Ruuuuumble!

The gigantic crystal pagoda landed, and its gigantic shadow covered the plains of the North Region. Countless powerful individuals lifted their gazes in fearful astonishment at the gigantic pagoda. A terrifying aura was exuded from within the pagoda.

The crystal pagoda was erected straight from the ground. Sage Zi Yun and the other two, along with their Sovereign Celestial Appearances, were sucked into the pagoda without a trace.

Everybody stared at each other. This sudden turn of events was beyond anyone’s expectation.

“What is Mu Chen doing? This crystal pagoda does not seem to be some sort of sacred object.”

“Whatever he’s doing, does he really think he can take on three clan leaders by himself and emerge victorious today?”

“That is totally impossible.”

“It’s just a desperate last resort.”

“…”

Countless whispers broke out and spread within the North Region. It was clear that not many were in favor of Mu Chen. After all, it was inconceivable that he could take on three clan leaders on his own.

Facing the crowd’s noise, Mandela and those with her did not care. They merely lifted their heads and looked at the crystal pagoda. They knew that the conclusion was almost at hand when Mu Chen summoned the crystal pagoda.

Within the crystal pagoda, an immense crystal spiritual energy raged like a storm, and three looming figures stood erect and tall. They were Sage Zi Yun, Reverend Thunder, and Golden Eagle King, and all three stared at the pagoda with doubt and anxiety in their eyes.

“Hmph, kid, trying to perform some magic tricks?” Sage Zi Yun jeered coldly as he stared gloomily in Mu Chen’s direction.

Reverend Thunder nodded and said, “Estate Master Mu, why do you resist so stubbornly? Just leave the North Region with your Mu Estate, and we will not trouble you henceforth.”

Floating in mid-air, Mu Chen crossed his arms and looked at the three. He then spoke with a half-hearted smile, “Why? Are you afraid now?”

“Laughable,” Sage Zi Yun jeered.

“What shameless boasting,” Golden Eagle King commented coldly as well.

“Let’s work together to destroy this pagoda at once!” Reverend Thunder exclaimed loudly. He didn’t know why, but this crystal pagoda made him feel extremely uneasy. As such, he wanted to escape that place as soon as possible.

Sage Zi Yun and Golden Eagle King nodded in response. Although they seemed to be merely annoyed, deep down they were fearful of this crystal pagoda. They understood clearly that Mu Chen would never summon a useless thing. Since he had spent so much energy summoning this crystal pagoda, there must be a reason behind it.

Boom!

The three focused their minds, and their Sovereign Celestial Appearances exuded immense spiritual energy. As spiritual clouds surrounded them, spiritual energy streamers a few hundred thousand feet long, like pillars reaching to the skies, crashed violently into the pagoda.

Seeing this, Mu Chen hastily formed a seal with one of his hands. The crystal pagoda shook slightly, and a crystal cover wrapped itself around the pagoda, completely nullifying the violent and terrible attacks from the three Sovereign Celestial Appearances.

While controlling the crystal pagoda’s defenses, Mu Chen lifted his head and looked at the crystal pagoda. His expression gradually turned serious. He put his hands together, forming various seals so quickly that afterimages of his hands could be seen. As the seals were formed, the surrounding walls of the crystal pagoda were etched with ancient patterns. Eventually, eight portraits gradually appeared on the pagoda’s walls.

“What is that?”

When the eight portraits emerged, the entire crystal pagoda was filled with a terrible wave. Sage Zi Yun and the other two immediately realized this. They quickly looked up and stared at the pagoda’s walls with terror deep within their eyes.

The eight portraits on the pagoda’s walls seemed extremely ancient. Their expressions were fierce. Within their raging eyes was a seemingly destructive power. Just looking at them would trap one within boundless fear. Surrounded by the raging stares of the eight portraits, a surge of fear flooded the hearts of the three.

Mu Chen stared back at the eight fearsome portraits. They were like eight demonic gods, quietly creeping and crawling upon the walls, locking onto their enemies with their pitch black eyes, ready to unleash their destructive force at any given moment.

They were, naturally, the Eight Budur.

“Today, I shall use the three of you to test the power of the Eight Budur.” Mu Chen looked at the three with a calm expression. With a sway of his robes, countless droplets of sovereign spiritual liquid flew out of his sleeves, forming streams of gushing rivers. In total, there were 80,000,000 spiritual liquid droplets.

Controlling the Eight Budur consumed a huge amount of spiritual energy. Even if Mu Chen spent all of his spiritual energy, it would not be enough, so he had to supplement it with an immense amount of sovereign spiritual liquid. If Mu Chen had not broken through to completion before this, he would have needed to spend 150,000,000 spiritual liquid droplets.

“Good thing I brought all the sovereign spiritual liquid stored in the Mu Estate’s inventory.” Mu Chen let out a sigh in his heart. Without further hesitation, he took a deep breath and changed his seal. The river formed by 80,000,000 spiritual liquid droplets flowed with a roar.

Then, upon the crystal pagoda’s walls, the eight portraits of the demonic gods opened their wide jaws and consumed the tumbling, raging streams, completely swallowing and absorbing them into their bodies. As the immense spiritual energy entered them, the eight demonic portraits were suddenly moving, creeping. Slowly, their upper bodies emerged from the wall, peeking out from the surface.

At this moment, they had materialized.

Growl!

A terrifying spiritual energy pressure raged on within the crystal pagoda. The pressure was so intense that the trio’s faces went pale. They could feel a deathly aura coming from the eight demonic portraits.

