Chapter 912 - Nine Lightning Tribulation Dragon Runes

Rumble!

A violent thunderous roar resounded in this region, causing the heavens and earth to tremble along with it. Every single expert wore a grave expression as they watched the lightning that flew out of Mu Chen’s palm.

That lightning did not have a majestic look, since it was only a foot-sized lightning dragon. However, it was the energy that was contained within such a tiny dragon that made even some Sixth Grade Sovereigns have a drastic change in their expressions.

This lightning dragon was formed with runes, containing all the Battle Will of five troops. With such a boundless Battle Will compressed together, the destructive power of it was astonishing.

Although the Nine Lightning Tribulation Visualisation Technique that Mu Chen had obtained wasn’t complete, he still obtained the Battle Will Art that the Nine Tribulation Battle Emperor had left in it after practising it.

That art was this Nine Lightning Tribulation Dragon Runes that Mu Chen was displaying.

From some information that Mu Chen had obtained, this Nine Lightning Tribulation Dragon Runes was just something that was casually left behind by the Nine Tribulation Battle Emperor. But regardless of anything, it was something left behind by an expert comparable to a Heavenly Sovereign. So in terms of strength, it was extremely powerful for someone at Mu Chen’s level.

Take the Nine Lightning Tribulation Dragon Runes for example. It used a special method to compress the Battle Will and it was said that once one reached the end of its cultivation, one could form a lightning dragon rune at the size of a fly. Despite it getting smaller, the power was something that not even a Ninth Grade Sovereign could resist.

Naturally, the lightning dragon rune that Mu Chen had formed was far from being the size of a fly. Although there was still a huge gap for him to reach that level, the power of it still exceeded the Devil-Devouring Battle Seal.

Although Mu Chen didn’t know what inheritance Lin Ming had obtained, it was undoubtedly a joke to compare that to a pinnacle character like the Nine Tribulation Battle Emperor.

Mu Chen’s black pupils indifferently fixed onto Lin Ming, who had a drastic change in his expression. There wasn’t any hesitation in his attack. His slender finger had gently streaked down the sky.

Boom!

The bolt of lightning tore through space and, in an instant, it had appeared before Lin Ming.

The latter had recovered from the shock and his hair stood on end. He unleashed a deep resounding roar from his throat, “Abyss Land - Devil-Devouring Fang!”

Roar!

At his rear, the black tidal wave of Battle Will dominated from the massive troop. It had directly travelled through space and appeared before Lin Ming. It condensed, forming into a black mouth that was roughly a thousand feet in size.

The huge mouth opened and the pitch-black patch in its mouth was like a bottomless abyss. There was the feeling that it was connected to a black hole realm and anything that entered it would be devoured by the darkness.

Whoosh!

However, the one foot-sized lightning dragon rune wasn’t bothered about it. As the lightning rumbled, it had no hesitation as it charged into the mouth.

When Lin Ming saw that the lightning dragon rune was devoured, someone as cautious as him did not get complacent because of it. Immediately, his seals changed as he tried to control the Battle Will to annihilate the lightning dragon rune. Just when that thought had flashed in his heart, a buzzing lightning noise rang out, which came from the mouth.

An indescribable and overbearing Battle Will erupted like a volcano out of the abyssal mouth.

Sensing how violent the Battle Will was, Lin Ming had a drastic change in his expression. Immediately, his silhouette burst in retreat and the pitch-black Battle Will formed into layers of massive barriers that guarded in front of him.

Crack!

Just as Lin Ming burst in retreat, the devil-like abyssal mouth finally couldn’t bear the sudden burst of violent Battle Will and cracks started to appear on the huge mouth. Lightning shot out from those cracks, which followed with an abrupt explosion of the devil-like mouth.

Rumble!

Lightning, along with incomparable Battle Will, dominated like a tidal wave as the layers of Battle Will barriers were swiftly destroyed.

In just a few breaths of time, the defences that Lin Ming had left behind when he retreated had completely been destroyed and the lightning Battle Will ferociously surged like a wave that was about to envelop Lin Ming.

A shadow was cast down as Lin Ming’s face turned dark. Immediately, he stomped his foot and a black Battle Will skull appeared above him. It opened its ferocious mouth and a massive black halo of sound wave suddenly spread out.

Boom! Boom!

The sound wave, which was formed with Battle Will, struck against the lightning waves, which instantly caused explosions to sound out. At the point of collision, space had turned distorted.

A cold light flashed in Mu Chen’s eyes as he watched this scene and his seal abruptly changed.

Boom!

In the lightning tidal waves, lightning suddenly turned brilliant and, looking carefully at them, those lightning runes had suddenly exploded in the tidal wave.

