Splash!
The sound of running water resounded in the area after Xuan Zun spoke in a cold voice. The people then saw a large stream with black sticky water spurting out from his body. In the twinkle of an eye, the stream had already covered part of the sky.
The black water surged, and although the water was supposed to be light, one had a feeling that it was heavy, like a mountain. At the same time, it exuded a cold aura that caused the water vapor to freeze, turning it instantly into snowflakes.
Xuan Zun stood on top of the Xuan Ming Celestial Body and looked coldly at Mu Chen. The black stream was like a black dragon, encroaching around him and exuding a horrifying power.
Xuan Zun’s Spiritual Pulse Super Power had heightened his combat force to the optimum. Now, any God Grade Heavenly Sovereign would be wary of it.
As the fight had progressed to this stage, everyone could tell that Xuan Zun was enraged. After all, he had displayed his fatal blow!
This old man also has a Divine Pulse. When Mu Chen saw the black stream, he looked grave. He had clearly noticed the great force that was being exuded from the black stream.
“Go!” While Mu Chen was looking at him, Xuan Zun did not waste his time, but stretched out his finger and pointed at Mu Chen as he tapped in the air.
Splash!
At that moment, the black stream surged down from the heavens toward Mu Chen. As tons of water splashed down, the space collapsed suddenly. The force of the shockwaves was enough to flatten the spiritual body of a Spiritual Grade Heavenly Sovereign!
Many people saw this and were worried for Mu Chen. Xuan Zun’s attack was too powerful. Although Mu Chen possessed various means, if he could not counter the attack of the black stream, he would be flattened, even though he possessed the Qi into Trinity!
As the people looked on, Mu Chen simply lifted his head to look at the black stream that was coming down on him. He then took a deep breath, while ancient purple light runes lit up on the surface of his body.
A total of eight purple light runes brightened up. Then, a purple flame gathered in Mu Chen’s mouth. In the next instant, he opened his mouth and blew out the flame, sending it straight at the black stream!
Hoof! Hoof!
When Mu Chen spurted out the stream of purple fire, it was like a Purple Flame Dragon was moving around. It roared and caught up with the black stream, hitting it hard.
Swish! Swish!
The purple flame and the black stream hit each other and let out swishing sounds, while smoke rose up to the sky and covered the sun. Everyone was taken aback by the domineering power of the purple flame. Wherever the purple flame burned, the black stream was unable to penetrate it.
“The purple flame is so overbearing, as it is the Spiritual Pulse Super Power that has evolved from Mu Chen’s Eight Divine Pulse!” one of the onlookers exclaimed.
When the people saw the might of the purple flame, they immediately knew why it was so powerful. Mu Chen had only indistinctly displayed his Eight Divine Pulse earlier. Thus, they had not noticed it. However, now that he had fully activated it, the Eight Divine Pulse was obvious to everyone!
When the clan members from the Xuan lineage saw Mu Chen’s Eight Divine Pulse, they looked gloomy, especially Xuan Guang. For many years, only Qing Yanjing had possessed the Eight Divine Pulse in their Budur Ancient Clan.
Now, the second person to possess the Eight Divine Pulse was Mu Chen. This fact seemed to be telling everyone that the bloodline of Qing Yanjing and Mu Chen was pure, and they were the most powerful people in the Budur Ancient Clan.
While the people from the Xuan lineage were filled with jealousy, the clan members from the Qing lineage were shouting with joy. Qing Tian, Qing Xuan, and the rest heaved sighs of relief, as they felt as though a burden had been lifted from their shoulders. Mu Chen had proven himself worthy of being Qing Yanjing’s son!
As the people from the Budur Ancient Clan were experiencing different emotions, the First Elder, Budur Xuan, who was standing on the towering mountain, looked sharply at Mu Chen.
When he saw the purple light runes on Mu Chen’s body, he snorted and said angrily, “Ha, Eight Divine Pulse! This Divine Pulse belongs to Qing Yanjing. When she had Mu Chen, she must have placed her Divine Pulse into his body.”
Budur Xuan was, after all, a Divine Heavenly Sovereign. Hence, he was well aware of the Eight Divine Pulse that Qing Yanjing possessed. Now that Mu Chen had displayed it, he immediately recognized it.
When the clan members of the Budur Ancient Clan heard what the First Elder had said, they were shocked. One of them them said enviously, “He has such a good mother!”
When Xuan Luo heard this, he was filled with jealousy. However, he simply sneered. “No wonder Mu Chen is so gifted. Qing Yanjing has passed her Eight Divine Pulse to him.”
“If it was not for the Eight Divine Pulse, this perpetrator would not have the audacity to take us on!” one of the clan members said, while the rest of the clan members of the Xuan lineage nodded in agreement.
They had thought that Mu Chen did not have any extra resources and had climbed up to his current status via his own strength. However, it was now apparent that Qing Yanjing had left him a treasure!
Although a person who possessed the Eight Divine Pulse might not be guaranteed to have great achievements, it could indeed increase his rate of success. As long as he spent time cultivating it, he would be able to surpass the rest of the people easily! As the clan members were biased against Mu Chen, they attributed his success totally to Qing Yanjing, who had left her Eight Divine Pulse to him.
