The Great Ruler

When the golden phoenix appeared, it unleashed a terrifying pressure that swept waves within the emerald ocean.

Huang Xuanzhi’s silhouette slowly fell on the head of that phoenix. His golden pupils were akin to that of a god without any emotion as he looked at Mu Chen.

The golden phoenix beneath his feet was his true body, so he had intended to fight for real when he summoned it out.

At this moment, regardless of how far Kong Ling’er and Nine Nether were, or those outside the Deification Pool, everyone’s expressions had turned grave.

They knew how terrifying Huang Xuanzhi would be after bringing out his main body.

Under this state, even a pinnacle Middle Phase Immortal Heavenly Sovereign wouldn’t be able to fight with him.

Mu Chen had also squinted his eyes while looking at the golden phoenix. He could clearly sense the vague pressure.

He had to admit that although Huang Xuanzhi was prideful, he was qualified to be prideful.

However, Mu Chen wouldn’t take a step back, no matter how powerful Huang Xuanzhi was. That’s because the latter wanted Nine Nether’s Undying Bird’s Bloodline, and it was something that he would absolutely not allow to happen.

‘Since you want to forcefully take it, then I will let you know that even if you’re the Real Phoenix Clan’s Young Patriarch, you’re still not qualified!’

Spiritual light gathered in Mu Chen’s eyes and a purplish-golden light blossomed from his back with a massive being appearing. The immortality aura had even resisted the golden phoenix’s pressure.

Standing on the Immortal Golden Body, Mu Chen had no expression as he looked at Huang Xuanzhi and stretched his hand out before making a provocative gesture.

“Haha, you’re courageous enough!” Seeing Mu Chen’s provocation, Huang Xuanzhi laughed. However, his laughter was filled with cold. This was the first time he had seen someone daring to challenge him.

“Fine, I will shatter your courage and you’ll see how I make it into the Saint Heavenly Sovereign Realm in the future!” Huang Xuanzhi’s laughter swept waves as his gaze turned sharp. The golden phoenix beneath his feet issued a cry as a golden bolt of lightning abruptly shot out.

“Phoenix Lightning!” That bolt of lightning was golden and domineering with a trace of True Phoenix Blood. Not to mention Spirit Heavenly Sovereigns, even Immortal Heavenly Sovereigns wouldn’t dare to face it head-on.

The golden bolt was extremely swift, appearing before the Immortal Golden Body the moment after it left the phoenix’s mouth.

Squinting his eyes, the Immortal Golden Body clenched it’s fist with Mu Chen’s eyes squinting and threw a jab towards the golden lightning, along with a purplish-golden glow.

The entire region trembled as the shock wave caused the ocean water within a thousand feet to sweep out and make geysers burst into the sky.

The Immortal Golden Body trembled and slowly retracted its fist as the golden lightning shattered.

However, there were cracks on its fist that swiftly recovered, along with the purplish-golden glow.

But due to that, he could also see how powerful Huang Xuanzhi was. One must know that even when facing an Initial Phase Immortal Heavenly Sovereign, there wasn’t any harm to the Immortal Golden Body. However, one lightning attack from Huang Xuanzhi had already caused some cracks.

That fellow was truly not simple.

Mu Chen’s gaze flickered as he raised his head with his eyes squinted after suddenly sensing something.

Seeing that his first lightning attack was useless, Huang Xuanzhi’s seals changed and the golden phoenix flapped its wings, radiating a golden light that vaguely took the shape of the sun and moon.

An indescribable pressure swept out, showing traces of a Peerless Divine Ability being used.

“Sun-Moon Phoenix Wings!” Kong Ling’er and the spectators outside the Deification Pool exclaimed with fear in their voices. This was a Peerless Divine Ability of the Phoenix Clan. Although it wasn’t comparable to the 36 Peerless Divine Abilities, it’s considered famous within the Great Thousand World.

It was said that Huang Xuanzhi had used this move when fighting the Immortal Heavenly Sovereign.

