This chapter is updated by NovelFree.ml
Violent fluctuations of Spiritual Energy exploded across the sky and that powerful pressure had caused many people’s faces to change into grave expressions as they looked at that young man.
It was naturally Mu Chen, who had rushed over. When he descended onto the mountain, rage rose in his heart when he saw the tears on Nine Nether’s face.
From the first day he came to know Nine Nether; her unyielding side was deeply imprinted in his heart. But right now, this unyielding girl was crying, so he could only imagine how many grievances she suffered.
“Patriarch Tian Huang, are you guys alright?” Mu Chen looked at Patriarch Tian Huang and supported Elder Lu before cupping his fists. “I’m sorry to have come late.”
Tian Huang and Elder Lu were stunned as they looked at Mu Chen. They couldn’t believe that Mu Chen really came here.
‘This brat dares to offend the Phoenix Clan for Nine Nether?’
“You’re not late, not late…” Tian Huang immediately waved his hand and bitterly said, “My Nine Nether Bird Clan is helpless with this situation, so we could only get Elder Tian Que to inform you about it. I’m sorry to have caused you trouble.”
Mu Chen smiled before he replied with a solemn expression, “What are you saying? Nine Nether greatly helped me in the past, and if it wasn’t for her, I would’ve died by now. So no matter where she is, I will rush over to help her.”
Patriarch Tian Huang wore a complicated expression. Mu Chen’s words made him feel guilty and gratified. He was guilty that they doubted his character, while gratified for Nine Nether’s choice of friends.
After Mu Chen and Tian Huang spoke, Nine Nether’s emotions calmed down, so he moved over and teased, “I never expected that you would also cry.”
Wiping the tears on her face, Nine Nether stared at Mu Chen before she lashed out a kick against Mu Chen’s back. “You still dare to tease me?!”
But soon after, she said in a faint voice, “But you shouldn’t have come.”
Although Mu Chen was no longer comparable to the past, the Phoenix Clan also couldn’t be underestimated.
Shaking his head, Mu Chen looked at Nine Nether and replied, “Who protected me when I left the Northern Spiritual Realm back then and brought me to the Great Thousand World? You did not despise that I was weak and helped me, so how can I abandon you?”
At that time, he was still young and weak. The reason why he could go through all the perilous dangers was due to Nine Nether’s help. If it wasn’t for her, he wouldn’t have reached his current height.
Hearing Mu Chen’s words, Nine Nether couldn’t help feeling sour in her nose again as her eyes welled up with tears before she suppressed them.
“Who are you? And why are you interfering in the affairs of my Divine Beast Clans?” A noble voice resounded. Huang Jin had spoke while looking at Mu Chen.
Raising his head, Mu Chen faced the Phoenix King. “I am Mu Chen. I was invited by the Nine Nether Bird Clan to protect Nine Nether.”
His words instantly caused an uproar while everyone looked at Mu Chen. Evidently, they weren’t unfamiliar to the rising name in the Great Thousand World.
Although he had already expected this answer, the Phoenix King couldn’t help knitting his brows. If it was another human Heavenly Sovereign that tried to interfere in this matter, he would’ve forcefully chased them out. However, he couldn’t do that to Mu Chen, since his mother was the Grand Elder of the Ancient Buddha Clan. Not to mention his relationship with the Flame Emperor and Martial Emperor. Furthermore, he’s also a Demon Slayer King of the Great Thousand Palace. With all sorts of halos around Mu Chen, it made him possess intimidation.
This made him feel that it’s troublesome, since Mu Chen also had the backing of Saint Heavenly Sovereigns. Thus, he couldn’t use his status as a Saint Heavenly Sovereign to suppress Mu Chen, or he might cause the Saint Heavenly Sovereigns standing behind him to come up. At that time, a confrontation between Saint Heavenly Sovereigns would undoubtedly be troublesome.
“Imperial Father, there’s no need to bother about such matters…” Huang Xuanzhi smiled while Huang Jin was pondering about how to deal with Mu Chen. He stared at the latter. “I’ve long heard of the mighty deeds of the Mu Abode’s Ruler in the Ancient Buddha Clan. But this is not the Ancient Buddha Clan, and there’s no Protective Spiritual Array for you to use.”
Although his words were calm, everyone agreed, since the reason why Mu Chen could suppress all the other Elders in the Ancient Buddha Clan was due to their Protective Spiritual Array. However, he’s just a Middle Phase Spirit Heavenly Sovereign.
