The Great Ruler

Chapter 724 - Second Grade VS Third Grade

Chapter 724 - Second Grade VS Third Grade

The golden lightning forcefield spread across the sky as it enveloped the entire area. Even after looking at the lightning forcefield, there wasn’t any of the panic on Mu Chen’s face that Qin Ling had predicted.

“Disrupting Battle Will...”

Mu Chen smiled as he raised his head. His gaze was fixed onto Qin Ling, who had folded his arms against his chest, as a chill flashed across his eyes. Speaking from a certain degree, Qin Ling’s actions were just as he wanted.

Although he could gain a slight upper hand with his comprehension and control over Battle Will, the Nine Nether Troop’s foundation was still too weak and the members of the Demonic Lightning House weren’t amateurs. So Mu Chen didn’t have absolute confidence that he could emerge victorious by relying on the Nine Nether Battle Will. At the very best, he could only drag the battle on.

But now that both sides had lost the usage of Battle Will, they fell back to their initial capabilities. Perhaps this was a terrible situation for Mu Chen in the eyes of others, since he was just a Second Grade Sovereign, whereas Qin Ling had a cultivation of Third Grade Sovereign.

But, to Mu Chen, since they were both removed of Battle Will, this increased his chances of success instead.

With the Demonic Lightning House, Qin Ling would give Mu Chen quite the headache. But now... losing the protective layer of the Demonic Lightning House, the threat of Qin Ling was lowered in Mu Chen’s heart instead.

“Looks like you’re pretty calm.”

Qin Ling stood in the air with his arms folded against his chest. Greyish-black lightning flickered around him as space fluctuated behind him. Faintly, there was a massive ocean as stunning Spiritual Energy pressure enveloped this region.

“Demonic Lightning Physique!”

Qin Ling smiled and his gaze abruptly grew cold. He formed seals with both of his hands and his figure swiftly expanded at a stunning speed. His skin was rapidly turning black, as if it was forged with metal. Under his skin, there were veins wriggling like dragons. In just a short dozen breaths’ time, Qin Ling had turned into a black giant with greyish-black lightning shrouding around him.

A mighty power spread out. The Demonic Lightning Physique that Qin Ling had cultivated was clearly a pretty formidable Lightning-attributed Body Refining Divine Art!

“I can sense lightning energy from your body. I believe you must have also cultivated a Lightning-attributed Divine Art. However... I’m afraid that it’s just child’s play.”

Qin Ling’s voice had turned erratic as the explosion from his voice was piercing to the ears.

“Demonic Lightning Physique?”

Mu Chen was a little astonished as he looked at Qin Ling’s black figure. Shortly after, he couldn’t help grinning. “I’ll take a look at whose Divine Art is child’s play today!”

Both of Mu Chen’s hands formed seals as dazzling lightning suddenly burst out from his body. It was only a blink of an eye as a silvery lustre dazzled the eyes. He had clearly executed the Lightning God’s Physique to the limits.

After executing the Lightning God’s Physique, Mu Chen’s figure was still smaller in size compared to Qin Ling. However, the deep rumbles of thunder had suppressed the lightning pressure coming from Qin Ling instead.

“Mhm?!”

Qin Ling looked at Mu Chen, who had almost turned into lightning, as he narrowed his eyes. Although he had indeed sensed some lightning energy coming from Mu Chen’s body, he never expected that the unremarkable lightning energy would burst out with such power upon executing it.

But it was still insufficient for it to bring fear to Qin Ling. He coldly sneered and stomped his feet. His bizarre-looking figure had directly appeared before Mu Chen and he threw a palm out, aiming towards the latter’s head.

Wind and thunder rang out as swift as lightning.

Boom!

But no matter how fast he was, Mu Chen’s speed was even more ferocious. He brought out all the power in his hand and clench it into a fist, along with the tyrannical power, and slammed against the palm. A terrifying Spiritual Energy burst out as it destroyed Qin Ling’s palm energy.

Rustle!

But Qin Ling was, after all, not an amateur. He possessed rich fighting experience that far surpassed others. Failing that attack, his legs turned onto lightning, leaving behind afterimages and shattering space as he continuously unleashed attacks against Mu Chen’s chest.

There wasn’t any change in Mu Chen’s expression as his legs became as swift as lightning as they clashed.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The speed of the two’s attacks were dazzling as ordinary people could only see streaks of lightning flying as thunderous rumbles resounded throughout the sky.

In just a dozen breaths of time, the two of them had already exchanged over a hundred moves. The two of them relied entirely on their physical bodies and every clash was similar to metal colliding with metal. That level of confrontation made many people’s eyes twitch.

Boom!

Lightning tore through the horizon as the two lightning figures clashed again. Their fists were like lightning and every clash would have lightning bursting out from their fists, before the two of them were sent flying back.

Mu Chen retreated a hundred steps, before he stomped his feet, stabilising his figure. His arm trembled as his sleeves turned into dust and descended towards the ground.

Qin Ling only took dozens of steps back. Regardless of anything, the strength of a Third Grade Sovereign still gave him quite the bit of advantage in this confrontation.

Qin Ling clenched his hands, letting out bone-cracking noises as he darkly looked at Mu Chen. There was a trace of astonishment in the depths of his eyes. He never expected that the brat before him could contend with him on physical body to this extent.