Under numerous fearful gazes, the golden radiance suddenly burst out from the wings and turned into a golden sun and moon.

As the sun and moon hovered, they emanated a pressure that could suppress all obstructions.

“Take this move of mine!” Huang Xuanzhi laughed as he pushed a palm out. The golden sun and moon flew out along with a destructive fluctuation being emanated.

The Immortal Golden Body opened its mouth and a golden light that seemed like golden dragons clashed with the golden sun and moon. However, the immortality beam was immediately crushed upon contact.

“The Peerless Divine Ability of the Phoenix Clan is truly extraordinary.” Mu Chen sighed, then he formed seals with a single hand. The space beside him suddenly distorted and two silhouettes walked out, standing on the Immortal Golden Body’s shoulders.

The Immortal Golden Body beneath Mu Chen’s feet radiated as the clones poured boundless Spiritual Energy into it that formed into a layer of armor on its body.

With the assistance of the two clones, the Immortal Golden Body opened its mouth and hundreds of Divine Immortal Runes coiled around like a massive python.

There was a total of 800 Divine Immortal Runes!

It was also Mu Chen’s current limit. While those runes circulated, they emanated a terrifying fluctuation that caused space to collapse into black holes.

The 800 Divine Immortal Runes swiftly spread out from the Immortal Golden Body and formed into a massive bow and an arrow that was covered in ancient runes.

When the arrow was placed on the bow, a terrifying fluctuation spread out between the heavens and earth, along with a killing aura that made it seem like any living being struck by this arrow would be killed.

Mu Chen’s gaze was indifferent as he raised his head at the golden sun and moon that was swiftly expanding and gently flicked his finger.

A buzzing noise echoed once the bowstring was released. The purplish-golden arrow shot out, causing space to collapse around and drew a long mark.

It was only a flash, but before anyone could get a clear look at it, the arrow had clashed with the golden sun and moon.

As a clear sound echoed out, the arrow first struck the golden sun. A terrifying radiance exploded from the golden sun as it tried to destroy the arrow. But this time, it couldn’t pose any threat. The runes on the arrow seemed to be immortal.

The purplish-golden arrow was only briefly stopped before it pierced through the golden sun. As for the golden moon, it was also pierced through in a single breath.

When Kong Ling’er and company saw this, their faces changed. This had exceeded their expectations. ‘Huang Xuanzhi’s Peerless Divine Ability was destroyed by an arrow from Mu Chen?!’

As their face changed, a streak of purplish-golden light flickered. However, half of that arrow’s power had also been exhausted and swiftly shrunk in size.

However, the speed hadn’t been decreased. It appeared before Huang Xuanzhi, intending to pierce through his head.

But when the arrow appeared on Huang Xuanzhi’s brows, a pair of hands that seemed to have been forged from gold stretched out and firmly grabbed ahold of the arrow.

But even so, the sharpness of that arrow had left a small wound at the center of Haung Xuanzhi’s brows.

Without any expression, Huang Xuanzhi exerted force with his hands and the arrow shattered.

Outside the Deification Pool, everyone took a cold breath of air as they looked at Mu Chen with grave expressions.

The two of them had practically brought out enough of their power from the previous confrontation and could even threaten an Immortal Heavenly Sovereign.

But who would’ve imagined that Huang Xuanzhi’s attack was so easily retaliated by Mu Chen? It was so much so that a small wound was left on Huang Xuanzhi’s forehead.

Although this wound didn’t mean much, it proved that Mu Chen held a slight advantage from the previous confrontation.

After witnessing this fight, everyone realised that this youth, whose fame was recently rising, wasn’t simple...

Everyone sighed. This confrontation was going to reach the climax.

While they were shocked, Huang Xuanzhi wiped the drip of blood from his forehead before forming an ancient rune.

When his seals changed, anyone could see an ancient halo behind Huang Xuanzhi that was slowly condensing.

When they saw that halo, everyone sucked in deep cold breaths...

They knew that the halo represented Huang Xuanzhi’s strongest Divine Ability.
