Swoosh!

The white robed Mu Chen, who was holding an ancient crystal sword, instantly rush through the space and directly slashed at the head of Lion King Gu. Mu Chen’s ambush was like a phantom, and even with Lion King Gu’s phenomenal abilities, he could not manage to dodge the attack.

At the moment, Lion King Gu could only stare at the sword as it pierced through the void. He felt the threat coming and could clearly detect that the crystal sword in the white robed Mu Chen’s hand was emitting a fearful aura.

Such as aura definitely belonged to a Heavenly Sovereign. This meant that the master of the crystal sword was a true Heavenly Sovereign!

Therefore, as the sword landed, even though he was a powerful Complete Earthly Sovereign, Lion King Gu’s heart was filled with intense fear. He had not expected that Mu Chen could own such a formidable and deadly weapon! That crystal sword’s power level definitely bypassed the level of any High Grade Sacred Object.

As the sword’s lights swiped across the sky, the sword seemed undodgeable. However, Lion King Gu was an experienced old fox, and at the final moment, he twisted himself into an eerie position and abruptly moved his forehead backwards a few inches.

Sham!

The crystal sword swiped across his ear and slashed into his shoulder. At that moment, even with his extremely strong and muscular body, Lion King Gu felt an unspeakable pain flushing up to his head.

Argh!

A heartrending cry came out of Lion King Gu’s mouth, as almost half of his body below his shoulders had been chopped away by the crystal sword. Moreover, along the path that the sword travelled, there were some crystal lights that were consuming his flesh simultaneously!

Therefore, even though his healing ability was extremely strong as a Complete Earthly Sovereign, he failed to heal the wound. As such, all of the blood and exposed flesh made him a miserable site.

Bang!

The terrified Lion King Gu retreated in terror, leaving his chopped-off body parts just lying there. After he had fled a few miles away, he finally took a rest and stared at the white robed Mu Chen in the distance in fear.

“What a waste,” the white robed Mu Chen mumbled, while holding the crystal sword and looking at Lion King Gu in the distance.

Mu Chen shook his head, as he sympathized with his injury. At first, he had utilized his clone as bait to catch Lion King Gu’s attention. This allowed the actual Mu Chen to ambush him!

This tactic turned out to be very effective, as there was no escape for Lion King Gu. However, he had still managed to dodge directly being hit on his forehead. If he had not, he would be either dead or have lost his fighting capabilities by now.

The blood on the sword evaporated as white robed Mu Chen waved it. He took a glance at his crystal sword and could barely feel that some of its energy had faded away.

According to his estimation, the energy inside this Celestial Emperor Sword could only be unleashed two more times before it was completely exhausted. When that time came, the Celestial Emperor Sword could no longer pose a lethal threat to his opponents.

“Looking at Lion King Gu’s current status, his fighting capabilities must have decreased by three or four tenths, so they should no longer be a threat.” The white robed Mu Chen looked at Mu Chen and nodded.

He then quickly took a leap and charged towards Lion King Gu once again. At the same time, the crystal sword started to glow again. Lion King Gu was in his weakest state at the time, so they could not miss this chance!

On the other side, Lion King Gu quickly ran back and forth when he saw the white robed Mu Chen charging at him again. This was because he did not dare face him! He was terrified by the power of the Celestial Emperor Sword!

Buzz!

Mu Chen, who was standing on the Immortal Golden Body once again, commanded it to engage. As he did so, a few Immortal God Runes raised above the sky, simultaneously launching aggressive attacks against Lion King Gu.

Lion King Gu, who originally occupied the suppressing advantage above the sky, immediately found himself in a difficult position.

He kept running away from the white robed Mu Chen to avoid being killed, yet at the same time, he needed to be prepared for the attack from the real Mu Chen. At the moment, there were signs of danger appearing from all sides!

As Lion King Gu was facing such danger, on the other side of the battlefield, Evil Fish Liang, who was being approached by Long Xiang and Luo Li, instantly changed his expression. He could not believe that Lion King Gu had been placed in such an awful situation.

“Da*n it! I am surprised to see this kid having such high-handed measures!” Evil Fish Liang’s heart started to tremble and his eyes showed his inner panic.

If Lion King Gu was defeated, he would not have a good ending. Hence, he had to figure out a way to help Lion King Gu!

“At this moment, you better take care of yourself first!” A grim voice was suddenly heard as Long Xiang appeared in front of them like a phantom.

As he raised his punch, the cries of a dragon elephant were suddenly heard. The punch was so powerful, it seemed to contain limitless dragon elephant energy. He then dropped the heavy punch right onto the spiritual energy screen.

Bang!

The sturdy spiritual energy screen burst open. At the same time, Evil Fish Liang was blown away by the force of the punch.

He looked pale, as it took him some effort to suppress the raging spiritual energy inside his body. However, looking at Long Xiang, who had just rushed forward like a phantom, he could only scream in anger and converge his mind to concentrate on dealing with Long Xiang and Luo Li.

When Evil Fish Liang was entangled by the both of them, Green Snake ancestor, who was trapped in the week-and-day star descent array, was looking at Lion King Gu amid his dangerous situation. Every time he glanced at the Celestial Emperor Sword in the white robed Mu Chen’s hand, fear and terror would fill his mind.

After all, Green Snake Ancestor had just seen how the white robed Mu Chen had almost killed Lion King Gu using the Celestial Emperor Sword.

This kid is so weird. Although he is an Upper Earthly Sovereign, he owns two manifestations as strong as himself! That sword definitely belongs to a Heavenly Sovereign!

Could it be that a Heavenly Sovereign is supporting him?

