Chapter 630 - Might of the Nine Nether
The sudden voice indolent voice made the expression on Mu Chen’s face freeze, and after a brief moment, he recovered from the shock and muttered with disbelief, “You… Nine Nether? You’ve woken up?”
However, his question wasn’t replied, which made Mu Chen’s heart cold in an instant. Was he hallucinating?
“Haha, looks like you missed me a lot.” However, just when Mu Chen’s heart was about to thoroughly turn cold, teasing laughter rang out again.
Mu Chen’s expression hung for a moment, before he helplessly rolled his eyes. However, he still felt a heavy relief. This fellow has finally woken up after being asleep for two years…
“You’re finally awake.” Mu Chen bitterly smiled in his heart.
“Can’t help it, you’re about to die, and I don’t want to die together with you without even enjoying a day after evolving.” Nine Nether laughed.
Mu Chen pulled his lips. His relationship with the Nine Nether was very complicated as the both of them had undergone the Bloodlink Bond. Thus, speaking to a certain extent, they both had a very close relationship. Even when the Nine Nether was in deep slumber this whole time, the relationship between the two became even closer due to the link of their bloodline.
“Looks like you’ve encountered quite the trouble.” Nine Nether lightly smiled, although it was a conversation in the heart, Mu Chen was able to sense a scene flashing through his heart. It seems to be a broken black egg with a girl dressed in black seated on top of it. She was shaking her pair of long and slender legs as she put a fragment of the egg shield into her rosy lips and crunched on it with her silver teeth, chewing it bit by bit with an intoxicated expression on her wild and beautiful face.
“It’s just a Primordial Skydragon Hawk, its strength should have reached the Fourth Grade Sovereign.” Mu Chen nodded his head as he enquired with a soft voice, “Can you deal with it?”
Nine Nether had her hand on her cheeks as she spoke lazily, “It’s just a mixed chicken that can never evolve, relying on its long lifespan to achieve the Sovereign Realm. But a Spiritual Beast is still a Spiritual Beast in the end, without being able to undergo evolution, its path stops here.”
“Then, what grade of Sovereign are you?” Mu Chen spoke with cautiousness.
“Hmm, it should also be at the Fourth Grade.” Nine Nether spoke with a sweet smile.
“Fourth Grade Sovereign?” Mu Chen inhaled a mouthful of chilled air as he was startled in his heart. The Primordial Skydragon Hawk had cultivated for a long time and was only at the Fourth Grade Sovereign, but the Nine Nether slept for two years and had already achieved such heights. He still clearly remembered that before the Nine Nether underwent her evolution, her strength was on par with him.
“I’m the most talented in the Nine Netherbird clan in the past thousand years with the purest bloodline, don’t compare that mixed chicken with me.” Nine Nether indolently replied. As there wasn’t nothing surprising for her and instead, it should be a natural thing.
Mu Chen was speechless. If she had spoken such words, who knows how many self-proclaimed geniuses would spurt blood out.
“That fellow is also Fourth Grade… can you deal with it?” Mu Chen questioned.
“Under the same cultivation, a Divine Beast suppresses Spiritual Beasts.” Nine Nether said with indifference.
“Formidable!” Mu Chen praised.
“I will temporarily lend you my strength, but it will depend on you to see how much you can hold.” Nine Nether swallowed the last fragment of eggshell and lightly patted her hands. She formed seals with both of her hands and an earth-shattering amount of purple flames gushed out, along with dreadful Spiritual Energy ripples, and exploded.
In the collapsed Battle Stage, there wasn’t any movement on Mu Chen’s body as he froze while conversing with Nine Nether in his heart.
“Looks like he’s beginning to give up.”
Up in midair, Ji Xuan slightly slanted his head as he looked at Mu Chen, who had a miserable appearance and smiled, “Since that’s the case, then I’ll let you feel the true meaning of despair. Your so-called ‘confidence’ will cease to exist from today on.”
As he finished his speech, Ji Xuan’s gaze became savage and cruel as he strode forth. In the next instant, his figure had mysteriously appeared before Mu Chen. He had a light smile as he tore through space and pointed at Mu Chen’s heart along with unparalleled sharpness of his fingers and purple light.
One finger of malice.
Outside the Battle Stage, innumerable students couldn’t bear shifting their gazes, the expressions of the students of Northern Heavens Spiritual Academy turned pale.
“It all ends now!” Ji Xuan let out savage laughter as the purple light turned even more radiant on his two fingers, with a gale that shrouded his fingers that could tear through any obstacles.
A gale swept out as it fell towards Mu Chen’s chest at speed as swift as lightning.
Tsk!
