"ROAR!!!"
Bei Ming Dragon Kun's enormous body shuddered violently. As though answering a supreme summons, the power of lightning surged madly toward him, condensing above his head into a pitch-black Thunder Sun over a hundred thousand feet in diameter!
The Thunder Sun rotated slowly, countless lightning dragons coiling and roaring across its surface. At its core lay absolute darkness and deathly silence, radiating destructive fluctuations that could freeze even a Supreme's soul!
Emperor's Fallen Double Pupils, activate!
False World, True Realm: Future-Taking Body, activate!
Pure white radiance flowed forth, gushing like water and enveloping Mu Chen in an instant, making his entire body gleam with immaculate light.
Then emerald radiance wreathed him like flames, the false world empowering his body!
At the very instant the Thunder Sun took shape-
Mu Chen vanished.
Bei Ming Dragon Kun's enormous pupils abruptly contracted.
The next instant.
Mu Chen appeared out of thin air like a phantom, directly above the hundred-thousand-foot Thunder Sun, less than a thousand feet away!
How had he broken through the spatial lockdown, ignored the lightning force field, and crossed dozens of miles in an instant to appear here?
Naturally, it was False World, True Realm: Future-Taking Body!
He had taken the future in which he traveled there in advance, achieving something akin to teleportation!
In that ten-millionth of an instant when Bei Ming Dragon Kun's mind reeled-
"Senior, take this!"
Mu Chen's ringing cry sounded beside his ears.
Beneath Mu Chen's palm, chaos light blazed.
One-Qi Chaos Tower, manifest!
It descended gently.
It landed upon Bei Ming Dragon Kun's head, enveloping the black sun...
BOOM!!!!
Centered on the tower's point of impact, a visible ring of chaos-colored ripples abruptly spread outward!
"ROOOAR!!!!!!"
The force of this single tower actually drove Bei Ming Dragon Kun's boundless body sharply downward!
His head slammed into the Thunder Sea below, throwing up waves of lightning a hundred thousand feet high!
The One-Qi Chaos Tower expanded, poised to suppress Bei Ming Dragon Kun beneath it!
In the blink of an eye, the beast that blotted out the heavens disappeared.
Bei Ming Dragon Kun transformed back into a bald old man. Only his eyes remained like two burning black Thunder Suns, locking onto Mu Chen as he struck with his palm!
The palm strike seemed gentle.
But Mu Chen had no doubt that if it landed squarely, even an ordinary Supreme would be annihilated, body and soul!
He raised his hand and answered with a punch!
There was no radiant glow upon his fist, no lightning, only the purest fist intent. He fused every ounce of his power into this one punch!
BOOOOM!!!!
As though struck by an ancient divine mountain, the bald old man flew backward. Along his path, space was plowed into a bottomless black furrow that failed to heal for a long time.
Mu Chen fared little better.
His entire right arm hung limp, its flesh mangled and its bones shattered. Yet under the effects of the double pupils' radiance and the innate chaos saint body dao embryo, it recovered in an instant!
The bald old man no longer showed a trace of his earlier languid, near-death appearance. He forcibly halted atop the surging lightning waves, lightning flowing through his cloudy eyes. Every flicker made the surrounding hundred thousand feet of Thunder Sea seethe and heave.
As a divine beast, I lost in strength to a human at the Body Tribulation stage...
And that primordial divine tower-is he from a primordial clan?
The two figures crossed amid the lightning. Chaos radiance and tiny electrical arcs erupted around Mu Chen, while the roar of rushing rivers beneath his skin grew ever louder.
Piercing explosions rang out like countless thunderbolts detonating at the same instant, unleashing dazzling white lightning bright enough to blind!
"Suppress!"
Mu Chen shouted!
Chaos light blazed upon his fist. He had perfectly fused the One-Qi Chaos Tower's suppressive Dao resonance into his fist intent!
CLANG!
The bald old man had no choice but to block with lightning! At the same time, he opened his mouth and spat!
