Chapter 868 - Five Kings

Chapter 868 - Five Kings

The black troop spread out like a tidal wave before them, along with their ink-black Battle Will surging above them. The demonic wolf howled towards the sky and the Battle Will rolled, making others feel an astonishing pressure.

The countenance of the Kings changed at this moment.

The boundless Battle Will pressure had made them feel a threat to their lives. It was no wonder why even the Sixth Grade Sovereign Realm expert of the Martial Pole Sect was killed by them.

Mu Chen had also looked at the troop before him with a solemn expression. Thereafter, his gaze focused above the troop, towards the black silhouette in the ocean of Battle Will and said, “This troop has a Commander that can form the Spirit of Battle Will as well...”

The countenance of Nine Nether and the rest trembled. This Death Ruin was truly filled with so much danger that even a zombie troop that had lost their consciousness could still form their Battle Will Spirit.

Under their alerted gazes, the black silhouette in the distant troop raised his head and looked at Mu Chen’s party without any vital in his eyes. His hoarse and hollow voice echoed.

“I am...a subordinate of the Sky Formation Emperor...fifth Commander...death to those who intrude into the battlefield of my liege!”

That hollow and ancient voice resounded without any emotions. Clearly, the Commander of this troop had suffered the invasion of evil aura. His body was tattered, a zombie without any consciousness.

“Sky Formation Emperor? Fifth Commander...”

When Mu Chen and the rest heard the vague, hoarse and hollow voice, their hearts trembled. Could this Death Ruin have been left behind by the ‘Sky Formation Emperor’? If that’s the case, then this Sky Formation Emperor must’ve been the Battle Formation Master that he’s seeking.

“Truly deserving to be called a Battle Formation Master, even his subordinates could form the Spirit of Battle Will and command such a powerful troop.” Nine Nether sighed. If that black silhouette was placed in any of the peak forces in the Northern Region, he could become a part of the higher hierarchy. But under the Sky Formation Emperor, he could only be ranked at the fifth.

A Battle Formation Master was truly powerful.

“This troop is stronger than any of ours.” Mu Chen stared at the demonic wolf Battle Will Spirit above the troop and slowly said. The boundless Battle Will that emanated from the Demonic Battle Will Spirit was something that the Nine Nether Troop could not contend against. That’s because the gap between the two parties was too great, and the zombie troop before them probably numbered around 20,000. Even Xiao Tian could not compete with this troop.

“Everyone, make preparations to attack together.” Mu Chen looked at the Kings and solemnly said.

Although the Battle Will of this troop before them was vast, just a Sixth Grade Sovereign expert alone would definitely be slaughtered by it. It was a pity, but they had a total of five Sixth Grade Sovereign experts!

If Mu Chen borrowed the power of the Nine Nether Troop and Blood Hawk Troop as well, he could also confront Sixth Grade Sovereigns. So, speaking from a certain point of view, they had a total of six Sixth Grade Sovereign experts!

This formation was also the reason for the confidence behind Mu Chen, which he felt glad about. If it was merely him and the Nine Nether Troop coming here alone, they would probably have difficulties advancing forth. This Fallen Battlefield was filled with all sorts of dangers that was impossible to pass through with the strength of their Nine Nether Palace alone.

“Haha, leave that fellow to the five of us. King Mu, please help us keep a lookout. This is a big fish that we cannot allow to slip away.” The Mountain Splitting King laughed as he turned into a streak of light and flew forth.

Whoosh! Whoosh!

Following behind him, the four other Kings moved as well. They had brought the entirety of the Spiritual Energy out from within them, causing the Spiritual Energy undulations to soar into the sky, and making a violent Spiritual Energy storm to sweep throughout this region.

Boom!

The zombie troop had also burst forth with violent Battle Will in response, which was filled with a rotten aura that made others feel disgusted. The Demonic Wolf Battle Will Spirit had opened its mouth and a thousand-foot beam of black light shot forth, locking onto the five Kings.

“Just in time!”

When the Mountain Splitting King saw the attack, not only was he fearless, he even let out a laughter while balling his hand, then threw a fist forth. Boundless Spiritual Energy swept out like a current that he formed into a massive mountain, as if that fist contained the power of a mountain.

“Five Mountains Godly Fist!”

The space before the Mountain Splitting King collapsed under this fist and the fist that was as heavy as a mountain burst out like a bolt of lightning, clashing with that beam of light.

Boom!

Extremely violent undulations swept out, causing space to fluctuate. The Mountain Splitting King’s figure had been sent back over a thousand feet, before his figure stabilised with a stomp of his foot, causing the space beneath his feet to crack.

He boiled with fighting intent as he looked at the troop before him and grinned. “What powerful Battle Will. It’s truly delightful that even this King couldn’t gain the upper hand!”

When Nine Nether and the rest saw the strongest amongst them, the Mountain Splitting King behind them being sent back by the Battle Will, their gazes had turned a little more grave and the four of them exchanged a look before attacking at the same time.

“Nine Nether Feather!”

“Sky Spiritual Sword Art!”

“Blood Hawk Spatial Destruction Wings!”

“...”