A faint sound suddenly rang out and those that had their gazes fixed on the Battle Stage suddenly narrowed.
Ji Xuan’s cruel expression underwent a drastic change as he raised his head in disbelief. He saw Mu Chen extending two fingers out that clamped onto his. Although that pincer attack looked weak, Ji Xuan’s offence was unable to advance a single inch.
“How is that possible?!”
A cry of astonishment rang out.
Ji Xuan’s heart trembled as he looked at the youth that was in a miserable state before him in disbelief. At this moment, the latter had also slowly raised his head as his black pupils seemed to have purple flames gushing out.
“Your complacency ends here.” The corner of the youth’s lips rose up along with his hoarse voice. In the next instant, he whipped his leg, it was like a heavy hammer with a speed that not even Ji Xuan could react to and heavily landed on his chest.
Boom!
A solemn sound rang out, and Ji Xuan’s body was like a cannonball as he flew out, drawing large and deep marks along the floor that were a few hundred feet in length, those rocks that he slammed into along the way were reduced to dust.
The entire field went silent.
Innumerable people had their mouths widen as they froze, witnessing that scene.
Luo Li and Wen Qingxuan, who were about to attack, dazed off as well, looking at Ji Xuan instantly flying back with astonishment. They had still not recovered from the sudden change of events.
Outside the Battle Stage, Ling Xi narrowed both her eyes as she stared at Mu Chen, a smear of astonishment flashed across her face as she seems to have sensed something.
Poof!
Ji Xuan stabilised his body as he spurted a mouthful of blood, his gaze was a little dazed as he stared at Mu Chen. However, that only lasted for a brief instant, before he recovered from the daze and howled with disbelief, “How is that possible?!”
Mu Chen raised his head as he looked at Ji Xuan, whose eyes were reddened with indifference. He did not even pay any attention to him and slowly opened his arms. After that, everyone witnessed the scene of a giant purple pillar of flames gushing from his body and soared into the horizon.
The blazing temperature instantly spread out in this region, even the foothold beneath Mu Chen’s feet started to melt.
The overbearing purple flames were inexpressible.
Furthermore, along with the purple flames gushing out, everyone sensed the Spiritual Energy ripples emitting from Mu Chen becoming more and more terrifying. They had already reached the Sovereign Realm level in just a few breath’s time…
Innumerable students were once again overwhelmed with shock.
Up in midair, the Deans of the various academies had astonished expressions as well. Their gazes started to turn heavy as they could feel Mu Chen’s Spiritual Energy ripples that were probably comparable to a Second Grade Sovereign Realm. Compared to Ji Xuan, who was barely First Grade Sovereign, it was way stronger.
“This Mu Chen had actually concealed a similar trump card.” Several Deans bitterly smiled as they looked at each other. This was the peak level students of the Five Great Academies? They truly were formidable, so much so that even they felt threatened by it.
Among the Five Great Deans, Dean Tai Cang was also startled by the scene, but he soon recovered and ecstasy surged from his cold expression; whereas Dean Tiansheng, who was smiling earlier, had a dark expression on his face at this moment.
Purple flames swept, and purple wings also appeared behind Mu Chen that were slowly unfolding. His pair of black pupils had turned purple at this moment, and vaguely, there was a bright and crisp cry that resonated between the heavens and earth.
“The power of a Sovereign…”
Mu Chen slowly clenched his fist as he couldn’t help being intoxicated as he sensed the fearsome energy in his body. Right now, he could probably destroy this entire land with a single wave of his hand.
This power was definitely not something that the Spirit Disaster could be compared to.
“You actually managed to hold so much power, looks like your physical body is pretty strong now.” Nine Nether’s astonished voice rang out in Mu Chen’s heart. She initially expected that the First Grade Sovereign Realm was Mu Chen’s limit, but she never thought that he would be able to hold up to the Second Grade Sovereign Realm.
“I have not spent two years doing nothing.” Mu Chen smiled.
“You’re indeed more powerful compared to before.” Nine Nether did not disagree as, right now, Mu Chen was indeed much more powerful compared to before. At the very least, he could not follow her footsteps and not only in sight but be unattainable like before.
Mu Chen lightly laughed as he raised his head, his pupils were blazing with purple flames as he looked at the ashen Ji Xuan. Shortly after, he abruptly stomped his feet on the ground, purple flames wreaked havoc as it spread out and his figure disappeared in an instant.
When he disappeared, his indifferent voice swept out along with purple flames.
“Let’s end this battle.”
Ji Xuan abruptly narrowed his eyes as he hastily retreated.
Poof.
A hand shrouded in purple flames pierced through space, as if it was extending from the void and grabbed onto his neck.
The gap between them was evident!
