The Great Ruler (Web Novel)

Chapter 627 - Punch of a Sovereign

Mu Chen stood on the Great Meru Demonic Pillar as the Baleful Aura swept out in this region. The pressure from the moment it burst made everyone hold their breath.

Everyone had their heads raised up as they looked at the towering slender silhouette. His face was filled with coldness and killing intent, coldly staring at Ji Xuan from far away with a scarlet-red eye and the other one flickering with lightning as he calmly said, “There wasn’t a result back then, let us put an end to things now.”

Ji Xuan’s gaze was dark as he slowly replied, “Looks like I did a little extra in the Mirror of Judgement, which gave you a fortune.”

Judging from the current situation, Mu Chen clearly obtained a considerable fortune when he was trapped in the Spiritual Energy vortex. Thus, giving leaps and bounds to his strength, reaching Third Grade Spirit Disaster and even established his own Sovereign Sea at this moment, and standing on the same level as him right now.

When Mu Chen gave no comment to his speech, the chill in his eyes grew colder.

“But fortunately, you have not disappointed me. Otherwise, my fear for you would've been a joke.” Ji Xuan slowly grasped his hand, and divine light gathered, forming into a beautiful, divine long spear in a flash. The shape of this spear was very unusual as there was a pair of wings unfolding on the body of the spear. Those wings looked similar to that of an angel’s.

Vigorous and blazing divine light spread out in circles with formidable ripples being emitted from it.

“Angel Spear…” Dean Tai Cang blinked his eyes when he saw the long spear in Ji Xuan’s hand that was emitting powerful ripples and spoke with a faint tone, “What a huge hand from the Saint Spiritual Academy, even giving the Low Rank Divine Artifact of the academy to Ji Xuan.”

“Haha, Ji Xuan displayed an outstanding performance in the academy and with contributions. Thus, we gave him the Angel Spear.” Dean Tiansheng of the Saint Spiritual Academy responded with a slight smile, “But even though this Angel Spear is indeed formidable, compared to that demonic pillar of Mu Chen’s, it’s still a little inferior. Looks like the Northern Heavens Spiritual Academy spent a great amount of effort as well.”

Clearly, he didn’t feel that the Great Meru Demonic Pillar was obtained by Mu Chen himself and was bestowed upon by the Northern Heavens Spiritual Academy.

Dean Tai Cang sneered and wasn’t bothered to explain much as he shifted his gaze onto the two in midair. The atmosphere in that area was increasingly hostile.

Everyone looked at the sky with gazes of excitement and expectations. The two before them probably stood at the highest peak amongst all the Spiritual Academies of their generation. Their confrontation would definitely be the fight for the Championship and would also be the brightest fight in this tournament.

Buzz!

Under the countless stares, Ji Xuan gripped his longspear tighter, and in the next instant, his gaze grew abruptly cold. His body trembled, disappearing from his spot.

Boom!

But in the next instant he disappeared, Mu Chen threw out a fist without any hesitation towards the space before him.

Rumble!

Black lightning frantically surged as lightning mixed into the vast Spiritual Energy. It was like an enraged dragon roaring. The offensive power behind that fist could even cause a Third Grade Spirit Disaster to suffer grave injuries.

In the empty space, an extremely sharp longspear tore it’s way out with divine light surging. The overbearing blaze even caused distortions in the area. The longspear swept across, before the piercing speartip swiftly clashed against the fist enveloped in lightning.

Boom!

A metallic collision rang out.

A dreadful gale swept out from the fist and spear, spreading out visible layers of fluctuations.

Mu Chen’s body did not move in the slightest as he looked up ahead. The spaxe was a little distorted, and Ji Xuan’s silhouette was nowhere in sight, only a longspear had pierced through space.

“Meaningless probing, is there still any meaning for it?”

Mu Chen maintained indifference as he threw another punch forth. That punch was similar to lightning as it streaked across the horizon and swiftly bombarded the empty space with an indescribable speed.

Rumble!

Lightning exploded in the emptiness, and a figure was sent flying away. The figure was pushed back a dozen of steps in the air, before he could stabilise himself. Everyone directed their gazes over and saw Ji Xuan, who was wearing a dark expression, wielding that longspear.

“Hmph.”

Ji Xuan snorted with a cold gaze as the look in his eyes turned heavy, before he formed hand seals with both hands. The space behind him distorted as myriads of light exploded from the Sovereign Sea that was filled with divine light. Shortly after, the Sovereign Sea violently whistled, and many rays of divine light shot out.

“Sacred Light Art - Prison of the Angels!”

Along with Ji Xuan’s cold bark resounding, countless rays of divine light converged into hundreds of divine light humanoid figures. The appearance of those humanoid figures wasn’t clear, but they all had a pair of wings flapping behind them. Every single one of those divine light figures was emitting powerful Spiritual Energy ripples that weren’t inferior to Spirit Disaster experts.