Although Mu Chen had heard what Budur Xuan had said, he was not affected by his words. He simply lifted his head to look at the spot where the purple flame and the black stream had just collided.
As the purple flame and the black stream were contending with each other, Mu Chen squinted his eyes. He could feel that a special power was within the black stream, which had not yet been released.
He then looked at Xuan Zun, who was nearby. Xuan Zun looked surprisingly expressionless. He did not look angry, even though he did not have the advantage.
When Xuan Zun noticed Mu Chen looking at him, he looked back. He then smiled flatly and mocked Mu Chen, saying, “Qing Yanjing’s Eight Divine Pulse is indeed powerful.”
Mu Chen looked back at him expressionlessly, as though he did not hear his mockery at all. Xuan Zun stood with his hands behind his back and said, “Your purple flame is indeed powerful. It can even block my Xuan Ming Nirvana Stream. If our strength is on par with each other, I believe that my Xuan Ming Nirvana Stream will not be able to stop you!”
Although Xuan Zun’s Xuan Ming Nirvana Stream was a Spiritual Pulse Super Power that had evolved from the Seven Divine Pulse, Xuan Zun was, after all, a God Grade Heavenly Sovereign. In contrast, Mu Chen was only a Spiritual Grade Heavenly Sovereign, so there was a great disparity between the two of them.
“What can we do? The world is not fair. Since you want to challenge me, you will have to taste defeat.” Having said that, Xuan Zun shook his head. He then took a deep breath and spewed out a mouthful of Blood Essence onto the black stream.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
When the Blood Essence landed on the black stream, it started to surge crazily. At the same time, the size of the stream shrunk and its color started to turn dark red.
Swish! Swish!
With the change that had just taken place, the fog that had been created by the Purple Flame Dragon dissipated. It had been devoured by the black stream!
There was an uproar in the area when the top powers saw what had happened. The clan members from the Qing lineage immediately turned pale.
Everyone could tell that Xuan Zun’s attack was forceful. Although Mu Chen possessed the Eight Divine Pulse, he was not as powerful as Xuan Zun and would not be able to take him on.
The black stream roared and forced the Purple Flame Dragon to retreat continually. It was clearly being defeated!
“Mu Chen has lost!” one of the top powers exclaimed.
Many of the top powers shook their heads. Xuan Zun clearly had the advantage. He would be able to defeat Mu Chen as long as he grabbed ahold of this opportunity to suppress him.
Qing Tian, Qing Xuan, and the rest turned pale. Mu Chen had advanced triumphantly, but had failed in this last round.
However, they knew that he had done his best. He had managed to last until now, given his strength only being at the initial stage of the Spiritual Grade Heavenly Sovereign level. This fact alone proved that he was extraordinary!
“After today, regardless of the outcome, our Qing lineage must do our best to protect Mu Chen,” Qing Tian said with a grim look.
He knew that the Xuan lineage and the rest of the people would not let the matter rest. Thus, the Qing lineage had to help Mu Chen. Qing Xuan and Qing Yun nodded their heads in agreement.
“The result is obvious.” Xuan Guang heaved a sigh of relief, while a cold light flashed across his eyes.
Since Mu Chen had failed in his mission, their Xuan lineage and the Mo lineage would control the Elder Academy in the future. Then, they would make sure that Mu Chen was punished!
Boom! Boom!
When the black stream whizzed across the space, the Purple Flame Dragon was about to dissipate from the area. When Xuan Zun saw it, he looked coldly at Mu Chen and said flatly, “You have lost.”
“A God Grade Heavenly Sovereign indeed has his advantages,” Mu Chen exclaimed as he ignored him. If both of them were on the same level, Mu Chen had the confidence that he could burn up the Xuan Ming Nirvana Stream!
As Xuan Zun looked coldly at Mu Chen, he saw that Mu Chen did not show any signs of fear. This made him unhappy. Apparently, Mu Chen was trying to put up a brave front. Seeing this, Xuan Zun laughed coldly and waved his sleeve.
Boom!
The black stream came down forcefully, and by this time, the Purple Flame Dragon had totally dissipated. The stream then surged down and pressed toward Mu Chen.
“After I have captured you, you can continue to lament over your foolishness,” he yelled.
Splash!
As the people saw the black stream coming down hard toward Mu Chen, it was apparent to them that Mu Chen had lost. The top powers shook their heads and found it to be a pity.
After all, Mu Chen was so close to success! He was just one step away from it, but he was being stopped by the Xuan lineage. The Xuan lineage was indeed a powerful lineage in the Budur Ancient Clan.
Although Mu Chen was in dire straits, he looked at the black stream without any expression on his face. He then muttered to himself, “Since the Eight Divine Pulse is unable to make up for the difference… Let’s change to another one.”
He slowly clasped his hands together, while a dazzling light burst out from his body. At the same time, the eight ancient purple light runes that were on the surface of his body suddenly became chaotic.
As the light gathered in the chaos, another light rune started to take shape, then quickly formed the ninth light rune. When the ninth light rune appeared on Mu Chen’s body, Budur Xuan, who was calm just a moment ago, suddenly turned pale. He stood up and looked at Mu Chen in disbelief.
