Rumble!

When the low voice of Ling Zhanzi resounded between Heaven and Earth, a daunting spiritual energy gathered behind him. Uncountable roars and screams could vaguely be heard. At the same time, a gigantic figure began to form.

Within a short while, the gigantic figure gradually became vivid, drawing many stunning gazes as it appeared in front of the spectators. The figure was thousands of feet tall and three light globes were spinning non-stop behind the figure’s head. As indescribable daunting oppression exploded out from the gigantic figure, like a raging windstorm, twisting the entire space.

Once this Sovereign Celestial Appearance showed up, it immediately drew an overwhelming uproar from the entire Western Kingdom War City. All eyes were full of respect and envy, as the people knew the history of Ling Zhanzi’s Sovereign Celestial Body.

The Ancient War Emperor Celestial Body was ranked 24 on the List of 99 Sovereign Celestial Bodies, and legend had it that, in the ancient times, a top-notch powerhouse by the name of the Battle Emperor had created a unique Fighting Spiritual Energy.

The Fighting Spiritual Energy could merge the spiritual energy with the fighting spirit, and its combat power was dominating. With this skill, he was able to rank as one of the top powers in this Great Thousand World that was filled with powerhouses.

After the Ancient Battle Emperor perished, his inheritance was lost. But, the current Western Kingdom War Emperor had received it by chance.

After this, he was able to speed up his cultivation with the help of the inheritance. In the end, he finally hit the Heavenly Sovereign realm.

Even though the Ancient War Emperor Celestial Body was left behind by the Ancient Battle Emperor, it was not easy to practice it. Out of the four Holy Children from the Western Kingdom War Temple, only Ling Zhanzi had managed to practice it.

The power of the Ancient War Emperor Celestial Body could only be described as insanely domineering! After all, not just any forces could possess the Celestial Body.

“Does anyone know where Mu Chen’s Sovereign Celestial Body came from? Why have I not seen it before?”

“Hehe, Mu Chen’s Sovereign Celestial Body is only a few hundred feet tall. How much spiritual energy can such a size circulate and store?”

“They are like a giant and a dwarf facing-off. I’m afraid Mu Chen’s Sovereign Celestial Body will be blown into pieces as soon as they strike one another.”

As the land was filled with whispering, the Western Kingdom War Emperor slightly squinted his eyes and stared at the light screen. He was not staring at the Celestial Body of Ling Zhanzi, but the violet Celestial Body of Mu Chen, which was only a few hundred feet tall.

Others might not be able to sense anything coming from it but, as a Heavenly Sovereign who had keen senses, the Western Kingdom War Emperor could sense the vast amount of daunting power that was coming from that body.

“Mu Chen’s Sovereign Celestial Body is not that simple,” said the Western Kingdom War Emperor slowly.

Even though he had seen much of the world, he could not remember the origin of his Immortal Golden Body, apart from finding it familiar. Although he could not tell its origin at the moment, the Western Kingdom War Emperor knew that the mysterious Celestial Body of Mu Chen would not lose to the Ancient War Emperor Celestial Body.

“Mu Chen really has some luck to have been able to cultivate such a Celestial Body. It’s no wonder that the Flame Emperor thinks so highly of him,” the Western Kingdom War Emperor looked at the Flame Emperor and commented.

He then added, “With such a Sovereign Celestial Body, he might even be able to fight it out with Ling Zhanzi. But, it will still be difficult for him to win.”

Although Mu Chen did have his means, he was still bound by his own level. Since he was only a Lower Earthly Sovereign, it would be hard for him to challenge someone of a higher level, let alone Ling Zhanzi, who was in the hall of fame of the Upper Earthly Sovereigns.

If Mu Chen were an Upper Earthly Sovereign, then the Western Kingdom War Emperor would have to admit that he had a higher chance of winning rate than Ling Zhanzi. But, there is no ifs in this world.

The Flame Emperor remained quiet when he heard his words, only giving a non-affirmative smile. Looking at his smile, the Western Kingdom War Emperor suddenly felt uneasy. Every time when the Flame Emperor smiled this way, Mu Chen would take out a shocking trump card not long after.

This lad… Did he keep a secret weapon that is even more powerful than this?

As the thought ran through his mind, the Western Kingdom War Emperor looked at Mu Chen, who was on the light screen, suspiciously. His eyebrow could not help but knit together as he did so.

…

The Ancient War Emperor Celestial Body? Mu Chen, who was standing on top of the Immortal Golden Body, stared at the enormous figure that was in front of him, his eyes slightly narrowed.

Apparently, he was a little taken aback by the superior grade of the Sovereign Celestial Body that Ling Zhanzi had cultivated. It was no that wonder this fellow disregarded most of the Upper Earthly Sovereigns. With a Celestial Body like this, most of the ordinary Upper Earthly Sovereign would not be able to match up with it!

“In this Battlefield of Upper Earthly Sovereigns, only Liu Xingchen managed to force me to use my Sovereign Celestial Body. But, he paid a heavy price for it. I wonder what price you will pay this time,” said Ling Zhanzi as he rode atop the War Emperor Celestial Body. He was looking down at Mu Chen in an intimidating way.

Weng!