His Demonic Lightning Physique was something that he cultivated in the Demonic Lightning Abyss for ten years before obtaining some achievements in it. But the physical body of this fellow before him wasn’t any weaker than him.

It was an outcome that he wasn’t fond of.

Even after plotting to remove the Battle Will, another stalemate situation wasn’t something he wanted!

C

A chill flashed in Qin Ling’s eyes as he inhaled a deep breath and formed seals. In an instant, layers of thunderclouds appeared between the heavens and earth as greyish-black lightning swiftly gathered around him. In a few breaths’ time, a massive lightning figure had appeared around Qin Ling.

“Demonic Lightning Celestial Body!”

When Qin Ling barked, the lightning figure was fully materialised. The huge figure’s palm clenched and gave an abrupt pull. With a zapping sound, a greyish-black electric whip that was tens of thousands of feet was condensed, and with a rustle, it tore through space as it coiled towards Mu Chen like an enraged dragon.

“Demonic Lightning Whip!”

Mu Chen’s body jolted. The electric whip had already shot out from space and violently penetrated his body.

Landing his attack, Qin Ling wasn’t delighted. On the contrary, he frowned his brows because he saw Mu Chen’s figure slowly disappearing, leaving behind an afterimage.

Rustle!

Qin Ling’s gaze slightly flicked as the electric whip abruptly drew back towards his rear and drawing a dazzling arc in the sky.

Boom!

The space behind him was torn apart as a dragon figure flew out. Shortly after, a torrential ominous aura surged forth as the Great Meru Demonic Pillar violently slammed towards the massive lightning figure, casting a shadow down.

Zaaaap!

The electric whip was stunningly fast as it swiftly coiled around the Great Meru Demonic Pillar first, binding it. The greyish-lightning was zapping over, attempting to refine the Great Meru Demonic Pillar.

Crackle!

The ominous aura also burst out from the Great Meru Demonic Pillar as it resisted the corroding lightning.

“This Ominous Artifact is pretty good, I want it!” Qin Ling licked his lips as he let out an eerie smile. The power behind the electric whip increased as it pulled the Great Meru Demonic Pillar back. The power behind that pull was something that even Mu Chen could not hold up against even after pushing his Lightning God’s Physique to the limit. After all, Qin Ling had brought out his Sovereign Celestial Body right now.

“You want to take my stuff? I’m just afraid that you will be stuffed to death!”

Mu Chen’s face had turned cold at this moment as a golden light surged forth in his eyes. A dazzling golden light burst out in every direction. In just a few breaths’ time, a massive figure that looked to be forged from gold appeared in the sky with a blazing sun hovering behind its head, making it look mighty and powerful.

It was the Great Solar Undying Body!

The hand of the Great Solar Undying Body held onto the Great Meru Demonic Pillar. In an instant, the power behind that pull was negated. No matter how the Demonic Lightning Celestial Body tried, it could not pull it any further.

“You want it? Then I’ll give it to you!”

A chill flashed in Mu Chen’s eyes as an appalling ominous aura burst out from the Great Meru Demonic Pillar, forcing the hand of the Demonic Lightning Celestial Body away. Thereafter, the Great Solar Undying Body took a step forward, and as golden light surged, it caused even the sky to tremble.

Boom!

The brilliant golden light was like liquid as it flowed out, dying the black Great Meru Demonic Pillar gold, as if it was forged with gold. Thereafter, the golden pillar shattered the layers of thunderclouds in the sky and violently smashed towards the Demonic Lightning Celestial Body, carrying the terrifying power from the Great Solar Undying Body with it.

“Demonic Lightning Mount Lifting Hand!”

The terrifying energy that was enveloping him abruptly caused Qin Ling’s face to change. He could not imagine how Mu Chen was able to possess such powerful strength. But at this moment, he did not dare to delay. He formed seals with both of his hands and the Demonic Lightning Celestial Body had sent both of its palms out. The greyish-black lightning that covered the sky converged, forming into a huge lightning palm. It was as if the lightning palm were supporting the sky, and it was as majestic as a mountain.

Boom!

Under the countless gazes, the golden demonic pillar violently slammed down as an earth-shaking and heart-alarming noise rang out.

An extremely violent Spiritual Energy storm raged in the sky.

The commotion caused the chaotic battle below to briefly pause as everyone uncontrollably stared at the sky.

There, the golden demonic pillar was slowly pressing down as the huge electric palm that looked like it could even bear the weight of the sky was sinking, bit by bit.

Although the descending speed was slow, it could not be stopped.

Instantly, Qin Ling’s face turned ugly.

Crack!

As Qin Ling’s face turned ugly, a fine cracking noise suddenly resounded. Countless experts blinked their eyes as a subtle golden light bloomed and were getting brighter.

Rumble!

The golden light was pouring everywhere as the powerful lightning palm shattered!

Countless experts inwardly inhaled a mouthful of chilled air.

Who would have thought that even after bringing out the Demonic Lightning Celestial Body, Qin Ling was still suppressed by Mu Chen, who only had the cultivation of Second Grade Sovereign!

This scene wasn’t something that Qin Ling had planned in his scripts!
