Chapter 824 - Narrow Victory

“Completed version of the Butchering Demonic Lotus Spiritual Array, activate!”

When the gentle voice resounded from within Mu Chen’s heart, the four floating black lotuses finally blossomed in the sky and a pitch-black light spread out, quietly emitting a dreadful fluctuation.

Anyone could sense the dreadful energy contained in the four black lotuses.

This was Mu Chen’s final move.

The completed version of the Butchering Demonic Lotus Spiritual Array was formed by four lotuses. In the past, Mu Chen’s strength was limited, so he could not form the four lotuses.

But, right now, along with the increase in Mu Chen’s strength, his attainments in the path of Spiritual Arrays grew deeper as well. Although he had rarely revealed his identity as a Spiritual Array after coming to the Great Havenlaw Domain, he did not slack in the cultivation of it. With his strength growing step by step, his attainments in the cultivation of Spiritual Arrays grew stronger as well.

He had been deeply concealing this matter, not even Nine Nether and Mandala knew about it. Unknowingly, Mu Chen’s attainments in Spiritual Arrays had reached a stunning height.

The completed version of the Butchering Demonic Lotus Spiritual Array was an Earth-Grade Spiritual Array. Amongst the Earth-Grade Spiritual Arrays, some powerful ones were something that not even a Fifth Grade Sovereign would dare to take it head-on, whereas the high grades ones could even confront Sixth Grade Sovereigns!

Spiritual Array Grandmasters were separated into three levels: Heaven, Earth and Human grade. Initially, Mu Chen’s attainments in Spiritual Arrays was just at the High Human-Grade Spiritual Array Grandmaster, with an extremely low chance of successfully laying out the completed version of the Butchering Demonic Lotus Array. But along with Mu Chen’s cultivation reaching the Fourth Grade Sovereign Realm, the growth in his Spiritual Energy made his Spiritual Array Master cultivation to rise as well.

Hence, making use of the Lesser Demon Heart State, he actually managed to achieve the completed version of the Earth-Grade Spiritual Array, the Butchering Demonic Lotus Spiritual Array!

When the four lotuses appeared, Mu Chen could hear the entire region suddenly turning quiet, with many experts being dumbfounded around the King’s Ceremony Stage. Even the various Kings had surprise on their faces, since this had exceeded their expectations.

They knew about Mu Chen’s other identity as a Spiritual Array Master, since he had revealed it to them before. But at that time, his cultivation on Spiritual Arrays wasn’t something to be feared.

But, right now, the Spiritual Array that was formed from four black lotuses made even them feel a little threatened. Therefore, their expressions had also started to turn grave.

Mu Chen’s strength at Fourth Grade Sovereign wasn’t anything to be feared. But if it was combined with his identity as an Earth-Grade Spiritual Array Grandmaster, not even the various Kings would dare to underestimate him.

“Impossible!”

Just as Qiu Taiyin roared in alarm, Mu Chen’s finger had already gently tapped the sky with a calm expression on his pale face.

Buzz!

When the four black lotuses blossomed, they inclined and aimed at the Great Yin Celestial Body, before a pitch-black light started to gather in the heart of the lotuses. Thereafter, the black lotuses trembled as four black pillars of light silently shot out.

The black pillars of light were filled with ancient runes, making them look profound and cryptic.

As the pitch-black pillars of light streaked across the horizon, there wasn’t anything extremely shocking caused by them. However, in the path of those light pillars, the space that was being torn did not restore for a long time.

“Shield of Great Yin!”

Every hair stood up on Qiu Taiyin’s body as his face became ashened. He swiftly formed some seals and his Spiritual Energy gushed out from his body without holding anything back. Black runes flickered on the surface of the Great Yin Celestial Body, before forming into a black ice shield.

Whoosh!

The four black pillars of light quietly flew over and crashed against the black ice shield under countless nervous gazes.

Creak! Creak!

There weren’t any sounds caused by the collision, but many people had abruptly narrowed their eyes. That’s because the black ice shield that seemed to possess an extremely powerful defensive capability couldn’t pose as an obstruction to the black lights.

It was as if the ice had encountered magma, and was immediately being melted, before being pierced through.

Qiu Taiyin looked at the four abnormal black beams of light that were about to pierce through the ice shield as fear appeared on his face. Before he could even react, the cold black beams of light had already penetrated the shield and ruthlessly struck the Great Yin Celestial Body under his terrified gaze.

The black beams of light pierced the Great Yin Celestial Body. Black cracks swiftly spread out from the piercing wound, before it enveloped the entire body of the Great Yin Celestial Body.

When the black cracks spread out, Qiu Taiyin’s face drastically changed. He could sense that the Great Yin Celestial Body was swiftly collapsing from the black cracks.

No matter how he tried to keep it under control, it was futile.

“How can this be?!” Qiu Taiyin roared in his heart. But it was a meaningless effort and everyone watch as the chill around the Great Yin Celestial Body dimmed in less than ten breaths’ time. The huge figure was also turning more transparent and faint, that was a sign that the Spiritual Energy could not maintain the Sovereign Celestial Body.