“Leave this pagoda, now!” Sage Zi Yun’s trio shouted almost in unison. The three immediately worked together, sending strikes at the void in an attempt to tear it apart and escape the pagoda through a rift.

However, it was clear that Mu Chen did not want to allow them this opportunity. After spending such a huge price to control the Eight Budur, he must have hoped to gain a result from the battle equivalent to the cost. That being the case, he quickly formed a seal.

Roar!

As the seal was formed, the eight demonic portraits emitted an explosive growl. Within the growl was a destructive aura. Three of the demonic portraits stared at the trio with rage. They extended their fingers, pointing at Sage Zi Yun and the other two.

Swoosh!

Eight pitch black rays of light shot out of their fingertips. Everywhere the ray touched, the space collapsed, and even the spiritual energies of that space were eliminated completely, without a trace.

The oppressive pitch black ray shot forth. Although it did not seem great, the faces of Sage Zi Yun’s trio went even more pale, and their eyes filled with fear. It was obvious that they felt a fatal crisis coming upon them.

“Let’s do it together!” Their countenances lost the calm they once had, and they let out a low growl.

“Purple Cloud Cover!”

“Varja Unbreakable Bell!”

“Golden Wing Divine Armor!”

At the same time, the three Sovereign Celestial Appearances merged together, and an immense spiritual energy shot out, creating three layers of protection right above them. On the first level, a layer of purple cloud was steaming, and it looked like a purple light barrier with mysterious patterns on it. Below it was a giant golden bell, and below that was enormous armor formed by golden wings.

Facing the pitch black rays, the three of them did not hesitate at all to team up and summon their strongest defenses. With these three layers of defense before them, only a true Heavenly Sovereign could break through!

Swoosh!

When the three layers of barriers materialized, the eight rays of pitch black light approached in a flash and clashed strongly against the first layer of purple cloud light barrier.

Buzz! Buzz!

The moment they clashed, there were, surprisingly, no loud bangs at all. However, Sage Zi Yun saw fearfully that his barrier did not seem to have worked, as the eight rays of pitch black light pierced through it directly. There was truly a terrible and destructive power contained within.

Ding!

Then, the giant golden bell rang, but it sounded more like a cry of desperation. Before they could celebrate, countless cracks emerged on the bell’s surface, and it crumbled and fell apart.

Tskkk!

As the bell crumbled, the pitch black light shined upon the armor of golden wings. A darkness instantly spread upon it, as if corroding the armor. Within several breaths, the giant golden armor melted into a black liquid that dripped down.

Sludge!

Sage Zi Yun and the other two inhaled sharply, and their eyes were filled with the color of fear. They could not believe that their fully-powered defense was so vulnerable to the eight rays of pitch black light!

Mu Chen looked on calmly, as if everything was going according to plan. “Eight Budur is the true offensive type Rare Super Power, and is first in the ranking of 36 volumes of Rare Super Powers.”

In the olden days, Ancestor Budur had used it to bring down many Demon Emperors. Now, it was used against three who were nearly Heavenly Sovereigns. As such, its effect was so unbelievably powerful and unparalleled.

Mu Chen pointed softly and said calmly, “Go.”

Swoosh!

Eight rays of pitch black light expanded instantly. The next moment, the eight beams all shot into the three Sovereign Celestial Appearances before the trio could realize it.

Tsktsk!

Everywhere the black light touched, a black corrosive liquid emerged and spread at a terrifying speed. Sage Zi Yun and the other two looked at their Sovereign Celestial Appearances below them. They could feel their Sovereign Celestial Appearances rapidly crumbling. Even the corrosive black liquid was climbing toward them via their Sovereign Celestial Appearances and was about to eat away at their actual bodies.

No matter how they summoned their spiritual energy to suppress it, they could not defend themselves against the black liquid! Their faces turned pale. They could not have imagined that the situation that had been in their control the moment before would suddenly become so difficult. They also could not understand how Mu Chen, who had merely reached completion, implemented such a devastating attack.

Nevertheless, the cruel truth approached them. The Sovereign Celestial Appearances beneath them were about to collapse. The overbearing black light was spreading like a virus toward their actual bodies.

“Spiritual Appearance Self-Destruct!” The three of them exchanged looks and clenched their jaws. At this moment, they could only cut their losses by sacrificing their Sovereign Celestial Appearances. If they were to be corroded by the black light, they were sure to suffer a heavy blow.

Boom!

The three of them made up their minds, and with a thought, the Sovereign Celestial Appearances beneath their feet exploded into a billion shards of spiritual light with a deafening bang. A terrible shockwave spread out and violently shook the crystal pagoda.

Seeing this, Mu Chen’s brows twitched slightly. With a wave of his sleeves, the crystal pagoda instantly shrank, eventually turning into a streamer and burrowing into his pupils.

Sage Zi Yun and the other two retreated rapidly. They were pleased to see Mu Chen retrieving his crystal pagoda. It seemed like the explosion had roused Mu Chen’s caution. However, they wanted to leave quickly to prevent Mu Chen from sucking them into the pagoda again.

This thought arose within the three, and they immediately backed off swiftly without any hesitation. But at that moment of retreat, the void before them started to crumble away. As the void crumbled away, the eyes of the three narrowed.

Swoosh! Swoosh!

Several black beams pierced through the void, homing in on them, directly hitting their bodies as their faces were in shock.