Just as he finished his sentence, the War Emperor Celestial Body suddenly exploded into multiple beams of light and a glowing radiance gathered in the air. Countless light beams solidified into battle spears. Battle runes were engraved on these battle spears, and they exuded a violent fighting spirit.

Each battle spear could pierce through a Lower Earth Sovereign easily. As the battle spears were stacked up in an increasingly high volume, even an Upper Earthly Sovereign could not run away from them. A battle line-up like this was rather spectacular.

“The Sovereign Super Power, Battle Spear Spiritual Rain.” Ling Zhanzi yelled as he flicked his finger.

At that moment, millions of battle spears swept out like a rainstorm, immediately overcasting Mu Chen and his Immortal Golden Body like a dark cloud in the sky. A sharp exploding sound resounded in the air non-stop.

As Mu Chen looked at the overcasting shadow that fell like a rainstorm, his eyes were slightly narrowed. He quickly formed a seal with both hands. At the same time, the Immortal Golden Body that was under him suddenly let out a mysterious violet radiance.

“Immortal Ray!” he yelled.

The violet radiance glowed and surrounded both the Immortal Golden Body and Mu Chen like a violet eggshell. As the Immortal Golden Body had evolved from the Great Solar Undying Body, its defense capability was much higher than the latter. With the addition of the Immortal Ray as its shield, the Immortal Golden Body had an impregnable defense.

Ding Dang!

Many battle spears swept out as the violet rays were emitting a great power. Just as the battle spears struck onto the violet ray, they slowed down as if they were sinking in a muddy swamp.

Eventually, they halted a few meters away from the Immortal Golden Body. From afar, it could be seen that the Immortal Golden Body was wrapped up tightly by the battle spears, causing it to look like a porcupine.

“Get lost!” Mu Chen yelled.

As he opened his eyes again, a violet radiance surged forth. He then stomped his foot, and the Immortal Golden Body roared into the sky. The soundwave swept out like a windstorm.

Bang! Bang!

The spreading battle spears whizzed back towards Ling Zhanzi once again.

“Hmph!” As soon as he saw this, Ling Zhanzi made a seal with one hand, causing countless Battle Spears to melt away and turn into uncountable spotlights of fighting spirit, all of which surrounded him.

Boom!

The Ancient War Emperor Celestial Body stepped out its vast feet, causing the massive body to dart out. With overflowing spiritual energy on its huge fist, it charged fiercely towards the Immortal Golden Body in the most tyrannical way.

Bang!

The ground under the Immortal Golden Body collapsed at this time. But, Mu Chen did not back off, even when Ling Zhanzi was charging towards him with the War Emperor Celestial Body. Instead, he continued to circulate the Immortal Golden Body and charged forward.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

The two gigantic figures engaged in battle and entangled their bodies in the stretch of forest. Every swing of the fists were accompanied by great force, while the space burst and the land collapsed.

Countless gazes were staring dumbfoundedly at the two entangled figures, as all around the square, the spectators were amazed. Their eyes were wide, especially when they saw the little Immortal Golden Body of Mu Chen blocking all of the dominating attacks from the War Emperor Celestial Body.

The War Emperor Celestial Body came with majestic power that even an Upper Earthly Sovereign could not take a single punch from. But now, it could not even do anything to the mysterious Celestial Appearance!

The spectators had first thought that it would be an easy win for Ling Zhanzi after he summoned his War Emperor Celestial Appearance. But, the reality before their eyes made them realize that the mysterious Celestial Appearance was no weaker than the War Emperor Celestial Appearance!

Rumble!

The earth-shaking battle continued to wreak havoc in the endless stretch of forest. As the two gigantic figures passed by, all of the mountains were leveled into plains and the land collapsed constantly…

Boom!

The Immortal Golden Body and the War Emperor Celestial Appearance clashed hard once again and energy ripples spread out for a thousand miles. The space was bursting nonstop, sending uncountable fragments shooting out.

The two gigantic figures were thrown back at this time, their huge bodies slamming into the mountains and breaking down into pieces. Ling Zhanzi stood on the shoulder of his War Emperor Celestial Appearance and looked utterly sullen.

He had never expected that Mu Chen could engage in a fight to such an extent! That mysterious Sovereign Celestial Appearance of his was surprisingly tricky.

“What kind of Sovereign Celestial Body is he cultivating, such that the level of its mightiness is no weaker than mine?” Determination flashed across the sullen face of Ling Zhanzi.

All these years, he had been wiping out opponents of his levels with his War Emperor Celestial Body quite easily. Yet, it could not do anything to Mu Chen at the moment!

“This fellow is rather peculiar. To avoid more troubles in the future, I better finish him off now!” Radiance flickered in Ling Zhazi’s eyes.

By now, he was more cautious when dealing with Mu Chen. He no longer underestimated him like before.

Ling Zhanzi knew that in order to win against Mu Chen, he couldn’t hold back. With this thought, Ling Zhanzi no longer hesitated, but took a deep breath as a fierce and harsh radiance flashed in his eyes. Then, with a stomp in his feet, he changed his seals.

When he changed his seals, the three gigantic suspending light globes that were behind the head of the War Emperor Celestial Appearance suddenly exploded into bright rays. Mu Chen could vaguely see numerous figures, which were filled with fighting spirit, within the light globes.

He narrowed his pupils instantly. Within the light globes hid elite soldiers and troops with a domineering fighting spirit!
