.”

Mu Chen raised his head, looking at the gigantic figure that had a Demonic Python twisted around it. A smear of astonishment had flashed across his eyes, since this Luo Mang did have some capabilities to be able to refine such an abnormal Sovereign Celestial Body.

“You want to get your face back by relying on your Sovereign Celestial Body?” Mu Chen lightly smiled, but there wasn’t any warmth in his smile. He put both of his hands together and formed a weird seal.

“I’ll let you know that regarding physical bodies, you’re inferior. Regarding Sovereign Celestial Bodies…”

“You’re even more inferior!”

When the last word fell, a dazzling golden light abruptly burst out from his head and a massive golden figure, along with a terrifying pressure, instantly appeared in this region.

The massive figure stood between the heavens and earth with a blazing sun behind its head. It was shining with golden light, and every single corner of its body was like a golden Buddha, possessing matchless prestige.

Boom! Boom!

With the appearance of the Sovereign Celestial Body, the Spiritual Energy in the surrounding region was like a tidal wave as it swept out. The golden Sovereign Celestial Body was reflected in everyone’s eyes, raising their astonishments.

“Who are you trying to fool with that act!” Luo Mang roared. Although he felt disbelief from the pressure that was emitted from Mu Chen’s Sovereign Celestial Body, if he retreated at this moment, it would be tough to turn the situation around again.

“Demonic Python Seal!”

Luo Mang no longer gave Mu Chen any more time to intimidate him and issued a bark. A pitch-black light soared across the horizon and the Demonic Python that was twisted around the gigantic figure flew away. When it's large body was coiled, there was a Demonic Python light seal that was pressing down towards the Sovereign Celestial Body that looked to be forged with gold.

Mu Chen’s gaze was looking at the suppressing Demonic Python light seal with an indifferent look. There weren’t any signs of dodging; instead, a golden palm stretched out.

A golden light burst forth from the palm, looking like a blazing golden sun.

Bang!

The golden palm penetrated through the obstruction of violent Spiritual Energy and ruthlessly grabbed ahold of the huge figure of the Demonic Python. As the dazzling golden light swept out, the black light was completely suppressed.

“A trash snake dares to speak of suppressing others?!”

Mu Chen’s robust voice resonated throughout this region as a palm slammed down, bringing down the hissing python as it fell. The golden palm was like a golden mountain as it heavily suppressed python’s massive body.

Boom!

The earth cracked as the Demonic Python hissed. It was heavily sent into the ground with a palm strike, then it smashed and scattered.

Hisss.

Countless people inhaled the surrounding chilled air because no one imagined that the ferocious attack from Luo Mang would be scattered from a palm strike from Mu Chen.

Why is the Sovereign Celestial Body refined by that fellow so powerful?!

When the Demonic Python scattered, the Sovereign Celestial Body that was formed by Luo Mang trembled and disbelief surged from his heart. Earlier, when they were confronted with physical bodies, he could at least maintain the situation. But now that he had summoned his Sovereign Celestial Body, he was so thoroughly defeated?

“Damn it, what Sovereign Celestial Body has that bastard refined to be so powerful?!” Luo Mang’s face was dark and couldn’t help howling in his heart.

“Now, I will let you witness my qualifications!”

After scattering the Demonic Python light seal with a single palm strike, Mu Chen’s golden pupils were directed at Luo Mang as the massive figure soared into the sky. A dazzling golden light was unleashed and could be seen from anywhere within a hundred miles.

The violent Spiritual Energy ripples went rampant in the sky, looking like golden meteors falling down.

Luo Mang’s face was ugly as he looked at the horizon, which was covered in golden light. He suddenly looked at the City Lords of Blood Vulture City and Black Cliff City and said in a sharp voice, “Act together with me!”

The City Lords of Blood Vulture City and Black Cliff City exchanged a look. Shortly after, they could only clench their teeth as they stomped their feet and abruptly soared into the sky.

Buzz!

But when the two people soared towards the sky, there was an abnormal Spiritual Energy fluctuation spreading out. Countless people couldn’t help shrinking their eyes as they saw six black lotuses descending from the sky, turning into two massive rays of light that were like falling meteors and ruthlessly clashed against the bodies of those two City Lords.

A terrifying Spiritual Energy wreaked havoc as the two City Lords that were intending to act were sent back to the ground.

Boom!

The golden meteors fell at this moment, and the Sovereign Celestial Body was seen descending, as well, with a golden sun in its palm thrust before it.

It was directed at Luo Mang.

A terrifying pressure shrouded over as the earth below crumbled by inches. Luo Mang’s face had also drastically changed at this moment, since he had distinctly felt how terrifying this attack by Mu Chen was.

“It’s not so easy for you to defeat me!”

Luo Mang roared with a savage expression as he raised both of his palms. The Spiritual Energy within his body burst out without holding anything back. The pitch-black Spiritual Energy was like ink, darkening the sky as it lifted violent gales throughout this region.

Although his Sovereign Celestial Body wasn’t as powerful as Mu Chen’s, his strength was still the Pinnacle of Second Grade Sovereign. With a Spiritual Energy that was more robust than Mu Chen’s, he wasn’t afraid of the two parties clashing.

At most, both sides would suffer!

As long as he could obstruct Mu Chen’s drive, then today’s matters would be left unsettled!

Boom!

The golden sun descended as it heavily clashed against the torrential pitch-black Spiritual Energy that was like a Sky Demonic Python under countless startled gazes.

Everyone had their eyes widened at this moment as the outcome would probably be determined from this exchange!