When he thought of this, Green Snake Ancestor’s heart went cold for a second. This was because he was all on his own. He did not have any strong background support like the the Budur Ancient Clan.

So, if Mu Chen decided to unleash the Heavenly Sovereign behind him, he could make some troubles with him as a Complete Earthly Sovereign, especially if he could not disturb the Budur Ancient Clan. After all, Lion King Gu and the others had the protection of the Budur Ancient Clan, but Green Snake Ancestor had no one!

Da*n old man! How dare you drag me into this kind of trouble? This kid here, does he look like he has no impressive background or support?

The Green Snake Ancestor kept on cursing in his mind because the situation in front of him was nothing close to what Lion King Gu had told him it would be.

“I can’t stay here for long. This feud is between the kid and the Budur Ancient Clan. As such, there is no reason for me to get into it.” The Green Snake Ancestor clenched his teeth and held his fist tight.

A yellow talisman suddenly appeared in his hand. Above the talisman, there was a spatial fluctuation.

This was an ancient teleportation talisman that had been acquired from the Ancient Celestial Palace Relics. It could help him escape from any trap or dangerous situation. At first, he had not wanted to use it, but if the Heavenly Sovereign that was behind Mu Chen decided to come out, he would have no choice but to use it.

The Green Snake Ancestor did not hesitate anymore, but snapped his finger, causing the ancient talisman in his hand to start to burn. Suddenly, a strong spatial fluctuation burst open. The next second, it turned into a space whirlpool, breaking the seal of the week-and-day star descendant array.

“Green Snake Ancestor! What are you trying to do?” Lion King Gu shouted immediately, as he could feel the great burst of spatial fluctuation.

However, Green Snake Ancestor did not pay attention to his words. Instead, he stepped into the whirlpool and disappeared, not even looking back.

“Ba*tard!” Lion King Gu flew into a rage when he saw Green Snake Ancestor running away.

Without the suppressing force by Green Snake Ancestor, Ling Xi would manipulate the week-and-day star descendant array to fight against them. Facing such a powerful array, Lion King Gu would be placed even closer to death, and he was already in imminent danger!

Buzzzzz…

Right after Green Snake Ancestor escaped, the entire week-and-day star descendant array started shaking. Thereafter, countless starlights fell from the sky, all of them heading towards him, trying to trap him.

As he was looking at the falling stars, Lion King Gu’s head was tingling. This huge array originally could resist a Complete Earthly Sovereign. If he was at his best, then that would not be a problem.

However, he was not only heavily injured, but he was also being simultaneously intercepted by Mu Chen. Two more slashes from Mu Chen with that horrible sword would surely be the end of him!

Thinking of death, Lion King Gu’s heart was filled with boundless fear. The next moment, he bit his teeth and yelled, “You little beast! This is what you asked for!”

He then held his fist and a jaden scroll appeared in his hand. He then quickly smashed the jaden scroll and broke it into pieces.

Bang!

The jaden scroll broke and turned into endless spiritual lights that rose above the sky and eventually formed a giant space whirlpool. Inside the whirlpool, there was a terrible fluctuation coming out from the space.

Mu Chen’s expression twisted when he saw the scene, as that spiritual energy fluctuation was fathomless! One could even feel a sense of despair emanating from it.

“It’s a Heavenly Sovereign!” Mu Chen’s pupils contracted. He could not believe that Lion King Gu had managed to summon a Heavenly Sovereign from the Budur Ancient Clan!

Mu Chen seemed worried. A stone rune flashed and appeared between his palm. If the Budur Ancient Clan really wanted to release the Heavenly Sovereign, he would have no choice but to use up his last favor to summon the Martial Ancestor.

With such a movement, the battlefield at Luo Li’s side was interrupted. Evil Fish Liang flashed and teleported to the side of Lion King Gu instantly.

Upon his arrival, he stared at the giant whirlpool and asked, “Old man, didn’t you hear what the Great Elder said? Do not allow the Heavenly Sovereign to put a hand on this loser!”

“I don’t care about that anymore!” Lion King spat out the words. “Hei Guang is one of our people. If you could keep this as a secret, the Great Elder would not have to know about it.”

Evil Fish Liang nodded when he heard his words.

“Destroy that spatial whirlpool!” Mu Chen yelled to the sky. If he could destroy the spatial whirlpool, it would stop the arrival of the Heavenly Sovereign.

As his roar fell, the week-and-day star descendant array released countless starlights that blasted towards the whirlpool like meteors. Mu Chen then invoked the Immortal Golden Body, and a few Immortal God Runes rose to the sky and blasted towards the whirlpool.

Long Xiang, Luo Li, and the others were all trying to destroy the whirlpool. However, looking at their actions, Lion King Gu gave out a grim laugh.

He could see that the borderless whirlpool had expanded in a phenomenal speed. Just when the numerous attacks were about to land, a thundering voice of an old man, which was filled with suppressing force, pierced through the space far away, then spread out…

“Ba*tard! How dare you be so wild and arrogant in front of me?”

Boom!

At that moment, a giant spiritual energy hand came out directly from the spatial whirlpool. With only a clap from it, all of the attacks were obliterated. This was no surprise, as that giant hand was so big, it could cover up the entire island!

Long Xiang’s face turned pale. Facing the dignified Heavenly Sovereign, they had no chance.

Mu Chen became even more worried. He stared at the giant hand that was coming out of the whirlpool. However, the space in front of them suddenly broke at the moment, and a red gourd hopped out from the broken space.

“Hey old man! Hahaha!” When the red gourd hopped out, a loud, sardonic laugh could be heard coming from around Mu Chen.
