Buzz! Buzz!

As the ancient Pagoda hung quietly in the air, the ferocious golems were lingering around it. The golems exuded an ominous aura that caused the void to twist.

“That’s the legendary Eight Budur!” one of the top powers exclaimed.

When the rest of the top powers, who were surrounding the Deification Pool, saw the eight ferocious golems, they were equally shocked. Apparently, they all recognized that it was the Eight Budur.

“Mu Chen has not only cultivated the Qi into Trinity, but he has also cultivated the Eight Budur. He has cultivated two Rare Super Powers out of the 36 Rare Super Powers!” another top power exclaimed.

Many top powers dropped their jaws. Although there were many Super Powers in the Great Thousand World, only 36 of them were the most powerful ones. They were rarely seen, and their strength was overwhelming!

Huang Xuanzhi was quite powerful since he had cultivated the Nine Rounds Toward Sanctification Technique, which was also one of the 36 Rare Super Powers. However, Mu Chen had just cultivated two of the 36 Rare Super Powers!

As Huang Jin looked at the water, he grew pale. His eyes were grave, as he had not expected for Mu Chen to be able to fend off Huang Xuanzhi’s deadly blow and counter-attack him with such an overbearing blow of his own!

The elders from the Phoenix Clan, who were standing behind Huang Jin, also looked pale. They seemed anxious, as they saw that Huang Xuanzhi was losing his edge over Mu Chen.

Mu Chen’s strength had currently been enhanced to the initial stage of the God Grade Heavenly Sovereign level, which meant that he was on par with Huang Xuanzhi. In addition to that, he possessed the mighty Super Power, the Eight Budur! Thus, the deadly blow that Mu Chen had just displayed was terrifying!

“I hope the Young Clan Leader is able to fend it off. There is a limitation to Mu Chen’s current strength. As long as he can survive this round, Mu Chen’s strength will be weakened. It will then be the best time for the Young Clan Leader to attack him!” one of the top powers said.

“Yes. As long as he can survive this round, Mu Chen will definitely be defeated!” another agreed.

The top powers whispered amongst themselves, while Huang Xuanzhi stood on the Golden Phoenix and stared coldly at the eight golems. He had the same thoughts as the elders of the Phoenix Clan. Although Mu Chen was invincible at the moment, as long as Huang Xuanzhi could last through this short period of time, Mu Chen’s strength would return back to square one.

“Since you wish to fight, I shall take you on!” Huang Xuanzhi’s eyes were bloodshot as he yelled.

As the Young Clan Leader of the Phoenix Clan, he was naturally arrogant. Although Mu Chen was mighty, Huang Xuanzhi believed that Mu Chen would not be able to do anything to him if he put up a good defense.

Mu Chen stood some distance away and ignored Huang Xuanzhi’s cold look. He then lifted up his head to look at the eight golems that were outside the pagoda, while he formed a seal with one hand.

Suddenly, a beam of light shot up into the sky from his head. It carried with it a vast spiritual energy that caused the sea to surge.

Roar!

The eight golems roared suddenly. They looked as though they had come to life as they all opened their mouths. They shared the vast spiritual energy that was contained in the light beam among themselves, soon devouring it.

After devouring such a majestic spiritual energy, the ominous aura in the eight golems surged crazily. They were so frightening and powerful, the top powers around the Deification Pool started to freeze in fear. These golems seemed to have been resurrected at this moment!

After all, these golems had been refined by 100 Demon Emperors! If this had happened in the Great Thousand World, it would be the equivalent of having been refined by 100 Heavenly Sovereigns! The thought of this alone was enough to shock everyone present!

Mu Chen glanced at Huang Xuanzhi with disdain as he formed a seal with his hands. As Mu Chen changed his seal, the eight golems formed similar seals. In the next instant, eight rays of red light spread out on their palms, then joined to one another to form a complex Octagon Light Array.

The ominous aura surged crazily within the Light Array, then started to shrink. Ultimately, it turned into a red photosphere.

Mottled blood prints covered the photosphere and filled the area with a mighty force. One look at it was enough to cause the spiritual energy of a Spiritual Grade Heavenly Sovereign to grow chaotic.

As Huang Xuanzhi felt the horrifying fluctuations, he was shocked. Fear filled his eyes and he started to scrunch up his face. Apparently, he sensed a deadly danger from the red photosphere.

However, Mu Chen did not give him time to think about it, as he took in a deep breath and said in a deep voice, “Eight Budur, the Budur Demon Jade!”

Boom!

After Mu Chen’s voice died down, the ominous aura in the area became stronger and the eight golems roared. The red photosphere suddenly burst out and headed toward Huang Xuanzhi.

Crack! Crack!

Wherever the red photosphere passed, the space would collapse. It was so destructive that all of the top powers standing outside the Deification Pool widened their eyes and looked at it with fear.

Huang Xuanzhi, who was deep within the sea, looked at the red photosphere that was coming toward him through the collapsed space and felt the coldness from the bottom of his feet. Even he sensed death knocking on his door at this moment. He knew that if he was hit by the red photosphere, he would be dead!

Is this the power of the Eight Budur? It is so mighty!

