The Great Ruler

Chapter 821 - Breakthrough

Chapter 821 - Breakthrough

The ice prison that was made of black ice surged with a black chill, a coldness that could freeze one's Spiritual Energy. And in the prison, Mu Chen stood still with his hands joined together.

With his hands joined together, a buzzing noise jolted in his body. Thereafter, boundless Spiritual Energy gushed out like a flood, filling his limbs and bones.

The Spiritual Energy pressure that fluctuated around him soared at a stunning rate as well, overlapping in layers as it pushed towards a more powerful level.

Mu Chen had obtained tons of opportunities in the Dragon-Phoenix Haven, so the Spiritual Energy in his body had reached the limit of Third Grade Sovereign Realm. However, he knew his progress was too fast, so he did not attempt to break through for the time being, in fear of risking an unstable foundation.

In the Dragon-Phoenix Haven, he had refined many Dragon-Phoenix Blood Essences but had yet to attempt a breakthrough to Fourth Grade Sovereign; even if he knew that it wouldn't be so hard for him to deal with the Netherworld Prince upon finishing his breakthrough.

Therefore, he had been suppressing this until he was back in the Great Havenlaw Domain. He spent half a month in seclusion to be in full control of the boost in his strength from the Dragon-Phoenix Haven. So the Spiritual Energy in Mu Chen's body had practically been in a full state.

Right now, he only had to slightly control his Spiritual Energy and it would automatically overflow, finishing his breakthrough.

Every gaze around the King's Ceremony Stage was looking at the ice prison. Many people shook their heads in pity, thinking that Mu Chen had failed.

After all, the strength of a Fifth Grade Sovereign wasn't something that a mere Third Grade Sovereign could face.

"Big Sister Nine Nether, Mu Chen…" Tang Bing and the rest couldn't help speaking in a low voice with worries written all over their faces.

Nine Nether frowned her brows as she stared at the ice prison. Relying on her keen senses, she sensed an abnormal fluctuation being emanated from it, so she did not say a word.

On the golden throne, Mandala's golden pupils had also lightly flickered as her lips rose.

"This meaningless battle has come to an end."

Under the countless gazes, Qiu Taiyin indifferently smiled. In his view, the gap between his and Mu Chen's strength was too wide. Mu Chen did possess some astonishing means, but it was a pity that it couldn't make up for the vast gap between their realms.

However, to be able to crush someone whose fame had been spreading like fire in the Northern Region still made Qiu Taiyin happy in his heart. Even such an outstanding genius was just someone that he could deal easily with in his eyes.

Qiu Taiyin sneered in his heart as he stretched his hand out in the direction of the black ice prison, before he suddenly start to clench it.

Boom!

Just when Qiu Taiyin was about to clench his hand, a blazing Spiritual Energy erupted like a volcano.

"What?!" Qiu Taiyin's face suddenly changed.

A massive pillar of Spiritual Energy soared into the sky before swiftly shrinking and disappeared. When the light pillar disappeared, a slender figure appeared in the sky.

Rustle!

Everyone had directed their gazes over.

It was still the long-haired Mu Chen and still those fearful pitch-black eyes of his. However, the Spiritual Energy fluctuation around him was several times stronger than before!

The sudden surge in Spiritual Energy made countless people exclaim, "He actually broke through?!"

Those who held pity on their faces couldn't help exclaiming, since no one thought that Mu Chen would break through at such a crucial moment. The achievement obtained by that fellow in the past year was something that ordinary people couldn't match.

"But, even if he made his breakthrough, he's just a Fourth Grade Sovereign. There's still a huge gap between him and Qiu Taiyin." There were some that shook their heads. Clearly, they did not think that Mu Chen could fight Qiu Taiyin, even if he had made his breakthrough. After all, his breakthrough had only slightly closed the gap between him and Qiu Taiyin, and had not surpassed the latter.

Many experts nodded their heads. There was still some distance between a Fourth Grade Sovereign and a Fifth Grade Sovereign.

Under the surrounding whispers, Qiu Taiyin's face was a little dark as he looked at Mu Chen. Evidently, this incident had exceeded his expectations as well.

"Commander Mu Chen is, indeed, worthy of being the most outstanding amongst his generation to be able to break through even at this timing." Qiu Taiyin faintly smiled as he continued, "But even if you have broken through to Fourth Grade Sovereign, it doesn't mean anything. I suggest an end this battle, so I'm afraid that I won't be able to hold myself back."

Hearing his words, Mu Chen replied without any emotions, "Then who is considered the winner?"