With the dissipating Spiritual Energy from the Sovereign Celestial Body, Qiu Taiyin’s face turned paler, since he was linked to the Sovereign Celestial Body. So, when the Sovereign Celestial Body’s Spiritual Energy started to disperse, he was heavily suffering from it as well.

A weak sensation spread out from Qiu Taiyin. His face was pale and he clearly did not expect the attack from Mu Chen’s Spiritual Array to be so bizarre. Although the black beams of light did not possess any destructive power, the bizarre ability to dissipate Spiritual Energy could be considered as fatal.

Boom!

The Great Yin Celestial Body become even fainter, before it exploded into black lights that burst in every direction when it couldn’t maintain itself any longer.

Pffft.

When the Sovereign Celestial Body exploded, Qiu Taiyin’s body abruptly jolted and he spewed a mouthful of blood. Even the Spiritual Energy around him was extremely depressed.

Up in the sky, Mu Chen indifferently looked at Qiu Taiyin, whose face was as pale as a sheet of paper, and formed seals. The four black lotuses swivelled, with the heart of the lotuses aimed at the latter and black beams of light gathering once again.

Watching this, Qiu Taiyin’s face flashed with fear, since he never expected Mu Chen to be able to execute that dreadful attack again. Since his Sovereign Celestial Body was destroyed, he would definitely be heavily injured if he was struck by that. Thus, he quickly burst in retreat as he barked, “Mu Chen, are you trying to exterminate me?!”

Mu Chen paid no attention as the pitch-black light swiftly gathered at the heart of the black lotuses.

“Bastard, I admit defeat!” Seeing Mu Chen filled with killing intent, Qiu Taiyin started to panic and quickly yelled.

Hearing Qiu Taiyin admitting defeat, an uproar burst out in this region once again. Many experts exchanged looks as they sighed and shook their heads. No one expected that Qiu Taiyin, who initially held the odds of success, to actually admit defeat.

Hearing Qiu Taiyin’s words, Mu Chen faintly smiled as his black hair swiftly returned to the original length and his pitch-black eyes returned normal as well. Along with Mu Chen exiting the Lesser Demon Heart State, his expression came back to life once again.

“Then, I have to thank Sect Master Qiu for letting me win.” Mu Chen smiled with his pale face as hints of mockery hung on the corner of his lips. Along with his voice, the four lotuses disappeared and the light in Mu Chen’s eyes had dimmed down as well. Anyone could tell that Mu Chen’s strength was extremely exhausted right now.

So, it turned out that his previous ruthless actions was just an act!

Many experts were dumbfounded, but that was shortly replaced with abnormal smiles on their faces. They looked at Qiu Taiyin, whose body was trembling from anger, with pity. That fellow was actually tricked by Mu Chen.

Judging from Qiu Taiyin’s current situation, although his Spiritual Energy was extremely diminished, he still possessed slight bit of fighting power. Whereas Mu Chen was entirely exhausted, and if the battle had continued, Mu Chen could only admit defeat.

After all, he had just stepped into the Fourth Grade Sovereign Realm, so the Spiritual Energy in his body had not been stabilised yet. Therefore, his battle of endurance was naturally inferior than Qiu Taiyin’s.

But, no one had expected that the exhausted Mu Chen would use such an act to scare Qiu Taiyin into admitting defeat.

Many experts exchanged looks as they sighed and shook their heads.

A deep laughter rang out in the plaza as Qiu Taiyin looked at Mu Chen with his body trembling. Hearing those waves of laughter nearly made him burst with rage. He could only imagine that after today’s matters spread out, it would be a huge blow to his reputation.

“Little bastard, you’re courting death!”

Qiu Taiyin’s eyes turned red as the rage in his heart had diluted his rationale. He let out a roar and clenched his fist, causing a white jade bamboo strip to appear in his hand. The jade bamboo was engraved with extremely complicated runes and an extremely violent Spiritual Energy fluctuation was emanating from it.

Whoosh!

Qiu Taiyin wore a ferocious expression as his arm trembled. The milky-white jade bamboo strip flew out and exploded, causing the violent Spiritual Energy to wreak havoc as it formed into a Spiritual Energy lion that was brandishing its claws, charging towards Mu Chen.

A dreadful Spiritual Energy fluctuation rippled around the lion that caused the various Kings to have a change in their expression.

“Sky Profound Lion Seal?!” The Three Emperors had lights shooting out of their eyes as their expressions turned cold. That’s because the Sky Profound Lion Seal was a secret art that belonged to the Sky Profound Palace. Only the core members of the Sky Profound Palace were entitled to possess it.

As the huge lion appeared before Mu Chen, the dreadful Spiritual Energy pressure practically made him appear like an ant before it as the lion’s maw closed in on him. It was an attack that even a Fifth Grade Sovereign would definitely die from!

And Mu Chen’s strength was already exhausted right now, so he could only watch as the Spiritual Energy lion’s mouth swiftly expanded in his eyes.

Boom!

But just when the lion was about to touch Mu Chen, all the commotion in this region had disappeared and it became quiet.

Thereafter, Mu Chen could sense the lion, which was pouncing over, had frozen and his tensed heart had also loosened up when he saw a petite figure before him.