As Huang Xuanzhi thought this, his eyes turned sharp. It was too late for him to retreat, so he could only do his best to counter the blow. Although Mu Chen had powerful means, it would not be easy for Mu Chen to deal with him!

Roar!

A deep roar burst out from Huang Xuanzhi’s throat as he formed a seal with his hands at lightning speed. He then bit his tongue and spewed out a mouthful of Blood Essence.

The Blood Essence was golden in color, and when Huang Xuanzhi spat it out, his face turned pale. However, he was not bothered by it. At that moment, the Golden Apertures that were behind his head rotated and devoured the Blood Essence.

Boom! Boom!

After swallowing the Golden Blood Essence, the Golden Apertures suddenly expanded and exuded a powerful force. Following that, several rays of golden light shot out.

Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!

Then, eight rays of golden light shot out simultaneously and hung around Huang Xuanzhi. He had activated the eight Super Powers at one go, but did not stop there.

The Golden Apertures continued to rotate, and as they moved on with much effort, the ninth ray of obscure and overbearing golden light suddenly appeared. Given Huang Xuanzhi’s current strength, although he was still unable to display the ninth Super Power, in the face of such a dire situation, he had to try do so by force.

Swish! Swish!

Huang Xuanzhi looked at the ninth golden light with a ferocious look on his face. He then spat out another mouthful of Golden Blood Essence into the apertures. This time around, the ninth obscure golden light finally took shape.

However, as Huang Xuanzhi had done this by force, small cracks started to appear on the Golden Apertures. This caused him to feel a great heartache. He knew that even if he managed to defeat Mu Chen, he would need a long time to recuperate.

What a stupid fella! Huang Xuanzhi thought, while he grit his teeth.

His eyes were filled with a cold killing intent as he asked, “Are you thinking of defeating me with your deadly blow? I will show you how naïve you are! Nine Rounds Toward Sanctification Technique, the Nine Rounds Phoenix Bowl!”

After Huang Xuanzhi shouted, the nine dazzling golden light gathered together and rotated crazily. They then turned into a huge Golden Bowl, which the real phoenix flew above, while chirping. At the same time, the real phoenix blew out powerful flames that could destroy the heavens and the earth!

The Phoenix Bowl rotated and covered Huang Xuanzhi. This was the most powerful Super Power in the Nine Rounds Toward Sanctification Technique. Although Huang Xuanzhi was unable to display it to its full strength, it was still profound and powerful.

Huang Xuanzhi’s eyes were red as he fixed his gaze on Mu Chen. He believed that Mu Chen would not be able to break through this defense! As long as he could survive this round of attacks, Mu Chen’s destiny would be in his hands!

“Come on!” Huang Xuanzhi shouted.

As the top powers outside the Deification Pool looked on with anticipation, the red photosphere came down from the heavens and hit hard upon the Golden Phoenix Bowl.

Boom! Boom!

At this moment, the whole area shook and a tidal wave swirled out from the bottom of the sea, causing several waterfalls to burst out in the lake. They then turned into rainstorms and covered the entire forest.

The top powers from the Divine Beast Clans were shocked. The Deification Pool had a space of its own and was quite vast, but even so, the effect of the collision that had been created by Mu Chen and Huang Xuanzhi had traveled out to them! That collision was simply too powerful!

After the rainstorm came down, all eyes were fixed on the surface of the water. There, a dazzling light raged out crazily, and after a few minutes, it gradually dissipated. Everyone, including Huang Jin and Clan Leader Tianhuang, held their breaths and looked on.

After the light dissipated from the surface of the water, the surroundings became clear. All of them were shocked when they saw golden light shimmering on the Golden Phoenix Bowl. Then, as the red photosphere was spinning above the Golden Phoenix Bowl, they could see that it was shrinking!

“Has he managed to counter it?” one of the elders asked.

When the elders of the Phoenix Clan saw the scene, they were elated, as they could feel the power of the red photosphere dissipating. In just a short while, the red photosphere had shrunk down to the size of a human head.

Huang Xuanzhi’s face was filled with joy, as he sensed that his victory was at hand!

Crack!

Suddenly, a cracking sound was heard. Huang Xuanzhi lifted up his head and was shocked to see cracks spreading out on the Golden Bowl from the spot where the red photosphere had just landed!

Crack! Crack!

These small cracks were the cause of the rupture. Once one crack appeared, other cracks started to spread out, and in a short while, the Golden Bowl was filled with cracks. At the moment, the red photosphere was currently the size of a palm.

“You have lost!” Mu Chen, who was standing in the distance, said with disdain.

Bang!

The moment Mu Chen finished his statement, the Golden Phoenix Bowl reached its limit and exploded all of a sudden. Huang Xuanzhi was shocked. The phoenix wings behind his back then spread out as he tried to retreat.

Swoosh!

However, at this moment, the red photosphere fell on him and blasted his chest mercilessly! Part of Huang Xuanzhi’s body exploded, while the Golden Phoenix Shadow that was underneath his feet froze.

In the next instant, the Golden Phoenix Shadow exploded and turned into golden light spots. Huang Xuanzhi’s body then fell feebly among the golden light spots and the air outside the Deification Pool suddenly became still.
