The giant golden phoenix emerged, and waves of tsunami-like oppression raged on the seafloor, setting off huge azure waves. Huang Xuanzhi’s figure slowly landed on the golden phoenix’s head. His golden eyes were like those of the gods, without a trace of emotion as he looked condescendingly at Mu Chen. The golden phoenix under his feet was his original form, and when he summoned it, it was obvious that he was not pulling any punches.
At this moment, no matter if it was Kong Ling’er, Nine Nether, or the numerous Divine Beast Clan members outside the Deification Pool, they watched solemnly. They knew very well how terrifying Huang Xuanzhi would be after summoning his original form. Even a middle-stage God Grade Heavenly Sovereign would not be able to defeat Huang Xuanzhi in this state.
Mu Chen stared gravely at the golden phoenix that shrouded the sky. Even he was able to clearly feel the oppression. Although Huang Xuanzhi was arrogant, Mu Chen had to acknowledge that he had the ability to back it up. Nevertheless, no matter how strong he was, Mu Chen would not let him succeed today. He wanted Nine Nether’s bloodline of the Undying Bird, and Mu Chen would never let that happen. If Huang Xuanzhi was bent on snatching it with brute force, he would let him know right now that even if he was a Young Clan Leader of the Phoenix Clan, he could not wreak havoc!
Spiritual light condensed in Mu Chen’s eyes as millions of purple-gold lights blossomed behind his back. A huge purple-gold figure emerged as an aura of immortality emanated, resisting the golden phoenix’s terrible oppression.
Mu Chen’s silhouette appeared on the Immortal Golden Body’s head, his handsome face without joy or sorrow. He glanced at Huang Xuanzhi in the distance, stretched out his palm, and beckoned him.
“Haha, how brave!” When Huang Xuanzhi saw Mu Chen’s invitation to battle, he burst out laughing, but there was a surging chill in it. For the first time in all these years, a man whose rank was lower than his dared to take the initiative to ask him to fight.
“Well, let me shatter all of your courage and see what courage you will have to break through to Divine Grade in the future.” Huang Xuanzhi’s laughter set off waves, and his gaze immediately turned sharp. The huge golden phoenix under his feet cried out as it opened its mouth. A beam of golden thunder and lightning shot out, rumbling loudly.
“Phoenix Lightning!”
That bolt of lightning was bright gold and extremely domineering. It even contained a trace of real phoenix blood. Even a God Grade Heavenly Sovereign would not dare to clash head-on with it, let alone a Spiritual Grade.
The golden bolt’s speed was indescribably fast. It had just broken away from the phoenix’s mouth but pierced through the space and appeared in front of the Immortal Golden Body. Mu Chen’s eyes narrowed as the Immortal Golden Body clenched its massive fist and swung. The space collapsed as the purple-gold fist brutally collided with the golden lightning.
Dong!
It was as if heaven and earth were shaking. The terrible shockwaves caused thousands of miles of seawater to roll turbulently as huge columns of water constantly burst up. The Immortal Golden Body trembled as it slowly retracted its purple fist. The golden lightning transformed into points of light and dissipated. However, some cracks had appeared on the Immortal Golden Body’s fist, though soon, the purple-gold light glowed, and the cracks were repaired.
From that point on, it was easy to see how intense Huang Xuanzhi’s attack was. The Immortal Golden Body was extremely strong, and even an initial-stage God Grade could not damage it. However, Huang Xuanzhi had only used one bolt of lightning and had caused it to crack slightly, showing how powerful he was.
This guy was formidable, indeed. The thought flashed in Mu Chen’s heart, and then he suddenly sensed something, raised his head, and narrowed his eyes. In the distance, seeing that his first attack had not succeeded, Huang Xuanzhi changed his seals without any hesitation. The wings of the golden phoenix suddenly burst out with bright golden light as the phoenix showed signs of turning into its form of the sun and moon. An indescribable sense of pressure swept through it, a sign that an incredibly powerful Rare Super Power was about to be summoned.
“It’s the Sun Moon Heavenly Phoenix Wings!” Kong Ling’er and others exclaimed, their voices thick with fear. The Sun Moon Heavenly Phoenix Wings was the Phoenix Clan’s ultimate Rare Super Power. Although its power was not great enough to be counted among the 36 Volumes of Rare Super Powers, it was definitely famous in the Great Thousand World. It was rumored that many of the God Grade Heavenly Sovereigns who had fought with Huang Xuanzhi had been defeated by this super power.
Boom!
Amid many fearful glances, a pair of gold wings erupted with golden light. In the next moment, the wings turned into a golden sun and moon. The sun and moon hung suspended, emanating power great enough to crush any obstacle.
“Take that!” Huang Xuanzhi let out a skyward laugh and launched a blow with one hand. The golden sun and moon roared out, chasing each other, as a force of destruction permeated the surroundings.