The four of them had unleashed their attacks. Since the Sixth Grade Sovereign experts were going all-out, they had caused long cracks to appear on the space. As the Spiritual Energy undulated, the dark aura that filled this region had dissipated by quite a bit.

Roar!

The Commander of the zombie troop had unleashed a deep roar from the surging ocean of Battle Will. He seemed to have sensed some danger from the all-out attacks that came from the four Sixth Grade Sovereigns. Immediately, that Commander waved his hand, causing the Battle Will to surge. The Demonic Wolf Battle Will Spirit had unleashed a long howl and the black runes were constantly flickering on its body, before forming a black crescent moon beneath its mouth.

The runes covered the crescent moon as well, emanating boundless Battle Will.

When Mu Chen saw this scene, his eyes instantly squinted. The Battle Will commanded by that Commander seemed to be more refined, at least such an attack with Battle Will was something that he couldn’t exhibit.

Buzz! Buzz!

The head of the Demonic Wolf Battle Will Spirit firmly flung over and the black crescent moon burst out. The speed was simply indescribable and had instantly appeared before the attacks of the four Kings and pierced through.

Boom! Boom!

The attacks of the two parties clashed, with the black crescent moon displaying astonishing destructive capability. In the path of the crescent moon, it had directly shattered three attacks before the Battle Will dissipated completely.

But even so, the power of that attack had caused Nine Nether and the rest to be startled. After all, that attack from before had destroyed three of their own attacks!

Boom!

When the black crescent moon shattered, the last attack tore through the sky and struck against the zombie troop. Instantly, a violent Spiritual Energy swept out as thousands of zombie warriors were reduced to ashes.

Roar!

The Fifth Commander had unleashed a hollow and an enraged roar, causing the Battle Will to boil even more violently as it started to unleash frantic attacks towards Nine Nether’s party. The Battle Will whistled in this region and the scene was extremely spectacular.

Mu Chen, on the other hand, was watching the battle from afar and had commanded the four troops to seal off this area. Although the zombie troop was a little troublesome, it was still a fragrant loaf of bread. According to Mu Chen’s estimations, if they could refine that zombie troop, they would be able to obtain at least a few thousand Fallen Origin Pellets, which wasn’t a small amount.

Furthermore, the most crucial factor was...

Mu Chen squinted his eyes and looked at the Fifth Commander that was in the black ocean of Battle Will that was currently confronting the five Kings... Perhaps they would be able to obtain some information regarding the Sky Formation Emperor.

Boom! Boom!

As thoughts flashed in Mu Chen’s heart, the battle was getting increasingly intense. The violent Spiritual Energy undulations made even his heart tremble from the sight of it.

Furthermore, what made him even more shocked was that even though there were five Sixth Grade Sovereigns unleashing ferocious attacks, the zombie troop still did its utmost to resist. Every single attack of the Demonic Wolf Battle Will Spirit would pose some threat to the five Kings, so they did not dare to fearlessly unleash their attacks.

However, the situation was just temporary. Although that troop was powerful, it was still clearly insufficient to deal with five Sixth Grade Sovereigns...

But the situation had not gone out of Mu Chen’s expectations. The deadlock had lasted roughly ten minutes and the losses of the zombie troop had gradually increased. Their Battle Will that was initially boundless had started to show signs of disorder.

The Demonic Wolf Battle Will Spirit suffered from the attacks of the five Kings and its figure was swiftly shrinking due to the Battle Will being rapidly exhausted.

However, even under this sort of perilous situation, the Fifth Commander showed no signs of cower and the destructive aura emanated on it grew stronger.

Boom!

Three energies that were a thousand feet long suddenly burst forth from the Mountain Splitting King, Nine Nether and the Spiritual Sword King, piercing through the Demonic Wolf Battle Will Spirit that caused the latter to issue a shriek as its massive figure swiftly collapsed.

When the Demonic Wolf Battle Will Spirit was destroyed, the zombie troop had completely crumbled and the violent Battle Will had instantly dropped.

Roar!

The Fifth Commander unleashed a hollowing roar that was filled with endless unwillingness. It still wasn’t willing to retreat and had burst forth in an attempt to fight with the five Kings.

But without a troop, the fighting power of the Fifth Commander was even inferior to Fourth Grade Sovereigns. So he did not pose any threat to the five Kings, but his bearing that did not fear death made the faces of the Mountain Splitting King and the rest of the Kings to turn solemn. The latter was a senior that had died in the battle with the Fiend Clans, so they had some respect for him. After all, these people had died to protect the Great Thousand World.

“Leave it to me.”

Mu Chen gently sighed as his figure flew out and instantly appeared before the Fifth Commander. He looked at the latter’s hollow eyes and swiftly placed his hand on the latter’s chest. In the next instant, boundless Spiritual Energy burst from his palm like a storm.

Boom!

As the violent Spiritual Energy penetrated into the body of the Fifth Commander, an extricate expression showed on his mummified face as his consciousness was restored in that brief instant in his hollow eyes.

“Tha...thanks...up ahead...there’s the Four Spiritual Battle Formation...”

“Beware...of my liege...”

When the body of the Fifth Commander had completely exploded, an extremely hoarse voice entered Mu Chen’s ears.