The various talents that could enter the Deification Pool were all terrifying, and Mu Chen couldn't achieve what he did in the Ancient Buddha Clan here.
Huang Xuanzhi was truly the son of the Phoenix King, since his words had erased Mu Chen’s glorious achievements.
Nodding his head, Mu Chen replied, “The Elders in the Ancient Buddha Clan were a little more troublesome, which was the reason why I needed to use the Protective Spiritual Array. However, why would I need it for such a small matter?”
“Haha, Mu Abode’s Ruler is truly heroic.” Huang Xuanzhi smiled as he slowly continued, “It looks like you’re looking down on our Supreme Divine Beast Clans.”
There was a mocking smile on the corner of his lips. His words were vicious, he had directly placed Mu Chen opposite of the Supreme Divine Beast Clans.
His words had instantly attracted the attention of those watching talents from the various Supreme Divine Beast Clans, with all of them looking at Mu Chen.
There was curiosity, indifference, and even disdain in those gazes…
“Heh, a human in the Middle Phase Spirit Heavenly Sovereign Realm dares to boast here? Aren’t you afraid of biting your tongue?” An eerie smile resounded with disdain.
Everyone’s gazes were attracted by that voice. They saw a sinister-looking man standing with his hands behind his back. The smile hanging on his lips looked like the cold edge of a blade.
Radiance burst out from his rear, forming into a huge bird that seemed like a golden phoenix or condor.
“That’s the Golden Condor Clan’s genius, Fang Jing. He has the bloodlines of the Golden Phoenix Condor and Real Phoenix, and they’re extremely close with the Real Phoenix Clan. They’re said to be the strongest allies of the Real Phoenix Clan.” Tian Huang explained with an ugly expression beside Mu Chen.
“Just a Late Phase Spirit Heavenly Sovereign, nothing threatening about him.” Mu Chen smiled as he ignored Fang Jing’s provocation. He didn’t even bother to take a glance at the latter.
In his eyes, Fang Jing was merely a clown that’s trying to get on Huang Xuanzhi’s good side.
“Heh, courting death!” Fang Jing furiously smiled, but he did not make a move on the spot. He just looked at Mu Chen with ferocity in his eyes.
“Don’t bother with such futile provocation, no one is stupid. You can come and test me if you want to find out about my strength.” Still ignoring Fang Jing, Mu Chen looked at Huang Xuanzhi and responded.
The smile on Huang Xuanzhi’s face receded as he coldly stared at Mu Chen and said word for word, “I-will-surely-take-the-Undying-Bird’s-Bloodline!”
Mu Chen’s gaze was also looking at Huang Xuanzhi as he replied, “As I’ve said before. You’re not qualified.”
The two of them stood in a confrontation that made many people inwardly smack their lips. The two of them were truly ferocious, an absolute genius of the Phoenix Clan and a renowned genius of the Great Thousand World.
However, no one knew who would laugh until the end.
While the atmosphere was tense, the emerald lake suddenly rippled and endless spiritual light soared into the sky like a hot spring.
Instantly, an invisible pressure burst out that even caused Mu Chen’s eyes to narrow. He could see many silhouettes in the light that took various Divine Beast forms…
Naturally, those must be the Heavenly Sovereigns that died.
“This lake isn’t simple.” Mu Chen muttered to himself. Although this lake only seemed to be a thousand feet deep, his perception told him that this lake was boundless, as if it had formed into another world.
“The Deification Pool is opening. Everyone, make your preparations.” Huang Jin’s voice resounded.
Hearing his words, the atmosphere suddenly grew tense and everyone looked at it with a blazing gaze.
In the next moment, waves lifted in the emerald lake that broke the silence. It felt as if the seal had been unlocked with a torrential spiritual light filling this entire region.
“Enter!” Along with Huang Jin’s voice, everyone flew into the sky and dived down into the emerald lake.
When they dived into the lake, they instantly disappeared, as if they had stepped into another world.
Many of them were alone. According to the rules, only those beneath the Heavenly Sovereign Realm could bring a protector in to fight for them.
Taking a deep breath, Nine Nether looked at Mu Chen. “You really don’t regret it? There will certainly be an intense battle inside.”
With a smile on his lips, Mu Chen stretched out his hand. “You’ve protected me for so long, now it’s my turn to protect you.”
A charming smile instantly spread out on Nine Nether’s lips before she stretched out her hand and gently held onto Mu Chen’s hand.
In the next moment, the two of them turned into a streak of light and they dived into the emerald lake.
