The Great Ruler

Chapter 802 - The Netherworld Prince

The Netherworld Prince stood in the sky with indifference on his pale face. The terrifying Spiritual Energy pressure was like current as it gushed out of his body, causing this region to faintly undulate.

Everyone’s faces changed from that pressure, including Mu Chen.

That’s because of the Spiritual Energy pressure had exceeded an ordinary Fourth Grade Sovereign’s. Vaguely, it had actually reached the level of a Fifth Grade Sovereign!

Could it be that the Netherworld Prince had reached the level of Fifth Grade Sovereigns?!

Many experts had shock on their faces. As a Fifth Grade Sovereign, even in the various peak forces, he could become an elite of the higher hierarchy, not to mention amongst the younger generations of the Northern Region, which made others feel even more shocked.

Some gazes couldn’t help being directed at Mu Chen with sympathy. If Mu Chen still had some chances when he fought with Liu Yan, then the chances of him winning when facing the Netherworld Prince, who was a Fifth Grade Sovereign, was practically close to zero.

Under the numerous sympathetic gazes, Mu Chen looked at the indifferent Netherworld Prince with a solemn look on his face and shock in his heart. A Fifth Grade Sovereign was someone that could be bestowed Kingship in the Great Havenlaw Domain!

Perhaps Liu Yan’s strength could be considered as elite amongst the Fourth Grade Sovereigns, but it was too far in comparison to the Netherworld Prince.

“This is the gap between the third and second ranker of the Dragon-Phoenix record?” Mu Chen couldn’t help tightly clenching his fist as he stared at the Netherworld Prince. He could vaguely feel a stinging pain on his body, that was because of the powerful threat that he had felt.

Although the difference between a Fifth Grade Sovereign and a Fourth Grade Sovereign was a grade, the difference far exceeded the grades before the fifth.

Amongst the Nine Grades of Sovereigns, the first four grades only had a disparity between the strength of Spiritual Energy. But upon entering Fifth Grade Sovereign, there would be a huge difference. The most distinct difference would be the ability to shuttle through space, which was possessed by Fifth Grade Sovereigns.

It was a powerful life-saving and attacking means. Borrowing that power, Fourth Grade Sovereigns could only be beaten up upon facing a Fifth Grade Sovereign.

Therefore, when all the other experts found out that the Netherworld Prince had a cultivation at Fifth Grade Sovereign, they looked at Mu Chen with sympathy. That’s because, in their eyes, there wasn’t any suspense in this fight.

No matter what powerful means Mu Chen possessed, he wouldn’t be able to defeat the Netherworld Prince.

“You still want to continue?” The Netherworld Prince said with indifference.

Mu Chen smiled upon hearing his words. Although he did not give a reply, there wasn’t any fear in his eyes. The Netherworld Prince was indeed powerful, but bluntly speaking, the Netherworld Prince wasn’t qualified for him to flee without giving a fight.

Looking at Mu Chen’s gaze, the Netherworld Prince had gotten his answer. However, there still weren’t any ripples in his eyes as he said with indifference, “Looks like the genius of the Great Havenlaw Domain will fall in the Dragon-Phoenix Haven this time again.”

Mu Chen narrowed his eyes. Just when he was about to speak, his pupils suddenly narrowed. That’s because he saw the space around the Netherworld Prince suddenly distort, before his figure mysterious disappeared.

Boom!

Space distorted at Mu Chen’s rear and a palm containing powerful Spiritual Energy had suddenly slapped down towards his back.

The sudden abnormal attack had caused Mu Chen’s expression to change. However, he had been in a state of alert, thus he immediately formed seals. As a spiritual light surged, his figure turned into a fuzzy dragon image. When the dragon image appeared, space distorted around him and his figure had disappeared.

When the palm landed on empty air, the Netherworld Prince appeared with a flash. Seeing that his attack had failed, a smear of astonishment flashed in his eyes and he lightly said, “I never thought that you could actually shuttle through space with a cultivation at Third Grade Sovereign... But it is a pity that this technique of yours is still too lacking.”

When he finished speaking, his figure had disappeared once again, leaving fluctuations in the space.

At an area a thousand feet away, space rippled as a dragon image appeared. But just when the dragon image had just appeared, Mu Chen’s face changed once again.

Space undulated before him and a figure charged out. His palm was like bone-burrowing maggots, sweeping towards him, along with an overturning mountain pressure and sea of energy.

This time, he could not dodge anymore.

As the palm flew over, whistling in the wind, it practically felt suffocating. Mu Chen’s body surged with golden light as the Dragon-Phoenix Golden Armour appeared in a flash. At the same time, a dense layer of dark-golden scales appeared on his skin.

In a few breaths’ time, he had pushed the energy in his body to the limits, before slapping both of his palms forth. Under countless dumbfounded gazes, his palms clashed together with the Netherworld Prince’s palm.

Boom!

In that instant, when both palms clashed, there was something like a thunderous roar and visible fluctuations could be seen sweeping out. Space within ten thousand feet in radius rippled like waves.

