Chapter 626 – Mu Chen’s Sovereign Sea
Up in the sky, Ji Xuan was looking at Mu Chen, who was covered in lightning, with a cold gaze. He was reading with his eyes. The words Mu Chen previously said made him blink his eyes; but soon, a mocking smile lifted from the corner of his lips. “Oh? Really?”
Clearly, he didn’t believe that Mu Chen could possess a Sovereign Sea. After all, no matter what sort of luck he encountered, it was impossible for a Third Grade Spirit Disaster to establish his Sovereign Sea in such a short amount of time.
However, Mu Chen did not reply to Ji Xuan’s mocking laughter and only responded with a smile. Shortly after, a cold arc lifted on his face as his pupils that were filled with lightning grew even colder as he suddenly formed seals with his hands!
Whoosh!
A scarlet pillar of light soared into the horizon from Mu Chen’s head and at the same time, a palpitating Baleful Aura spread out between the heavens and earth. It was like an ominous primordial beast being born.
Everyone raised their heads as they looked.
Within the scarlet pillar of light stood a sizeable demonic pillar. The surface of the demonic pillar had traces of age. The cause for some of the ferocious-looking traces could not be determined. However, anyone could figure out that this Great Meru Demonic Pillar had experienced a bitter and astonishing battle.
Bizarre runes could be vaguely seen on the demonic pillar. Those runes were like chains as they coiled around the pillar. From the looks of it, they seemed to be restricting the Great Meru Demonic Pillar.
Those runes were naturally seals done by Mu Chen using that mysterious Immortal Page in his body.
After all, the Great Meru Demonic Pillar was too ominous, and it was impossible for the past Mu Chen to control it. Thus it could only be sealed.
However, the seals… it’s time to remove them.
Cold light flashed across Mu Chen’s eyes as his figure moved. He appeared before the Great Meru Demonic Pillar as he formed hand seals with one hand and slapped the demonic pillar.
Buzz.
A ripple spread from Mu Chen’s palm mark as the Immortal Page hidden in his Aura Sea burst forth with faint a buzzing sound. Dark purple lights were emitted and gushed from Mu Chen’s palm.
“Remove seal!”
A faint voice resounded from Mu Chen’s heart.
Tsk! Tsk!
The dark purple seal on the surface of the Great Meru Demonic Pillar was swiftly dissolving.
Boom!
As the seal dissolved, the Great Meru Demonic Pillar intensely trembled since the hundred foot demonic pillar was no longer subjected to Mu Chen’s control and swiftly expanded. Looking from far away, it was like a towering pillar that pierced the sky. Along with the Baleful Aura emitting from the demonic pillar, it was expanding at a rapid speed, instantly dying the entire region in red.
That Baleful Aura made the hearts of others palpitate.
It was so much so that even those Deans of the various academies in midair had their facial expressions slightly changed from the dreadful Baleful Aura.
Dean Tai Cang was also watching this scene with narrowed eyes narrowed. A smear of astonishment flashed across his eyes as he muttered, “Trying to unseal the Great Meru Demonic Pillar? Such a Primordial Ominous Artifact is not something that can be so easily controlled…”
The Great Meru Demonic Pillar was the most important treasure of the Demonic Dragon Palace. Thus Dean Tai Cang had some knowledge about it. He was also well-aware of its power. Back when they battled the Demonic Dragon Palace, if they had fully restored this Great Meru Demonic Pillar, it wouldn’t be easy for them to obtain victory, even with the help of the Northern Sea Dragon.
And right now, the Great Meru Demonic Pillar was in Mu Chen’s hands, but with his current strength, can he control it? If he failed to control this Ominous Artifact, he might be devoured by it instead.
Everyone in this region was looking at the demonic pillar, with its torrential Baleful Aura, that was in the sky.
Mu Chen had also raised his head as he looked at the sizeable demonic pillar before him. After unsealing it, red cracks were appearing on the surface of the demonic pillar. Those cracks were like the mouths of demons as they continuously spurt out startling a Baleful Aura, revealing the most sinister look of the Great Meru Demonic Pillar.
Mu Chen’s figure moved, and he appeared above the Great Meru Demonic Pillar.
Boom!
The instant he landed on it, the demonic pillar jolted as a surge of Baleful Aura turned into a blood light that engulfed him. It was impossible for such an Ominous Artifact to be tamed so easily. Its origin wasn’t simple. It was natural for such a powerful Ominous Artifact to possess spirituality. In the past, when it was sealed by Mu Chen, it could only stay latent, and now that it was unsealed, it was naturally no longer willing to be controlled by Mu Chen.