Qiu Taiyin's face slowly turned cold with a mocking arc on the corner of his mouth as he indifferently said, "Since Commander Mu Chen wants to determine a winner, then I can only accompany you with this play."

Finishing his words, a hint of killing intent flashed in his eyes. His words earlier had given Mu Chen face, but who could have expected that he would be so impudent and ask such a question?

Qiu Taiyin's skinny hands abruptly clenched, before waving his sleeves. Black Spiritual Energy swept out in every direction, forming into a huge pitch-black sword, piercing through space with a rustle and slashed down at Mu Chen.

Mu Chen's pitch-black pupils lightly flickered, but he did not dodge. His hands joined together as boundless a Spiritual Energy that was blazing with purple flames and flickering with incorporeal lightning combined together and swept out, clashing with the huge black sword that was emanating a chill.

Boom!

The two forces clashed, but Qiu Taiyin's attack did not sweep through Mu Chen's attack like before. The two forces were in a deadlock, before the Spiritual Energy force was slashed apart. When the Spiritual Energy force was broken apart, cracks appeared on the icy black sword.

Clearly, after ascending to Fourth Grade Sovereign, Mu Chen's attack no longer fell behind after making use of the fusion between the Undying Flames and Incorporeal Lightning.

At the very least, it was impossible for Qiu Taiyin to suppress Mu Chen with just his Spiritual Energy pressure.

Qiu Taiyin had also sensed this situation and his dark face turned even darker.

Mu Chen maintained a calm expression. After entering the Lesser Demon Heart State, he was in an absolutely calm state. It was the most perfect battle state, since his fighting strength had undergone a huge boost at this state. That's because he could make use of every single strand of Spiritual Energy to the fullest, no longer having any waste.

"Commander Mu Chen is indeed capable. Today, I will see how many means you have up your sleeves!" Qiu Taiyin's face was cold as he stomped his feet. Instantly, boundless Spiritual Energy soared into the sky. A huge black figure appeared as the overflowing, chilling power surged into the sky.

It was the Great Yin Celestial Body.

Clearly, Qiu Taiyin understood that it was already impossible to rely on his Spiritual Energy pressure alone to deal with Mu Chen. So he had to display some of his true means.

He wanted to let Mu Chen understand that even if he had broken through to Fourth Grade Sovereign, he still couldn't change the outcome of this battle.

Qiu Taiyin appeared on the Great Yin Celestial Body as he glared at Mu Chen with a sharp gaze. He stretched his skinny hands and a pitch-black Spiritual Energy violently gathered by his fingertips. The black crescent moon appeared once again.

Everyone's eyes trembled as they watched this scene. Previously, Qin Zhong had lost to Qiu Taiyin because of this move, so everyone knew the power of the black crescent moon.

Mu Chen's black eyes rippled as he waved his hand, causing a dazzling golden light to sweep out beneath his feet, before forming into a huge golden figure with a blazing golden sun floating behind its head.

After summoning the Great Solar Undying Body, the Spiritual Energy in this region violently undulated. A golden light spread out, even the chill that coiled around the Great Yin Celestial Body couldn't get into the perimeters of the golden light.

Everyone could tell how formidable Mu Chen's Sovereign Celestial Body was. Even facing a Sovereign Celestial Body of a Fifth Grade Sovereign, it didn't look any weaker.

"Hmph!"

Seeing the Great Solar Undying Body beneath Mu Chen, Qiu Taiyin narrowed his gaze. He had clearly felt how extraordinary Mu Chen's Sovereign Celestial Body was. However, he had only coldly snorted in his heart. Even if the Sovereign Celestial Body that Mu Chen had cultivated was not ordinary, one's own Spiritual Energy had to support the powerful Sovereign Celestial Body.

"Since you're so confident in yourself…"

A cold arc rose on the corner of Qiu Taiyin's lips. Shortly after, he slowly opened his hand under the countless gazes. Instantly, pitch-black Spiritual Energy gushed from the Great Yin Celestial Body, and gathered under Qiu Taiyin's palm. Everyone sucked in a breath of cold air as they saw, a total of five crescent moon appearing beneath Qiu Taiyin's palm, one after another.

In the previous match, Qin Zhong couldn't even resist a single black crescent moon. But right now, there was a total of five. Even if Mu Chen had stepped into the Fourth Grade Sovereign Realm, he probably couldn't withstand it!

Qiu Taiyin was clearly not giving Mu Chen any chances left. He wanted to truly defeat Mu Chen under the gazes of so many people!