Mu Chen’s body suddenly jolted from the impact and he flew out a thousand feet. He tasted a sweetness in his throat and couldn’t help spurting a mouthful of blood out.

The intense pain came from both of his arms, as if his bones were about to shatter. Mu Chen’s gaze grew even more solemn. The Netherworld Prince was, indeed, extremely powerful. With just this clash alone, if it wasn’t for the fact of him having the protection of the Dragon-Phoenix Golden Armour and the Dragon-Phoenix Physique, his arms would have been broken.

When Mu Chen flew out, the Netherworld Prince’s body lightly jolted and he took several tens of steps back. There was a ripple on his emotionless face and a chill gathered in his eyes. He never expected that he could not manage to cripple Mu Chen with that attack of his.

“No wonder you’re able to defeat Liu Yan, you do have some means, after all.” The Netherworld Prince stared at Mu Chen as he slowly said. From the previous clash, any other Fourth Grade Sovereign would have been heavily injured. But for Mu Chen, he only spurted a mouthful of blood.

Mu Chen coldly looked at the Netherworld Prince, while wiping the smear of blood off the corner of his lips. There was no fear in his eyes from the power displayed by the Netherworld Prince; instead, a blazing fighting intent was surging within his eyes.

He formed seals with both of his hands and a golden light swept out from every direction of his body, forming into a huge golden figure that stood in this region. In that instant, the Spiritual Energy rolled as the golden light dazzled the eyes.

Mu Chen stood on the head of the Great Solar Undying Body and grasped his hand. The Great Meru Demonic Pillar appeared in the hands of the Great Solar Undying Body.

The Netherworld Prince looked at the unique Great Solar Undying Body and lightly knitted his brows. That’s because he couldn’t determine what the Sovereign Celestial Body was. At the same time, he could clearly sense that it wasn’t a normal Sovereign Celestial Body.

“Even if you risk your life, you won’t be able to change the ending.”

The Netherworld Prince wasn’t too bothered with Mu Chen’s counter moves. He lightly grasped his hand and a black light gathered in his palm, before forming into a halberd that was as black as ink.

A chilling Spiritual Energy fluctuation was emitting from the halberd. That chill even caused the Spiritual Energy in the surrounding region to freeze and become stagnant.

“That’s the High-Rank Divine Artifact of the Netherworld Palace, the Nethergod Halberd!” Many experts in this region couldn’t help exclaiming about this sight. Clearly, they were familiar with the halberd in the Netherworld Prince’s hand.

“Looks like this Netherworld Prince does not intend to give Mu Chen a survival path and has directly brought out the Nethergod Halberd.” Someone sighed. If the Netherworld Prince held contempt in his heart, perhaps Mu Chen might have a trace of survival. But, clearly, after experiencing the countless slaughters, he wasn’t stupid enough to do that.

Even a lion would use its full force when facing a rabbit. Clearly, as the most outstanding elite amongst the younger generations in the Netherworld Palace, the Netherworld Prince wouldn’t do something so foolish and risk failing.

“He has not truly breakthrough the Fifth Grade Sovereign.” Mu Chen fixed his gaze at the Netherworld Prince and slowly said.

Through the short confrontation earlier, Mu Chen had sensed how powerful the Netherworld Prince was. But, at the same time, he had also sensed that the Netherworld Prince wasn’t a genuine Fifth Grade Sovereign. According to his guesses, the Netherworld Prince should be at the border of the breakthrough.

But, even so, the dangerous level of the Netherworld Prince had far exceeded Liu Yan.

Seeing as Mu Chen managed to see through his strength, the Netherworld Prince was a little astonished, then said with indifference, “Will an ant bother if it was a wolf or tiger that crushed it to death?”

Mu Chen sneered as he stomped his foot. On the centre of the Great Solar Undying Body’s brows and the chest, two dazzling golden suns rose.

“Sovereign Ability - Two Solar Energy!”

Mu Chen barked from his heart as a dazzling golden light burst out from the golden suns. A vast and powerful energy that could crush mountains spread out from the Great Solar Undying Body.

“Haha, interesting.”

The Netherworld Prince smiled as he looked at Mu Chen’s rising grandeur and power, “You’ve decided to go all-out? But I’m afraid that your efforts are all in vain.”

“It’s still too early to determine if it’s in vain!”

Mu Chen barked as the golden light swept out from the body of the Great Solar Undying Body. It had immediately dyed the Great Meru Demonic Pillar golden, destroying space, and cast a huge shadow, along with an annihilating power, that enveloped the Netherworld Prince.

Facing such a powerful enemy, Mu Chen had clearly pushed his strength to the limits.

Countless experts had a solemn expression as they looked at the attack unleashed by Mu Chen. Mu Chen’s courage was indeed admirable and shocking.

However, just courage alone might not be able to get much effect when facing such a desperate battle.

Everything was determined with strength!

This confrontation would definitely be more intense than before!