Innumerable people inwardly smacked their lips around the Golden Battle Stage. Ji Xuan was indeed formidable to have cultivated such a profound Divine Art. What he did was basically no different to scattering seeds into soldiers. Just this move alone revealed the difference between the Sovereign Realm and Spirit Disaster. It wasn’t something an ordinary method could compete against. If Mu Chen hadn’t established his own Sovereign Sea at this point in time, he might not even be able to fight with Ji Xuan.

“Kill!”

Ji Xuan’s gaze was cold as the longspear in his hand trembled, and those light figures immediately charged out, whistling in the air. They formed into a formation and engulfed Mu Chen.

Rustle! Rustle!

Those divine angels wielded longspears made of divine light as they shot towards Mu Chen.

“Scram!”

Mu Chen’s gaze grew cold as well as he stomped his feet, countless scarlet rays of light swept out from the scarlet Sovereign Sea and shot towards those approaching angels.

However, the instant the two forces clashed, a cold arc rose on the corner of Ji Xuan’s lips as he changed his hand seals, “Angel’s Burial!”

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Earth-shattering explosions resounded as the angels suddenly exploded, forming into a terrible divine light hurricane that enveloped Mu Chen. The hurricane was approximately a thousand feet in size, creating large cracks on the Golden Battle Stage underneath.

That terrifying commotion made innumerable people lose colour on their faces. It was scarce for a confrontation of such a level to occur in the Great Spiritual Academy Tournament.

The divine light hurricane violently wreaked havoc as everyone had their eyes fixed on it. Under such a fearsome attack, even Mu Chen would have a hard time dealing with it, right?

The divine light hurricane gradually dispersed as numerous gazes were staring at it without blinking and, shortly after, suppressed trembling commotions rang out. Even Ji Xuan slightly narrowed his eyes in the sky.

The hurricane faded away and up in the sky, there was still a silhouette standing in the air, it was Mu Chen.

His clothes were torn apart with lightning flowing on the surface of his body and nine lightning runes flickering on his chest, the roaring of thunder constantly rang out from him. Aside from having his clothing shattered, there weren’t any injuries on Mu Chen. It was as if the offensive attack from before did no harm to him.

“What a fearsome physical body…” Someone exclaimed in astonishment and gulped a mouthful of saliva.

Up in midair, the youth was naked on his upper body, his skin was radiating like silver. Although his slender figure wasn’t robust or masculine, it was this frail body of his that made others feel as if he couldn’t be rocked by the falling of the sky or rending of the earth.

Both of Mu Chen’s eyes were radiating at this moment, even the powerful Baleful Aura in his body could not control the violent lightning. Both of his fists were tightly clenched as his eyes that were flickering with lightning stared at Ji Xuan with indifference. It was like a deity looking at an ant from high above.

“If your attack is only at this level, then it’s my turn.”

Although Mu Chen’s speech was slow, it was accompanied by the roaring of lightning as it fell along with every single one of his words. The rumbling noise resonating in this region shook even the Spiritual Energy between the heavens and earth.

Rumble!

When Mu Chen finished his last word, someone detected that the sky had darkened and abruptly raised his head. Overwhelmed with shock, that person saw layers of thunderclouds in the air that had appeared who knows when. Those thunderclouds engulfed an area of a few thousand feet in radius. No one dared to breathe too heavily from the pitch-black thunderclouds.

Silver lightning was flickering in the thunderclouds, like lightning dragons wriggling as they emitted great pressure.

Boom!

The thunderclouds moved. A massive bolt of lightning tore through the layers of clouds as it dived down. However, the direction of the lightning wasn’t Ji Xuan, it going to heavily strike Mu Chen.

Boom!

The vast lightning profoundly struck Mu Chen, but there wasn’t any lightning that flowed out as it was all absorbed into Mu Chen’s physical body.

Tsk! Tsk!

The black lightning started to solidify on the surface of Mu Chen’s body and in just a few breaths’ time, a layer of black lightning armour was formed. It had a ferocious appearance when it appeared on Mu Chen’s body. Under the lightning armour, Mu Chen’s figure seemed to have swollen up by several folds, becoming a lightning giant.

The fluctuations emitted from his body was extremely dreadful.

“One move is all I need to deal with you.”

Under the amour, a pair of eyes flickering with lightning fixed onto Ji Xuan as a rumbling noise resonated between the heavens and earth. Mu Chen strode forth, and in the next instant, he had already mysteriously appeared above Ji Xuan and threw a punch forth. That punch wasn’t fancy, but it contained pure violent power.

At this instant, the lightning in the thunderclouds danced along with the torrential Spiritual Energy that was gushing out from the scarlet Sovereign Sea and poured into Mu Chen’s arm.

The Nona Rune Lightning Physique and the power of his Sovereign Sea were converged into a single point as he threw a simple punch forth.

Boom!

Space shattered with that punch.

That punch made Ji Xuan’s expression instantly change, even the Deans of the various academies had exceptionally solemn expressions on their faces, since this punch of Mu Chen’s actually possessed the might of a genuine Sovereign Realm expert!