The self-destruction of runes.

As lightning swept through, the massive black sound wave exploded and Lin Ming was also struck by the impact. His silhouette had flown back in a pathetic state and a groan resounded from his throat.

Lin Ming’s figure was blown back a thousand feet with many warriors amongst the troops unable to help spurting blood from their mouths. They were clearly affected by the clash of their Battle Will.

Rustle!

An uproar resounded in this region, since no one expected Lin Ming, who initially had the upper hand, would actually have the tables turned around in just a few minutes.

Many of the higher hierarchy of the Netherworld Palace, who had joy on their faces just moments ago, had smiles frozen on their faces. Clearly, Mu Chen’s counterattack had exceeded their expectations.

On the contrary, the experts of the Great Havenlaw Domain felt heavily relieved, with the Asura King’s brows that were tightly knitted together having loosened up.

“Haha. Asura King, rest assured. Since King Mu dares to go for it, then he must have definitely given it consideration. Although Lin Ming is powerful, King Mu is not an easy opponent as well.” The Mountain Splitting King smiled from the side.

The Asura King smiled as he looked at the distant youth. “The Nine Nether King has brought a pretty good young man to the Great Havenlaw Domain.”

A smile appeared on Nine Nether’s cool face as she looked at Mu Chen’s silhouette. Back then, when she brought him to the Great Havenlaw Domain, no one could’ve expected that in just barely two years, the insignificant youth would grow to this height. Furthermore, she was more understanding that this was just the beginning. In the future, his name would definitely resound throughout the Greatlaw Continent, or even... the entire Great Thousand World.

“That fellow is truly a centipede that dies but never falls down!” In the direction of the Divine Pavilion, Fang Yi’s face was a little unsightly as he coldly said. He gritted his teeth while looking at Mu Chen flipping the tables around.

“The Great Havenlaw Domain’s luck is pretty good this time to find such an outstanding young man.” The Sky Dragon Lord had knitted his brows. It only took a short one or two years for Mu Chen’s name to rise in the Northern Region. Probably no one had expected that such a dark horse would appear.

Facing Mu Chen’s outstanding performance, even such a figure like the Sky Dragon Lord had to give him a decent evaluation.

“Although Mu Chen is a brilliant talent, Lin Ming is not someone that’s so easy to deal with.” Zhantai Liuli suddenly said in a soft voice with her gaze fixed onto Lin Ming. As someone that had fought Lin Ming before, she also felt a little fearful. Furthermore, she could vaguely sense that the inheritance, which the latter had obtained, was slightly too weird. If one wasn’t cautious enough, they might miserably fail.

Just as Zhantai Liuli spoke, Lin Ming slowly wiped the traces of blood off the corner of his lips from far away and darkly looked at Mu Chen.

“After I become a Battle Formation Master, you’re the first that managed to make me suffer injuries.” The killing intent in Lin Ming’s voice was extremely dense and his vicious gaze was extremely terrifying.

Mu Chen watched as blood veins climbed over Lin Ming’s eyes as he narrowed them.

“Therefore, to express that I am viewing you with great importance, I will use my strongest means... to kill you!” The smile that hung on Lin Ming’s face became even more vicious as he bit on his palm. Blood flowed from his palm. The blood was actually black, which looked extremely bizarre.

Lin Ming’s face gradually distorted as fresh blood flowed from his palm. Along with fresh blood flowing out of his palm, a black bead, which was roughly the size of an infant’s fist, had gradually popped out from his palm.

When the black bead appeared, if one took a clear look at it, one would see many vicious-looking, ghastly faces on it with sharp shrieking noises that were emanating from it filled with resentment and hatred.

A bizarre undulation spread out as well.

When Mu Chen and Zhantai Liuli sensed those undulations, their faces abruptly changed. That’s because they sensed the ripples of will...

The two of them stared at that black bead and suddenly inhaled mouthfuls of chilled air. That’s because they discovered that the ghastly faces on the bead were actually the commanders that were defeated by Lin Ming and couldn’t awaken...

So, it turned out that Lin Ming had used such a method to forcefully extract their wills!

“No wonder that fellow went looking for Commanders. His motive was to extract the will of those Commanders!” Zhantai Liuli’s face turned grave and her heart turned cold from such vicious means from Lin Ming.

“Hehe...”

The smile that hung on the corner of Lin Ming’s face turned even more vicious, before he grabbed the black bead and tossed it into his mouth under the startled gazes of Mu Chen and Zhantai Liuli.

His eyes had practically turned red in an instant, as if there was blood oozing out, which looked extremely terrifying.