“Hmph.” Facing the devouring nature of the Great Meru Demonic Pillar, Mu Chen issued a cold snort, since he had long expected this. He heavily stomped his foot as dark purple runes swiftly spread out from his feet, and as the runes spread out, the Baleful Aura withered down like waves.
Although the Great Meru Demonic Pillar was overbearing and violent, he possessed the Immortal Page in his body that could restrain its power.
After suffering the attack from Mu Chen, the Great Meru Demonic Pillar finally behaved and no longer tried to devour Mu Chen.
“Since you’re behaving now, then unleash your power and lend it to me!”
Mu Chen felt the silent Great Meru Demonic Pillar as he smiled. Shortly after, he sat down on the demonic pillar and lifted both of his hands. Scarlet-red Baleful Aura soared towards the horizon as it formed a corporeal red pillar of light that engulfed Mu Chen.
Tsk! Tsk!
An endless supply of Baleful Aura was pouring into Mu Chen’s body. It was like a ferocious dragon that charged into Mu Chen’s aura sea.
After the seal was undone, the Great Meru Demonic Pillar was several folds more violent compared to before. The thickness of the Baleful Aura was far greater than in the past.
Violent and vast Baleful Aura continuously poured into his aura sea and started to dye it in red. Gradually, the accommodation of his aura sea reached the limit as an intense pain surged.
However, Mu Chen did not move in the slightest from the intense pain, he still poured the Baleful Aura from the Great Meru Demonic Pillar into his aura sea without concern.
Tsk. Tsk.
The intense pain continued to surge, and when his aura sea could not contain anymore Baleful Aura, the centre of his aura sea was gradually twisting, and when the distortion reached the limit, a tiny black spot suddenly appeared. That black spot was tiny, but a peculiar ripple was being emitted. It was as if a bizarre space was being hidden in the black spot.
The instant the black spot appeared, a terrifying suction force burst out, which made the Baleful Aura in his aura sea to whistle in a moment and was devoured by that tiny black spot.
In just a few moments, his aura sea was emptied once again without the slightest Spiritual Energy present.
At the peak of the demonic pillar, Mu Chen’s body finely trembled as he raised his head and smiled at Ji Xuan, who was in midair, far away. He stood up and slowly opened his hands.
Boom!
Space suddenly distorted behind Mu Chen as a blood-red ocean slowly appeared. It was a similarly vast Spiritual Energy ocean, except that it was dyed in red, almost like converging blood; looking extremely bloody.
No one paid attention to how bloody it was, but all of them were looking at the blood-red ocean in the distorted space behind Mu Chen, some of them were even overwhelmed with shock.
Sovereign Sea!
Mu Chen has actually established a Sovereign Sea as well?!
“Big Brother Mu Chen established a Sovereign Sea as well?” Yu Xi was pleasantly surprised when she witnessed that scene.
Ye Qingling and the rest also had a strange expression on their faces. After all, before he entered the Mirror of Judgement, Mu Chen’s strength was only at the First Grade Spirit Disaster, but now, he had actually established a Sovereign Sea in just a step, wasn’t that a little too fearsome?
“That’s not the Sovereign Sea established by Mu Chen.”
Ling Xi lightly shook her head as she continued, “He only established a ‘Sovereign Source’ and filled it up with the Baleful Aura of the Great Meru Demonic Pillar. However, this strength doesn’t belong to it, so it can’t grow without end. This Sovereign Sea can only exist for a short period of time and will disappear, which is precisely his aim.”
The so-called Sovereign Source was the primary form of the Sovereign Sea. However, it required one to perfect it with their own Spiritual Energy to form a genuine Sovereign Sea. But, right now, Mu Chen didn’t have that luxury of time, so he had to use another method. By borrowing the power of the Great Meru Demonic Pillar to fill up the Sovereign Source, he made a fake Sovereign Sea.
But, at this point of time, it wasn’t part of his concern if the Sovereign Sea was real or fake, he just needed its strength.
After he possessed a Sovereign Sea, Ji Xuan’s advantage would be non-existent.
With the Nona Lightning Rune Physique and the Sovereign Sea, Mu Chen was genuinely invincible beneath the Sovereign Realm.
The scarlet-red Sovereign Sea was rolling the distorted space. Mu Chen slowly lifted his head as he looked at Ji Xuan, whose expression was dark at the moment. Thr smear of a cold arc rose on the corner of Mu Chen’s lip as he extended his hand out and bent his fingers; making a provoking gesture.
The youth was standing on top of the sizeable demonic pillar with one scarlet-red eye and another one with flickering lightning, along with black lightning coiling around his body.
An indescribable pressure slowly spreads out and compared to Ji Xuan, it was even more powerful!
Right now, Mu Chen was like a killing god as he intimidated the entire field.