The Immortal Golden Body opened its mouth and spurted out beams of Immortal Golden Light. Like a golden dragon, it incessantly bombarded the golden sun and moon, but just as it came into contact with them, it was crushed into nothing. This showed how powerful the sun and moon were.
“The top Rare Super Powers of the Phoenix Clan are truly extraordinary.” Mu Chen sighed, and then he conjured up seals with one hand. The space at his side twisted as identical figures appeared, one white and one black. They landed atop the Immortal Golden Body’s shoulders.
Mu Chen sat on the Immortal Golden Body’s head as his two incarnations were on both shoulders. The next moment, they urged their vast spiritual power on as it flowed into the Immortal Golden Body.
Buzz!
With such a vast flow of power, the Immortal Golden Body suddenly burst out with countless beams of gold light. A golden layer even appeared on the surface of its body, like a layer of gold armor.
With the assistance of the two avatars, the Immortal Golden Body opened its mouth. Suddenly, hundreds of Immortal God Runes burst out like a python, circling all over its body. Counting carefully, there were 800 Immortal God Runes! This was the maximum number Mu Chen could conjure at his present stage. The 800 Immortal God Runes hovered, and the horrifying oppression caused the space to collapse and turn into dark holes.
The Immortal Golden Body stretched out a huge hand as the 800 Immortal God Runes quickly condensed, forming a purple-gold bow about 1,000 yards long. There were complex ancient runes engraved on the purple-gold arrow that slowly surfaced along with the bow.
When the purple arrow emerged, terrible fluctuations roared in heaven and earth. The murderous aura was so strong that it seemed wherever the arrow pointed, all life would be eradicated. Mu Chen’s gaze was cold as he raised his head. The golden sun and moon in his eyes rapidly magnified as he bent his finger gently.
Buzz!
With a buzzing sound, the purple-gold arrow shot out in a sharp burst. The space collapsed in a frenzy as it passed, leaving a long, dark trace.
Bang!
It was just a flash of light, and no one could see it clearly. The purple arrow bombarded the golden sun and moon.
Clink!
A crisp sound rang out as the purple-gold arrow shot the golden sun. Above the golden sun, terrible gold light burst out, trying to destroy the massive purple-gold arrow, but this time, its power did not have much of an effect. The ancient runes on the arrow radiated with purple-gold light. It was as if this arrow were indestructible.
Whoosh!
The massive purple-gold arrow only stopped for a moment at contact before it turned into a ray of purple-gold and pierced through the golden sun. It then swiftly pierced through the golden moon.
In the distance, Kong Ling’er and the others’ faces twisted. This scene was obviously beyond their expectations. Mu Chen has shot through Huang Xuanzhi’s incredible Rare Super Power with an arrow?!
Whoosh!
While they were shell-shocked, a subtle ray of purple-gold pierced the space as a long arrow rapidly shrank after piercing the sun and moon. Its power was exhausted. However, its speed was still unabated, and in a flash, it appeared in front of Huang Xuanzhi, whose expression was dark. It charged towards his forehead.
Clang!
Just as the arrow was about to hit Huang Xuanzhi’s forehead, two fingers like cast gold stretched out. Like golden pliers, it held the arrow firmly so that it could no longer move even the slightest inch. Even so, the sharp aura on the arrow still pricked a small wound on Huang Xuanzhi’s forehead. Huan Xuanzhi was expressionless as he snapped and shattered the purple-gold arrow.
Gasp!
Outside the Deification Pool, the Divine Beast Clans gasped as they stared at Mu Chen solemnly. The previous match between the two men showed that their attacks were fierce and unmatched, enough so that a God Grade Heavenly Sovereign could sense a deadly threat. However, no one thought that when facing Huang Xuanzhi’s overbearing attack, Mu Chen’s counter-attack would be extremely ferocious and even prick a spot on Huang Xuanzhi’s forehead. Although this injury was nothing, it was no doubt a sign that Mu Chen had gotten a slight upper hand.
At this point, after witnessing the match, the Divine Beast Clan members realized that this young man, who had recently risen to fame in the Great Thousand World, was indeed not an easy one to beat. Everyone sighed, as today’s battle between the aces was getting more intense.
At the bottom of the Deification Pool, Huang Xuanzhi’s face was expressionless as he wiped a trace of blood from his forehead. His hands then slowly conjured up ancient seals. When the seals changed, everyone could see a golden halo emitting an ancient aura slowly emerge behind his head. When people saw that mysterious and ancient halo, they gasped in shock, for they knew that the appearance of halo represented Huang Xuanzhi’s most powerful Rare Super Power: Great Thousand World, one of the 36 Volumes of Rare Super Powers, Nine Rounds Toward Sanctification Technique!