Ring after ring of space-warping ripples spread outward. Wherever they passed, deep depressions were pressed into the Thunder Sea below, while the Thunder Slurry descending from above was torn into a sky full of drifting fireflies.
Mu Chen felt a strange, icy power assail him, even causing his blood and vital energy to grow slightly sluggish.
He grunted, circulating power throughout his body and dispelling the anomaly outright!
The bald old man flashed away, transforming into hundreds upon thousands of afterimages!
Every afterimage was as solid as the real thing. Their auras, movements, and even the lightning in their eyes were identical as they lunged at Mu Chen from every direction, above and below, left and right.
Thousands upon thousands of attacks blanketed the heavens and earth, leaving no blind spot!
His double pupils pierced the illusions! He drove his fist straight toward the true body!
Amid the fierce battle, Mu Chen unleashed his spiritual energy without restraint while madly swallowing energy from the sea of lightning like a whale.
Through this violent cycle of expenditure and replenishment, the spiritual energy within him was tempered to its utmost limit, and a bottleneck shattered with a thunderous crash!
He actually broke through in the midst of battle, passing the Spiritual Energy Tribulation outright!
Mu Chen slowly exhaled a breath of turbid air. Upon leaving his body, it condensed into a straight white ribbon that shot hundreds of feet away, scattering several wandering lightning serpents in its path.
The next instant, the Thunder Slurry where he had stood abruptly caved downward and exploded!
And he had already appeared before the bald old man like a bolt of black lightning tearing through the void!
So fast!
Bei Ming Dragon Kun's pupils contracted sharply. His withered palm instinctively gathered countless thunderbolts and swept out sideways, attempting to block him.
BANG!
The bald old man's body shook violently. The lightning waves beneath his feet exploded, and he slid backward uncontrollably, plowing a deep furrow through the Thunder Sea.
He tried to retaliate. Lightning flickered at his fingertips, forming incomparably sharp lightning spikes that stabbed toward Mu Chen's body.
Yet Mu Chen neither dodged nor evaded. Those lightning spikes, powerful enough to pierce mountains, could not leave wounds on his newly regenerated skin for more than a single breath before shattering into a sky full of electrical fragments!
"Suppress!"
Mu Chen shouted in a low voice and threw a punch.
There was still nothing flashy about this punch, but wherever his fist passed, the One-Qi Chaos Tower's weighty Dao resonance, capable of suppressing all arts, became almost tangible. It was as though he was driving forward not a fist, but an entire condensed world of chaos!
The bald old man overlapped his palms. Lightning gathered madly, forming a thick, enormous lightning shield before him.
BOOM!!!!
With an unimaginably deafening crash, the enormous lightning shield held for only an instant before exploding!
As though struck by a falling star, the bald old man let out a muffled grunt and hurtled backward like a cannonball, slamming deep into the Thunder Sea behind him and raising furious waves a hundred thousand feet high.
The situation had changed the instant Mu Chen completed his breakthrough!
Bei Ming Dragon Kun had fallen completely into a losing position!
Mu Chen pursued him. With one step, he shrank the earth beneath his feet and appeared directly above the spot where the bald old man had fallen.
He lowered his head, gazing down at the churning Thunder Slurry, his eyes blazing with fighting spirit.
The Thunder Sea exploded, and the bald old man shot into the sky, looking somewhat disheveled. His tattered black robe was scorched and torn in several places.
"No more fighting, no more!" The bald old man waved his hands with a bitter smile.
After a pause, he added, his voice carrying an indescribable mix of emotions, "I can't beat you anymore."
"Thank you for going easy on me, Senior." Hearing this, Mu Chen could hardly continue, so he offered a respectful salute and thanked him.
The bald old man stared at Mu Chen for a long time, as though trying to see through him inside and out, from his flesh to his soul.
At the Body Tribulation stage, he matched a Ninth Grade Sovereign. At the Spiritual Energy Tribulation stage, he overwhelmed a Ninth Grade Sovereign...
Could he fight an Earthly Sovereign directly after the Divine Soul Tribulation?
What a freak!
